Aruba Changes: DC4(FR) and DC5(DE) now at 1€
It seems Aruba changes prices again. DC1(IT) and DC3(CZ) no longer have that 1€ price, but now DC4(FR) and DC5(DE) have it.
"The price of 1€ per month is only valid for deployments made for data center DC4/FR1 or DC5/DE1. New deployments made for data center DC1/IT1, DC2/IT2, DC3/CZ1, DC6/UK1 or DC8/PL1 will be priced at €2,79/month."

wtf this this company up to
Can someone that signs up for the new FR/DE boxes do a
Came across the reduced Germany and France prices yesterday when I was debating about one of WSS's servers. The very recent email from Aruba had said that IT1 and CZ1 where going to be the 1€ servers, not FR and DE.
As I've a Online.net box in France I haven't picked up a french server, but I did grab a Germany one.
From a German server ...
Ping time to it is basically the same as to a VirMach server in Amsterdam; between 25-30ms. (I'm in Germany, near Hamburg. Was hoping it would be a mite closer)
@tarasis do you have any speedtest (network, disk...)?
Will this do @magicvpn

cheaper than online.net additional ips
Aruba 1 Eur boxes rock, hands down winning most other LE 1 GB offers priced at least 3x more.
Sure, there are drawbacks with it, but I am not bothered as long as it is cheap and they dont do anything illegal or immoral anymore.
Must resist..

I'm beginning to wonder whether the moment has come for me to try out Aruba.
By the way, no custom ISOs, right? Do they offer any ISOs at all, or only templates?
Only templates, they even have windows ones, but do not apply to this one.
Custom ISO at this price, I mean, come on...
But, seriously, try it, dont bother with support and you will be fine (once you understand how their panels work, I still dont know which is which and i never remember passwords, but they send SMS so you are good to go).
Does anyone know if you can use gPXE/iPXE during boot?
(so you can install whatever you want)
Their new control panel is way better than the older one. Aruba getting serious in VPS market.
Note : They dont support rDNS on a small plan. But Qulity seems good.Sorry for confusion. They support rDNS on a small plan.
They do on IPv4 but not on IPv6.
I have an rDNS Entry on one of the 1€ Server running.
They do support rDNS but only for IPv4.
So rDNS for IPv4 but not for IPv6? What would be the rationale behind this?
Laziness and/or incompetence.
IPv6, a 20-y-old technology, is still terra incognita to many companies. A few of them have reluctantly started implementing it in recent years, and very very few have done it correctly/satisfactorily (hence your answer is: because they don't give a f*ck).
Aruba isn't one of them.
!!!SCAM!!!
Website says E5-2650L v4 but acutally it's v3 :^)
Are you sure? I have two small vpses. The control panel shows Not available about rDNS.
Under "Public IP" > "Details" > tab "Edit / Manage record"
edit: fixed, was writing from memory
Pout! and there my German one only has 1.8GHz. My UK one is 2.4GHz
Wow. Thanks. I missed it. Apology for confusion.
A bit old news, the dc pricing was changed between November 24-25.
Saw the old pricing on November 24 (GMT) at credit deposit, the locations changed on November 25 when I went to deploy.
I saw it yesterday. Nobody else posted it to inform LET community, so I thought this to be somewhat important news. Please forgive me if you feel offended because I acted way too slow, I'm just a human after all.
Relax, no offense taken. I thought the fans already knew and the change swallowed by the Cest Pit during the Thanksgiving weekend chaos. Just narrowing down the time when the change happened.
I am an aruba fan and had no idea, but again, I dread the moments when I have to login and do anything in there.
