- NVMe SSD
- IPv4 and IPv6 /64 subnet
- IPv4 and IPv6 RDNS
- 10Gbps public and private uplinks (internal networking is included)
- Virtualizor panel
Beta plan details:
- 2 Cores
- 4 GB RAM
- 4TB Bandwidth
- 1 IPv4
- /64 IPv6
- Internal IP
What I am looking for from you:
- Report any and all problems you find either here or via ticket
- Suggestions for improvements
- Use it like you would normally

KVM!!!
Yes it has been requested for quite a long time from us.
Got one... good to see you jumping onto the KVM Bandwagon!
I hope to see good results... and good support.
A quick check does look promising... though a filled up node may not behave the same.

Any idea the approximate duration you'll be running the beta for?
There isn't a set time on it now. If we are getting lots of feedback or problems are discovered we will continue running it until everything is fixed. We are also using this as an opportunity to practice handling support for the new system.
Can you run a Geekbench test ? Thanks.
Could always run one yourself
Currently running ServerScope, will share the result when done (That includes UnixBench).
You guys really like your benchmarks. Based on the load of some of the vms 4-5 of you are doing it at the same time :P .

As promised: https://serverscope.io/trials/aYoj
Conclusion:
CPU is nothing extraordinary. Storage is definitely fast enough at 44k/13k IOPS (random, direct). Network speed is good, apart from a connection to Rogers in Vancouver - could be a problem on their end though.
Works very good.
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2 cores
Kernel and CPU Linux 3.10.0-862.3.3.el7.x86_64 on x86_64
Operating system CentOS Linux 7.5.1804
CPU load averages 0.13 (1 min) 0.13 (5 mins) 0.08 (15 mins)
Virtualmin installed smoothly and works great along with /64.
Network is fast my man. Any clues as to the launch pricing for this package?
Cool! Signed up. Woot. I'll report in after I goof around a bit with it. Thanks!
Also can I upload Arch and install that as part of my testing?
It should allow you to specify an ISO via url
Not fully certain yet but it will likely be similar to our VDR pricing. With discounts available
Functionality is present, just checking to see if it was kosher! Thank you kindly
Nice! Just signed up, going to test out FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD.
Awesome! please report back your results
I've been rather tempted to try out your VDS but I missed out on the deep discount unfortunately.
Any limitations/issues with running Windows (Desktop or Server)?
Have something to test anyway, would try that...
Thanks!
FreeBSD 11.1 running zfs-on-root works perfectly! Install using an ISO uploaded from freebsd.org went smoothly with no errors and everything looks great (including IPv6!). Really nice experience so far. I plan on testing out DragonFly BSD later on.

It is not something we will be offering a template for at this time. We may offer licensed versions in the future
Glad to hear. Please keep up the testing
Great Server:
RAM speed is average.
I am just running some nat/ipv6 containers on Centos6 openVZ.
The disk is fast, but the network seems like the biggest improvement over my other (then you) provider in Seattle. I have not found any issues in the VM or in the panel as of yet and everything seems nicely done.
Are you planning on doing this later in Dallas and NJ as well?
Yes in the future we will bring it to our dallas and NYC locations
I got the latest DragonFly BSD release running with a HAMMER2 filesystem and everything looks good.
I'm really liking the panel, it's my first time really using Virtualizor and it works well. On my first dflybsd install I messed something up because it would only get halfway through boot so I spent an hour rebooting a lot and messing with settings and it didn't break anything . I like it a lot better then SOLUSVM and the upload ISO is a killer feature for me. The network and performance are great so no complaints there.
@smile93 whats that benchmark that you ran?
curl -LsO git.io/bench.sh; chmod +x bench.sh && ./bench.sh -a
