    I don't think we will continue doing new RAID50/60 nodes considering past experience. No matter what the maths look like, in real world usage, we've had arrays that took 2-3 weeks to rebuild, while RAID10 of similar size took 1-2 days. No matter how well they are managed, there is always an inherently higher risk than RAID10.

    With nearly 8PB of storage nodes deployed and growing, I'd like to sleep better at night. :)

    Do you plan to move existing storage nodes to Raid10 anytime soon?

    I don't believe forcing people to switch to a higher priced service will make anyone happy, so we will instead offer an upgrade path where existing users can pay the difference and get a new server instead.

    Do you plan to discontinue the old plans for customers who don't wish to take such a path? $/TB is more important than redundancy to some of us, and if wasn't for the performance implications of shared single disks, I'd prefer JBOD over any kind of RAID that the provider didn't trust.

    I mean, if you sold the following - which is hardware equivalent to the listed 10TB plan, if I understand correctly - I'd have ordered one as soon as I saw it the money transferred to my debit card. ;)

    6 CPU cores
    20 TB dedicated disk (i.e. entire physical disk in pass-through to the VM)
    16 GB RAM
    120 TB bandwidth
    $450 per 2 years
    

    I'm sure HH will migrate them every time the old storage arrays shit the bed and you lose your server data, anyway. Then they likely won't/can't charge an upgrade fee.

  • hi, I'd like to know which laws apply to your VPS service, whether it's the laws of your home country (the United States?) or the laws of the country where the VPS is located?

  • @hosthatch Any chance for Stockholm storage offers?

  • Which epyc are these VMs will be on ?

    I guess it's the same as 2022 bf sale AMD EPYC 7443 24-Core @ 2.85Ghz (depends on different location? )

  • Any plans for storage servers in Australia?

  • Recently purchased their Black Friday 2023 - AMD Compute 32 GB - T1 in London, it was setup within a few hours of placing the order. I've opened a ticket requesting BGP sessions.

    Here's the YABS output, for anyone curious:

  • Helio. iam still shopping for an improvment to my last year E5 in NY. :)

    Hats of to the Hosthatch team for all the speedy delivery times we hear about. Awesome when companies remove friction. it makes me cheer.

    Server is awesome and cant wait for the year ahead.

    cheers

    Nice network in London.

    Installing Ubuntu 23.10 from netboot.xyz was easy (this seemed a sensible option with the next LTS in April - just wait for cloud-init to timeout)

    Compared to 22.04 - 23.10 uses 1gb less disk & 50mb less RAM - & has a new apparmor security feature for unprivileged namespaces (nice if you run containers)

  • Pulled the trigger on SG-16G, even with 20% surcharge looks like a better deal than buying some ancient dedi at >3x price. :)

    Thanked by 1the_doctor

    Thanks for that information. you deploy containers docker?

    Fresh yabs, i was hoping for a better multicore bench, but probably the best i can get for $10/month in SG.

    Thanks for that information. you deploy containers docker?

    I prefer 'rootless' (unprivileged) podman to docker - podman can generate service files for starting services (rather than running a daemon as you need to with docker) - rootless podman also works well inside unprivileged LXD (as long as the LXD container uses systemd for init).

    I bought a few nodes on the 3yr deal to run a LXD cluster with microceph for the underlying storage. The private networking is perfect for this use case (& also for a kubernetes cluster)

    Looking back at my old invoices - my first node with Hosthatch was 5 years ago. They've always been good value if you don't need support. There's never been any problems with their nvme nodes on RAID10.

    sounds like something very useful.. need to learn :-)

    I don't believe forcing people to switch to a higher priced service will make anyone happy, so we will instead offer an upgrade path where existing users can pay the difference and get a new server instead.

    Will that be possible for promotional storage plans? Also could you share any ETA and pricing for this upgrade if possible?

    My comment was meant to be for promotional plans. If you want to move to a storage VM with RAID10 in LA, AMS or SGP, please open a ticket and we will quote you the cost. Once we have new RAID10 nodes in all storage locations, we will offer the upgrade to all customers via email.

    Yes, it should be seamless from the customer's perspective, and yes VAT will be collected for EU customers.

    You can run any OS since its a KVM VM. Windows performance on storage VMs might be abysmal but that is up to you to decide.

    @Detruire said: Do you plan to discontinue the old plans for customers who don't wish to take such a path? $/TB is more important than redundancy to some of us, and if wasn't for the performance implications of shared single disks, I'd prefer JBOD over any kind of RAID that the provider didn't trust.

    >

    We do not plan to discontinue them. The problem with offering such plans is that people will almost always choose the lowest $/TB, and then later there will be more threads about "HostHatch lost all my data".

    Our cost for doing RAID10 is almost double what it is as compared to RAID50/60 (losing 2/4 drives in 36 drive server, vs losing 18), but it is much more safe and everyone sleeps better, and we are not passing on the complete cost to the users.

    Doing niche services just makes things worse when it comes to providing support.

    @hosthatch I'm currently on old 3TB plan from 2019 BF. Should I create ticket and maybe I will get some good beautiful offer or better by current BF 2 TB plan (I feet into it) ? What possible to expect from "offer upgrade".

    The second question: should I notify with ticket that I will not renew old server if I will buy new one? Or simply not pay for invoice?

    Storage Plan with higher bandwidth I think will be nice! And maybe for the same BF price or close!

  • @hosthatch said:

    In the original post, you mentioned that RAID-10 storage may be available later at other locations. Is New York a possibility? Or perhaps a promotion once RAID-10 is rolled out to new locations? :)

    Also, just out of curiosity, what are you planning to do with your previous generation Intel E5-based NVMe nodes?

  • @hosthatch Please check ticket 132912 urgently.

  • @hosthatch said:

    Some upgraded specs like
    2 vCores (100% dedi, 200% burst)
    4GB RAM
    65GB disk

    or

    3 vCores (300% dedicated)
    12GB RAM
    100GB disk

    The first idea is quit similar to the existing offer but slighly pumped up and the second would be a no-brainer if the price is not too high.

  • I mean, if you sold the following - which is hardware equivalent to the listed 10TB plan, if I understand correctly - I'd have ordered one as soon as I saw it the money transferred to my debit card. ;)

    6 CPU cores
    20 TB dedicated disk (i.e. entire physical disk in pass-through to the VM)
    16 GB RAM
    120 TB bandwidth
    $450 per 2 years
