My HostHatch HK VM (from blackfriday 2020) is up, I think not all hosthatch HK is down
I've been using the reseller's HongKong NATVPS, but it's down time to time.
You are one of ppl who have been webhorizoned, aren't you?
my HK vm has been up for a while and network is pretty good too
It's been 2 days, my new server is still offline, no response on the ticket.
I just got my storage VPS in HK.
Did you read the first post?
Are there any other differences between our normal and discounted plans?
Yes, primarily our support. It can take several days to resolve certain issues, especially issues that require complex investigation. Please choose one of the services from hosthatch.com directly for production usage, with access to our normal support queue.
Do you have 8GB plan with $30/y price in UK or NL ?? (I think it was from 2020 BF/CM deal)
Maybe you can spare some and i can buy yours with higher price
I just need one
The promo is gone. I'm glad I snatched it in time. My storage VPS is snappy both the disk speed and network. Hope there will be a promo for compute VMs in HK and Zurich on the BFD too.
Hi
Yes, but unfortunately i need them as compute instances (connected thr. nfs) for large (12TB monster) storage there
The same in NL (but with 16GB RAM compute inst.)
So i cannot help with this :-/
I never ask more than is origin price or prorated rest
Maybe watch too services transfer categ or maybe near BF will brings just such something what u need, good luck with it (I think surprises and special sales of HH are always quite spectacular)
NEW STRG HK now ticket responded, issue fixed and VPS working guys (i have survived initial 2 days off in good health), another good one for these money, thanks
BTW: connection to LAX and NL & europe too is pretty nice
I just missed it.
Guys, I bought a 3T plan, the partition table is MBR, how do I use the 3T space, when I convert the hard disk to GPT, the system cannot boot, it should be that HostHatch has not enable UEFI
I think: Try install DEBIAN (or other system) on new from ISO
(Partitioning should be automatically create and set proper partition table and partitions (GPT + EFI BOOT, when will sees disk over 2TB))
If this also will not work and able boot then open ticket
(i doubt that EFI boot with GPT is not supported on node (and just on EPYC new node), sooner maybe u did something not properly or simple conversion to GPT went not good)
Before few days i had similar problems on other EPYC node, when rsynced or dd-ed/cloned entire disk w EFI boot system on GPT from another EPYC, was not able work and boot from unknown reasons, but when i reinstalled from ISO installer (with exactly the same partition scheme) then this was by miracle then working immediately and able to boot
I had a weird situation like that as well with another HostHatch VPS. I doubt it has anything to do with HostHatch, but here's what happened to me:
I first tried to restore an existing image I already had using commercial backup software. After doing this, I was unable to expand my partition past 2 TB to take advantage of all available space. I assume this is because the original system was using an MBR partition. No big deal.
I then tried reinstalling from scratch using both Rocky and Alma Linux ISOs, but for some reason, neither installer could see the full size of the storage. They could only see the first 2 TB.
The same was true when I booted from GParted. Even if I cleared all partitions, I still couldn't access more than 2 TB.
Next, I tried installing Debian. Oddly, its installer could recognize all of the space. Once I allowed Debian to install, any other installer could magically access the full amount of storage.
I have no idea why Debian's installer could reset things to the way they should be, but it fixed that issue for me.
Because Debian installer has recreated the partition table before partitioning, you can also do this manually to destory the MBR partition table to access the full amount of disk.
On a BIOS/GPT configuration, a BIOS boot partition is required. You can search this on the internet.
Absolutely love my VM, thanks guys! Nice to see some reliable Hong Kong storage, and with an excellent network blend too!
Wish I'd gone for it now. The speed to the looking glass was pretty bad when I tried. Oh well.
Yeah, the HK looking glass isn't good, but it's significantly faster for both upload and download on these storage VMs.
What is your download / upload speed from US / Europe?
Here is my yabs which is similar to miu's above. IPv6 is having a problem so there is only the IPv4 test. And I have something running so the GB5 score is lower than usual.
Right, but wouldn't you expect the installer from other distros to do this as well?
I've used Anaconda (RHEL and family) to create partition layouts many times in the past, so I assumed that I could use it to wipe any existing MBR partitions and create a new GPT-based partition table. But no luck, at least in the scenario I described above. Anaconda was constrained to the MBR limitations.
This Storage VM from HostHatch is really a great service for the price they offer. Speedtest to my ISP in Da Nang, Vietnam gives quite impressive results: ping 45ms, download: 3293.3 Mbps, upload: 1299.4 Mbps

I'd recommend installing Debian from an ISO instead of using the Debian templates from HostHatch. The first time I logged in to my storage VPS, the OS alone already used 16GB of disk space while it takes only around 3GB if installed via an ISO.
You can use dd command to destory the existing partition table and fdisk to create GPT partion table before partitioning, for example, press Alt+Function key to do the operation before you perform partitioning in Anaconda installer but after the disk scanning.
There is an easier way to do that, you can mount a live ISO just like Gparted to overwrite the existing MBR partition table, than mount your RHEL ISO.
Solid advice for any provider.
In my earlier hosting days, I'd use templates. I can't count the hours of troubleshooting due to some providers' templates having odd, non-standard configurations for some random packages, all totally undocumented. By the time I figured out the problem, I could have reinstalled from ISO several times.
Nothing beats a minimal installation from ISO followed by an Ansible (or similar) playbook to get the system to conform to your own needs.
Great promotion, but the servers have bad route to China.
Guys,i have solved it,You can use the background template (ubuntu 22), and you will find that it completely recognizes a space larger than 2T,Because in the background template, ubuntu 22 is a GPT partition.If you don't like ubuntu, you can install ubuntu 22 first, and then use IOS to install the system you like. So, the final solution is——
First use the partition tool(The role of ubuntu 22 in the background is this) to convert the hard disk to GPT, and then install it with ISO, you can fully identify the size larger than 2T, that is, BIOS+GPT, and it can work normally.
