buyvm.net Review

I'd like to give some compliments to buyvm.net service. The service offers ALOT of value for money when looking up the site, and they do deliver.
Pro's after having the service for a month:
- Managed support is free, and quite helpful.
- Quick response times and friendly.
- Service never been down.
- Really good value for money.
- They have been up for a long time already, since 2012. That means they can be trusted more then companys that just exists for months/1 or 2 years.
- DDOS protection for just 3 usd/month extra.
Negatives:
- I am still a bit untrustful towards the "unmetered bandwidth" they offer. That doesn't really exist anywhere else.

Nice viral ad.
@Francisco Too bad Luxembourg is out of stock right now for my needs.
You can always trust the Fran. At the end of the day, there will probably never be anyone I'd trust more.
Fran is amazing! All hail the Fran!
Thanks for the kind words!
Francisco
@Francsisco where's my free managed support?
Are you even a customer?
Francisco
Careful what you ask for.
something something cunts something something?
Francisco
Possibly.
Good to here @Francisco, we will surely ask our clients to consider your service.
+1 to this, been on BuyVM for years. A+ from me.
I have a few services with them.. Been thinking of acquiring a bigger slice but really wish they offered dedicated servers and server management for all my other servers. (Im a lazy fuck who distrust most companies to do this but like Franny) Im thankful for the Pony Porn but really wonder what the roadmap looks like for 2018? @Francisco
Block storage
Francisco
Care to expand on this? Cause I'm considering a 1-2tb KVM right now pre-paid 1-3 years if needed. Essentially just cold storage.
Come the new year we'll be (hopefully) put out block storage in the $5/TB/month ball park.
Attach it to any slice (LV to start).
Francisco
..and setting up that Vultr instance to backup rsyncnet suddenly seems less important.
It won't be pure SSD, it'll be cached.
Vultr, DO, Linode, will all have better performing storage, so if you need super high iops, it's a better pick.
Francisco
I don't need that many inodes. I'm not Nekki with odd 5k GRASP files outta 1993 from Rusty-n-Eddies'. I just have a some dotfiles, $HOME, and dev.
What an honest and modest man.
It makes sense. We're not aiming (at least with this initial) for pure SSD/NVME based. The initial is heavily SSD cached, and maybe in the future we'll put together an array that's pure flash based, but for now I think this'll be fun.
Francisco
That should've been iops, sorry.
Francisco
I kind of figured that, but I decide to roll with it.
as long as you dont super limit IOPS I'll take 1-2 on different node
How about b/w?
I'd like to be around 100 iops and upwards of 100MB/sec for throughput. I'll do a public beta for a few months to figure out where things sit with users plowing through TB's and such and go from there. I'd like to get at least 1-2PB online though.
We have to get benchmarking done on the proposed platform and see where it puts us. It's a big buy and since it's new territory i'm a bit antsy.
Francisco
Fair enough, cant wait for that offer
I may try to get a small cluster together in the next month or so, that way I can get an idea of how it'll perform for us. I'd give a free 2GB slice + the storage for a few months for people to slam and get me status reports on.
That interest you?
Francisco
Okay I'm in
Add me to the beta list.
