Had me worried with the thread title, i thought they were closing!
Mine just got set up.
Is this OpenVZ resold from KVM?
ITS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, it's mentioned earlier in the thread.
Thanks Anthony for the assistance getting this setup. This is going to be a bit of fun and I hope I don't run into too many nasty surprises.
To answer the questions mentioned here:
It's not nested OpenVZ. It's OpenVZ on bare metal.
DDOS mitigation is included via Black Lotus like all Sydney services with Ransom IT.
10% tax is goods and sales tax (like value added tax) which Australian businesses are required to charge all clients for services or products sold from within Australia.
The containers aren't capped and my servers in Sydney share a gigabit uplink but in reality apart from a few content providers at Equinix or on the same network in Sydney you probably won't see over 100mbit speeds.
Only nested location is JP.
The only difference with AU is that it's provided by @Oliver /RansomIT.
Kudos to him for joining the Spirit!
Thanks @Oliver
just got one.
Bam 20 minute setup....
On another note the girlfriend was wondering why i was bouncing around the house lol. This may be why...
Pretty nice! Wonder if LEA bought one of these, I'm sure he's still in the hobby..
See, I was thinking off offering something like this but I couldn't figure out how it would be viable not offering support if someone complained to consumer affairs.
Telling someone to go visit the LES forum is supporting them; especially if they agreed to the terms at sign up.
@Oliver you are amazing!
I know.
CPU capped? How much do you get in
I got one as well!
exactly what do ppl use these small vps for? besides proxy, vpn...
Reverse Proxy, DNS, just about anything that can benefit from geolocation or clustering; even if the latency is great [ such as content distribution, etcetera. ]
Monitoring from different geographical locations!
A lot of people are getting in to the idea of using them as stupidly cheap HA, i.e. you have you application/site hosted in 5 locations at the same time with replication and fail over.
its usefull for that, also a little CDN.
Mkay, that's about the best result I have ever seen
Probably the 800 MHz thing is the processor's low-power mode.
I'm currently setting up a wiki that replicates between 3 different locations.
Using Cloudflare to round robin them.
As a proof of concept I used my 64mb NL vps as a wordpress blog. (Gone now due to a reinstall).
I have my newsreader in Dallas.
I used to have my eggdrop on the NL node but that vps is now used as testing stuff and reinstalls happen very often.
There are so many people happy with this (including me), however the display cabinet is still empty except a few. How about we fill it? I'm always curious what other people use it for.

Yep most people tend to just post what they did in the form of how-to's instead, hence the wiki being pulled together
I've made notes on the steps I made regarding the wiki setup since that is sort of "advanced".
Will post that when its up and running.
If anyone wants to run a speedtest with this location
Yes its speedstep.. when you're actually processing something the CPU freq goes to full speed which is 3.30GHz..
If you have two putty sessions open you can use
watch -n1 lscputo monitor the speed of the CPU
