new virmach storage KVMs
Finally got my new 1 TB storage KVM from @Virmach (have been looking forward to this since their Black Friday pre-sale): 1 GB RAM, 1 shared CPU core, 10 TB xfer @ 10 gigabit/s in Buffalo NY.
Looking at their order page https://billing.virmach.com/cart.php?gid=29 I see they are now offering up to 4 TB (with 4 GB RAM / 2 CPU cores / 40 TB xfer) for $7 per TB (that is, $28 per month for the 4 TB plan). Not sure if any discount via the usual LEB coupons but seems like a decent enough price for the specs anyway.
No benchmarks - just want to compare notes on setup:
my VPS showed up online with Debian 7 installed. I did a dist-upgrade first to Debian 8 then Debian 9 easily enough, all good.
Revisited later to directly install Debian 9 via ISO. Here I noticed network config via DHCP did not succeed, but manual config using info from previous install worked fine. (Need assigned ip address, default netmask and gateway, also may want nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf)
Helpful hint: if setting up encrypted LVM, need to cancel out of the "write random data to disk" prep stage - guessing either not enough entropy and/or too many iops causes this step to fail otherwise.
Anyway, nice to see @Virmach storage offer online now. Contemplating possible Seafile install at some point - guessing enough RAM (1 GB) but not sure if might be pushing against CPU limits with just the single core on my current plan.

Damn, that’s cheap :0
Edit : well, 4TB for $28 definitely isn’t cheap, but for smaller options, you get 1TB Disk with HW raid 10, 10TB @ 10gbps and DDOS protection. That’s quite good.
$28 monthly for the 4 TB ... (Not even going to mention the Black Friday pre-sale price for my 1 TB plan, suffice to say patience was rewarded ;^)
For people looking for smaller disk space ( 1TB ) etc. I missed the hosthatch deal aswell, so this is interesting, at least for me
It has only US location.It would be better to see plans in europe location to try on for storage.
You got 1GB? I got 512MB and a 512MB swap partition.
Bro, do you even 1 TB plan, bro ?
Actually, I'm a dumbass. I went for the 500GB plan and forgot about it.
Looks like only NY for now though and historically Virmach doesn't have the fastest bandwidth. Makes me think Unless you have a solution in the same datacenter or at the very least regionally close it would be difficult to use this as a real-time remote storage location. Obviously if it's for your own backup that's a different matter though.
Anyone have a screenshot of standard benchmark with io and wget tests?
Odd that DHCP didn't work (unless VirMach has disabled it for some reason).
No. Mine hung solid when I tried to nench it; not interested in trying again.. will let them work some bugs out first.
hmmm ... lost connection just now (packets seem to stop at 10.8.55.86, wherever that may be)
edit: back now, looks like instance was rebooted.
okay ... well I'm going to give this install a few days to settle (general principle for new server probably getting heavily loaded by installs and benches).
I have a nench report I can post.
and
I look forward to this being offered at $7/year on Black Friday.
do u suggest the company ? i would like to get the storage 1t but just cant make a decision to start with them ..
I really like and enjoy them. No IPv6 though, so only IPv4
Any bandwidth test from WSI to this storage server?
its dmca ignore ?
Lol ... nice one.
LOL SPAMER
Wow, where do these people come from
It came from Teh Internets!
Veni, Vidi, WTF
Please, for those who are still starting how to save few files? I am studying to make the sites but I do not agree to spend so much money to have space without use. It does not seem right to me to buy so much space without leaving anything for those who have little, right?
@Piroquinha if you are just starting I would suggest going with small shared plans, like these:
