@dahartigan thanks, did not know it was back on
Appreciate it
@Gravely I just did that benchmark on the VPS for completeness sake
I really like this, it's very thorough and shows some handy info. I plan to bench my "fleet" with this for some mild entertainment.
Here's the output:
That's genius! Where do you find that option?
When you order the service you want, change the cycle in the cart to 6 months and add it. Checkout and pay with the store credit :-)
Edit: You still gotta cough up $5 initially to get the $50 credit, but since it expires in 60 days you just gotta choose the longest billing period you can afford.
Ahh, not for existing - that's what confused me.
I'll grab another coffee; you grab a beer. :-)
Hope @QuantumCore wouldn't mind me ordering up another Qb-1, then cancelling the existing, once I migrate stuff over. :-/
I had an existing monthly until I realized I could do this, so I just cancelled that at the end of billing period and migrated manually to the new 6 month one.
I also edited my previous comment before I saw your reply to it.
Or another genius approach would be to deposit $10, score $50 for a total of $60 and use that to buy a yearly.
$10 for a year is just as good, plus you dont waste the leftovers.. us skint bastards need to remember these things :-)
Sounds like a lot of work ... open a ticket and I'll just move your existing service to semi-annually after you add the credit
Those who are Always Skint need to work that wee bit harder, usually
.. Brilliant!
P.S. Typos in Ticket area: All account inquriries & All support inquriries
If that counts as a support interaction, I'd say that's pretty damn good service. I never even considered opening a ticket haha. Like @AlwaysSkint said, us skint folks tend to do a lot of DIY to stretch a quid or buck further
Totally blown away by the speed of response and the result!
@QuantumCore many thanks for the super early Xmas pressie. :-D
Are you and @seriesn in cahoots?
Don't you go deadpool on us, with such generosity!
Kudos to @dahartigan for the cunning plan.
EDIT: typos, as per usual.
I don't think they will deadpool over this somehow @AlwaysSkint - this is their parent company:
https://www.gohosting.com.au/about-us/ have a quick butchers hook when you get a chance
My sole client in Oz doesn't directly benefit, except in having this super fallback server on hand. Might even knock a quid off his monthly bill, to keep the auld fella sweet.
Allrite @dahartigan you can stop playing a @poisson and stop casting an influential spell on unsuspecting souls. I'm sold. Cheers
@QuantumCore super quick signup and service setup so far. Looking forward to using the service.
That was what I was wondering. If billed monthly, then impossible to finish the credits on the lowest plan but if this is possible, then probably deal of the year goes to this. Beats many BF deals.
@dahartigan Do you know what's the host node CPU?
Should look into RansomIT/ColoAU for your new network blend as well @QuantumCore - similar to Superloop
I have no idea actually.. my stab in the dark guess would be an E5 or higher. If it's an E3, there's nobody else on the node (unless they're idling 24/7)
@QuantumCore I'm curious now.. lol
Heh, let's wait for them to respond
It's midnight here, so perhaps not until the morning unless they're night owls (or maybe they are actually bots? - plot twist)
Guess is 2690 v2
That's pretty decent
You leave 'em alone, ya bully!
Just checked on one of my VM’s with QuantumCore
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6136 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Number of cores : 1
CPU frequency : 2992.968 MHz
Total size of Disk : 31.1 GB (7.4 GB Used)
Total amount of Mem : 1494 MB (399 MB Used)
Total amount of Swap : 2047 MB (13 MB Used)
System uptime : 1 days, 9 hour 27 min
Load average : 0.00, 0.02, 0.05
OS : CentOS 7.7.1908
Arch : x86_64 (64 Bit)
Kernel : 3.10.0-1062.4.3.el7.x86_64
No way :O
Whoa, they use Xeon Gold? I am impressed.
If that's true, that's insane potassium. Waiting for @QuantumCore to confirm or deny :-)
