I don't want to go crazy with that, but does it mean I can occasionally run a cpu task without upsetting anyone? Usual situation is I want to verify md5sum on a few hundred GB of files, which can take hours. I've had to do that a few times.
Any benchmarks?
can do that, once provisioned...
Take a look, it's available from repositories:
I'd rather think of it as €4/m for year 1, then €2/m in years 2 and 3. It's not clear what will happen to hdd's in 2018-19. This says hdd prices may actually get higher:

I'm twitching about buying 1 year but can probably resist 3.
Just ordered one since I couldn't resist. Stupid Maxmind told me that my IP address didn't match the country I entered. Hope it gets resolved.
Ordered one. How long it will delivered to us?
Quoting myself, but what the hell. Ashley answered the ticket within the hour and the order is now pending delivery.
what about backups?
i see in proxmox that i can do backups.
i havent done that yet.
but asking before trying.
no you can't because there is no storage you could choose to backup to ;-)
well ok then well i wanted to know before running into problems
thanks
most probably it's not intended that customers make use of proxmox directly. I have to admit, it's interesting though ^^
that WHMCS module for managing media is ugly as hell ;-)
well i got there because of the NoVNC Console
link goes to
the link to proxmox (i dont share link for reason i dont know if im allowed to)
and i was automaticly logged it.
sure, wont work otherwise as it depends on the session you started before by using the api and console ;-)
that UEFI thing is big crap and totally overrated as I only use debian, but that's probably just me. tried to mount the wrong netinst iso (i386) multiple times and wondered what the was wrong... now waiting for installation to finish ^^

This has to be ram or ssd cache.
We're talking about KVM boxes here, right?
(OpenVZ hater here)
Blithering below, read only if bored:
Why haven't I ordered this yet. Main reason is dilemma between 1 year and 3 year order. Should order 3 year and be done with it, but I'm short of cash.
Looking at it as ordering 2 years @ 48 euro => get 3rd year free, then if I get 1 year and feel likely to renew it, getting 3 years is a no-brainer. Why wouldn't I renew?
1) Something happens to zxhost or its service level in the next year => not likely, they've done good all this time.
2) Cost of raw hard drives drops by enough in the next year that 4 euro/mo/TB is no longer attractive => also seems unlikely based on current trends
3) My disk space requirements drop a lot => kind of possible, I may be able to hand off a lot of my data to someone else, or merge redundancy in it to make it smaller
4) I get another dedi with even more HDD space so I don't need the extra TB => possible, though this TB is way cheaper than space on most dedis. And having the TB could let me get the 2nd dedi with SSD.
5) I actually don't need the space right now. I added 1TB of storage VPS in the past half year since the previous ZXhost offer dried up, so it's a little bit scattered but for now I have enough space (I keep needing more of course).
6) my new online.net dedi gives me another TB => I feel likely to cancel it, so I shouldn't count that. It actually gives 1.7TB counting the ftp backup storage that I almost definitely will cancel.
three years for the best ROI maybe a long term, yet if unsure those 45€ yearly aren't much either.
I doubt in prices per TB dropping in short time. had a 2x3TB hetzner auction server at 25 euro two years ago - not much changed yet.
but I agree at last it depends on your need (but I'd say you need, sooner or later that is)
IMHO it's value for money from a provider I've been with nearly two years now....
as promised network (wget) speeds:
Thanks. The only wget destination I currently really care about is Hetzner, and I got 100+MB/s from there, enough to wonder if I was hosing the port on the ZXhost server.
Here's a pessimistic post about the price of ram/flash and indirectly hdd:

On the other hand drives are still getting bigger. Once there are 16TB SMR drives, $10/mo slot hosting starts looking attractive.
@willie
No need to worry nodes connected by multiple 1Gbps on public side just a single VM limited.
Ordered 1 year and managed to get payment through after multiple hassles with CC company. Yayy! VPS not active yet but that's fine, I have some other things to do tonight anyway.
Just wanted to chime in, I've been with ZXHost for 9 months and am quite happy with them. Not sure if they need the endorsement; they are known and respected here. I have a LET special storage KVM that's been successfully migrated from Hetzner to Telehouse Frankfurt with no problems. Their SAN storage is still pretty zippy.
While the deal itself is actually pretty awesome, it's not what i'm really looking for. I'd like to order the small KVM SSD version which is actually not available at the moment. Plus I'm not willing to pay for a whole year, even if the price is cheap though.
Is there any chance to get a KVM SSD?
will the shared cpu be powerful enough to run plex streaming?
If you require no transcoding and DP/DS only.
Ah right, wont be suitable, thanks
All current orders have been setup, just under 10 hours left on offer.
@nobizzle we have no plan to currently re-stock SSD.
@AshleyUK is the best
Great support for setting up the new Cloud Storage. Bought 3 packages and got a nice 3TB, 6GB KVM. Windows 2016 runs very nice, responsive and fast. Geekbench: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/1682270
Got this up and running! I hit one minor installation snag, maybe because I'm dumb: I installed from the debian 8.6 netinst, which had me configure an initial root password and a user account with its own password. After the install finished I tried to ssh in as root but couldn't, because the default sshd config didn't allow password root login.
After some head scratching I was able to scp my ssh public key to the user account, then login as root through the VNC and copy the public key to the root account, then login as root by ssh. Alternatively I could have changed the sshd config to allow passworded root login, or even put the public key on an external web server and then pull it in with wget over the VNC. But this is all pretty hacky.
Anyway the box is working fine now (thanks Ash!) but if there's a better recipe for setting it up, I'd be interested in hearing it.
The management system is very nice: mount an iso from a list, boot the KVM, and install through an encrypted web VNC. It puts together pieces that have been missing from some other hosts, and afaict gets rid of the need for SolusVM and other management panels.
