    Thank you so much for your continued business 👊

    Hi @dustinc ,any chance for shared/reseller host server will be upgraded in the future, 4 example ssd to Nvme? perhaps the cpu?

    another thing, maybe you should give more information about Cloudlinux limitation on the shared n reseller package..

    God bless Racknerd 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

    Thank You again for the interest and we hope to work with you soon :)

    DONE!

    Please double bandwidth for #2310185

    Thanks @dustinc

    Hi @biangkerok -- awesome, thank you for placing an order with RackNerd! Happy to see you were able to take advantage of our Black Friday deals :)

    We've doubled your bandwidth allocation.

    @ferefient said:
    RackNerd fanboys/"girls" fucking suck. There is nothing special about RackNerd, nor Virmach. It is just the same oversold CC slop that was outputted by multiple providers (now deadpooled) over the years.

    This is why I recommend just getting a dedi and a couple large IPv4 subnets, and going all out, with your own infrastructure. Can load up the CPU at any time, with no problematic complaints, or the like.

    Your only concern is the feds seizing the dedi's HDDs, but at least, it'll make their lives harder (no easy way to dump the memory contents; well, maybe?).

    Hi @ferefient -- appreciate you trying our services - I should mention (just in case you weren't aware) if you require services outside of the ColoCrossing network, we have the capacity to do so.

    I also wanted to point out that depending on your use case, hosting on a VPS can at times prove to be more beneficial compared to hosting on a dedicated server with a single HDD. For example, all of our VPS host nodes are designed with at minimum 8x Enterprise SSD's in RAID-10, meaning your VPS benefits from the Disk I/O performance (much faster than a single SATA HDD would be able to accomplish), in addition to redundancy and proactive host node monitoring. This may or may not be applicable for your use case, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

    We sincerely appreciate your business and hope that you continue to utilize our services.

    @dustinc said: much faster than a single SATA HDD would be able to accomplish

    This dedi has 4x2TB HDDs, and is configured in RAID 10, too. Sure, you have SSDs, so I'll give you that.

    @ferefient said:
    Yes, I've used RackNerd before, and it was just like Virmach/AlphaRacks.

    That's your individual experience, not proof of any relationship with CC, though. I had 250ms ping to CVPS L.A. and other CC slops, but am getting 120ms to Racknerd L.A., and Racknerd is way cheaper now than CVPS ever was back then, with far more realistic hardware to boot.

    Hi @Logano -- happy to hear that you've found our service reliability and network performance to be meeting your expectations :)

    We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! If you ever need anything, I'll be here to help - [email protected] 👊

    Hi @eoamk — great question! For these particular Black Friday offers, there are several: Los Angeles DC-02, Strasbourg, Frankfurt, Miami, and Singapore.

    Additionally, we can deploy bare metal infrastructure across 20+ datacenters globally. Feel free to reach out if you had any custom requirements in mind [email protected] - and I can make a better suggestion based on your specific use case :)

    We bought 2 VPS last year from RN during BF last year, I had amazing support from the team. I was unfortunate and unlucky to run into a ram failure early in my service, but RN response was excellent and I was very happy. It's been smooth since and I've been happy with the service and value.

    I renewed my 2 VPS deals earlier this week and I have now purchased a 3rd VPS. Perhaps I'll add a few more before the holiday is out!

I recall you participating on last year's thread, super excited to see you here this year as well 🥳 Time flies, thank you for the continued business (on both the renewals, and the additional services). Happy to hear that you've found our service and support to be smooth despite the initial hiccup.

    I've been a constant lurker in LEB for years now, silently getting deals here and there. I've also been wanting to tryout RackNerd for a while now because of all the positive exposure it gets in LEB.

    I finally jumped the gun with the Black Friday deals. Good deal imo. Hope I get the double bandwidth soon. :smile:

    Hi @doghouch -- thank you for placing an order with RackNerd!

    Jailed shell access is available on shared hosting plans upon request, just open a support ticket and we can get that enabled for you.

    We've doubled your bandwidth allocation as well B)

    Sent a ticket and SSH was active within four minutes. Probably was a single click for support but still -- support is impressively quick for the price! <3
