When are you opening your data center on Luna?
Our rockets launch soon:
Will you be using your own fiber, or will you be leasing?
FIBRE TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Services will not have external connectivity. Our Luna datacenter is geared towards customers who want to be able to say "I have a VM on the moon", not for customers who actually need to interact with the VM.
That said, eventually we aim to take advantage of the cheap cooling costs on the moon to cater to customers with high compute demands. For data import/export, we will launch weekly rockets between our Toronto and Luna datacenters; customers will be able to schedule data transfers directly from the control panel. Although the cost of the rockets will be larger than the savings on cooling at first, our accountants estimate that it will only take a couple hundred years for us to achieve the scale needed for profitability.
At some point, once we have daily rockets, I think we will integrate all of this into the networking stack. So when you send a packet, it will get queued on the next rocket launch. (Similar to AWS Snowball, this is more scalable/economical than using radio or deploying fiber.) Some software adjustments will be needed though, e.g. very large TCP timeout.
Just turn on VPN or you check-in by passports?
or could just not fraudulently try to steal from a known good provider
"a credit card validation step is required"
If you have credit card in U.S. or in Canada then you could get the promotion. It is limited to minimize risk of fraud, sorry.
On these pages, you'll find grifters on both sides of the transaction. In your case, you're doing the only reasonable thing.
It is just fair use so everyone would be equal.
From my experience running multiple job boards, western union scams (employment in the usa for money) are made by us residents (probably, temporary). If you dig deeper, you will see a plenty of scammers from the us, huh, and of course canada (sadly my compatriots, but anyway, just google).
In other words, I see no reason why other countries are more scammy than the us or canada.
(sorry can't press shift, just hit a hand on boxing
)
Great provider - stable network and super fast vps instances.
Some implement check out and face control should to be fine.
It is not about where scammers live, it is about the countries where scammers more often have stolen credit cards.
Sorry but we do not plan on requiring customers to cut off their face and mail to us.
[Luna Node Sales #8236] ignored ?
i have a strong feeling i should have been provided with a valid reason on the service suspension. since you failed to do this on time i am politely asking you why. why am i unable to access my customer panel and deployed instances and which particular clause in tos did i violate?
