    might need to contact vultr billing and ask

  • qtwrkqtwrk Member

    is it one-time promo or recurring ? or am I just expecting too much for recurring ?

  • hzrhzr Member

    60% off is recurring as long as you start it during the promo and don't end it.

    They use different servers.

    1270 v6. 32 GB RAM, and old discontinued https://ark.intel.com/products/66250/Intel-SSD-520-Series-240GB-2_5in-SATA-6Gbs-25nm-MLC

    But I've just got in Ney Jersey

    1270 v5, 64 GB RAM with https://ark.intel.com/products/86195/Intel-SSD-DC-S3510-Series-240GB-2_5in-SATA-6Gbs-16nm-MLC

    I see very poor connectivity from Vultr Ney Jersey to Hetzner.

    Could you please check on your server

    wget --output-document=/dev/null https://speed.hetzner.de/1GB.bin

    Deployed one and got and 1270v6 with Device Model: INTEL SSDSC2BB240G7

    Read speed seems lower than the S3510 which is older. Go figure.

    Endurance is rated 599 TBW vs 140 TBW thought.

    Not sure if it's worth it at $120/mo and it seems you can't add additional IPs...

    Waste of money. Only if you need a powerful cpu for a couple of days. Better to order from ovh us.

    No I'm waiting for availability to launch my second server.

    They allow only one server with free credit. When did you register? Is this promo still alive?

    Btw they detect duplicate accounts and remove free credit. So if you purged one account, clean your cookies, change browser and IP.

    The quota is available now, but it does not allow to create another one.

  • eva2000eva2000 Veteran

    They said these features are coming but as bare metal instances are relatively new they don't support it just yet.
