  • @jlay said: Backup bundle of VMs, let's say three VMs with similar (fairly low) specs other than disk, located in different datacenters.

    This was debated, I don't remember when - essentially asking for a pool of VMs across DCs/Locations.

    Additionally, considering how some of us go on a crazy when caught in the frenzy acquisition spree, it would have been nice to combine some of the lower end KVMs into a sum-of-parts bigger KVM. I think that was also tricky as they get allotted across different nodes and so it's hard to combine them.

    Aah... the possibilities to idle by combining idlers to make an uberidler... the mind boggles.

  • Got the $32.17 deal woop! woop!
    Seems that people didn't rush to get it since we had a better value for the same money previously.
    Good enough for me though at least i can go to sleep now.
    Good luck everybody!

    Also, beware in case you are running Windows. It has a nasty habit of letting loose some processes that hog cpu for a while after the updates. That's one of the reasons, the multi-core KVMs are a must for Windows so that you're within your CPU limits (mostly anyways).

    1000 times this. It would behoove Virmach to link to two pages that have workarounds to the high CPU on a fresh Windows server. I forget the details, one is .NET optimization related and I think the other Windows Update related. A two core server can get in and make the changes much easier than a 1 core already cpu pegged.

    Or just fix the template to change a couple of services to disabled and prevent in first place.

    Yeah im afraid windows will push an update and ill wake up to a suspended service that they wont let me turn back on.

  • Good night @patchy!

  • Please comeback to me:

    RAM 13568MB RAM
    CPU 8 vCORE
    HDD 110GB SSD

    I beg you, I won't be able to sleep :wink:

    Trust me it's not that easy to runaway....I did that last year when I got my first windows VPS and then promised no more since I didn't need it. I went on to purchase 4 more VPS (which I didn't need at all)....

    @VirMach second this request :smiley:

  • FZhang said: which I didn't need at all

    What about this year?

    When they idle all year long, good deals are more expensive than what a hourly cloud like vultr would have been (and it not used during the year, the credit there doesn't move and is available for when you need it: best idling :wink:)!

  • What's the benefit of idling the VPS?

    Planning on getting at least another two high cpu + ram Windows VPS. I'm practicing self-restraint this year (at least I think I will be...)

    Dragoon0309 said: Should I be getting login details pretty quickly after order? it's been about a half hour and I've got nothing but a payment confirmation yet.

    It could take up to two hours normally, but then if it breaks it could take maybe a day or two max. Well actually let's say one week max, just to be safe. But yeah, probably maybe 8 hours. Re-calculating...

    Guess the bot broke on mine around 6 hours or so ago. Don't blame him for wanting to take a break. Can't wait to get up and running!

    Thanks for the deals. Still have mine from last year.

  • @VirMach request/challenge based on your previous 13.25GB RAM beast: 6 cores, 3GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 4TB BW @ 10Gbps for $26/year. I have to go AFK for a while, but I'll be back tomorrow :tongue:

    I don't touch that with a ten foot pole, on servers or personal devices. I appreciate the warning though. :)

  • bond said: What's the benefit of idling the VPS?

    Well, you buy considering that you might have a use for it, you don't, and you renew it because.. you know, you could find a use to it, and it's a really good deal. Finally, the VPS is idling (doing nothing) and you end up spending more than what you'd have spent if you had kept your money and used an (expensive) hourly cloud when really needed. There's no real benefit. But if you really need it, you'd have it. Good deals are rare, and not all year long: one can be tempted to grab one, even if it's gonna end up being unused (idling). In some cases it can become some kind of addiction "let buy boxes in as many countries as possible". In both cases, over-consumption / first world problems. Some believe that this protects them from more dangerous addictions. Sounds weird, but who knows?

  • Is it just me or has the amount of storage been going down over the past year. I used to really be picky about the amount of RAM and didn't worry about storage space because it seemed finding something with 100 GB, for example, was fine. But now I seem to find lots of offers starting with 2GB RAM, but only 10GB of disk space, or something low like that.

  • scooke said: But now I seem to find lots of offers starting with 2GB RAM, but only 10GB of disk space, or something low like that.

    Because hosts moved massively to SSDs. Better iops = more customers per node. I/O often was the bottleneck. As SSD volume increase and prices decrease, we can expect more storage to become available (cheaper) in the future.

    That being said last year @VirMach had a 24$/y deal with 8GB RAM/4 cores and something like 60 or 80GB of SSD. Maybe the disks on the nodes shrinked during the year?
