    top show "KiB Mem : 1015428" == 991M

    In my VPS, top shows:

    KiB Mem : 1015796 total

    which is == 1040 MB (== 1,04 GB)

    @Freelogic

    1015428 KiB == 1039 MB (== 1,03 GB)

    Here's mine.

    MiB Mem :    987.2 total,    727.2 free,     65.4 used,    194.5 buff/cache

    Right: 987.2 MiB == 1034 MB == 1.03 GB

    It's all good :smile:

    Probably best to address this in a support ticket as it's more suited, but what is the specific error? The link seems to work for me in Chrome.

    @angstrom said:
    @freerangecloud

    The link https://manager.freerangecloud.com/Documents/Guide-Re-Install.Console.pdf gives a warning about the certificate

    (The plain http version of this link works)

    It's fine on Chrome but not FF.

    I'm on FF.

    According to FF, the problem is that the certificate is valid for the domain www.manager.freerangecloud.com but not for the domain manager.freerangecloud.com

    Which means that https://www.manager.freerangecloud.com/Documents/Guide-Re-Install.Console.pdf works on FF

    Correcto! :)

    @freerangecloud

    The only reason that I mentioned this is because the link given in the email "New VPS Created" is https://manager[...] and not https://www.manager[...], and FF doesn't like the former because the certificate isn't valid for https://manager[...]

    (Sorry, perhaps I should have opened a ticket about this, but I thought that there were probably others reading this thread who were puzzled by the certificate issue on FF. Anyway, this is the diagnosis of the problem)

    Hmm, all the tests (and I, too) come from 1M = 1024K, etc. I bought VDS from other providers, they are also considered based on this formula (1M = 1024K). As I understand it, this is such an element of marketing :(

    No like my dealz sir :(

    maybe more then
    "CPU: 100%
    Mem: 1G
    Entry Processors: 30
    I/O: 10MB/s
    " :)?

    Depends what you need?

    For know to host game server site + game panel

    Just the panel and site? Connecting to a server with the games on I'm guessing?

    Kind of. It is just for the developers

    I'm not sure what you mean by "an element of marketing"

    This VPS is advertised as having 1024MB RAM, and this is what you received (me too, and @thedp too)

    By the way, the formula "1MB = 1024KB" is incorrect because 1MB = 1000KB; but it's true that 1MiB = 1024KiB . Misunderstandings can arise if one simply writes "1M" (or "1024K") because it's not always clear whether MB or MiB (or KB or KiB) is intended

    those old enough, will understand 1MB = 1024KB. MiB is just some stupid bs for people not getting a grip of a binary system. at least windows still understands :-P

    maybe ask M.Welsh & L.Kaufmann what they'd consider 4MB of RAM ;-) ;-)

    @Freelogic yes marketing bs, introduced in '98. came in handy to f*ck people over capacities ever since then.

    @thedp,
    Do you really think that I cannot divide the number of RAM bytes in VDS by 1,000,000? I just bought VDS from other providers, and there the offers were based on the "1024x" formula. Which seems more honest to me. They could also be divided into "1000x" and promoted by higher digits.

    @Falzo, I'm definitely old enough to remember those days :smiley:

    I was just trying to defend @freerangecloud , because they didn't say anything incorrect. Indeed, by the "old reasoning", just as 1MB = 1024KB, we used to say that 1GB = 1024MB. @freerangecloud said that this VPS has 1024MB, which is indeed what it has.

    But I can also sympathize with @Freelogic's reaction. Here's a Geekbench of this VPS that I did a couple of hours ago:

    https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15093695 (a decent score, by the way!)

    Geekbench says that the memory is "991 MB" -- what a disappointment! What happened?! Well, technically, this is 991 MiB, which is indeed == 1024MB == 1GB.

    yeah, that's why no one ever cared to finally make a byte ten bit instead of only eight. I mean we don't want to suddenly give out more instead of less, right? :-D

    actually it was IEC who introduced Kibi and Mebi as prefixex for factor 2^10 in 1998 afaik. while the intention to seperate it from kilo/mega prefixes some might consider an... idea... it IMHO it was a poor approach to regulate stuff that was totally unneccessary.

    as we can clearly see 22 years later it only adds more to the confusion and is still not really accepted as a standard. that's about the same as with starting to eradicate genderized language. so much crap as outcome...

    I may not be quite so pessimistic as you about the terminology. :smile: After all, these things take time. It's a matter of educating ordinary people/users about these two different standards. But I think that there's much more awareness of this difference now than there was back in 1996 when the second edition of Welsh & Kaufman appeared. :smile:

    (I've just checked: as far as I can tell, Welsh & Kaufman 1996 say nothing about the difference between megabyte and mebibyte -- also nothing about the conceptual/technical difference between these two notions.)

    Hey @zhujiwiki we don't currently have nodes in LA. Our servers are based out of Ogden, UT, a bit north of Salt Lake City. You can find some network benchmarks in our latest offer thread here if you're interested. Let me know if you have any questions or have any specific requirements and I'd be more than happy to figure it out with you!
