    I have used this service -- The company I work for even utilizes OnApp -- however I think the interface has some bugs to be worked out. I encountered being provisioned in locations other than the one I chose while the panel still would proclaim it was provisioned where it was supposed to and bill you at the rate for the location you chose (one such instance resulted in being provisioned on a Hypervisor in a complete different country, with incorrect resource allocation and charging me more than the server of such spec cost in that location). I also encountered situations where the site would say servers are available in a location only to fill out the provisioning form and be met with an error stating no more resources were available in that location, yet the location would remain showing as available. Also, the performance of the low cost locations, especially those outside the US leave something to be desired. Not sure if it was abuse or overselling of the location but I found network performance sub-optimal. Sure, the locations over $10 are generally reliable, but the amount of resources you get with them is pretty sad at the price point for services outside the US. I still have credits sitting unused in their system because I just got tired of the lack of performance from the lower cost servers.

    If you don't have a need for large amount of resources in some exotic locations, it can be Okay. If you have a lot of money to spend and want to buy the larger packages it may also work out better. Though the exotic locations you would most likely want to try are quite expensive and generally only include only ~50Gb bandwidth at the entry level, which isn't much for any project, and adding additional bandwidth is quite costly.

    In theory its a great idea, so far the execution of it leaves a bit to be desired. I am interested to hear what others have to say about their experience, maybe these things have improved in the past 2 weeks since last I checked?

    My 2 cents.

    Cheers!

    I'll give you a good reason: the CP's unfinished and missing some very basic functionality. E.g., you can't reload the OS. Only option is to delete and create a new instance with a new IP.

    I'm not sure if they've stopped development on the panel or what because they've supposedly been working on that particular feature for over a year.

    It's a real shame because the instances themselves in some of the locations (like the SoftLayer ones) are quite good.

  • The Norway location with more than 50GB bandwidth looked interesting. Unfortunately, getting segmentation faults on Geekbench which has worked on every other machine of mine so far on CentOS 6.

    My 1024 MB machine also has 650 MB usable, with the explanation the rest is reserved for system upgrades in real-time, which seems odd. (374 MB missing)

    Was looking forward to another Norway backup server, but I think I'll be sticking with TerraCloud after the first month.

  • How long does it take to build an instance?

  • Ok, it would appear that whilst there are some very good offerings from the likes of SoftLayer the actual implementation and delivery of the system is shit. Best avoided then unless for non essential things, which kind of defeats the purpose.

  • The reload OS functionality is coming soon, it was missing because support for it via the federation was not complete, we are also working on additional IP support.

    Hoping this will fix my Norway machine, which segfaults on a 64-bit program that works everywhere else (Geekbench) - Works fine on 'Uptime Alliance's' ATL machine.

    My 1024 MB machine is also missing 374 MB in Norway, while only 5 MB in ATL (same company)

    Filed a ticket, but told that was normal. I'm not sure if if it is.

    @Kris This is one of the locations I had issues with. They did not provision the correct resources for me either. The network was abysmal usually having less than 100Mbit throughput and just felt like the whole hypervisor was oversold (most likely the cause of your segfaults also). The Norway location is actually one of the main reasons I tried it. I wasn't impressed.

    I am not sure why you would need resources held back from you to be able to upgrade, we sell OnApp VMs and I am not familiar with the need to cheat a customer out of a percentage of their ram for any reason, so that is defiantly odd to me. If you sell a bill of goods that is what you should get, not -x%, are they the mob or something, taking their cut off the top? I kid, but c'mon.

    @NullMind so what is the deal with the resources and how they are allocated cause this seems quite sketchy to me?

    Cheers!

    Using their Uptime Alliance in Norway, it's alright I suppose. Pretty cheap for that area.
