    you can have the iso and ask us to mount it for you
    also I am sure there is a way to boot it without iso as some of our users do it but never tried to do it

    I assume from the console you have really small window after reboot to choose to switch bot method

    The reason for that, mounting and re-ordering booting sequence, is that I tried to install from netboot.xyz way. Ubuntu v20 seemed a little weird when I did apt upgrade command yesterday (some dpkg error if I still recall that correctly). By inserting and pulling out CD-ROM I can avoid the machine rebooting into a 2nd installation stage. I tried the Console way, and the window caption embedded in the webpage/client area showed very quickly connect/disconnect to QEMU during rebooting/restart. Just couldn't catch the pace and do the input to get the menu/netboot.xyz menu.

    I also tried an alternative similar way of re-installation, failure in the beginning. Now I understand these are security measures (including the following mentioned password change, VNC issue, etc.)

    There is 2 limitations here
    1- We run internal network for the management of our servers and this network is never exposed externally for security reasons , so even if the xenserver can expose the vnc info you will not be able to reach it

    2- xenserver and xcp-ng dont expose the typical VNC with ip and port , instead they expose vnc as a url and the vnc traffic is encoded in different manner than what vnc clients can read

    Thank you, hani. I've seen the Graph/Stats part. I didn't expect I could get so detailed explanations, and so quickly.

    yes I agree we need to work more on our templates
    expect to see changes regarding them soon

    we enabled graphs for all new plans
    pwd change is disabled intentionally for security reasons , we dont want anyone who have access to the client area to be able to reset the vm password

    mounting ISO is not enables as mostly you will need to contact us to upload your iso , but we should look into it

    will ask the team to recreate the template with older kernels removed

    Hmm... plans are still available. People were making so much noise that they did not get to buy, and now they don't want to buy.

    @servarica_hani - how many plans have sold since refill? How many are still available?

    Try to make a guess.

    Before the relaunch, my fav Flying Fish can be assumed to be zero left. I placed an order, and now it shows -15/minus fifteen. The minimum number sold out is 16.

    For another hot baby bear 2T SSD offer, I can order now so there is at least one left but the remaining number is not shown at the title bar.

    I filled in the wish list before relaunch and after hani announced the relaunch, so by picking the names in the list, those who showed their true intention to buy, we may get a rough idea how many people have brought these slots away with them.

    perhaps because the torrents limitation :p

  • I noted earlier in this thread that I had some IO issues when performing various rsync operations with my storage VPS. After support moved me to another node, the problems seem to be resolved.

    This is my first experience with ServaRica, and I'm very happy with the service I've gotten.

  • Quick question: is internal traffic counted in the monthly bandwidth limits? (quota, speed cap etc.)

    Just wondering - is traffic inside the datacenter (ex: between 2 VPS) counted in the limits?

    no, only public traffic counted

    Great! All of my 2 VPSs got provisioned. Now just to wait until the custom ISO is in and I'm good-to-go.

    Here's stats from my Polar Bear (w/ the 1gbps for 4TB), not terribly familiar w/ stats, but looks pretty good to me :smiley: ... ouch, these iperf3 tests burn through quota pretty hard. ~17GB used up! I'm hoping I don't burn through 4 TB in a month, but haven't really done a good job at monitoring my current high storage server usage.
    Pretty fair option to allow super-fast for a limited rate than slow down, or if you think you will use a lot, allow a "pretty-fast" speed unlimited.

    ... the Flying Fish image seems to have gotten in a bad state after rebooting a few times. Shouldn't be an issue in the long run as I don't intend on rebooting frequently and in the short run - I intend to wipe it out anyways w/ a new image.

    Could you run your test again? You are getting speeds like on SSD, while I am stuck at low HDD speeds despite being on an SSD plan...

    Same I'm getting low speeds like this too. @servarica_hani take a look into it.

  • I've got moved into another VM and it's better, but still 4k block size score is a little bit too low I think.

    could be the problem of node as @aj_potc gained improvement while @corbpie , I and similar people are accidentally within the same node?

    Hope Flying Fish would really fly.

    Hmm... plans are still available. People were making so much noise that they did not get to buy, and now they don't want to buy.

    @servarica_hani - how many plans have sold since refill? How many are still available?

    probably because some settled with @key900 storage plans

  • I've got a Polar Bear and I think some new recent purchasers didn't get the "no torrenting" memo.

  • Plans are still available. Maybe @servarica_hani should stop all order limitations. Not good for marketing.

    I would say the opposite. This provider tries to give more people a chance, so there may be still people that need a vps like this. Great provider by stopping people to hoard

    Plans are still available. Maybe @servarica_hani should stop all order limitations. Not good for marketing.

    I would say the opposite. This provider tries to give more people a chance, so there may be still people that need a vps like this. Great provider by stopping people to hoard

    to be more precise, to give more clients a chance, not abusers. clients deserve chances of value, on the premises that abusers are deprived of such chances.

  • @harningt @vyas11 @aRNoLD @_Nic @Falzo @RedSox how are your disk speed guys? I was moved into another VM, but still I think that these speeds (especially 4k) are bad for SSD plan...

  • 6k iops are for sure not bad for shared SSD.
    while there might be hosts out there with better results, keep in mind that spinning rust would achieve something in the range of 100-300 iops max in that test (depending on raid etc), so here you get already 20-30 times that.

    also 320MB/s as max bandwidth like seen in 512k/1M is totally fine, numbers on my polar bear look comparable.

    if you want dedicated performance you need to get your own server ;-)

  • @Falzo I do understand that it is a VPS, but seeing that HDD plan have 4x more IOPS than my SSD plan is a little bit strange for me.

    then you got probably very lucky with your hdd plan. it has to be heavily cached to reach 6.5k iops, as a single harddisk is not capable of that at all 🤷‍♂️

    as said, there might be offers that reach higher IO in 4k fio, however it's a synthetic bench which heavily relies on the underlying setup - your hdd plan would be the best example for that ;-)

    PS: don't get me wrong... your servarica VPS probably is really not the fastest server around, however I wouldn't it consider bad given the price...

  • Ah, I don't have HDD plan, was taking my notes from people's benchmarks here sir.

    ah, got it... yeah as said, caching and such. polar bear afaik is ssd-cached, and as said my numbers right now look comparable to yours.

    what's your use case? as long as you don't run into a lot of iowait with your use case the benchmark numbers shouldn't matter anway.

    This is neither bad nor good. But if you ask me, I would prefer to have better 4k speed if it's SSD or NVMe.

    I have had the 8TB storage account with Servarica running Ubuntu 20 LTS now for a few days and pretty impressed. For the performance/space/price, it is excellent value. I did notice that we had a Windows server with Servarica back in 2013 and looking over old emails; we were pleased with the service, but no longer needed that server.

  • a recent performance test indicates lovely improvement as compared to my prev posting

    the network speed remains very solid, amazingly stable.

    the disk io, esp. 4k/64k greatly improved.
