Popularity = unstable? Seems like it indicates the opposite.

How come other vps are available if you ran out of IPs ?

Also what will be the new subnet ip range ?

aaaaaa, we have more sub-net's and services are assigned to different sub-nets.

@venurgopal said: Also what will be the new subnet ip range ?

We got new one especially for these services. (the custom VPS ones )

@jsg said: Hmmm, is there another way to use the backup, sth. like (s)ftp, scp ... I'm asking because the current solution doesn't look trustworthy to me, especially when not using linux.

You can install any backup software and do your backups also.

This is actually tested by some customers, you can divide the add-on disk into multiple smaller disks.

Disclaimer, this will delete the current disk and all data on it so please pay attention.

To avoid confusion:
Does that mean that the data on the drive/volume/partition that gets backed up get deleted?
-or-
does that mean that whatever data is on the backup (target) drive gets deleted, which seems to suggest that currently (a) only all drives (boot + additional storage) can be backed up in one swoop (as opposed to only this drive or that partition), and (b) there can only be 1 backup volume and whenever a backup is done any earlier backup get deleted/overwritten?

You can delete the add-on drive in your panel, and add it again with different size ( total size of drives cannot exceed the one on the contract for that service )

For example, you can delete the 5TB drive and add 2 x 2.5 TB ones if you wish.

So, in short, one can treat it like a drive, on which one can create partition tables of any type one likes (e.g. DOS, GPT, ...) and as many partitions as one likes (just like on real disk drive, right?

We never had a problem with it so far. only thing/limitation is it cannot do backup and restore for specific drives, only on the whole vps and it's drives.

I guess (and got) that that answers my question above, but as this concerns a vital question (nobody likes risking to lose all data of a drive) it can't harm to really make it perfectly clear.

For the moment we can offer only this option. We are punishing the developers to offer something else, I doubt this will change in the near future.

Frankly, I'd certainly prefer to be able to chose which drive or partition I want to backup - BUT: As at least the additional storage is RAID based and considering the price IMO what you can and do offer in terms of backup looks quite acceptable to me.
My only remaining concern is that the backup seems to only work via the panel, which I dislike a lot because I usually use the panel mainly or only for install/setup.

Whatever, all in all nice offer! I like it (as well as the fact that you respond relatively quickly and friendly)

Thank you!

P.S. If I may, how about my question re. "how about additional storage coming with additional traffic?". You see, If I'd take say, a 2 TB additional storage I would want to know that I've got the traffic to actually up- or download to/from it, and as the smallest traffic add-on package´is 5TB I'd feel that I'd have to buy way more traffic than I need. On the other hand, a cumulative traffic allowance like "you get traffic equal to the size of all additional storage for free up to 3 times per year or after each period of 4 months during which you stayed within your normal traffic limit"

Logic: One doesn't transfer a whole big database or gazillions of images or whatever twice a week but only rarely, so the normal traffic volume is fine. But occasionally (1 to 3 times/yr) one might need to transfer large amounts of data, so it would be nice to have a cheap solution for that.

Q: currently (a) only all drives (boot + additional storage) can be backed up in one swoop.
A: Yes, current Backup solution implemented can only do all drives in 1 swoop.

Q: So, in short, one can treat it like a drive, on which one can create partition tables of any type one likes (e.g. DOS, GPT, ...) and as many partitions as one likes (just like on real disk drive, right?

A: yes, you can divide the add-on drive into either:

1- partitions inside the OS - this is out of the box
2- you can delete it from the VPS panel and re-create it as 1-2-3 physical drives to the OS, in any combination you like

Is it possible to reconfigure this plan in the future after buying it with these same prices?

Yes, just open a ticket.

This is also valid for all our services that have the add-on available on the webpage.

Can confirm the ability to reconfigure the plan. Host-c exceeded my expectations. Thanks again

Small info for the new sub-net these services are on.

185.207.125.0/24

Slowly it is getting updated in GEO-IP servers world wide to correct location ( Romania )

https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup/185.207.125.1

IPapi.co started showing it correctly few hours ago. But it will take weeks for all to show the location correctly ( formerly was France )
