@hosthatch I was under impression that only CHI will be available for 2T... b4 seeing other locations, I ordered/ paid Chi 2T.. Is it by any chance possible to put a ticket to get it provisioned for AMS/ STO?

+1 . same here. Europe has much better latency for me but that wasn't an option before.

Same here but hey, flash sales are final :P

agree. might be annoying, but that's what the flash sales are about. you hit the order button KNOWING that the next moment it can easier be gone or something else/better can pop up...

I pulled the trigger on the 2TB chicago last flash sale already. maybe I'd preferred EU as well - however it's what it is and I am happy about the cheap 2TB anyway. my backups don't care much about a bit additional latency ;-)

No, but your restores do.

Bandwidth, sure, but latency? Why?

Do any of you use your VPS to backup key files your (larger) NAS? If you do, what set up do you find works well?

Not 100% sure what you mean. But I use borgbackup for backing up my Servers. Works well, not much to setting it up.

+1. I use borgbackup to back up my VPSes, and backupninja to handle configuration and scheduling of the backups. It works very well.

Yeah, I'm looking at backing up some of the more important files from a Synology NAS to a couple VPS and would want them encrypted and (preferably) versioned with support for incremental backup. Are there any guides you would recommend for borgbackup or backupninja?

I don't know a lot about NAS stuff, sorry. It looks like there's a Borg package for Synology here: https://synocommunity.com/package/borgbackup but I've never used it so am not sure how to configure it

For backups from a Linux system, install the backupninja package then read the manpages and/or run ninjahelper

Is that confirmed? If not, I assume a sshfs mount is the easiest approach.

You guys have changed my mind. Thanks, I guess... Got the 10TB one from the second bunch.

Definitely. Different data centers at a minimum, but ideally different hosts too (in case the host disappears and takes all their servers with them)

@eoamk said: Assume NFS is ou

Never ever run NFS over the public internet, however it's safe to use over a VPN (eg. you can use a WireGuard VPN between the two servers) as the VPN provides encryption as well as authentication of the other server using its private key (and thus you can rely on the source IP for authorization)

Seems to be the case based on what hosthatch said in the OP:

@hosthatch said: All of our nodes have 10 GbE public + 10 GbE private with jumbo frames. So for example - you can use a NVMe + storage server in combination by mounting the disk over the private network. It will be higher performance than most 'block storage' products out there, likely cheaper, and you get more control over your setup.

Would still like some pointers from those who have experience with such a setup, though ...

It seems so. And I guess it's why some people complain about support.

They should write in the ToS something along the lines of "our company has a very specific concept of time"

Their support has always been fast to me other than during BF.

Time can not be bend, only influenced by gravity.

Hi guys

Sorry for the delay in getting these deals out to you. Hope you will like them.

The promotions applies to all of our locations, and we are also introducing multiple new locations for our KVM NVMe servers. Warsaw and Sydney is live starting today. Hong Kong, Milan and Madrid will also be launched in the next couple of weeks. We can take pre-orders for these locations if you are keen, but guaranteed delivery will be December 31st.

Please carefully read the specifications and delivery ETAs before ordering. All payments are final.


Let’s start with the storage VMs. They are based on RAID-50/60 with SSD caching. As many of you already know, these are reliable, high performing storage plans. You won't find any days where you can't pull/push at least a whole gigabit to or from the internet. You can expect consistent, high performance, all year round, but keep in mind that these are for mass storage and not heavy compute. Abuse will be dealt with very efficiently.

Storage deals:
Available in: Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles

> 1x 2.4+ GHz
> 3 GB RAM
> 3 TB usable storage
> 9 TB bandwidth
> $84 per year
> Add more resources for $30 per year per chunk. Each chunk is 1 GB RAM, 1 TB storage and 3 TB bandwidth. Up to 30 TB storage per VM. This pricing is only for servers created during the promotion. We can do quarterly billing cycle for servers larger than 5 TB.
> 
> Existing customers from the past two years' Black Friday deals can upgrade to these plans. Just send in a ticket. We love you.
> 
> An additional 10% discount applies if you order them in at least two (or more) locations. And before you ask, no, it is not possible to do it in the same location/server.
> 
> You can add or remove chunks and calculate pricing yourself linearly. It will be too complex if I start writing out all the possible configurations 
> This is the most reliable, high performing storage you can find on the market (compared to any Kimsufi deals and such), AND we beat them on price.
> 
> 
> If you find a better quality/cost ratio, please let us know. We have hundreds of TBs available to deploy with a minute's notice.
> 
> You can likely get two of these in different locations, still come cheaper than most backup services, and have far more reliability/control over your data by replicating it.

NVMe deals:
Available in: Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Zurich, Oslo, Vienna, Warsaw, London, Chicago, New York and Sydney (Hong Kong, Madrid and Milan can be pre-ordered, but delivery will be by December 31st).

I know you guys are going to complain about the low bandwidth allotment in Sydney and Hong Kong. If you see someone providing cheaper for the same price, please let me know and we will see what we can do.

All of our nodes have 10 GbE public + 10 GbE private with jumbo frames. So for example - you can use a NVMe + storage server in combination by mounting the disk over the private network. It will be higher performance than most 'block storage' products out there, likely cheaper, and you get more control over your setup.

If you decide to get at least one NVMe VM in each of our locations, you will get 30% off your order. This means ordering 15 VMs in total at least (1 per location)

How to order

To order, please sign up or login at manage.hosthatch.com and deposit the appropriate amount of funds. Then open a ticket with sales mentioning the promotion/location you want. All special orders are manually provisioned on working days only. We require up to 7 working days to provision these so please be patient.

Please note that we will likely have some flash sales, which might be better/worse than these deals, and you might feel bad about missing out on them. We cannot switch you once you have opened a ticket to order something. An open ticket (whether you close it or not later) is considered an active order, and will not be changeable without our discretion. Please understand that flash deals or not - all of these are high-performing servers with incredible value for the price.

Please keep an eye on this thread. We will update as stock in some locations go out. Any orders made after the timestamp of my post saying we are out of stock here will not be provisioned, and your only option will be to change to something else.

Can I still order these VPSes now?
