  • Maybe more traffic for storage vm?

    Please DM me with your requirements.
    Thanks!

  • Got a NVMePromo-1 in Atlanta - Here is a little benchmark for those who are curious. I/O speed is probably closer to SSD, not NVMe. I got a free upgrade to 50G so maybe that's the trade-off. Web control panel is generic and slow. There is quite a lag between issuing the commands (shutdown/reboot/mount CD) and when it's actually done.

    Choice of ISO is limited to a few recent linux distros but I'm sure you could ask them to load up something else. The VPS was delivered without CPU passthrough but they got it changed quickly when requested. I did not see a way to update PTR but did not need to change it for this one.

    Network speed is decent. I got close to 400-500Mb/s to Chicago and Dallas. I'm not too fond of the amount of broadcast traffic on the LAN, though.

    Hello,
    Thank you for the feedback. For the Disk I/O, we would suggest you to take a Fio test instead of the dd test. Here is the result from a fio test we have just taken from a Vm on the same node as your current VPS: https://prnt.sc/tf320b

    Thanks!

  • Any special for NVMePromo-2....do you offer block storage along with NVMe for OS ?

    It's a special offer already, we can bump the hard drive to 50GB too if you want. Unfortunately we dont have block storage now.
    Thanks!

    Sorry I wasn't clear. Special if paid annually I meant instead of quarterly

    It's the best price we can offer. ~$5/mo for 4GB RAM NVMe VPS, it wont last long :)

    Unfortunately, I've never had a production VPS server on unencrypted disk...so here is the result for luks/aes encrypted disk. It would have been a lot worse without CPU passthrough. It's usable for me.

    @jbuggie You can always reinstall your VPS from our listed ISO in Client Area and encrypt your disk during the installation via VNC Console.

    I have purchased a server with GreenCloudVPS yesterday. So far the experience is pretty frustrating.

    Let me start by saying the performance of the server itself is great - no problems there whatsoever.

    However, I quickly noticed two issues with the installation:

    1. The primary partition didn't nearly fill the allocated disk space. I had 15GiB available and the partition was only 4GiB large. I only noticed this when trying to rsync files to the server and running out of space.

    Believing this to be an issue with the installation template, I opened a support ticket about it. Their response was just that this was inteded and I could always grow the fs manually. Sure, it's not a big deal but why not make life easier for the users and do that automatically?

    1. IPv6 was configured but broken. I opened a support ticket as well only to be told that IPv6 was working perfectly fine. Of course that wasn't the case, I couldn't even ping the gateway. When I insisted it was broken, they requested the VPS root password to investigate the issue from inside my server. I gave it to them after removing all sensitive information from the server. Their response was that I did some changes which caused the configuration to break. This is unlikely as I did not change any network settings at all.

    They offered to reinstall the server for me which I accepted. However, instead of reinstalling Ubuntu 20.04 they chose to install CentOS 7 on it. I then reinstalled Ubuntu only to find IPv6 still broken. Now their support suddenly said that IPv6 had to be set up manually and all their installations were without IPv6 support by default. Of course this wasn't correct either as there already was an IPv6 address set up - the configuration was just broken.

    After they told me where to find the correct network information I was able to fix the configuration. However, at this point I had already spent an entire day arguing with their support team. They even had access to the server and were unable to spot the issue.

    All considered, I now have a working server but not a lot of faith in their operations.

    tldr; Server is great but partition size and network setup has to be fixed by user after installation. Support team seems to be clueless.

    We are sorry for your recent experience with us.
    I have just taken a look at your case and it seems an issue with SolusVM Template, we will work with them to resolve the issue. In the mean time we will include the command to resize the partitions in the welcome email. The same applied to IPv6. It's working normally on other templates but not the new Ubuntu 20.04, we will raise a ticket to Solus about that too. We appreciate your patience.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply. I understand that mistakes happen and since this is a relatively new OS not everything is working perfectly yet.

    However, your technical support in this matter has never acknowledged the problem, tried to blame me for the issues and has done next to nothing to help me with the IPv6 problem. This is a far bigger concern for me.

    I'm not sure if this was a communication issue or your Senior Technicians lack the technical skills but I am not convinced they can help me in any possible future issue.

    It's the misunderstanding in communication imo. I advised our staff to be clearer on the future requests.
    Thanks!
