Anyone using a VPS from Dacentec?

They have a 1GB VPS (OpenVZ) with 1.5GB burst RAM, 25GB HDD and 1TB b/w for $2/mo or $20/yr

Anyone using them?

    I should say that "Go for it".
    They're very solid for dedis & I have to say that it would be same for VPS :)

    That's what I'm thinking. I don't really need a VPS in the US, but I've heard good things and the price looks good.

    Try it out yourself for a month. For $2, you can't really lose much, other than time if it doesn't turn out good.

    I have used it before 6 months

    Good Network ..

    Might look into one as a USA proxy for watching US TV.

    maybe its time mark brings a super disk sized vps yearly deal.

    I considered it but there are a lot of VPS providers until $20/year hosted with them and now I have a few colocated and rented servers there including my VPSs with other providers.

    EDIT: I just noticed the prices in the first post. A few months ago their VPSs were pretty pricey (I think their cheapest VPS was like $5/month with less than 1GB of RAM, not 100% sure though).

    I have a dedicated server with them. I have nothing but great experience with their server and services.

  • i have one. what questions do you have @hostnoob

    Seriously, don't buy it then. If you don't need it, it's not only a (minor) cash drain but it's also a time drain, even if you only spend a few hours securing it and leave it sit idle.

    On the other hand if you're just looking for a green circle in the US, I whole-heartedly support your purchase.

    A freevps benchmark would be answer for most of us LET users's answers :D
    We already know very well about their support.

    Just wondering about uptime, reliability, support, performane etc..

    $20/yr is cheap for (effectively) 2.5GB RAM though, and they seem like a pretty reliable provider (although more for dedis).

  • hostnoob said: Just wondering about uptime, reliability, support, performane etc..

    as you can see with the geekbench single core is quite bad but overall good performance. uptime not really monitoring.

  • I have a VPS with them aswell. And yes, they are stable.

  • one downside i forgot is they do not support tun/tap

    They have also fast support, tun/tap via ticket and no rdns.

  • emperor said: tun/tap via ticket and no rdns.

  • perhaps @dacentec can confirm

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    tun/tap should be available from support

  • dacentec said: tun/tap should be available from support

    since when? can you get this enabled for me?

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    Send an email to [email protected] or open a ticket in your portal.

  • Dacentec is good but when using them in the past. for Selling Shared Hosting Services. they would null route IPs just for getting a complaint. and what ever network segment I was on would drop out constantly.

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    @jmckeag12, you should try us again. Our network has vastly improved and our DMCA policy is a bit more flexible for resellers / ISPs.

    Alright what about DDoS Mitigation I remember asking several months ago. and was told that it is in development.

    I was impressed with the speeds of hooking up a IPMI and general tasks. fairly quick response times :)

    DDoS filtering is already in trial, we hope to release a product soon.

    Is it really true that you nullroute without giving the customer any time to remove the DMCAed content first? That's really the only bad thing I could find in reviews about you guys but those reviews were 1+ years old so I wasn't sure if this policy has changed or not, the TOS doesn't mention it.
