The Storage VPS are not really meant for media streaming, but should be OK as long as not get out of hand, and you have a bandwidth allocation limit anyways.
.
PM us please to arrange this.
We don't have Storage VPS in the FL market, but we have one older spinning disk node in FL that we can do that deal on, as we acquired it in an acquisition and it still had some space available.
.
We try and let things be, unless it gets out of hand and affects other clients.
General rule of just don't abuse the system and don't affect other clients applies, but no specific hard setting/rules.
Sometimes we'll migrate a problematic user to a different node more suitable, and balance usage out, in order to keeps things running smoothly.
Our loads are not overloaded, and we have more hardware available than we know what to do with right now...so we're a little more tolerable of usage at the moment, as we can just spread the load out as needed.
Sometime this week. Servers are ready/online in NJ, just need order/install the NVME components before we can add them into this offer pool.
We are not configured for a mix of NVME + HDD yet, but are currently working on a plan for that. We're a bit of the ways off for that though, so for now it is not an option.
.
That is correct.
Just one of our 13 current locations happens to be a ColoCrossing site.
We are also in a bunch of Psychz locations, and then the others are all just individual players local to their market.
.
We are not set up to merge Flash + Rust in one combined service at this time. That will change in upcoming months, but not quite yet.
.
Yea...the servers we are re-purposing for this flash sale are mostly in the CA, TX, & NY locations we have. We have a smaller quantity available in NJ, and we're going to put some up locally here in NV, and use up some extra space/power in IL maybe, but doubtful we'll have these available in other locations beyond that...especially the EU (due to cost to ship them there). This deal really only works for us as we have unused existing hardware from a large cancellation we are re-purposing...
.
Yes, our Wolverhampton UK location is in the VeloxServ DC.
Been with them for many many years, and they have always been rock solid for us.
.
Los Angeles is probably most suitable for Asia, but a handful of clients like the Las Vegas site as an alternative.
Depending on routes though to specific clients, once in awhile Texas or the UK seems to do well for that as well, but that is not the norm.
.
In the pictures, your DC locations look prettier than the CC one. Cheers.
Mine LAX location is blocked by AT&T, I can't do a speedtest or ping their servers
@SmartHost
Not really sure what you mean by that.
Please open a ticket and we will gladly assist you.

Nevermind it's working ok(but not as it should) now, I think it was AT&T problem
Picked 1 up in Texas! I really love Smarthost, great performance/specs and Shawn is amazing.
Thank you so much...I try! ;-)

In response to most common questions so far:
.
Hi, I do not find Windows templates on node207 LA.
could you add that please, thank you
These are not Windows VPS packages being offered in this flash sale, and we supply Linux templates only. However, we do have Windows ISOs uploaded, so you can install and license yourself.
.
Grabbed one in Dallas... installed Deb 10, Looks good so far but will test it through for a few days before putting in production use.
Thanks @SmartHost for a good deal.
Hi
LA still has bad(long) connection with ATT customers or at least with their servers
hi @SpeedTest - for this kind of thing it might help to do an
mtrto and from your server and your att endpoint - and open a ticket with the results, in case the provider may be inclined to change the routing (sometimes it's possible, other times not so much)We do not connect to AT&T, nor peer with AT&T, directly at that location, so issues with them are well outside our network. This really has nothing to do with us. If anything, AT&T has some overloaded circuits/peering in the LA market, with some upstream carriers.
.
AFAIK there is an NSA data vacuum installed at a number of AT&T sites which may explain that anomaly also. Both are outside of the control of @SmartHost to the best of my knowledge.
Actually I don't care, I use Cloudflare. But some of your customers might do, so it's better to investigate what's is going on
Edited:
Maybe it would still be worth working with the customer in a ticket even if you don't believe it is your direct issue. If they haven't opened one to you, maybe offer to open one to them and see if there is anything that can be done? Telling them, "This isn't our problem", seems an awful lot like passing the buck on this.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
I’ll copy the words of sir @FHR ,
Speedtest shouldn’t really be used in the first place. Trace route isn’t even possible. Psychz doesn’t even peer with them.
I will give you this, there was more conversation I didn't see originally. At the time, it seemed off to me that it wasn't suggested to open a ticket and then work with the customer in that way. The way that statement was made, to me (I will grant maybe I interpreted intent differently than intended), sounded a lot like they were just passing the buck.
I see, now, above that they did mention to open a ticket. So for that aspect of my comment I do apologize as I think in my quick reading originally I had missed that:
Though thanks @muffin for making me re-read things again. I will blame it on my lack of coffee at the time of writing, even if it is an excuse.
Cheers!
+1 for interest in this plan.
