    @johnkoozle - When will you remove port 25 block?

    Hi John.
    I'm starting to feel a bit disenchanted - nowhere in the ordering process can I find anything about blocking Port 25. I've paid for 12 months service and can't run a mail server effectively on my vps. When will you be sorting this deficiency out?

    I'm sorry you feel that way :(
    I will investigate when we can remove the block

    I ordered one of 512M at $6/year for over a week now. It works so far pretty reliably. I am not a heavy user but it at least is as good or better than other low cost VPSs that has lower spec and/or higher price. I think it will a good choice for PBXes and or light use mail servers.

    Is port 25 still being blocked? inbound or outbound? Is it possible to run a mail server to accept inbound mail from the internet? I won't be sending mail.

  • jeromezajeromeza Member

    Any reviews? Considering using these guys.

    Thanks,

    Mini review:
    Bought a $12/year 'expert' vps in December for light use

    VPS was available almost immediately after order completed.

    Installed Ubuntu

    Multiple attempts to install Virtualmin failed (with 2 different Ubuntu versions) - seems BSDUTILS is missing from the available Ubuntu distros.

    Performance/reliability all seem pretty good.
    Server bear

    Only real gripe so far is that Port 25 (incoming and outgoing from what I can tell) is (still) blocked so can't run a mail server.

    Assuming John sorts out port 25 fairly soon, it is great VFM

    The block on 25,465 has been removed however there are strict limits in place.

    @jtcx said: I signed up for the small one earlier today, and so far, everything looks good. Provisioned instantly, and good results from bench.sh.

    If I sign up for the larger plan with 6 IP's, can I request that they are in different subnets, or as far apart numerically as possible from each other?

    Yes that's no problem.

    I just ordered $6/year, is it possible to upgrade it to $12/year plan and get different subnets, as mentioned by @jtcx? I am planning to host a small mail server for my personal websites. Hope, port 25 is no more blocked now! I can see that it is possible to set rDNS from control panel, that seems pretty kool, though I have not updated it yet.

    OK - my mail server now works - thanks.

    What are the "strict limits" ?

    Yes this is possible
    Port 25 is now allowed!

    Undisclosed sorry, however any legit mail service shouldnt hit this.

    OK - as long as I can set up and operate email accounts for 'normal' use. I have no interest in any form of bulk mail (sending or receiving).

    I have got a IP Systems a couple of hours ago and still I cannot access SolusVM (wrong username and password with provided credentials). I opened I ticket and they don't reply to me..is that normal?

  • ledzgioledzgio Member

    Well I have a certain rush and simply they are not replying me...as a start its not bad!

  • kaniinikaniini Member

    Ordered one with PayPal and their IPN seems to be broken.

    This was resolved. You used characters that are not allowed.

    i signed up for the 256mb vps, so far i'm amazed with the performance. I have had other VPSes OpenVZ, KVM, Xen and even Dedicated servers. This one is so fast because of SSD.

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.9998 s, 358 MB/s

    other times i've got disk copy speeds upto 450 MB/s

    setup was instantaneous after the payment and i was able to re-install OS in seconds. I would totally recommend this VPS to anyone who's looking and the price is unbeatable at this performance IMHO.

    ./speedtest_cli.py

    Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
    Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
    Testing from Centarra Networks (198.52.189.198)...
    Selecting best server based on latency...
    Hosted by T-Mobile (Dallas, TX) [0.66 km]: 2.633 ms
    Testing download speed........................................
    Download: 436.59 Mbits/s
    Testing upload speed..................................................
    Upload: 210.29 Mbits/s

    i'm pretty happy with the above results :>
