Somewhat offtopic but I just realised you're the same company that runs https://intodns.com. I love that site! Very useful.
When it's two CPUs, I'll place an order.
When it's two CPUs, I'll place an order too.
Yup, that's us
As you know, we can do that right now.
But those are shared cores and that will overload the servers, making those two cores worth about the same like 1 core.
Another reason is that we have disabled Hyperthreading on all our servers to mitigate the Intel Xeon vulnerabilities. We're also running the latest kernel. Just best security practice in any multi-tenant environment. I hope other hosters have disabled HT, as well.
Improved security lost us about 30% of compute power.
So, will you add new specifications? Then give the corresponding purchase connection?
what is this? sloppy - configure your order system properly (first instance is not 10.00)!
Good plans, pricing, and from reputable company. But I have no use to add more server at the moment. Good luck!
Read their FAQ
By default you have to add a minimum of $10 credit. If you want to add just $5, place an order and PM me to modify the invoice.
The first package is $5 / mo, the $10 credit would last for two months.
GCP partner interesting, do any of your facilities have https://cloud.google.com/interconnect/docs/concepts/dedicated-overview
Great offering and kudos on paying attention by disabling HT and not trying to disguise a shared core as some type of redefined dedicated bullshit so common on here.
We're just a Google G Suite reseller: https://hosterion.ro/gsuite
Interesting stuff GCP Dedicated Interconnect, I'll have a look.
Nice, another hourly provider, and with openstack in some hard to get locations. Not buying more idlers right now but good to know about.
I've been using your services from 2011.
I think with recent additions of big players you can't simply offer the similar looking specs at the higher price. You can do that but don't expect someone from here would prefer you.
I'm not sure who cares about your lost computer power except yourself?
OK, thanks for info.
An offer should be clearly understandable and complete. Demand should not be required. If you want to come in biz you have to do so.
No, I'm just saying that not all vCPU cores are born equal. Same as not always each +X number (storage, RAM, vCPU etc.) makes a hosting service better.
We prefer to not throw around cores and make sure customers actually have a stable service and more compute power, even if it looks otherwise.
What big players? As far as I can see this offer is competitive with Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Lightsail, Ramnode etc.. I can't think of many established/reliable bigger players than these, of course you have your shitster OpenVZ 500+ guests per node hosts and those that throw SolusVM/WHMCS up on Hetzner/OVH and call themselves a host..
As for cores, you can have 8 if you want, your workloads will be multiplexed onto the same underlying cores, Linode at one time gave you 8 cores with their cheapest package, then realized it was a silly gimmick to play. I would like to see greater definition of vCPU but I don't see a particular problem with this offering, it's a honest..
Thank you for your business.
I guess anyone would care if the server drags or even freezes.
But I know what you mean.
Since we have some AMD EPYC-s on the way, we might reconsinder this.
Certainly a lot of people. It was very real talking point for those doing horizontal scaling on the clouds, see HackerNews discussions...
So is 1 intovps vCPU = 1 physical core?
Will it have equal compute power of 2 x threads?
Because I'm down if it's a full core power ( 2 x threads)
No, your guest is exposed 1 vCPU, your workloads will be scheduled on a underlying core, competing for other guests for CPU time. Since most workloads are not CPU bound and the hypervisor will have some fairness algorithm when there is contention this pattern works well (as used by Linode, DO, Vultr, EC2 on T[1,2,3] instances).. but if your workloads are strictly CPU bound and you require a lower bound of CPU performance then you need to look at dedicated instances (DO and Linode offer them, anything on EC2 that isn't a T series etc..)
Other things equal I prefer dealing with LET hosts to dealing with giant evil corporations. Also some nice locations are being offered, and the $5 2GB plan beats DO/Vultr/Linode/etc's plan by a lot. It's more expensive than Hetzner's but has more locations and features. I'm not sure how OVH's Public Cloud Sandbox plan (vps-ssd-1 under their public cloud umbrella) compares, but again, limited locations.
Oh Lord... @IntoVPs...
I don't know how many times your IntoDNS service helped me solve DNS problems in my early hobbyist days. I even bought a VPS from you many, many moons ago as a small "thank you" for that service back in 2010/2011. Was a good one. IntoVPS are absolutely no beginners or amateurs in the hosting game, a solid long-standing company. All the best for you guys @intovps!
OVH, Hetzner, Scaleway?
Yes, I have shitster Virmach OpenVZ $1/year which just works.
Sounds good, any plans to increase traffic as well?
@cybertech, it's not a dedicated physical CPU core.
Just checked our latest server purchases and realized we actually deploy newer and better servers then the one in the first post:
Intel® Xeon® E-2136 Processor
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134857/intel-xeon-e-2136-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz.html
So, before we disabled Hyper-Threading this would give you 12 vCPU, as seen by KVM.
Now, with HT disabled this gives 6 vCPU.
Obviously, these are shared cores so the, 1 vCPU that you get is also used by other neighbors.
The vCPU is not mapped on a HT thread anymore.
But it's the same number of VPS'es per server so you actually get less compute power when dividing it to running VPS'es.
In our observations we lost about 30% of compute power by disabling Hyper-Threading.
But we had no choice, you can't be in production with an exploitable vulnerability that can get one VPS owner into another customer's VPS.
@cybertech to clarify: you see 1 (v)CPU in your VPS, same as before disabling HT.
Thanks
@intovps thanks for explanation. Seems worth a try. $10 no big deal. Will be back after skipping 10 lunches
That's something we might do. I'm curious, are you actually doing more than 1TB/2TB or just want to be on the same side?
haha
I'm going to take a quick nap now, big match coming in less than two hours: https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2019-07-12/head_to_head_serena_and_simona.html
But keep those orders coming
, Catalin is on duty, so you can also contact support.
If you have more questions here, keep them coming, I'll be back later.
