SSD Nodes KVM Flash Sale (paid-yearly)

MasonRMasonR Community Contributor
edited August 2017 in General

Details Here: https://www.ssdnodes.com/kvm-preview/

KVM VPSes are available for the next 24 hours at SSD Node's Montreal, CA location (OVH) at a discounted rate. Looks like they're very big on yearly services as the monthly prices is quite steep compared to the yearly price.

Best package looks to be the 4 CPUs / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD / 8TB Transfer for $120 yearly. I don't believe they yet support customer-provided isos, unfortunately, so you're stuck with their templates for the time being (CentOS 6/7, Ubuntu 16.04, or Debian 8).

I had a yearly OpenVZ box with them that I let expire earlier this year which performed quite well -- didn't have a use for it any longer due to some dedi purchases. Only one or two instances of downtime (which were only a couple minutes if I recall correctly). Support is very good and Matt (the owner) is a good guy.

Cheers!

    Given that we can get similar-spec'd hardware in the same datacenters for a similar price, welp..

    I've been running their Virtuozzo 7 containers for a while, there's been a few snags due to this being essentially a beta but I've been happy so far. Support's friendly, replies on tickets within 12 hours and live chat personnel are OK for the occasional small question and tasks. Matt (the owner) emails you personally to ask how you're going with their service, so if you appreciate that personal touch, they're pretty awesome.

    Network's on OVH BHS and performs as expected. Can't be sure if they run these nodes on RAID10, but I read that somewhere.

    I've also been on the KVM Customer's Preview and here's a bench on the small plan (2GB)

    Those I/O stats look awesome. Did you fix the bench.sh i/o display bug?

    Which location is that in? 1.78MB/s to North California seems a bit on the low side.

    It is a tad odd. Slow even to CA Linode, I'll redo a bench in a few.

    Edit: I believe the network is OVH CA.

    I'm using the version on http://bench.sh ; that never seems to have an I/O bug for me

  • alexyaoyangalexyaoyang Member

    Huh bench.sh must've fixed the I/o bug finally. Canada huh, Fremont, CA should be similar download speeds as Dallas, TX. Something weird is going on.

    Thanks for coming here Matt @SSDNodes - would KVM launch on other locations too?

    Thanked by 1alexyaoyang
  • SSDNodesSSDNodes Member, Host Rep

    Yes, we're definitely planning other locations. Montreal is first, then we'll launch in our other US locations after.

    Are these single nvme, or running raid on the back end? What level?

  • SSDNodesSSDNodes Member, Host Rep

    Hey Riz. We always use RAID, and these are RAID 1.

  • logaritselogaritse Member

    yay, i'm waiting for other exotic location

  • KenobisVPSKenobisVPS Member

    WTF the price is so steal. Looking for more reviews before getting one :D

  • balaji_pitchumanibalaji_pitchumani Member

    Can we install windows 2012/2016?

  • rahxrahx Member

    Good price indeed.
    And CA location is actually preferred from where I am (mainland China). I'll probably grab a large one while it lasts.

    Not yet! We will offer Windows soon.

  • educuryeducury Member

    I have an openvz VM with them and it's very fast and stable. They deserve a try. I recommend it.
