Comments
No IPv6 at all? "Storage" useage only?
KVM @ 0.03/GB sounds nice, depending on where it's located.
No IPv6...
It would be for whatever you feel like using the space for. Obviously don't bash the disk, but if it's simple file serving or repository space that's fine.
Unmetered ports a little low, but looks fine. Like to know the location(s).
@AstroProfunis - Probably start in Kansas City with expansion to LA or ATL later on. The unmetered ports provide more total usable bandwidth. If we raised them above that we're just handing away more than double the bandwidth.
I know your KC location isn't Gbit, but when you expand the storage packages to your Gbit locations, could the metered BW be on 1Gbps?
@ihatetonyy - No reason why not... so yes.
Can be used for anything right? It's just a high storage VPS?
I'd definitely buy one, probably KVM 2 or 3. Would you be offering yearly options?
Nice offer
Added to my list if I need it
@jcaleb - Yes you can use it for anything legal in the USA. Obviously if your bashing the disk and effecting other people that would be a no-go.
@Roph - Yes.
Any chance of internal IPs a la BuyVM?
Is the storage on some sort of RAID?
Prices look decent IMHO
Prices are interesting, but the 64 Mb Ram of the smaller KVM is not enough to setup a working iSCSI target. It should be 128 Mb.
If you could bump memory on level 1 to at least 96 MB and offer some yearly discount that would be really nice offer.
+1 on this. I fear there'd be issues with 64MB, especially with KVM. I've struggled with 64MB OpenVZ storage/backup boxes....
100 GB of Storage
64 MB of RAM
0.5 CPU Core
5 Mbps Unmetered or 500 GB at 100 Mbps
$2.99 /Mo.
I would definitely grab one of those. Possibly even storage level 2.
Interesting. RAID?
RAID 10 will be available if we ever expand to California or Atlanta. Kansas will have RAID 1.
When might these become available?
Thanks! It's just that some providers limit storage server for backup use only.
I understand that HDD can be linked via RAID, what about CPU - overselling? how many accounts per node?
@BlueVM these are really competitive pricing. Please do let me know the specs of the node? (I know this is still not ready, but from the top of your head).
Regards
As I can see to get profitable the VPS node, need at least 100+ accounts per server. I haven't seen any servers 25TB HDDs with RAID-10 and 8 x 4 Intel Xeon CPU under $100 per months yet.
Storage VPS will be light on CPU usage. I am absolutely sure that any new E3xxx CPU would handle hundreds of those storage VPSes without a problem. However the HDDs will be a bottleneck for the hundreds of VMs.
We have deals with our DCs for high spaced disks.
It will be dual L5420 (our standard nodes) or E3s.
Hopefully sometime soon, if we get everything planned out.
