    Hi,

    I can't tell details about our calculations. You can verify that your CPU cores are permanently usable by checking the steal time. It should by permanently (way) below 3%.

    Some users asked for storage upgrades. At these specials we can give another 50% discount on the official prices (https://php-friends.de/hilfe) :)

    Best Regards,
    Tim

    Missed this one again, I will blame my boss more. -_-

    I can transfer you mine if @PHP_Friends allows it. You'll have to pay me though ;)

    That's possible, please open a ticket, our support will guide you through the process.

    Correct. Now we can sell a few more servers due to some cancellations etc. and will reactivate the product now. But after that it's really sold out, it might last a few hours :)

    Regarding the disk performance just a short information that not every host in this generation has the same disk setup. We run 8-16 SSDs in every host; some hosts still use SATA, some newer use SAS and these are faster of course. However, away from benchmarks you should not notice any difference with real-world workload.

    P.S. Netflix works on these. At least my friend's one did

    Haha just bought it for the benchmarks eh? :D I, too, was very tempted to get it for like a month but then I resisted.

    I just couldn't resist.. :( after running the benchmarks, I have no use except for idling it (well, that is he only reason servers exist anyway. IDLING)

    Do you mean additional IP will have cost 0.75 euro? How about 5 euro set up fee?

  • Any chance these are replenished?

    Nice! So for €30/3mo (pre-VAT), one would get 140GB SSD block device.
    Seems like a nice pairing with 10G ram.

  • @PHP_Friends when is 50% off good till? I am considering it for storage unless a better offer happens after 3 months. lol

    yes reinstalled several times...only for learning...now fairly set...thin provisioning comes by default..cool...but could not do SuiteCRM on LXC template...so also installed Docker and Portainer and now playing more with all sort of things...

    Very very good machine as promised..

  • very very bitter feeling still for missing this.

    Should there be any steal if they are "dedicated cores"? So really what you've advertising is a standard VPSs with virtual undefined (in terms sharing) cores

    How did you do it? I mounted and booted from the ISO and got a command prompt on vnc.

    0,0% steal is technically impossible. You can use your cores at any time, so they are dedicated. Of course your cores are not always 1:1 pinned to the same physical cores. I think we all know that such offers are far away from those promoted on LET. The hosts would not even cover their power consumption. :D

    Ah that kind of "dedicated", I see... All makes perfect sense now.

    From the solusvm, mount the proxmox ISO, set CD-ROM as first preference for boot and then HDD, then reboot......then login to VNC, you will see the proxmox install page...this is now it worked for me. Cheers.

    as long as VTx is enabled and as long as we are not banned for using allocated CPU 100% all the time...is understood as "dedicated" i believe..

    I think I tried this but VNC still show previous OS cli. I just install Debian from template and install proxmox later. > @balaji_pitchumani said:

    This, make your VM core to 1:1 mapping and I think you will see so much idle, LET like idle tough

  • @akhfa have you tried clicking the reboot button in SolusVM (not rebooting from SSH)? That worked for me

  • So, I didn't tries proxmox , but here is how it worked (atleast in PHP_Friends case)
    How to install an OS from CD ROM:-

    1. Load/ mount an iso image.
    2. Change the Boot Order to (1) CD-ROM
    3. Reboot from Solus Panel (Without ones rebooting from Solus, rebooting from VNC/ SSH will not work)
    4. Login Via SSH you shall get the "Click any Btn to Boot From CD" message or something Similar
    5. (Optional) If you keep missing the chance in Point 4.: Now you could log in to your last installed OS and use the Restart/ reboot option, this will not close the VNC giving you ample time to do the Point 4 option.
  • I like to remind myself that I let a 7euro/m avoton dedi (online.net)with 120GB Intel SSD idle for a year.
    I couldn't decide what to do with it beyond a lab for learning and breaking proxmox (don't try stuff in production first)

    I guess I'd recommend that here too.

    I guess that if one really wants dedicated cores in the (non-virtualized) bare-metal sense, one should go for a dedi.

    Although I'm not familiar with all of the details of configuring KVMs, if one can use one's cores/threads in a KVM without restriction and they're always available and the steal time is consistently lower than (say) 3% (and VT-x is passed through), then the cores/threads are effectively "dedicated" in practice even if they aren't dedicated in the bare-metal sense.

    I really like the reply from @angstrom, thank you for being the one guy that is always calm.

    Steal btw means nothing. There are enough ways to restrict cpu usage on kvm without raising the steal count ;). Not saying that php friends is doing that, they are around for a very long time in the german market and it is really nice to see other people who live of their business.

    Edit: sorry can't disable my signature in mobile theme :(

    That's beyond my technical competence. :smile:

    Yes, indeed, and it wouldn't be good if Hetzner dominated everyone else. ... Oh, wait ... :wink:
