Just wanted to let the LET community know about our opening on Jun/29/2013. ioFlare will be a performance VPS provider with a focus on IO intensive VPS offerings powered by pure SSD storage space and lots of it in a true HA environment with automatic failover. All VPS are running on KVM.

We have been testing, tweeking, breaking, and than breaking things again for over a year now and finally are ready to open the doors.

Here is a sample of what are most basic plan will look like: (this is not set in concrete and may change before we go live)

Price: $5/mo

CPU: 6 cores (750 units)

Ram: 0.75 GB

Pure SSD Space: 15GB

Bandwidth: 0.75 TB premium bandwidth

Port: 100Mbit

Unmanaged service

Through our testing we are seeing a average of 1.2GB/s sequential and 40-50k IOPS on the VMs.

I'll update this with more details almost on a daily basis as we wind down to opening day.

Check us out on FB > https://www.facebook.com/IOflare
Join us on IRC:

Server: irc.esper.net

Channel: #ioflare

Ports: 6667, 6669 (SSL)

Come chill with us on IRC I will be giving away a couple of VPS (base package) to those that come hangout on IRC :)

    Of course he did. And then he registered LET account, immediately posted advertisement... damn summer!

    @Vance_IOflare read them http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/3996/lowendtalk-guidelines#latest .. twice! (just to be sure before your next post).

  • My reasoning is this : This isnt in offers section and he has nothing to offer, and the spec/price is a kind of pointer? can probably give it a go to see how things turn out?

  • SpiritSpirit Member

    How hard is to do things properly in some decent manner? He just joined and already posted "hey, we're starting business, something like this will be our offer". Sorry, but that's not contribution to community in any way but spam about his business from first minute he joined.

  • My apologies i didn't want to come off as spammy. That being said it was not really meant to be an ad more of to get an idea of what people thought of our base offering.

    For Facebook I promoted it with a paid ad for a few days as a test and thats where the likes came from.

    their Facebook "Close to 10,000 manhours by VPS hosting specialists have went into designing, testing, and tweeking our infrastructure"

    and then on their IRC

    "Locations? Answer : location will be in OVHs new canadian datacenter (BHS) than we will expand to their RBC DC."

    Which raises the question, "what infrastructure???" because OVH only offers colo in their Paris DC1 and Global Switch DC in Clichy. No colo at either BHS or Roubaix. If you don't own your own equipment or IP space you don't have infrastructure to tweek.

    Summer. Time of the year I actually have time to program a decent VPS CP.

  • Welcome to LET.... ?

    Thanks :) We have decided what we will be doing for our opening. We will be giving away 100 KVM SSD powered Cloud servers on our opening day which should be fun. I'll post more information on that in a few days time. Some of those will be given out to those that have been hanging with us on our IRC so join us there for a chance at one.

  • We have delayed the beta/opening until July 22nd. After careful consideration we decided it would be better off to complete the majority of our custom module before the beta. This will enable many more Cloud specific options.
