O yes. That's true.

On a side note, is disk io average of 125mbps.. on kvm, it it normal?

eol · December 2018

Depends on a lot of factors, especially in a shared environment.

plumberg · December 2018

Hmm. Ok

About half of them are just idle, but I was waiting for BF sales to move a few sites from shared hosting over to their own VPS, and to move my irc bouncer to a cheaper host. I'm also planning to use one for a CentOS 8 test box when that rolls out eventually.

@plumberg said:

My two KVM in LA average just a bit over that, 150-175 MB/s. Meanwhile one of my OVZ in LA does 500-600 average, and one OVZ in Buffalo does more like 800MB/s. It's all moot for my usage, but I was surprised to see that much of a difference. I would've expected the cheaper OVZ plans to be more crunched for resources.

Idling 99.9% of the time and benching once or twice a day.

I'll migrate my stuff from the old OVZ to the best performing KVM when I get time and will probably drop the worst one before the next BF.

Same here. My OVZ in Buffalo does around 600+ while KVM in Buffalo does around 250+

But I tested it a week back, will check again today.

Of one of the deals did not mention windows available, being kvm, can I simply mount a custom iso and setup windows? Thnx

We have a limit of 2GB size for custom ISO at this time. If the package didn't come with Windows, there's probably a reasoning behind it.

Mileage on each server will obviously vary, but 150-175MB/s is too slow. If the issue persists I definitely recommend contacting support. Most the time if it's a bad apple we deal with it fairly quickly. If the node is actually having performance issues, we can migrate you to another node and/or resolve the problem.

We're getting a few dozen servers in various locations and might christen them here.

Open a ticket to have a VirMach's Windows Server 2008/2012 R2/2016 image installed. 2016 came fully licensed on both my boxes. Not sure if VirMach will install a custom ISO.

We're looking at & resolving this right now. If you still face problems please make a ticket.

If anyone is facing any performance issues I recommend contacting us. We have monitoring programs and we're improving them as much as possible, but nothing will show better than a client using their service and facing performance issues.

Not too cheap for some of the locations, but they'll definitely be more exciting than Buffalo. We're also trying out 3.4GHz E5's in a couple locations.

Can we run docker on the kvm? @virmach (assuming enough memory is available).

Thnx

Thnx

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I never saw docker not allowed on kvm service from any provider.

I give up, although I don't wish to, unless new hints are released.

It is better for me to spend the time on part-time jobs. Given a $10/hr part-time rate I can guarantee myself a nice dedicated server.

As intended, [USERNAME]. I'd love to buy you a [FAVORITE_BEVERAGE] some time.
