VMWARE vps with 1GB RAM/20GB SSD/2TB traffic in UK/FR/DE/IT/CZ for 12eur/year

Maounique

Got it too, maybe they deliver in batches.
It is in email, though.

Interesting SLA:

Changes to the SLA or the new SLA replacing the previous, always come into force for an indefinite period of time, or until the next amendment or replacement, from the date publication on the page "SPECIFY THE RIGHT PAGE URL".

When going to panel after login: Si é verificato un errore sui nostri sistemi,
ci scusiamo per il disagio arrecato.

bah, it is really borked, I received an email pointing to a lot of 404 pages, i think it is still WIP?

I just received a voucher too but now control panel raises an error.

Maounique

Same here, maybe the LET crowd is there in force :P

try on a different url/DC

if you have:

http://admin.dc1.arubacloud.com/

and it doesn't work, I guess you can try

http://admin.dc2.arubacloud.com/
http://admin.dc3.arubacloud.com/

and so on

I'm impressed with the VPS benchmark which was shown by some members here, and also the price offered by aruba. keep them coming, the benchmark statistic :-)

Do they charge VAT extra?

@tr1cky said:

Yep, they charge it even for people that aren't from the EU. There is a procedure to ask for removal.

Maounique

Hum, the procedure is for those VAT exempted. From this I understand only those which have other reasons not to pay VAT, I gave them my VAT number, company name, etc, system accepted it, it should be done.

mehargags

The VAT is only exempted if you sign up as a COMPANY and not Individual... as per their ticket reply to me

elgs

Disk performance in UK and DE are a tenth of that in other data centers.

mehargags

And they said If I recharge a topup value of atleast Eur10, my voucher credit of Eur10 will also remain there... even after 10 days of voucher expiration period.

(the voucher I got on mail was valid for 10 days only)

--- Now CZ DC showing best I/O and network results ?? should I sign up ?

saibal

For those who already have a VPS with Aruba: Do they allow TUN/TAP and VPN?

William

Its VMWare so they can't disable Tun/Tap....

Maounique

saibal said: For those who already have a VPS with Aruba: Do they allow TUN/TAP and VPN?

I don't see how can they prevent it.

As for the IO, I dont need it, I need network, and CZ sucks.

So which one looks best ? Italy and france seems to be good in my ping from Asian Servers

Maounique

mehargags said: So which one looks best ? Italy and france seems to be good in my ping from Asian Servers

It depends on your location as you noted. For me, CZ would have been best, but it is not so, the network is bad around the world.

mehargags

so stability and uptime was Fr or Italy is good ??

Maounique

Italy should be best since it is home turf, but, for me, Italy already is covered aplenty, so, need something else, as I already have FR, DE, SE, NL, UK and ES, besides, of course, RO, CZ looked like a good choice.

@qq7119 - did you try out the suggestions/steps given by @Geekoine in the earlier post? It may help you throughout the registration process I suppose?

Not sure if it's manual or automated. But a couple of minutes after creating my account and top up through Paypal I got an email with subject: Aruba Cloud - Welcome :Create Account Client + Your first order has been validated
That email contained info on how to log onto their control panel where you create VPS.
Maybe it's manual now(due to all orders) so try to wait an hour or so until the business day start in Italy.

qq7119

Whether it needs a minimum of 10 euros to recharge before they can buy? And complete the contract?

Maounique

it needs 10 Eur so you can keep the free credit beyond 10 days. You can recharge 1.5 Eur if you like.

qq7119

Recharge paypal, we need taxes?

qq7119

paypal successful recharge the money, how the refund, I think it is too complicated transactions, but also the need for manual review, and now 24 hours did not pass, there is no reply message and mail
