Hi all,

we still have some more hypervisors left to be filled with our special deals. We offer them in Frankfurt, Germany and London, UK. We will open our third location (Amsterdam) very soon and have plans to expand to three US locations throughout 2017.

Our location in Germany offers Anti DDoS protection via Voxility (> 500 Gbps) by default while the London location is protected by a Corero solution (> 100 Gbps). If you want we can also route all outbound traffic via Voxility in Frankfurt for your VPS, which would be around 15 EUR / TB traffic.

Locations
Frankfurt, Germany
London, UK
Amsterdam, NL (very soon)
Washington D.C. (Q2/2017)
Los Angeles, CA (Q3/2017)
Miami, FL (Q4/2017)

Special Plan
- 2 vCPU Cores
- 512 MB ECC RAM
- 15 GB Pure SSD Storage
- 500 GB Traffic / month @ 1 Gbps port
- 12 EUR per year
- Frankfurt or London
ORDER NOW >

Pricing in EUR. Excludes any applicable tax. Additional traffic is charged at 0,02 EUR / GB.

Ignore the "page not found" message on the checkout page and please make sure to select the yearly plan.

Custom deals are also possible, for example if you need 1 GB RAM instead of 512 MB we can do it for 20 EUR / year, etc etc. - simply contact us to get an offer and a URL to order.

    Yes, this is on the roadmap. We actually have some of the servers already but can't use them right now because our panel doesn't support it. If you want I can manually set one up for you but you wouldn't be able to manage it via our panel. If you are interested simply write me a PM with your requirements.

    Except for the virtkick panel I can report quite positively regarding those (and custom) VPS at nodion.
    They were a quite positive surprise. If you can live with relatively low traffic volume and want a cheap vps, go for it. Also the support is good and usually quick and friendly.

    As for custom ISOs, that's not really a major problem if your know your way in your OS. I have, for instance, installed others OSs or versions on two vps from nodion.

    One simple way to do that is to install whatever OS they offer and you know and to give it ample swap, say 1 GB. Once it's up and running you deactivate the swap and install your OS of choice into that GB. Once that's up and running you kill the original partition from the original first OS install, format it, and auto mount it as /home or whatever. Done.

  • So tempting! Tell me you got an IPv6 setup for a proper dual-stack on your roadmap and I'll give in instantly. :P

    Can't possibly bump that 500GB per month to 1TB? I'd buy it then

  • williewillie Member
    edited January 2017

    Nice. 15gb ssd is really an improvement over 10gb. I have a few 10gb plans and package installs end up eating maybe 5gb of it. So a 15gb plan leaves 2x as much space for user files.

    I'm sick of HDD plans and don't plan to buy any more unless they're storage sized, 100GB or higher, or else very minimal (lowendspirit style). SSD is so much nicer.

    I'm able to resist the locations available right now even though they sound great. When Los Angeles becomes available, resisting might be harder.

    What is your Frankfurt DC and how is its connectivity to Hetzner?

    I did a quick test for you from my 12 € box at nodion.

    Using http://hetzner.de/100MB.iso as test case:

    Result: Close to 100 Mb/s speed.
    Pinging same host:

    Thanks for the link. I guess that this method (although clever) is complex to the extent that it requires KVM within KVM to begin with ...

    Sorry for the simple-minded question, but may I ask why one is restricted to these ISOs? Is it a non-technical decision on your part, or is it a technical decision?

    Also, could you say a few words about the control panel that you use? Based on comments made by others, I guess that you don't use SolusVM, but I couldn't find any information on your web page about what you do use (but perhaps I missed it).

    Thanks! Do you mean 100MB/s (1 second transfer of file)? If not, I wonder what happened to the 1Gbps port.

    Thanks for this tip. But just wondering: how do you "install your OS of choice into that GB"? I mean, you have the first OS installed (say, Debian), you boot into that, you now download an ISO (say, OpenBSD), but then how do you install the OpenBSD ISO into the deactivated swap space? Don't you first have to be able to boot the ISO?

    (I say "just wondering" because I'm not seriously thinking of trying to do this, so please don't feel that you have to go into details!)

    Nope, I mean 100 Mb/s (small 'b', meaning bits). The speed in bytes was 11 MB/s.

    Concerning the 1Gb/s port ... oh well, that's normal. Many (most?) providers tell about the physical port and not about the virtual - and limited - port.
    And please: I'll certainly not complain about a 12 €/year vps having a 100Mb/s port. I've seen enough 50€ and more/year vps with no better connectivity (and no problems with that either; but well, I have no really big sites running).

    Just did it on multiple vps. Most vps still come with FreeBSD 10.2 or .3 but I want 11.
    I don't know the details for linux from the top of my head but it can be done, too.
    In FreeBSD it's very simple. One runs the installer (from the installed system. No iso mounting and fumbling) and merely adapts the remote url to whatever one wants. 1GB room is even enough to install some basic stuff like ntpd or a name server.
    The only tricky part is booting but that's only tricky because most VNCs are shitty.

    Oh well, thanks for noticing this. It's disappointing.

    What speed do you get from one vps to another within nodion? I wonder if this could be a bsd lan driver issue.

    Thanks, I see, but what you're doing (if I understand well) is FreeBSD-to-FreeBSD. I suspect that (say) Linux-to-OpenBSD would be much trickier using this method ...

    Linux-to-OpenBSD is a piece of cake. Just download bsd.rd to your root partition and boot it from grub via VNC:

    kopenbsd <path-to-bsd.rd>
    boot
    

    And you are all set for the installation.

    Thanks, I see your point, but kopenbsd? Where does kopenbsd come from?

    I hadn't thought about trying to boot bsd.rd directly from grub on Linux. (So this really works? :-) )
