So, this means price upgrade?
No, will likely continue our old "cloud" offer, meaning you get the resources and can create VMs out of them, but with local storage, some kind of a solus reseller account. It will obviously not have fail-over, but HA is possible.
I've got to be honest, this service is mint. I've got an OverZold for RDP, but frankly I use it for a few hours a month and it's idle the rest of the time, and I never come close to using the disk or B/W. Now I can spin up a VPS when I need it, get my work done and spin it down again. Absolutely brilliant.
Now anyone wants to do this in the UK or NY, I'll be your bitch.
With IWStack one week, excellent service, panel and network, couple times reloaded different OS, different web servers, Percona, MySQL, EHCP, two complete websites ~ 6k PHP files.Works like a Charm. 1+ for Prometeus iwStack brand.

///// omg save draft not working, preview too - can you just leave coding as is and pay someone who know how to sort-out coding mess jbiloh ///
back to iwStack
BTW paypal accept cc only from selected country list (190 of them)
@prometeus Can you make the starting funds amount smaller than €30 because I want to try the service or even make it pay as you go by charging credit card (as DigitalOcean do)
Thanks for the good words
Charging the card is a tricky issue. If the account is hacked or the user has no idea what is doing and keep starting instances without deleting the old, the bill might be big and we do not want to go that way, many people are afraid of that model as shown in the LEB listing.
We also have only paypal for now.
As for the lower starting fee, it is only 15 for existing customers, we need to reduce abuse because if the IPs become dirty will be very hard to control and remove the ones affected by abusers. Also, with the promo, it is further lowered to 10.5 Eur and the 30 Eur for new customers is actually only 21, so, not such a mountain of money.
@Rami, Their services are good, infact I jst love it. Your credits would not go waste.
if you're in EU you can do a bank transfer... :-)
As a personal enemy of paypal's ways, I am sorry to force anyone to open an account, however, business is business and has nothing to do with one's preferences past some point.
We were trying a few in the past month, but it did not turn out well, at least not yet. Since we will be extremely busy with iwstack as well as some other plans (secret for now), it is unlikely we will be able to take care of the payment processors problem too.
bank transfer is available on checkout, IBAN/bank info are on the invoice, of course it require the time of the transfer for the setup (I suggest to open a ticket after 24H with a stamp of the receipt from the bank so Daniela know she have to check and it speedup the manual payment logging)
The only negative with this is that I'm gonna have to cancel stuff from other good providers (and prometeus non-cloud as well
Fantastic stuff this.
We were counting on it. This is one reason why we didnt put more servers of the other type of VPSes. Soon there will be another reason for cancellations and we will finally start having stock.
Well, that's the problem with interesting new offers. Personally, I prefer long-term relationship, but when really interesting and reliable new offer appears, it's simply, at times, impossible to resist.
Well, almost impossible. My personal experience with iwStack is strictly Positive. Looks like Italy becomes one of countries I definitely admire for its providers, as well.
Honestly, not having stock is a problem in itself. Every day there are people opening tickets in iperweb.com asking if we are not going away by any chance or telling us there is a problem with the site and the offers are not displaying in browser x or y.
So, being able to have stock due to people migrating to iwstack or another reason soon, will be solving a problem. This migration was totally expected, if you remember this offer encourages current customers especially to migrate, it is some kind of taking the service to a new level where the entry bar for new customers is higher, however, they will soon be able to get LEBs again and build a history.
I promised some benchmark if nobody puts them in LEB and forgot about that:
This is for the lowest instance.
Very slow speed for asia. But your KVM can give around 3Mbps... any thing wrong with the route for the cloud.
Well, it depends which asia, tokyo is within the norm, about 3-4 MB is usual, about singapore, I dont know, at times SJ gives that low result, must be some softlayer weirdness.
This is one of my benchmark running in the 512MB iwstack
And the SB for the lowest instance:

only paypal ? bad.
Hm i have seen high downtime in the last evenings, my nagios reported entire connectivity loss, known issue?
this evening for 15 minutes there was some weird routing of one of our subnet with level3, other than this I'm not aware of any loss (at least none of our external monitoring noticed it)...
My ping monitoring the same, last night, it might have been a route failure some place, but I checked when it was supposed to be down, and it was working, at least to a few places.
yea i could login as well from UPC Austria (AS6830) but my server from EDIS (AS57169) had connectivity issues
Is the discount for existing customers still there? I never got any coupon
There is no discount per existing customer, never was. The discount applied to everyone, the only difference was that existing customers benefited from a lower minimum deposit as it was unlikely they will start abusing out of a sudden.
It is now on a case by case basis.
You can open a ticket for a discount
The discount is expired it seems from their offer email:
Yes,the introductory one, however, we still have another IWSTACK20 until the end of this month.
