They have done some spectacular BF and similar promo offers so those of us who have gotten them are impressed. Their regular offers are pretty good too, and are realistic and sustainable. I have 3 vps and a shared hosting plan with them right now and they are all idling like champions
.
I buy Buffalo and compare other service
Buffalo speed is slow
A comparison of my web page load times (today) for Piscataway, New Jersey (NYC-3) and Buffalo, NY (NY1 & NY2) from Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, And Frankfurt, Germany.
It just does not look that different to me.
They said to ask questions about the deals here, but there's still limited support on any of the plans listed. If you've bought one and are having problems, open a ticket. I've had to open a couple since the BF/CM sales, response times have been very reasonable given what I pay.
As for additional locations, Atlanta popped up at some point after the sale started, so I'm hoping we'll see another location added before the sale is over.
I’m looking to buy more locations. So not a support issue but a sales request to which it says not to contact sales about.
Fair enough, @VirMach has been surprisingly absent in this thread.
At this point you can make a ticket; we're not that overloaded with requests. A sys admin would be able to help you much better in a ticket than I would be able to here. Thanks.
You're kind of right on this one, it's just bad wording. Our automated credit script doesn't discriminate against specials (at this time, and there's no plans to change it) so you'll still receive that SLA guaranteed credits even though there are no guarantees.
At these prices, though, you won't get much, even though we're very generous with our credits.
Sorry about that. Happy new year. I'll be answering everything now, but we took some time off for Christmas.
IPv6 can be requested there, but it comes with no guarantees as it's still in beta. This means the IPv6 network could be unreliable.
Everything was unfortunately delayed, other than Atlanta. It was added as others mentioned.
If you're still facing this issue, please contact us and have a sys admin take a look. We can't replicate the problem.
Almost all if not all of them in Buffalo will be 3GHz, the old ones are locked out at this time. Europe will be either 3.4GHz or 2.2-2.6GHz, mostly 3.4GHz.
Flash deals will be reserved for BF, most likely.
Do we expect these to potentially become available before the end of the promotions?
Everyday come in for LA.
@VirMach no issue now, I mean I can see discounted price but total is still $45, probably will lower once I pay. Until when this deal will be available?
Anyone has a benchmark?
Chicago is being added tomorrow. Since the additional locations were delayed we will most likely keep the sale going until a couple more locations have been added.
Seattle 🙏
Thanks very much for the special deal that you offer, I have the KVM special number 3 in Buffalo, and I am very happy with it I have a lot of XML files for some of my projects that cannot go offline, I was hosting them on digitalocean but digitalocean doesn't allow enough bandwidth on low in VPS, I'm seriously thinking about getting two more even if they just idle,
are torrents allowed? private trackers, no dmcas
probably not exactly "allowed" as per: https://virmach.com/terms-conditions/#tab1
as with anywhere else would guess light use for occasionally updating your linux iso collection could fly under the radar but you may want to move on to enjoy the plentiful alternatives elsewhere which might be much better suited for that level of disk i/o etc.
Hello. Will servers be added in Europe?
You're a noob ! Get ready to make a new account @hostboo*
how about Frankfurt and San Jose ?
when will new jerk and zuffaflo would be added ?
oh right, one of those "here is X storage but you can't use it for anything that involves storage" rules that unlimited shared hosting providers used to have
torrents I can understand, but using it for image/file hosting is a valid reason for buying a plan with a lot of storage IMO
... with cpu and disk performance and willing support for that use case - might have to pay a bit more for that (or not, really ...)
I don't mind having a low-cost bare bones but generally reliable option for more-or-less cold storage. So if that rules out subsidizing more ambitious use, so be it - plenty of other good options for me to waste much time wishing it was something it isn't. If that makes any sense ... need coffee. Cheers!
May we address you as @WSS?
how many ipv6 included??
Who the heck is @WSS and why
Zero in most locations, since their provider (ColoCrossing) doesn't have native IPv6. Their support also has no ETA on when they'll ever offer IPv6. HE tunnelbroker works fine though.
troll cult spiritleader
@WSS is nigh
EDIT2:
... and why not?
Someday, when your Linux file server suddenly shits the bed or backup fails and you learn about some inode bullshit, you'll probably understand hosters not wanting a shit ton of tiny files. I think some shared hosting panels show inode usage.
Not recommended for HDD package. On SSD package, for personal use, it's usually fine. For seedboxes, it won't work out -- that would be mass file sharing and not allowed per our terms, mostly due to the constant I/O and network usage, as well as the high amount of DMCA complaints. Assuming you're not breaking copyright and seedboxing for your own small project/files, at a small level it could be fine.
I'd recommend contacting us for pre-approval if it's anything past personal use.
It might happen.
You get a certain amount of dedicated disk, but not unlimited/dedicated IOPS, nor do we advertise it as such. We do not currently have any reliable system to throttle people, so we disallow certain levels that negatively affect everyone else.
Image/file hosting sites should use SSDs for optimal performance. I've personally looked at doing a couple image hosting projects, and I wouldn't go with anything outside of a dedicated server with solid state drives.
While HDDs may be economical, it's just not good for anyone involved.
You can technically use your storage package for doing that, and if your project is small enough it's fine, but please understand that our hard drive storage packages are tailored mostly for personal and business file storage, not public file sharing.
Now, on an SSD package, I think you'll be fine as long as you're not running a Pornhub clone -- you can technically do that but for it not to be considered mass file sharing per our terms, it can't be user-submitted content that's publicly shared. If you get a dedicated server with us, you can pretty much do whatever you want (within the law.)
San Jose and Atlanta coming soon-ish. Frankfurt and Amsterdam were already there, but they're pretty much sold out now.
Seattle, Los Angeles, and Dallas are still delayed.
Yea they usually do, but that's still the fault of the (shared) hosts for selling plans as "unlimited" - although to be fair 99% of customers probably buy unlimited plans and use like 300MB anyway
but in the case of a VPS/dedi, they shouldn't have limits like that IMO
