[VPSDime Birthday Special] - 512MB RAM - 7GB SSD - 2TB Traffic for $7/year

edited September 2014 in Offers

Today, it's been 365 days since VPSDime started its journey. VPSDime's foundation was laid on Low End Talk soil. Fellow members made this brand what it is today. All your patronage is sincerely appreciated.

To give back to the community and celebrate our birthday, we have decided to deploy some E3 nodes in our flagship datacenter provider, Incero in Dallas, TX and make a crazy sale.

We love you guys!

The Plan Specs:

OpenVZ Container Virtualization
1 vCPU (E3 1230v2)
512MB Memory
256MB vSwap
7GB Pure SSD Space (RAID1)
1 IP Address (IPv6 to be added this week)
2TB Traffic
1Gbit Port speed

The Order Link

https://vpsdime.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=43

The Catch

Mail ports are blocked. So, you'd need to use a third party API to send emails like Mandrill. Mandrill comes with free 12K emails per month.

    I'm so so tempted, but I just bought a box from drserver with 250GB HDD for $15 a year and now I only have $5 left in my PayPal :(

  • I'm guessing this is OpenVZ?

    Yes, sorry, forgot to mention it. Added to the post now.

    Special offer from: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/33987/any-provider-that-can-beat-or-have-a-package-similar-to-rn-s-80gb-for-15-a-year

    Anyway, bought one from @serverian (thanks!) and the IO sits at 400 MB/s with these flags:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

    Memory used for the minimal template OOTB is refreshingly low:

    root@core1:~# free -m
                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:          6144         12       6131          0          0          7
    -/+ buffers/cache:          4       6139
    Swap:            0          0          0
    

    Partition layout on Debian 7 minimal:

    root@core1:~# df -h
    Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/simfs       30G  190M   30G   1% /
    tmpfs           615M   24K  615M   1% /run
    tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
    tmpfs           1.2G     0  1.2G   0% /run/shm
    

    Speedtest:

    Download speed from CacheFly: 108MB/s
    Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 30.2MB/s
    Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 95.3MB/s
    Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 10.2MB/s
    Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, NL: 10.0MB/s
    Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 32.7MB/s
    Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 8.81MB/s
    Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 39.6MB/s
    Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 45.2MB/s
    Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 61.0MB/s
    

    CPU shows as being: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz

    Personally, this is my third service with just the VPSDime brand, and it's always rock solid. They just need to implement hourly billing so that I can destroy and create instances (which I do manually by buying one for a month then cancelling, annoying Oktay).

    EDIT: Wait a second... :O

    Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VPSDIME :)

    Edit: These benchmarks were done while @serverian made an error with provisioning giving away a lot more resources, the revised ones are below. :(

    However, the network tests above are still correct.

    Take it dude, just take it. I'm not complaining at all :D

    Will make an awesome addition to the tinc network for my major project!

  • 0xdragon said: Take it dude, just take it. I'm not complaining at all :D

    Hell yeah! Not complaining at all.

  • Guys, I'm sorry. I've made a mistake on the plan selection on WHMCS. So some of you got our VD6GB plan instead. I've fixed these. Sorry for the heart attack :p

    Well, Oktay JUST found out.

  • Got one, not sure for what purpose yet, need project ideas now.

  • @serverian said: Today, it's been 365 days since VPSDime started its journey

    So that means I've been a paying VPSDime customer for a year? Why not add another box..

    Offloaded SQL available?

    Offloaded SQL is not available for these plans unfortunately since the servers are on a different VLAN.

    Doesn't seem to be available for me with just these on my account, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it if you already have it on your account.

    EDIT: :(

    Ah ok, ordered anyways. Any plans for Offloaded SQL and/or Backups in Seattle?
