Could you have just switched to a different damn location, there's 15 of them ffs. From my experience with these hourly cloud providers (primarily DO) it's faster to just delete the VPS and create again possibly at a different DC, and any issues there may have been with reliability or performance are typically instantly gone.
Atlantic.net had a $1/mo 256MB plan, they capped it at 1 per person I think, and then got rid of it within months. It was supposed to be a trial/sandbox plan but they had a ton of people buying them and nothing else/not upgrading.
I had one of that idling for like half a year, but the price is not that competitive nowadays so I cancelled it eventually.
I had a three-figure number of VMs across 9 locations. Don't be such a gobby amateur.
I just spun up one of the $2.50 vultrs. It's very responsive (ansible setup was much quicker than i expected) probably because of the fast network. Look like it gets a full recent cpu core too, 2.4 ghz, gets similar openssl rsa benchmark to my E3 scaled by frequency.
my latest benchmarks for Vultr 768MB VPS in Los Angeles looks like their 2.4Ghz is Broadwell based https://community.centminmod.com/posts/44838/
During PHP-FPM compile, Vultr sees march=Broadwell so they could be using Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 based processors ? i.e. Xeon E5-2640v4 @ 2.4Ghz
Nice. I'm really liking this thing. Sysbench rndrw fileio test gets around 6k iops which is amazing for a cheap vps. I wonder if it will last. It feels like they've installed new hardware that is still almost empty but will fill up over time.
I like being able to spin up a snappy server like this (or a bigger one) for just a few hours or days. Not really what Vultr wants but it's useful to me quite often. I've been doing that with scaleway but these vultrs are a lot faster. It's nicer than expected.
I had a 5$ Broadwell for the last 6 months. The latest $2.5 one I got today was a Haswell. Luck of the draw I guess.
I use their home New Jersey location and it's been solid, rarely ever any issues.
A quick request for advice: comparing arubacloud's plan for €1/m and vultr's plan for $2.5/m, which is to be preferred?
arubacloud's plan seems too good to be true -- I imagine that they take a loss on this plan. I prefer to install from a custom ISO: from what I can tell, only vultr's plan would allow me to do this, but can anyone confirm this?
I still have that 256 mb plan and works great
It's a bit early to have a definite opinion, but right now, these new Vultr⇋ are a bit better in performance. But remember you can get two Aruba for the price of one Vultr⇋. Check my page for details (one in San Jose, one in Sydney).
What is ⇋, and why are you such a lowlife scumbag that you hide your referral link behind an URL shortener?
well you got a great sig
Ehmmm. What do you pretend from unmanaged, (unless you talked about managed services) even a bottle of Good Italian Wine ??? Cmon
Dose vultr allow legal porn or legit adult content?
My kind of price range. I now have 2 instances running.
Odd pricing, though. I topped up with $10 and got another +$20 credit. Effectively I'm paying $10 for the year.
They must be banking on the idea of customer retention and liking their service, and/or there'll be a price hike somewhere along the line.
C. Publish, post, upload, distribute, traffic or disseminate any defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful content, such as child pornography or virtual child pornography.
So, yes. you can check the policy here https://www.vultr.com/legal/use_policy/
They limit users to only 2 of these $2.50 instances and refer to them as "sandbox" so I think the plan is to hook customers who'll upgrade.
The limit is probably there so people like me don't trade their $5 for $2.50...but really, I'm sure I'm not the ideal Vultr customer, who is probably more of a startup or small business.
Gotcha. Dumb limit
I'm a customer for $2.50/m machines, nothing else.
Yup! I still have one of VULTR's old 3.6GHz VPSes on the original $8 pricing that has been running around 20 porn sites for 1+ years with no issues. Choopa used to be popular as a host on adult forums back in the day.
ooh nice probably Intel Xeon E5-2640v4 Broadwell-EP 2.4Ghz or Xeon E5-2630v3 Haswell-EP 2.4Ghz then
So, I signed up with a referral link and got the 20$ credit but I removed it to try another high value credit codes but none of them worked and now I am not able to get the 20$ referral credit back
Edit: Got a workaround. PM if required
Tried it this afternoon. Ok.
Good entry
value for KVM in Asia.
Confusing panel, but well whatever.
Outright allow you to upload iso. Now this is a strong reason to use this provider.
Network wise, (from my perspective) is acceptable. ~40ms to SG, on par with DO and Linode. But still noting compared to hostus at 11ms.
This single reason is enough to make me stick with Hostus's more expensive 256mb ovz.
External basic firewall management. Innovative, but I think im more comfortable doing it inside OS.
Their centos image is unusual compared to what typically offered by other provider, but in a good way. Epel, wget and all those things you install on first login are already installed.
No kernel management. Not a big loss but would be nice to have.
Free snapshot without some dumb limitation is killer. But why they image the whole disk instead of just used space? Too much disk to give away?
No real text-based or ssh based emergency console. Meh.
No disk management. I like Linode's multiboot capabiliy.
I dont have any benchmark, but I can feel lots of stuff I do while setting up the server (os) was slightly smoother if not faster in Linode.
Compared to what?
I find the DO and Vultr panels to be the easiest to use. Solus is easy to use but only because I've suffered it for so long...a newcomer would probably find it more difficult.
The most difficult panels are Azure (OMG so overengineered) and AWS (so many options).
Linode's panel is also pretty easy. Stallion is easy, though the animated equine bestiality images are distracting.
What do you mean by "No kernel management"? Doesn't the VPS run an OS with a kernel?
He wants the retarded thing like at DO where the kernel is external to VPS for whatever stupid reason, and as a side effect you get to choose the kernel before you boot. Actually a vestige of their hacked together KVM setup, which no other provider repeats.
Vultr on the other hand is just a proper full virtualization KVM where you treat it like a real self-contained machine with kernel inside it as well.
I strongly agree on the Azure portal, the old portal at least looks nice, the new one is just, way too bloated. Their powershell client works much better than the web portal.
?
Oh, I see. I've never used DO, so I didn't know that they did things differently in this respect. I definitely prefer the proper KVM approach ...
