What do you want from a LowEnd VPS...

edited June 2014 in General

As the title said, we are looking at what to offer our clients moving further into 2014.

Based on previous feedback and speaking with customers you want:

~SSD

~DDoS Protection

~More IPv6

~More Unique Locations (Not Buffalo/Dallas/NYC)

~Offloaded Services (DNS/MySQL)

~Lower Prices (Well some of you!)

Simply put what would you want from a LowEnd box that you haven't got yet or had just how you wanted previously?

    More unique locations, non US locations.

    Thanked by 1sirmbhe
  • So cheap and resource rich that I have no choice but to impulse buy and never actually use.

    Thanked by 1netomx
  • More unique locations. Non US locations and no ColoCrossing locations.

    1. Uptime
    2. Decent Support
    3. Offloaded MySQL will be fantastic
    4. Less Swapyness

    We already drove prices down to .50c a month how much lower do you want us to go?

    Some privacy, ie xen or kvm.
    Except a very few use cases, ovz is a deal breaker for me.

    1. KVM;
    2. Uncommon locations, i.e. non US/EU;
    3. Proper IPv6 deployment, i.e. a routed /56 or /48 (ideally with rDNS delegated to my nameservers).

    (actually #3 is a bit at odds with #2, because if I'm to use a VPS for IPv6 tunneling, then it'll have to be in EU).

    +1 for proper IPV6

    Don't fool yourself into thinking Xen or KVM offer privacy.

    • Stable networking and uptime (looking at buyvm's old switch
    • CPU Performance (don't care num of cores
    • SSD Cached (with not-so-poor performance
    • Some IPv6

    Offloaded SQL is something I was looking for, but after several table crashes on buyvm's MySQL server I decide to go with self-hosted database.

    And hope to get more deals in seattle/fremont area for better latency to Asia.

    • unmetered bandwidth
    • IPv6
    • KVM or Xen (instead of OpenVZ/Virtuozzo)
    • a normal I/O performance, not ridiculous low as on some hosts

    Note the 'some' part.

    1) Reliability. This is both uptime, but also stability of resources. I don't want a 10Gbps line today, and an overloaded 33.6kpbs line tomorrow. Give me a reliable 5Mbps line every day and I'm happy. I don't want 100% uptime this week, and 33.4592% uptime next week, and 69.294% the following, and 99.993% the following. Give me a stable 99.9% or better uptime and I"m happy.


    2) Don't change IPs and/or Datacenters on me. Give me a clean IP, and leave it with me for the duration of my stay.


    3) A pricing option for add-on non-SSD storage. I have a bunch of small sites that don't need SSD speeds. Don't advertise SSD storage, and push yourself into a corner with your pricing where it becomes unsustainable. Give me a $1/mo 3GB SSD VPS, and then give me a $0.01-$0.03/GB option for 5, 10, 25, 50, 100GB or more non-SSD SAN storage.


    4) Don't give me 100TB of Monthly traffic. Delivery what you advertise.


    5) Be nice. :)

    how about TUN/TAP support ? @i83
    its 2014 afterall :P

    edited June 2014

    To summarize what everyone really wants to say: High end specifications and features for a low end price. Especially (but not limited to) a good network speed, powerful processor, stable uptime, and for the dd addicts, a high benchmark.

    Oh and the most important one of all: ACTUAL SUPPORT

    Nah, if it really was 2014, people wouldn't still buy OpenVZ and use the Linux 2.6 kernel.

    Xen PV would be nice, seems like far to many providers are stuck using Openvz. When will ramnode offer Xen PV?? @Nick_A

    You either have privacy, or you don't.

    So by your logic you don't have privacy on a dedicated server either? After all the DC can pull your hard drives and examine their contents.

    "All or nothing" is really a useless way of thinking about this. KVM/Xen do offer at least some barrier from the host's peeking into your affairs, whereas OpenVZ offers none whatsoever. And remember, you can also pretty easily set up full disk or partition encryption on KVM, requiring a password on boot to unlock; while the host can steal that password via keylogging, that will certainly require a deliberate effort way outside the scale of comparison to running a "vzctl enter" on OpenVZ.

    Or y'know, extract the keys from memory ;P your point still stands, though.
