Waiting for some LA 256mb stock
For those with one core windows BF deals, having two cores makes a noticeable difference, IMO.
And didn't have to do 72 hour BF marathon waiting for similar deal. That being said, I'm sure I still will, haha.
will you restock 256MB plan?
As usual, you can use Server Hunter to get an instant notification when it's back in stock.
Here are the special offers: https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=39E-384-A40
Good but I'll wait for black Friday deals
They auto restock as people fail to check out, and as orders marked as fraud get cleared out. There may be a small increase every day for a few days.
We agree. We had some hesitation as we did not want to appear to upsell, but for now we've added an advisory on the SSD1G package (just not for this special.)
This was one of the main reasons we upgraded our SSD2G package a while ago. I think we're still one of the only providers that provide 2 cores with our 2GB package, specifically because of how much it improves the user experience.
What are you talking about? Your 2GB plan is 1 core only. If you did, I'd buy.
Edit: oops, I see "SSD2G" is actually a different package, not one of the offers.
The standard, non-cheapo SSD2G package has 2 cores -- not these specials.
Just grabbed 4 gb vps with win2016 on it, looks ok but after looking in task manager just saw the baby is running one 1 vCore instead of 2, send a ticket now.
EDIT: is fixed
Bench.sh for the $7/year deal. Interesting amounts of potassium for small input of monies.
I suspect there may be additional potassium waiting to be tapped at some point - via a ticket to enable AES flag on teh CPU (assuming it was not already set?)
I will definitely play around with this one day, I feel the old kernel could also be holding it back. Enabling passthrough has to help a lot I'd imagine. Tbh it's planned to idle for 12 months at this stage..
Oh God, I'm late.. couldn't wait for the blackfriday offers from you guys
Everyone was late for the $7 deal, but the bigger packages are still available.
I ended up getting a 4gb (LAX) and a 512mb at Dallas. This worked out great, I needed a new development server and a deployment monitoring server - this worked out just perfect!
The LAX server is a bit lethargic at times, could be oversubscribed a bit but overall quite fine for my needs.
Looking forward to BF deals
Bought another 4gb batch, its a good deal.
I'm still short of 10 4GBs so here's another batch I hope your site does not kick me from ordering.
I know it's cheap, but not that crazy. Do you have real use case for that ?
Yes, we use more than 800 vps and more than 25 providers on 40 dc locations.
Please leave some for the rest of us!
Picked up a LA 4GB yesterday and it is soooo smooth
@VirMach When can we expect Debian 10 template inside control panel?
May I ask you why you need that many VMs?
it seems pretty reasonably priced (not too crazy like that Black Friday stuff!)
my experience with @VirMach is that they are reliable and consistent - and even their normal pricing is a decent value. (To be sure, their promotions often set the bar for some next level crazy-making sales though.)
would imagine that it could be getting exercised a bit more than usual at the moment due to installation tasks from new instances, maybe even a few benchmarks (which are more or less pointless until the dust settles a bit, in my opinion).
One thing I'm curious about is why @VirMach does not enable the AES flag in the virtual CPU by default. I think this would serve to improve performance for anything involving LUKS disk encryption - and could reduce the load on the entire node in general. Not sure exactly what the downside of setting things up that way might be ... (I understand that it may complicate migration of instances to another node, though I don't know if that's something that would come up very often.)
Maybe SolusVM does not support that kind of setup?
You may refer to this thread.
Just bought one but unfortunately the IP address is blocked in China.
Cancellation requested but cannot find the "refund" option.
Please take a look.
Changing to a non-blocked IP address is also an acceptable solution.
iirc IP change is available for something like $5
As per their policy, first purchase is eligible for a refund, but I couldn't find a refund option.
As per the offer description, No Refunds.
