What is Cloudat Cost Pro exactly, and when would I want to use it

nekkidnekkid Member

Hello, I got an email from one of my hosts (CAC), and I cant quite figure out what the offering is. My service was down for a 3 days and its finally back up today, so I am trying to understand if migrating to this new Pro stack helps in these kinds of issues.

1) Has anyone used the Pro stack, I am looking for some information on what the CAC PRO (Cloudat *Cost) pro is.

2) I got an email offering a switch us over to pro, are we able to consolidate our servers resources, what exactly is it offering? Am I able to consolidate and add my resources to my servers on demand? and assign them as I choose. Does everything go over into one pool?

3) will there be monthly costs on this model, after the switch or will they honor the previous lifetime pricing

4) Am I able to still keep some of my regular servers as VPS servers, or is it an all or nothing migration?

5) What happens to the current images, and data from the machines running now that we have?

thanks

    I'm pretty sure they won't give something for free. Bait-and-switch?

    also makes me wonder if they use SSD..

    root@debian:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/testfile bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync
    1+0 records in
    1+0 records out

    Wow that's enlightening, so its not SSD, but they advertised SSD!!
    how can you tell the diff between SSD and reg, how big would the diff be

    On the Intel Proc - how far is the setback. I mean what do modern hosts use typically?

    That CPU is just fine. But that disk IO is horrific.

    no it's not it's a pile of crap lol hence why they use it (it's 5 years old) and performs badly. quite frankly any host using them is a cheapo

    the intel cpu is old, very old (5/6 years) and performs quite badly single thread performance is very weak. but you can get this cpu from ebay for about £25
