Hmm, refresh? If you still see it, PM me what were you doing when you got the error.

The portal is working, it's not a general issue.

What are your CPU fair use-policies? When do you limit users and how much or long can you burst?

Thanks! Looking glass not available right. It will be ready next week.

We don't limit CPU usge by default.
You can reach maximum core power. You'll be with other users as well on that core, based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler

Considering that we have 24 physical cores here you have quite some power available.

If the whole physical node becomes overloaded, we might intervene and set some limits on heavy users.

Excellent news @intovps, congratulations.
Your hardware setup is incredible, well done!

BTW, you might want to update the cPanel license pricing?

Cheers!

Yes, we're updating pricing cPanel this month. In the meanwhile that $13 price is still available, paid monthly

Traffic over-usage costs $0.02 per GB.

So, it's not automatically suspend the vm?

Oh, yeah.

If you're in Europe (or UK, not sure if that .. still ... counts as .. Europe .. now) there are plenty of cheap Wizzair flights to Cluj and plenty of reasons to visit.

Not bad at all. 1.8MB/s sustained to both my cable Isp and 4G modem in Kerala, India.

I'll check out transit hops when I get to a real Linux machine.

A pet peeve of mine is how most hosts' larger ram plans choose not to pass on the savings, from not having to scale up included IPV4.

It would be nice to see an 8GB plan that costs:
(4 * 2GB_KVM)- costOf(3*IPv4)

We're suckers for high RAM idlers like php-friends.de specials.

Edit: I only saw the new location discount now. Good deal considering included DA.

Or you can look at it the other way: larger plans are the ones where a hoster is not losing money.

In other words at a lot of retailers, the lowest cost item is a "loss leader" to "get the customer in the door" so they eventually buy stuff that costs more and makes more money for the company.
