Hybula Sector Cloud | AMD EPYC - NVMe - 50 Gbit/s Uplink - Netherlands - LET PROMO & GIVEAWAYS!!!
Good day LET idlers and welcome to our first exclusive promotion on LET. Some of our staff are long time LET lurkers and members, we have learned much about providers and even about the industry itself on LET, so we decided to throw in a little promotion here as a token of gratitude. The following promo is a limited deal with only a limited amount of stock, as we usually sell cloud servers in a different price segment.
About Hybula
Most of you probably haven't heard about us, so let's start with an "about us". We are Hybula B.V., a Dutch privately owned tech company since 2017, ran by Dutch staff which primarily offers cloud, security and development services to enterprises. In early 2021 we noticed a massive change in the hosting industry in the Netherlands; caused by numerous acquisitions from two giant investors in the Netherlands. This gave us a good opportunity to expand into a wider range of cloud services, including virtual private servers for starters and mid-sized businesses. Read more about our background and meet our team here.
We are a company with a face, our customers are not numbers but true partners. We strive to be the best in communication, transparency and premiumness.

Comments
Now this an informative (at least for me) introduction and first offer post 👍🏼
Congratulations and best of luck!
I'm definitely impressed. What an amount of info.
Indeed a nice and professional introduction.
As I just so happen to have a need for another high-quality, not ultra-low but decent price for this kind of node (yummy, yummy) with what seems to be an absolute top-class network, I'll see whether I can get one (and benchmark it).
Not that I'm mistrusting @Hybula but that kind of node and network just beg for being tortu ... uhm, extensively tested.
I'll report back if I manage to get one (with 2 TB please).
Thank you for your kind words!
I hope all is clear enough.
Feel free to test it out, just create a ticket. I will ensure you will get enough bandwidth for testing
Waiting for yabs
Here is a YABS on a LET package:
Thanks dear
Interesting. According to the YABS benchmark, Server is in Netherlands but got 1Gbits/sec to both US and EU. Speed to Singapore is also good. Is this a better choice than Hetznet cloud?
None of my current boxes match that disk i/o! Is the test done on an empty node?
We have really have a good connectivity around the globe, you can read more about our network here: https://community.hybula.com/d/21-as35133-unicast-network
There are currently around 12 VMs deployed on this node. Would love to see our name in your signature one day
@Hybula is the offer a trimmed PSC-2?
Correct, the only trimmed on this is the bandwidth/traffic. However you can still win upgrades with our giveaway. Then it's even more than PSC-2.
no need atm. wait for bf 2022.
Waiting for BF 2022, same plan at €25/year, 25 stock.
The webpage is titled "unicast network".
Does this mean you have multicast too?
The funny thing about China Telecom peering is that, there's direct peering with the regular China Telecom network (AS4134), but connection to CN2 (premium China Telecom, AS4809) goes through Twelve99.
This might be a rare situation where CN2 is worse than regular China Telecom.
For information, network tests from Verizon FiOS in Washington DC market:
Great first offer post. Solid performance as well (I don't think I've ever seen those kind of speeds across the Atlantic here on LET).
And who can resist a giveaway?
Ticket:
#0483097Interesting offer and good first impression
Giveaway ticket:
#3164518@yoursunny As we also have a seperate Anycast network, we simply branded the "normal" network as unicast.
Interesting, we indeed have direct peering with China Telecom (AS4134) and not CN2. Are you saying that connectivity through Twelve99 is better, or worse? I would love to debug this together with you and my network engineer, if you want to help out just get in touch to any of the methods.
Thank you for your order, we received your ticket.
Thank you for your order. Really appreciate it.
Preliminary:
Bloody hell, that connectivity really is from another planet!
Well, of bloody course, the first thing I did once I had my Hybula account and VPS was to start a benchmark. What I was expecting was results somewhere in between Contabo (Epyc processor, ample memory, nice NVMe, kind of decent (but by no means great) connectivity) and NexusBytes (NL location, Worldstream DC, Ryzen processor, nice NVMe, great connectivity (well, Worldstream)) - but what I actually saw was really surprising. To cut it short, Hybulas connectivity was so great that it blew the NB VPS out of the water ... and made me search yet again for better test targets.
At that point, kudos to @Clouvider whose network has significantly grown to far away locations and usually is among the best I've seen from Europe. As I'm anyway in the process of getting rid of quite some softlayer targets, I replaced some major and critical ones with Clouvider targets, e.g. Los Angeles. Well done, Clouvider, compliments!
And yes, Hybula deserves and needs high quality test targets. But of course both, the NB and the Hybula VPS had and used the exact same target list.
Here are some result examples, all in Mb/s:
(P.S. As usually, sorry for me f_cking up formatting)
And well noted, Worldstream's network is a nice and fast network and has a very good reputation! But Hybula's connectivity just blows it out of the water, and quite brutally.
And no, it's not to do with the VPS. My NexusBytes VPS is really very nice and its Ryzen and memory never gave me the slightest reason to complain. It's really the connectivity. So, If you are a connectivity junkie or if your project needs really great connectivity to pretty much every corner of the planet, Hybula seems to be the best choice.
Resumee so far: I feel like a really lucky guy having a very nice VPS with unearthly good connectivity for basically 50% of the normal price. Plus, kudos to Hybula, because they threw in a free traffic volume upgrade with a short, dry and friendly remark along the lines of "might be useful for benchmarking", haha.
As a private person, I'll be frank, I wouldn't shell out €10 per month for a VPS with 2 Epyc vCores, 2 GB memory, and 25 GB NVMe. For certain projects though that do need excellent connectivity and a professional kind of node, I would have Hybula near the top of my candidate list.
Oh, and a quick remark re. their panel: Nice, really nice! Finally a panel whose overview page really tells me everything I need to know, for example, uhum, (I'm looking at you WHMCS) complete networking info, not just the IP. With that Hybula VF panel you won't need to open a ticket just to find out about a gateway not on .1 or a mask smaller than a /24 or otherwise uncommon. Yay, that's what I want from a panel. Besides it looks nice too.
CPU and disk performance, you ask? Sorry, too early, I'm not even sure that the node is already full,so my 20-ish runs so far wouldn't mean a whole lot.
Hybula would you please kindly tell me once the node is full, can be via PM or email in case you consider that info sensitive.
TL;DR Highly likely a very decent Epyc VPS but the real point is this: What a connectivity speed demon! I want to meet the aliens you got your network from, Hybula!
@jsg Great! Thank you for your review. Let's do this again once this LET node is a bit crowded more and see how it goes.
You can also add our speedtest file, it's on the same iperf3 server and connected to a 40G uplink: http://speedtest-nl-oum.hybula.net/files/1GB.bin (also 10G.bin)
I'm sure @VirtFusion is happy with those words. We are quite happy too and we work closely with Phill to improve it.
Thanks, but I would find it unfair to use a target of (one of) the reviewed/benchmarked provider(s). And I'm not unhappy with the current NL, AMS target. But for future tests I'll try yours, thanks.
@jsg yabs?
screenshosts?

Agreed, it's rare to see providers here offering NovoServe VPS, their network is really out of this world!
I have already posted a YABS, a few posts earlier. Screenshots can be found here:
https://community.hybula.com/d/23-sector-tutorial
and even on our website some GIFs in action:
https://www.hybula.com/sector-cloud
Thank you for your order! We have received your ticket.
Thanks, maybe you should try it out?
@Hybula yabs... yebs! was scrolling to fast.
I'd love to, but currently I have too many boxes in the Netherlands, but I was seriously tempted by your offer! Seems like a fantastic deal and I might end up grabbing one now and finding a use case later
Reach out to me on one of the contact methods and we will arrange something together
I've joined your Discord，and look forward to other offers.
This is good stuff, and I can't have enough NL servers.
However, this isn't low end enough for me.
