Yeah, they suck, and I just bought one.
I guess I am addicted to cheap shit and bad service.
You hunt for a unicorn...and when you find it, you get an anemic 11-year-old CPU.
I can't pay now, it says didn't receive payment and I would like to buy one. Who's KS-1 is free now? Pm me pls, I would like to get one for 6$ via PayPal.
It is a 2 TB extra backup location and fine for app testing and uptime monitoring. But with my luck it will crash after 7 days.
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0012 091 091 000 Old_age Always - 66774I don't get why you guys love that machines either.
3.5euro/TB for non-replicated (one drive) backups? Lol. And then comes 100Mbps bandwidth, restoring something bigger will take long.
App testing? Oracle Cloud always free x86 instance has 3x CPU power.
Uptime monitoring? Hetrixtools or even GCP always free (1GB egress is enough).
KS-01 is nice for seedbox, but not for things you mentioned. Waste of money and power at this point. I mean, you could just do "app testing" on 5 year Android phone from you drawer at this point, it will be faster.

Backup arguably doesn't need to be replicated or RAIDed, it is a backup after all. A second-third-nth copy of something already present elsewhere.
That doesn't seem correct, in some quick testing it appears to be up to 2x slower instead, remember you only get 1/8 of the CPU core on that one.
Regarding the KS, things to love are privacy due to the lack of someone being "root" above your VPS, who is able to stealthily clone and then examine all its content and your data.
Secondly, OVH users can vouch that even though it is only 100 Mbit, you can use the bandwidth 24/7 with no slowdown or any limits or complaints from them.
Finally, everything doesn't need to be the fastest possible, it can be just fast "enough". At one point I was hosting a few simple websites on the KS-1, and also on the first-version Kidechire's VIA CPU, which is "even slower". Using a lightweight stack in the form of plain-text DokuWiki and Lighttpd, nobody notices that the page is being generated in 0.15s, instead of 0.05s (or such). But since I am capped to about 6 page generations per second, I could only serve about half a million visitors per day on this, so it is certainly a limitation to keep in mind.
How the fuck do you manage to pay 7€ for a KS1?
5.70€ is what I pay.
"That doesn't seem correct, in some quick testing it appears to be up to 2x slower instead"
Atom N2800 with DDR3 is 2x faster? What "quick testing" have you done exactly?
"1/8 of the CPU core on that one"
No. Its 1/8 OCPU (Oracle CPU), not CPU core.
Check Geekbench 5 result of slowest possible always free x86
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/15399929
Its ~300 points single core. If its 1/8 of real core then it means that EPYC 7551 gets 2400 points single core. Does it? Ofc no, its more like 700-800. So you get more like 1/2 of "real core".
Their naming (OCPU) is stupid as fuck, I know, but really you say that N2800 is 2x faster?
https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-atom-n2800
It barely gets 100 points single core.
Keep in mind that 300 points is result of EPYC 7551, but you can also get AMD EPYC 7742 or AMD EPYC 7J13 - both are way faster.
KS-1 gets 300 multi-core score. So they're about the same overall. It's still a nice little machine. My current one is coming up to 9 years in 5 weeks time. Never even had a power outage once.
Just my simple test:
101 MB/s on Oracle, and I remember it was around 175 MB/s on the N2800.
On that one, Oracle will benefit from having the hardware AES acceleration among other things, probably stuff such as the latest SSE, AVX etc, which N2800 might not have.
@rm_ didn't you used to have a hosting company that featured (or at least had) Atom dedis in EU...or am I confusing you with someone else...
No, I never had (ran) a hosting company so far, if that's what you mean.
There's a number of those (if you mean smaller ones).
Digicube.fr (might be defunct), FirstHeberg and Ikoula come to mind.
Very weird way to rate performance of CPU, but okay...
Just tested it and I have ~500MB/s for 2core 3900X, 2core 2680v2, 4core Ampere A1. Lol.
~100MB/s on Oracle always free x86 indeed. And 15% CPU usage.
its higher, 182 to 196
Danish VAT is 25% and my bank takes a fee when I pay in €.
Pay in USD and change your Bank.
I am talking about my own Django Web Apps and python script etc.
The uptime monitoring is my own software project, and i need multiple instances for testing. Running test on a phone or a small screen don't giv any sence.
It is a little funny that I have to defend I spent €7.
It is the price of 2 cheap cups of coffee.
It costs both time and money to change to another bank in Western Europe countries. And "cheap" banks don't exist in Denmark.
Paying in $ doesn't change anything, and I will not create a fake hosting account to save €1 in VAT.
fake hosting account, what?
Anyone can get a USD World account.
Anyone can get a Revolut card for free.
Excuses.
Revolut charges an exchange fee and is most likely making money on the exchange rate. And they are famous in Denmark for suspending accounts without any explanation and keeping the money. And for transactions that disappear.
Anyway, it is a fucking waste of time because of one euro.
And I am happy to use a real bank.
"All of our plans allow you to make at least €1,000 of exchange per month without an exchange fair usage fee"
Whatever.
If who don't want it anymore, see my last thread.
I can't (won't try to) find your last thread. Please, provide us with the link.
Thank you.
It’s available now, got get asap
It's back....

I've had my old Atom server with Kimsufi for over 9 years now. Just checked
Power On Hours - 82963
Is that a record ??
Just got one, thanks!
Just got one myself and ended up with a 2TB drive. 49837 hours on it.
Not bad for €4.99 year.
