Like I said, malicious intent is best followed through by watching someone drown, not by warning them first

Well realistically it does not look like he was going to make a big commercial venture out of this.. I think he's just trying to find a few folks to help offset the cost of his dedi.. seems like a good plan to me! let someone else pay for your RTO..

That's where I stopped reading. This is the essence of overselling-- if everyone who's paid for the hardware all wanted to use it at once, they couldn't.

Working on getting the drive looked into. Apparently it may be a defective drive causing the issues.

Also looking into SSDs for this box. So we shall see.

Once fixed will let everyone know.

If you're looking to change disks. It may be wise to go for a four disk raid 10 array. You can still stick with software RAID if you wish.

So after looking into the drives here's what I get on my 128mb VPS on my services:

root@demo:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/2gb.dat bs=8k count=256k conv=fdatasync
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 16.9409 s, 127 MB/s
root@demo:~#

and here is the result from my 4GB VPS from ShoveHost

root@dev:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/2gb.dat bs=8k count=256k conv=fdatasync
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 42.9933 s, 49.9 MB/s
root@dev:~#

It looks like the IO on my server is OK and according to my DC, the drive is performing as it should.

Hey,

Can you run this and post the results?

dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

Yeah that looks good to me the speed. But my opinion is that it is not reliable on raid1 to have clients on it. Just default a empty node with raid10 would be at about 200-300 MB/s and under load it would be at about 110-150 ish. At the same time my recommendations is before of most clients wants to use high ram packages for MC or game server hosting but 70% of the time its MC server hosting, this is why most providers don't allow MC servers or any game servers.

One minecraft player uses a flight command and another clients website starts loading slowly. That's the reality we all fight to prevent. First thing you learn providing VPS is that the disk plays a bigger role in performance than you ever fully appreciated before.

@agoldenberg said: Everyone has been refunded. Enjoy the vps for the month and after that ill stick o shared hosting until I learn more.

end ornot?

agoldenberg

No I'm going to keep it going. Even if it doesn't make money, screw it. I want people to be happy with their VMs

I think that's what you should have done from the start, you should have offered a free Beta program for a couple of months just to get a few feedback..

agoldenberg

I have plenty of these 2/4GB VPSes left Any takers? I just installed another drive for storage and can provide something custom if you want to give me specs and what you'd like to pay for those specs. (Within reason)

Not sure if anyone else would show you this on their boxes but here:
