said: however from time to time I see LET members looking for czech located vps and this seems like a good opportunity to get it for decent price

Just curious. What is the advantage to use a Czech located VPS?
Is there something about 'offshore'?

I don't think so but you know, people live in this part of the world too

hahahaha. Yes, you are right.
I imagined it was related to something like Sweden and others countries with "free internet" (anonymous + freedom).

Tks!

Well, is there really something special about sweden? (except PRQ and other like minded host?)

I mean something in the legal system that make their internet more 'free' than it is in czech republic or other parts of the world?

Nah, it's all just marketing from some interested parties in the past which people blindly believe. Internet in SE is even more monitored than other parts of Europe and legislation doesn't help either.

Now that I have my Debian VPS up and running: nice and fast! :-)
But my VPS is on the Opteron node which means: no FreeBSD... (just search for "freebsd trap 9 amd")

Neoon

What about running Windows 7 on it, would need a firewall what blocks everything right to make that thing secure.

0xdragon what's interesting is difference in results posted in this thread. I got similar results as those posted by trexos (1.00MB/s - 3.00MB/s) after optimisation, while alexvolk posted 10x faster network speeds, but way lower I/O throughput speed.

Most of us are hosted at "Xeon(R) CPU E31235" node while alex seems to have VPS at two nodes (same Xeon and another AMD Opteron) with similar results at both so it must be something else.
Could it be distro related? (Debian Wheezy 64 bit, virtio here). I am wondering what distros alexvolk use.

Sent them an email with my benchmark

Hello,

the network is optimized to use threads, co if you download by eg. 5 threads, bandwidth will be largely greater than in one download thread.

So what they say is that if you run 5 speedtests at once you should see similar results as with one?
I am actually not so much bothered with those results, I just hope that it will be stable and it will be fine for me.

@Spirit I've seen you post quite a few providers that I've never heard of before. I'd really like to see a list (maybe open a thread) of "little known providers" in areas such as these

If anyone's interested, the coupon xkse still seems to work, though I'm unable to order because they don't accept my phone number nor zip code.

shrubbles

@mpkossen Same problem here

shrubbles

I've managed to discover how to enter a vallid telphone and zip code.
The telephone mush have 9 digits separated by a space by every three digits, and the ZIP code must have 5 digits, first by three numbers, a space and after 2 numbers.

I am trying to complete the order, when I try to pay via paypal i keep being redirected to a page with this error: looks like we got no XML document

shrubbles

I've gone far this time, but I couldn't complete the transaction.

trexos

Has anyone canceled yet? Is a email enough?
