Yes, install Debian 12 and follow instructions https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_install_proxmox_ve_on_debian
will BudgetKVMUK-1 be restocked anytime soon?
Interested as well. Or any other EU budget KVM plan.
I think it will be available again after all the UK pre-orders have been provisioned.
fingers crossed, looking for something before the end of august
All UK pre-orders have been delivered. We are working on the SJC pre-orders, should be delivered early next week. Stocks will be updated soon.
Received my UK one and it's great, thankyou @NDTN ! GeoIP is still pointing to Chicago, however - is it worth opening a ticket or just be patient wait for GeoIP info to propagate?
I got it too, but ugh ... ARIN IP allocation for UK VPS. Updating small private geolocation services like maxmind, Ip2location etc... won't do much good here.
My previous UK VPS had a proper RIPE IP.
Exactly the situation I am also in
Support responded quickly.
They will update old ranges to new nodes in week or two. Then you can request switch to the IP from old range.
This should solve issue as old nodes have proper RIPE (UK) allocation.
Received mine yesterday. Thank you @NDTN . I would appreciate if you could fix the GEO IP Location (RIPE IP) from your end. Cheers
Noticed the UK servers are restocked this morning. Ordered and I'm already up and running, great service!
Request has been sent to Maxmind and IP2locations, WHOIS should be updated in a few weeks. We do not guarantee that the IPs there will be RIPE IPs.
Just ordered BudgetKVMUK-1, tri-annually. No double promotion anymore? Also read about ongoing work on geolocation. My ip geolocates to US rather than UK. Do I need to open a ticket or just wait?
Double promotion is only valid for pre-orders. For WHOIS, please wait a few weeks for the database to be updated.
@NDTN . I've read on the internet that gaming servers (such as Minecraft) aren't allowed in your vps services, is this true?
Yes, it's also mentioned in their terms of service
Great, thank you!
To be honest there are two reasons most providers don't allow games: CPU usage and being a DDOS magnet.
If you want to run small, "private" server that not gonna burn 100% CPU for extended periods of time and won't bring any DDOS because idk - you selling shit and other kids are angry... they probably won't ever notice your running it
We are currently out of stock on this item so orders for it have been suspended until more stock is available. For further information, please contact us.
no longer available.
I see, thanks for the response!
It would be a small private server for me and my friends to play like once week, so it probably wouldn't be noticed. But I'll still search for another provider that allows it.
Hi, do you have any spare orders in San Jose?
That's very unfortunate and despite a decent price sadly deal breaker to me.
What database?
The only database which should be updated is RIPE whois database, but with ARIN subnet you can't update this one or am I wrong?
All other tiny-mini commercial private databases like at LET glorified maxmind together don't reach even 1% of the internet.
We have data on 6,527 companies that use MaxMind. The companies using MaxMind are most often found in United States and in the Retail industry. MaxMind is most often used by companies with 1-10 employees and 1M-10M dollars in revenue.
Support expressed willingness to replace current ARIN IP with old (proper RIPE-UK) IP when they update old ranges to new nodes in week or two.
Lets wait and see what will happen.
My old UK greencloud vps had a proper RIPE (UK) IP address.
Why RIPE IP is sought after and better than ARIN?
It's not "better" in a term of quality but usability for a VPS located in RIPE region.
I will quote my old post for better understanding.
So, what I understand is that if my VPS is in Europe than I better have a RIPE IP instead of ARIN IP which in MaxMind database may be marked as European IP. But not many companies use MaxMind to detect IP location.
Something like that. MaxMind is not an "official" IP address allocation database, just one of many relatively small private companies and as such relatively insignificant compared to the rest of the internet. The same goes for Ip2location, IPinfo, KeyCDN, Ipregistry, Digital Element, ipstack, IPWHOIS ... and several others.
They are fine for quick lookup, but most of the internet (especially services which require local presence) don't use that.
Of course, not everyone needs IP to match real location. If you use VPS for backups, some private project, etc... you won't even notice or care that most of the internet sees the location of your UK VPS as North American or something. But for a VPN or something ... It's on a case-by-case basis.
