    Cloud At Cost is in the process of adding additional hardware to support growing demand.

We will begin powering up new fully loaded blade chassis today.

This will speedup server deployments and performance over all.

    Interesting.

    For that price it has to be, isn't it? But hey.. it's a real low end box ;-)

    I noticed that my (idling) debian VPS is reporting using lots of ram, while there is no app to consume this memory:

                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          494M       487M       6.5M       3.2M        14M        98M
-/+ buffers/cache:       375M       119M
Swap:         459M       1.3M       458M

    yeah overselling, but this is something quite above that (than your typical overselling or GVH style)

    :-)

    Nonetheless, I hardly understand why they do that. This pricing make it impossible to get into their running costs (or could they oversell resources enough?) and they give 2 IPv4 per VPS... Maybe they need to justify IP usage?

    Maybe change image also?

    Why should I create, recreate. I paid for the service, I was not provided. virmach on at the same price all clearly working

    I hope you'll get your refund, good luck! It took more than 48 hours for them to create my VPS, since then it works fine. I'll monitor it a bit to see how it goes and if it's reliable enough to host something on. I feel like they deliver orders but it takes a long time as they seem to have a huge queue of vps creation...

    Just found out that it's actually resources you're getting rather than just a VPS, so you can just create servers as long as you have resources. My $17.50/forever purchase could get me 6x 512MB servers. Pretty neat!

    Until you find out that apt-get upgrade takes 2 hours.

    There is a Russian proverb: "miser pays twice." Here this case. It is better to overpay and to use normal service than this shit.

    I've been waiting for over two days for a server to be created.

    yeah there seem to be a huge queue that needs to be created first but in the end it works..

    can't ssh to my vps

    Try rebooting it. Does the trick most of the time. Will take a while to reboot though :)

  • sandrosandro Member

    Now I'm in but to complete a single apt-get install takes ages...

    It's okay, last time I waited a week and half to get "install failed, try again" message.

    Works fine for me, order two of them. Wait two days and tick couple of times reboot and on/off button.

    Best servers ever. Price quality relationship is great.

  • defaultdefault Veteran

    Indeed. Servers are already offline for more than 24 hours. I knew this offer was too good to be true (way to good, impossible odds as too good) but I am a sucker fish and I took the bait. For some reason though I still feel happy, and this is what worries me.

    DC2? Just reboot and you will get another few hours. I believe only DC2 has this issue (or maybe it's the new templates they created that has some code that does this). My DC1 is still up and running (slowly), already been up for 178 days.

    Is there a big diff between CloudPRO 2 and CloudPRO 3?

    4 vCPU Core should be better than 2 vCPU Core, right?

    How come both of my servers run like crap? I have CloudPRO 2 and CloudPRO 3.

    It's resources, not servers.. So you can setup the servers as you like and you'll just get mors resources to use.

    How come they run like crap? Read this topic and you'll know.. Maybe they're not so much running like crap if you remember what you paid for..

  • info_hashinfo_hash Member

    They have a 80% off promo running - promo code is EWB24EWB2, making it 7$ for the smaller package.

    After a few weeks of testing, I can say that it's not so bad (given the price) and can be ok to host a small website. Didn't try to deploy a big instance to see how far it can be pushed though.

    VPS online for a long time, first time was offline several times but now online for a long time. Best buy ever :)

    The network just sucks. Everything is always below 1MB/s. Also ssd performs worse than pata disks.

    I got 5>8Mbps, that normal for Canada. And what you expect from this freebie?
