Comments
Smaller packages available?
There is a 256MB package available, I guess it would be ~$3 with the discount code.
My bad! I forgot to add the 256 plan. Doing it right now!
@Steven_F already out of stock ?
London location is out of stock.
London is out for a bit, as is Atlanta. Give me a minute to find out.
You can view current stock at https://billing.centarra.com/vps/stock (you can also request that with Accept:application/json for a JSON version if you want to snipe a London VPS when one becomes available).
We're migrating our London location to a new facility, so we're not deploying additional capacity until we've completed the migration.
London is limited stock for now. We are planning to restock it next month, at which point we will launch another sale most likely.
Since this looks a little ambiguous... what he means is that we are planning to migrate it to a datacenter in the London metro with policies that are more friendly to virtualization providers.
Sure, we allow migration across regions. Just open a ticket when you see stock.
But I wouldn't bother at the moment, as London is e3's.
Darn I just bought a vServer in tortois.es but have not applied the 30% discount. Just saw this now.
Nice UI and easy to use.
Ordered 2 vServers.
Been with them since the beginning of this month. So far I love it. Their Automatic CPU SLA is the best
Although I am still waiting for additional Atlanta vServers to be available. Just checking every now and then
Looking forward for next months sale
Welcome to the family!
If you'd like, I can write up a script that will send you a text message when there is stock in Atlanta.
Oh thank you. My username is the same. I still have like credits that is unused because I wanted Atlanta. Anyway I am going to update my profile. I wanted 3 more vServers (a total of 8 vServers) but I think I want them all in Atlanta. Will be adding credits for them in the coming days. I use Bitcoins to pay.
Edit: Profile Update with the correct Phone Number.
I don't know if you'll get three in Atlanta. Honestly, Dallas is probably the best location right now. SSD cached, better CPUs, and we own everything.
I have 2 Dallas and they are not really Up to par in performance with Atlanta though. I monitor them everyday.
All of my servers are in CPU SLA bulk to ensure I do not affect other users and very satisfied with the SLA. Anyway here are the performance as I monitor them:
Dallas : 0.003-0.004
London : 0.004
Atlanta : 0.005-0.006
Can existing customers take advantage of the offer?
Yes, you can. Just apply the code in the Tortoise panel.
@ricdem99 Looking into something for you.
The bulk SLA means you're placed in a pool with other abusers. If you have better performance in Atlanta it's simply because you got lucky and were one of the few abusers on that node.
You're not supposed to be CPU mining on a VPS, it is abusive plain and simple.
any benchmarks?
Let me see if I can find one.
Sure. Thanks
btw, mind explaining bout your multi class CPU SLA? I've pmed kaniini over the other side but he's not online yet as of now.
Sorry, I haven't been able to find one. I should have just spun up an instance! DOH! @kaniini will be able to explain it than me. I'm not 100% sure on the technical details. But basically, if you CPU mine/abuse, you'll be added to a shared pool between CPU miners/abusers.
I get the idea. But how is the priority being set for shared pool of abusers?
The priority is the same as it is if you weren't an abuser, i.e. the more ram you have, the more priority you have. At this point, you're just on a different set of CPU cores.
This has an ironic, and amusing effect: some really silly miners go and buy 10GB RAM VPS to attempt trumping the other miners.
