@Leaseweb2 What happened to @LeaseWeb and @Leaseweb1 ?
The same thing that happened to DDR and DDR2 I suspect, casualties of progress...
Can you elaborate a little more on this? I mean, what's their HA setup? Thanks!
When an hardware node fails, the vm is migrated to another node transparently.
Is this still the case? I recall they migrated off SAN to local ssd RAID10 a while ago.
I recall they migrated from HDD to SSD but, in Amsterdam at least, I am pretty sure it is still SAN.
@vimalware I'd need to fully confer with one of the techs who work on the platform next week but it's my understanding that we use SSD as a local caching layer, but with a SAN behind it for full redundancy. Our product sheet explains it pretty well near the bottom of the second page: https://www.leaseweb.com/sites/default/files/ProductSheets/Virtual_Servers_Product_Sheet_-LeaseWeb-_EN.pdf
@Leaseweb2 : can you please tell us about DDOS protection and clarify that if we set the VPS to shut off in the control panel after half the bandwidth has been used, that it will shut off immediately and we will not be billed for any more bandwidth.
Not sure where you see that price: the VPS with 8 (shared) cores and 8G RAM costs €19.99 + VAT.
They state it here: https://www.leaseweb.com/cloud/virtual-server
It's right under fully redundant platform.
It's not true - the storage is full SSD on NetApp, there's no such thing as local SSD caching layer in the cloudstack platform :-)

@quick rename to realleasweb kthx
Yup, the network is great on my AMS-01 vps so far. Still doing testing (tuning my FreeBSD install) and so far so good. I'm really happy with this deal, 8.99euro/month for 4 Cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB Disk, and 8TB bandwidth is great.
Great speeds to Online.net:
Correct! The date of PDF is 01.06.2015, 13:50:01
After huge incident with storage few years ago they've changed the storage vendor and moved to netapp "full-SSD storage platform"
Proof: https://kb.leaseweb.com/support/support-procedures/cloud-server-migration-to-virtual-server (Up to 160 GB of redundant central storage (NetApp SSD) )
Cool. I did not know about the 10G uplink in AMS.
Forgot to mention.. disk I/O on mine are all capped so you cannot exceed 60MB-80MB/s.
how much IOPS ?
@ru_tld thanks for that you're right, storage is NetApp, actually we use NetApp in many places across our platform. @JoeMerit the DDoS protection is via Wanguard https://www.andrisoft.com/software/wanguard. It will protect from most attacks but past a certain point you're looking at enterprise solutions and it'd be a very odd use case to have enterprise DDoS protection on a VPS.
As for datatraffic notifications, we have them and but they're on a 24 hour delay, so if your traffic is very spikey you may want to be careful, more details here: https://kb.leaseweb.com/customer-portal/virtual-server/virtual-server-management/virtual-server-management-actions/data-traffic-notifications-for-virtual-server. As luck would have it however we are launching a new monitoring service this week, details will be released in a few days.
24hours is an eternity during a DDOS , that you don't see coming.
Thanks for letting us know @leaseweb2. This was useful information.
I have my limit set to 500GB on a 8000TB allowance.
Personally, a temporary null-route is preferable when anomalous spikes in PPS occur. I don't want to pay extra for premium DDOS filtering.
@Leaseweb2 any chance of the Leaseweb USA vpses going on sale too (or in the future)? Thanks
@sin it is being considered, we're expanding our platforms, hence the sale, but the US hasn't been done yet so I can neither confirm or deny as we don't have a completion date yet.
@vimalware I'm sure you appreciate it's risky for me to give guarantees when it comes to DDoS attacks, but the vast majority of attacks are mitigated by the wanguard system, it's pretty robust, but of course every system has its limits.
I'd like to see Leaseweb make some progress... it's the same old tired platform with throttled disks so it can't even deliver up to the port speed. It's definitely not worth the price otherwise we wouldn't be seeing a sale and even then it's only worth it on the 4 core and above.
You can deliver more than a gigabit of traffic on a NIC without having to be able to do 125mb/s on the disk, the two numbers doesn't have to be the same If you believe that, it's a lack of knowledge from your end.
Curious about that too, if someone (@sin or @Lviv maybe) could tell us?
That would be cool!
not a problem, what test should i run? CentOS 7
Managed to install Windows 10 on the 4GB RAM plan
How to mount win10 ISO and install it.
They provide GRML so I use it to DD the image.
Is there any tutorial can be provided for using GRML to DD the image. Many thanks.
GRML is Debian based so it's certainly not difficult. Example:
For me their console is hard enough so I am turning on the SSH server on GRML and access it trough SSH and doing the DD etc.
