STORAGE KVM - USA - €13.00 p/year - Unmetered Inbound bandwidth

AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

Hi Folks,

A few people have asked for these in Phoenix as well after they picked up and sold out in the UK in the end.

So here they are, the smaller Storage plans:

  • 1 CPU Core (1/2 core dedicated)
  • 1 GB Ram
  • 200 GB Disk space
  • 1 TB Bandwidth @ 1 gbit (shared - unmetered inbound)
  • 1 IPv4 address

€6.25 p/Quarter(3 months)
Order Link: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=205

  • 1 CPU Core (fair share none dedicated)
  • 512 MB Ram
  • 100 GB Disk space
  • 500 GB Bandwidth @ 1 gbit (shared - unmetered inbound)
  • 1 IPv4 address

€13.00 p/Year
Order Link: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=206

Just a reminder, the primary use is intended to be storage, you are welcome to run anything else you want (within reason) such as nextcloud etc but do not expect SSD or even regular level disk IO.

The RAID level is 5.

Disk results currently on the array:

hdparm -tT /dev/md128

/dev/md128:
Timing cached reads: 12260 MB in 1.99 seconds = 6151.47 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 834 MB in 3.03 seconds = 275.09 MB/sec

    Pretty tempting to get a twin brother for my UK one^^

  • can you install windows server 2016 on this service? €6.25 p/Quarter(3 months)

    It meets the minimum requirements for 2016 but I can’t imagine it would be a fun experience and I am not sure how you would limit the cpu to half a core.

    After the 10th probably

  • Hello, your plan is in line with my appetite. Is this the UK data center?
    I may need it to back up my web and mysql data in various data centers around the world, upload it via ftp, I see that the upload traffic is not limited. Can the storage drive be purchased in the future?
    Do you need the cumbersome account activation process of ovh?

    As long as it's better than a storage VPS I tried at another provider where reads benchmarked at an amazing 0.58 MB/s, 147 IOPS (lol)

      read : io=35580KB, bw=605425B/s, iops=147, runt= 60179msec
    

    I'm sure yours is better, for sure.

    What brand/model hard drives do you use on the server?

    147 iops is FINE for a raid5 hdd array especially if you are testing 4k block size.

    Awesome, but my 4 cores, 6gb ram, 100gb HDD and 4tb bandwidth for $21/y are performing incredible to change it :smiley:

    That particular provider was slow to the point it was unusable. apt update took minutes after downloading the repository indices to actually persist them to disk. Installing Debian packages took maybe 30 seconds per package, and maybe 10+ minutes to do updates (vs. on other providers where you can install dozens of packages in a few seconds). Backups with borg were ridiculously slow. First time I've gotten a refund for a VPS service. Ended up switching to a different provider that also uses RAID5 with HDDs but their IO performance is significantly better.

    You have a good appetite sir!

    This offer is for phoenix USA, more stock may be added after maintenance in the UK on the 10th.

    It is perfect for backups, I am not sure I would suggest ftp though generally :)

    You can upgrade your package at any time yes.

    Currently orders from Brazil and China are blocked, orders are not accepted if you are connected to a VPN or proxy.

    Raid sync's occur on a sunday where the raw IOPS are impacted but you should have no issue uploading or downloading data at the full link speed (gbit) at any time (latency allowing).

    Sounds like you got an NL OpenVZ black Friday deal. :)

    .@AnthonySmith - with regard to the 200 GB "1/2 core dedicated" deal - I'm wondering how well it might tolerate sustained operations such as encrypting a large file (ie 50 to 100 GB, which might take something like an hour or so with 1/2 core dedicated to the task.)

    I assume it would be more or less okay to let the dedicated 1/2 core grind away as long as it takes but the concern would be more about sustained disk i/o (double duty as it would be reading as well as writing) having an impact on the performance of the node.

    Just curious to know the limits for appropriate use of this system (I do have some other options probably more appropriate for this quasi-storage-related task)

    Sounds like the last VPS you would want to use for that to me if I am being honest.

    If you planned that sort of work load I imagine spinning SATA disks in raid 5 would be the last choice would it not?

    alrighty then, thanks for the clue :)

    Can we get IPv6 on the Phoenix systems?

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    skorous said: Can we get IPv6 available on the Phoenix systems?

    I would recommend just using an he.net tunnel, ioflood has no native IPv6.

  • skorousskorous Member

    Ah, ok. Thanks.
