When can paypal payment be supported, I will support you
Hey!
We are just about to give up on Stripe, there is no question of adding PayPal again, giving up on the same reasoning.
Specifically, a LET member ordered 4 VPS servers that amounted to about 60 EUR, one per day.
After about a week, we receive a cascade of complaints from Stripe that the transactions are disputed on the grounds that "the cardholder has no idea what's going on with them".
Since I had no way to prove that the cardholder is behind the whmcs account, I agreed to give a refund for all transactions, but what will you see.
It cost 60 euros to return all the money and another 82 in stripe fees (each lost dispute costs 20.5 euros), regardless of the value of the transaction.
YABS run on "2vCPU - 4GB RAM - 60GB SSD + 100GB SAS 7.2K" (5,50€/m):
Few things so far:
Really wanted to support the whole endeavor and like the idea of the setup very much, also the openess of @FlorinMarian about his way to this point - keep it up!
However, I can't really justify keeping it around in my collection for the provided price-performance ratio so far.
is double uptime also an option?
is double price also an option?
holy shit 215 singlecore? It's not 2009 anymore.
Hey!
First of all, thanks for the feedback!
This was caused by the fact that previously the main node was another and that node had been closed for a few hours to replace all 6 SSDs from Intel 1.2TB to Samsung PM893 1.92TB. My mistake for not making sure that the necessary files for the NoVNC console from whmcs are not missing.
I also noticed this on one of our VMs, but I didn't have time to debug. There are high chances that it is a problem because of the new Firewall rules added after 2 or 3 days ago we went through a series of DDoS attacks.
The images are from the repos of the respective vendors, they are not customized in any way.
This is something that escaped me more or less by accident.
Specifically, I wanted to leave the deployment on the "any" node so that if one of the nodes disappears overnight (errors or simply taken out of use) any future reinstallation or the activation of a new order will not crack, on the principle that only the CPU can be different (all nodes also have RAID10 SSDs + DDR4 RAM) and the client, having direct access to the CPU name, can request live migration of the VM to a node with the promised CPU.
You know why? Even in the results of your benchmark, you don't see anything wow because the storage node (hp1) on which your VM is currently running is permanently running the 'powersave' mode and not because of being stingy with regard to resource consumption, but because the 14 fans stay at 12k rpm in this consumption mode and at over 20k rpm in 'performance' mode.
In conclusion, thank you for drawing my attention to these things, I will look for a method to solve them as best I can.
P.S. I know that people trust me when it comes to honesty, but I still leave a proof that the problem with the benchmark is not overselling but the 'reduced consumption' mode, as I specified.
I can confirm the fact that the assumption related to the much too low performance due to the energy saving mode was true.
I leave below a benchmark of a node running in "performance" mode.
I think the results speak for themselves.
Thank you once again @Bochi for your honest and helpful feedback.
P.S. If you want to keep your service and move it to another node where you won't have those problems, let me know. I will also offer you a free month to reward your time.
A benchmark of the node with issues, after changing the power mode settings:
First of all, thanks for the feedback @FlorinMarian - appreciate that.
Gave it another go, looks way better (and "feels" better as well):
Side notes:
Thanks you very much for the offer, no need for a free month though - may not have time to play that much unfortunately...
Can you bring back nested virtualization though? Willing to use those 8GB of RAM to tinker with Proxmox a bit.
@FlorinMarian you still havent paid me back from when you shut down all these cheap vps'es (nat ones i think)
This title did not age well
Are multi user vpn server setup allowed?
It is not against rules but you are responsable to prevent any abuse
Hey!
A new benchmark of the hybrid package (SSD + HDD) at 5.50 EUR after we optimized the infrastructure organization again.
Buy it now
We would like to inform you that there is an upgrade on the IPv4 network where we currently have 650Mbps guaranteed and 2Gbps best effort, but we are waiting for the quote from both providers to know which of the two lines will be increased.(2 weeks have already passed since we requested their feasibility study but we still have no results)
Hello!
Having a lot of free time during this period, I started migrating our switch configurations from RAW commands to an ansible role written from scratch to include all the changes so far, with a much easier subsequent management (you can't even imagine how much the architecture gets complicated from one day to the next when bottlenecks and things that can be substantially improved keep appearing).
I'm very intrigued by the idea of offering either managed VPS or webhost to broaden our horizons
let me translate it for these few hipothetical customers left:
ANOTHER OUTAGE IS COMMING
codename for this nth disaster episode will be a revelation:
"declarative! this is the way!"
perseverance is a virtue... romanian reverse style of doing things: sell, run, test, configure, think
Don't worry, bro has a bachelor in IT management.
I would really appreciate your mentality if it wasn't as chaotic to work on a product, looking for hiccups and errors by yourself to solve before the release and then become a millionaire without doing anything.
We both know very well why there are several releases for the same product which obviously comes not only with new features but also with bugfixes and improvements.
you meant proven track of neverending clueless actions
It seems that you read a recent reply of mine from right to left.
I said and I repeat: if everything had gone well the first time, I would not have learned anything.
How ignorant I am, I don't think you are in a position to tell me considering that you only know what I have exposed here
Ou Florin Florin... Please print this and hang on your wall near to "hang in there!" poster:
"declarative! this is the way!"

Hey!
With Ansible I still have a choice, the declaration seems much more pressing when I use Terraform (only at work at the moment, at HAZI.ro I haven't found a meaning yet).
Very good that you learn new stuff but is not a good idea to learn on customers money.
Hey!
Again, it sounds good until we come back down to earth and realize that all the people who develop software and provide services do the same.
Customers have the obligation to make their own backups regardless of the provider they have.
I even lost access to Oracle Cloud through their faulty anti-fraud mechanisms but I had nothing better to do than to have a plan B to get me out of trouble
Hey!
For the sake of transparency and so that customers can more easily report abuses if you identify them, we made public the dashboard where you can see the statistics at the level of active nodes (only 3 of the 7 nodes are present because one has a different OS, another is in a separate cluster and the other 2 are stopped until the resources for the present ones are exhausted).
