  • Is this plan now able to download files at full speed?

    For example, download a 100G file to a VPS and keep it above 100MB/s.

  • Amazing offer for the storage ! Had to take it ofc : )

    btw @key900 your signup doesnt allow "š" in the address, it says its empty if you try to put in such address.

    Better than 2checkout as they don't allow spaces between name.

    @ssjoy This subject manner has been discussed 100 times here on LET. A providers offer thread is not the place to discuss this really. If you feel like you need to be a social justice warrior then please create a thread for the 101 time. Really anymore mentions on discrimination or racism I will just ban you for a couple days.

    BTW for anyone who just picked one of these up and are attaching the 3TB disk as a single partition, you must convert the partitioning table to GPT first (instead of DOS) before you create the partition.

    It's the g option immediately after calling fdisk /dev/vdb. After that you'll be able to create the full 3TB partition. If you don't do this, you'll be limited to 2TB.

    Edit: @key900, perhaps put this little tidbit to your "How to Add a New Disk..." guide on your site :)

    Don't use caron letters, write "sh" like normal people do.
    Or move house from Benešov to Příbram, then try registering again.

    Just making sure I'm understanding you, why put a partition table on it at all? Just toss an LVM signature on it and go....?

    There may well be reasons to do it but if you just do a pvcreate /dev/vdb, vgcreate [name] /dev/vdb then you can do lvcreate's out of that pool. Bonus being if you make the disk bigger later you don't have to do anything scary like deleting the partition table to use the extra space.

    EDIT: I can't type. /dev/vdb

    Not sure if you noticed this, but they have made it so you can no longer order the SYSARM servers anymore. So, when you cancel, be sure your done with it as it will be gone for good. I am not sure their policy about transfer but may be worth doing that instead of canceling so someone else gets a go at cheap storage.

    my 2 cents.

    Cheers!

    Sorry mate I only just saw this after skimming back over the thread. I agree 100% that cancelling it would be silly. In fact, my plan was to eventually offer it up to someone in the community so that it can stay "in circulation", so to speak. :)

    @key900 I am so happy with this server so far, I would like to purchase another one to combine into a single VPS. Is this possible?

    EDIT: Shit, sorry about the double post there.. :/

    True story. That's most likely a ticket-to-fix job :)

  • Just ordered a 8GB RAM with 10Gbps :)

    Try going to Upgrade/Downgrade options and change 'Additional Disks Space Block Storage UP to 400MB/s' to 3TB thingy
