    I'm thinking of ordering another one, on Dallas location =)

  • LAKidLAKid Member

    LA node is so slow that I just gave up, no reason to keep it, anybody wants it?
    Let me know.

    Let me know.

    just wait about one or two weeks later... until every one not doing any benchmarks

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    In LA, its just the network that is a bit slow at times. But IO is okay.

  • dszdsz Member

    Got one in LA two days ago. Network and IO is fair, rather slow sometimes.

    Cannot be accessed at the moment, either by SSH or HTTP, but ping is ok. I guess the node is highly overloaded.

    Have you opened a ticket for we can look into this for you?

    Will urpad distribute us later on their nodes for better performance? Perhaps they cant look at it yet now because of too many orders coming.

    Edit: not for me, I'm happy with mine. But because just reading above comments

  • darknessendsdarknessends Member

    1GB RAM guranteed or burst ??

    It has recovered now but download is slow (~500KB/s from cachefly). Perhaps the node is out of bandwidth just now.

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @dsz Having the same problem here, you can tell that the nodes are very much oversold.

  • LAKidLAKid Member

    I'm moving stuff out of here, can't trust the node.
    Wasting money and time. So pissed off.

    They didn't help you resolve performance problems?

    1024 MB RAM Guaranteed

    it's clearly written on first post

    @jcaleb It's ok now, but this happened the other day, opened ticket, and resolved.
    But it keeps happening, like today, and it will happen again tomorrow, can't take a chance anymore.

  • ChrisMillerChrisMiller Member

    There were some abusers across some nodes(mainly savory), which we promptly addressed. If anyone is still experiencing any performance issues please contact our support team. Everything should be back to normal.

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @FTNChris I hate the fact that you guys don't allow game servers, even after I've clearly listed reasons on why this wouldn't go against your fair-use agreement. Unbelievable.

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    @LAKid Thanks, I might have not noticed performance issues as I only use it at night after work.

    Game servers are allowed on windows VPS's only. Game servers have never been allowed and they never will on OpenVZ services.

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @FTNChris So stupid, even after giving you valid reasons on why this wouldn't affect system performance in any way. This is why folks should stay away from Urpad.

    Give someone a pass, and everyone will want a pass.

    We bend over backwards constantly for our clients as much as possible but we must keep everything fair for everyone. Game servers such as Minecraft have always been disallowed per out TOS.

    Just because one person comes up with a reason why they believe something should be allowed doesn't mean we will allow it. We have the right to deny service to anybody for what ever reason like any other business no matter the profession or service they provide as a business we always have this right.

    @FTNChris "Gameservers (e.g., Minecraft) are prohibited on our servers due with the level of CPU abuse we've seen originating from them." That's the thing, I've made it very clear that my intentions for such a server are very much for personal use only, keeping CPU usage down to a minimum, which is why I requested to be able to do this.

    Why not find another host?

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @jcaleb Would happily do that, if not for the 2 years worth of service that I paid for. Yes, I did read the TOS, but the TOS also said that I could do it if permission was gained from URPad. Considering my very reasonable circumstances, I thought it wouldn't be a problem. Clearly I was wrong.

  • dszdsz Member

    @FTNChris Perhaps you should put on some limits on the boxes to prevent abusers so every can share the node equally. I looked at the /proc/user_beancounters, and it seemed that most values are currently set at the maximum.

    I/O is ok now :) but network is still slow.

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    Anyone ordered in Dallas? How's performance?

  • arieonlinearieonline Member
