    Mic-hael said: Get a .com domain for $6.99/year recurring if you have atleast 1 other service

    Does that apply if I have another domain? And does it apply for transfers?

    Another domain counts but this deal won't include transfers, sorry!

    If someone has managed to run something useful on a virmach flash server I'd love to hear about it. I have a small 512mb that was $6 or something, it's barely holding up a simple secondary DNS server lol

    Stop running a Plex instance full of K-Pop vidz on it, then!! :lol:

    Haha I assure you my man, that this guy doesn't do K-Pop. Slipknot vids for me lol

    Gotta admit though, never really had a thing for asian girls like other white guys do, but some of those girls are cute ;)

    Thanks for the offer, one Question:
    Will the VAT be adjusted as a credit in the final invoice? I still see 12 Eur + VAT in the shopping cart after I add my country / address

    Thanks

    (Edit: This is for non-EU Address, also highlighted by @gleert in their response below)

    Yes, as long as it's a non EU address.

    For what it's worth, I have two relatively beefy VirMach VPSes from last year's Black Friday sales that I just renewed for another year:

    • $74.85/year: 4 vcores at 3GHz, 10 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, 4000 GB monthly transfer on 10 Gb/s network
    • $39.69/year: 4 vcores at 3GHz, 8 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD, 3000 GB monthly transfer on 10 Gb/s network

    Both use E5-2690 v2 processors, and both are in Buffalo.

    I'm using the one with 10 GB RAM as a Jenkins build server and a Prometheus/Grafana server for monitoring: Scraping metrics from Netdata once per minute from ~10 other VPSes, and tracking ping times every minute. I've got the 8 GB one configured as a hot standby for my DNS servers too (MySQL + PowerDNS) and a Jenkins build agent. All working fine for me and I haven't had any issues. The only thing I dislike is that it's on ColoCrossing's network and does not have native IPv6, so I have to use HE.NET IPv6 tunnels. Oh well.

    I wasn't sure how much RAM Prometheus would use... Turns out I'm not even using 4 GB out of the 10 GB. I was going to consolidate everything onto the cheaper VPS but haven't had time to, so just renewed everything for another year and figure I'll sort it out next year some time.

    Word to the wise.. the "Double Up!" promo applies to the flash sales too... https://hostdochost.i.ng/pricing/#1561004786329-247546d1-f052

    Make sure you put "Double Up!" in the order notes. That's vital.

    Just to be clear, will the double up offer work for orders placed right now, or tomorrow?

    Right now, don't delay or you'll miss out.

    Edit: I'd better elaborate. HostDoc is based in the UK and as of this moment it's very early Monday morning. There can't be too many places in the world where it's not Monday yet, right? :-)

    That's a tempting deal, but Virmach's CPU policy is too strict for anything but idling from what I've seen. Would make a nice idler though lol

    I can't think of any meaningful application you could run with an extremely throttled CPU core and a ton of free, available memory. I've been trying to figure out a usage for these higher RAM/CPU VPSes, and can't come up with anything but a Zimbra/Groupware stack of some sort.

    There's virtually nothing useful you could use it for. I'd be worried that even an apt update would be "abusive". The RAM would almost certainly be oversold too, so it wouldn't really be suitable for a database (especially with CPU limits)

    If someone has managed to run something useful on a virmach flash server I'd love to hear about it. I have a small 512mb that was $6 or something, it's barely holding up a simple secondary DNS server lol

    I don't know what you're doing wrong, but a wireguard pihole work nicely on 512MB and 1 core.

    If your cheap deal can be transferred to west Coast US, I'd take it off your hands.

    APNSCP/ApisCP hosting platform lifetime licenses on sale for $99 through Monday. APNSCP is a platform built to be as close to set-it-and-forget-it as design allows with periodic integrity scrubs, per-account isolation, resource enforcement, and multi-user. APNSCP is built by a firm that has specialized in shared hosting for over 17 years. This will be the last time lifetimes go on sale for under $100, enjoy!

    Monthlies arrive December 15 for $15/month. New edge update now reports PHP-FPM pool status + cache efficiency. v3.1.11 will be out later this week.

    I want to say that I've sent a bunch of managed clients over to apis and they're competent, and apnscp is amazing.

    I'm actually doing that on some Mikho 128M NAT boxes and using a 768M Virmach box as a load-balancer/DoH proxy in front of them.

    I only have pihole installed, it does work fine. Maybe I'm fussy but it just feels sluggish compared to similar specs elsewhere. For the price, I'm not complaining.. it works, just.. maybe I have a bad apple perhaps. It's in LA actually, was the motivation for getting it lol

    I have it on 512mb storage KVMs too.
