Storage and NVMe goodness :)
Hi guys,
We have the following offers available.
2 GB RAM 15 GB NVMe 2 TB bandwidth $2.5 per month, or $20 per year Pay for 2 years upfront for 2x RAM and 2x bandwidth
Available in: Los Angeles, Stockholm, Madrid, Milan, New York, Warsaw
8 GB RAM 40 GB NVMe 5 TB bandwidth $5.5 per month, $50 per year Pay for 2 years upfront for 2x RAM and 2x bandwidth
Available in: Los Angeles, Stockholm, Madrid, Milan, New York, Warsaw
Multiple packages can be stacked.
512 MB RAM 250 GB usable storage 3 TB bandwidth $18 per year
Available in: Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles, London and Chicago
These will be available for one week, unless they are extended. If they are sold out, the links will stop working.
They cannot be changed/modified with old VMs. We also offer BGP sessions in all of our locations for customers spending at least $180/year or $25 per month in total account spend.
IPv6 is available in all of our locations.

If I understand correctly, the second plan, if paid biannually, provides a better GB RAM-to-price ratio than to the BF deals (other than the bandwidth, storage, and core count reduction)... nice
How many core per plan ? and if stacked ?
For the first plan, if I pay for 2 years, can you do 2x storage space instead of 2x RAM?
You can see the CPU on the order page. CPU cores are not added when stacking, only dedicated %.
Unfortunately not
Can I stack
storagetoo? And if yes how it actually works, I don't see any +1 before ordering - order two, message support? Merge button will show up?Based on the previous thread I did the following:
Granted my service was for an NVMe server, but it doesn't explicitly say storage isn't considered, so it's probably fine.
Maybe it's me, but cpu allocation seem low for the quantity of RAM.
Yes

Madrid and Milan looking glass are not working.
Can you post their IP (both v4 and v6)?
How much CPU am I allowed to use persistently on the 2GB x2 plan?
What CPU model is that?
Your site isn't loading for me.
Most of their locations are either E5-2680 v2 or E5-2690 v2
FWIW I'm using a HostHatch Madrid server for https://dnstools.ws/. You can do pings/traceroutes from there or ping/traceroute
es.worker.dns.tgif you like.Any chance to make the second deal possible in amsterdam? I had a similar ticket open a few days ago.
Hello, is the price of storage 250g in lax set wrong?
Interesting... I'm seeing the same thing too (now that the site is loading for me). It's showing $75/year rather than $18/year
FWIW based on my own anecdotal testing I'd recommend Chicago over Los Angeles for storage if the ping times aren't too bad from your location. Faster disks and slightly faster CPU. Both are really good for the price though!
I want one server for serving all of Europe.
Stockholm: Telia, supposed to good but a little too north
Warsaw: Cogent, bad reputation in the US
Madrid: M247, all the traffic goes to France and sometimes UK
Order page says 12.5% CPU.
This CPU model is Ivy Bridge 3.00 GHz, so 12.5% is only 375 MHz.
If RAM is doubled but CPU isn't, this would be underpowered.
If both are doubled, it's more reasonable.
@hosthatch do you double both RAM and CPU percentage, or is it still at 12.5%?
That means 12.5% dedicated. You're free to use 12.5% CPU constantly, and can burst to 100%, but you can't constantly use 100%. Other providers have similar limits but they just say "fair use" and don't explain what "fair use" actually means. At least HostHatch is clear about it
The "other providers" I have all have specified limits that are higher than this.
Without naming names:
12.5% for 4GB is low in comparison.
If I run an application similar to an in-memory database, I'm concerned that I'll exceed CPU allocation.
Yeah, I didn't say that it's a high limit, just that they're clear about what the limit is.
For comparison, I've got a 16GB RAM / 80GB NVMe VPS and it's got 100% dedicated core. On the other hand, I also have some 1GB RAM / 10GB NVMe VPSes from their Black Friday sale and they're either 25% or 30% dedicated depending on location 🤔
Are the prices of those providers comparable though? For example, BuyVM offer 100% CPU for 4GB but they're $15/month which is way higher.
Edit: I see you added the prices now
I wanted to pay for two years, but I only paid for one year, what can I do?
Because one year is $18 and two years is $32, I think it's a better deal.
Name it,looks very good deal.
but you do know that virmach cores are already throttled and yet steal is easily more than 20.0 right?
I also want to change the payment period to 2 years?
How should we do?
I bought plan 3 at Stockholm, and have payed the invoice, but it has been showing "Finalising" for about 3 hours. Is it normal? Please check the Invoice #230733. Thanks.
@hosthatch
is there chance to get this offer again, HostHatch 10TB storage for $10/month, I don't have vps with hosthatch but I would like to try if it has this plan.
Same here, but I think it’s normal. Searching for “finalizing” got many results.
Yes, its normal. They manually provision promo servers. Im still waiting for my 7 vps but 2 got already delivered.
$20 per year but $50 per 2 years???
I think it is 2 years with 2x ram and 2x bandwidth
Any 10TB storage?
For the other ones it's correct, for this one it is wrong
+1
In some cases, one location with very good connectivity should be prioritized over a myriad of different data centers, each with average connectivity. Fiber should be ~10 ms per 1000 miles, so a single location with amazing connectivity should theoretically be sufficient to serve a web app across all of Europe with sub-30 ms latency.
Think some users would be willing to pay extra for a location with premium bandwidth.
Although, the pricing on these is great for other things like compute and cool if you want to build your own load balanced systems. I'm using some to play around with k8s, and latency doesn't matter on that given it's just for fun and testing.
