Warning: ThrustVPS OpenVZ plans
Just a quick warning to anyone considering their OpenVZ plans - I/O is abysmal, nodes have constant interruptions where they don't respond for up to 5 minutes at a time, multiple times every day. Reboots from SolusVM sometimes glitch the VM and makes it unresponsive for up to an hour.
Support doesn't seem to care about the performance.
I will say that I have also been using their XEN offering and it is much, much better - unfortunately it's been sold out for months, but their OpenVZ plans are no replacement.

can you give us explanation regarding this
I used them around a year ago, pretty much the same experience back then too even with Rus around.
Like the "new" alienvps or the "new" 123systems...
I got this reply to my ticket:
Here is an example bench;
[root@vps3 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test2 bs=64k count=512 oflag=dsync ... 33554432 bytes (34 MB) copied, 64.3015 s, 522 kB/sAs an example, here is the same test on an Edis.at KVM plan:
33554432 bytes (34 MB) copied, 1.3986 s, 24.0 MB/sMan, run, run far away
Guess I'm on the good thrust node.
Never had many problems with it. The occasional downtime, but generally very good stability and decent speed.

Untill it fills up, I had good performance too for the first week.
The previous tests in this thread are a couple of weeks old, I abandoned the VPS after that since it's unusable, but I just performed a new test (still have a couple of days left on my period):
[root@vps3 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test2 bs=64k count=512 oflag=dsync 512+0 records in 512+0 records out 33554432 bytes (34 MB) copied, 102.611 s, 327 kB/sI don't even know what to say, abysmal doesn't do justice to how crap their service is.
Run "dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync", that's pretty much the standard, and dsync will give much different results.
[root@vps3 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 139.589s 7.7 MB/sWhen you take in consideration the different cache settings, this is still awful. For comparison I am getting 104MB/s on Edis.
Is a shame haha.
Run away! As I said :P
Been on that node for over a year.
And maybe is ok now, but if you get issues, I wonder what you will receive as "answer".
I was just responding to littleguy's bench with an identical commandline. Agreed, support could be snappier, but I've been satisfied with the service so far.
Here's a better bench:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.8453 s, 49.2 MB/s
