Giveaway!

Thank this post for a chance to win a DartNode VPS-1 plan free for one year! It renews at the sale price of $10/yr after that.

1 vCPU
1 GB RAM
10 GB SSD
1 Gbps Unmetered
(I believe the location is Houston, TX)
Free 1-year, then sale price of $10 after that.

I won it in the DartDay Twitch stream but I had already purchased one so I am giving this one away.

Winner will be randomly chosen using random.org and sent a PM on LET with the code. Just open a ticket with DartNode to the Sales department with the code to claim your prize. I will do the drawing in like an hour.

Congrats to @Rero for winning!! I will send you a DM.

I got this and the 4k random write is around 800Kb/s. No, that’s not a typo.

I’m not expecting much from a cheap VPS, but I sure hope it’ll go up a bit over time.

I must be on a wrong node then. I’ll try again next week when the dust settles before bothering them with a ticket. I got this VPS for a hobby project, not a production load, so there’s no rush. I’d definitely prefer the speeds you are getting.

Also, my v4 routing is funky. I’m in Houston and Cogent sends traffic to Dallas before it goes back to Houston. This gives me higher latency than to my Linodes in Dallas.

I second this opinion.

Okay, clarification here: the routing is actually on AT&T and not on Cogent. This isn't strange for AT&T because their IPv4 routing is notoriously bad. As in, consistently bad, and inconsistently inconsistent.

I rely entirely on machine translation for English.
What I thought "honeypot" meant...
...was something pleasant or a delightful surprise.

Maybe next time spend $100 for English class?

I refuse to believe that a chinese user on their 20s,30s on IT sector doesn't understand the concept of honeypot. The direct translation should be 蜜罐/蜂蜜罐 .

In fact, I am not an IT professional; I work in cross-border e-commerce. I gradually ventured into the realm of VPSs because I needed a VPN to access the external internet.

I think you should spend more money in English class, because for VPN i only need $29 a year.
