What do you guys plan to do with your 10TB storage servers?
Aside from idling of course.
I know am pass the offer deadline of Monday, do you have any stock left of the $30 2 core nvme not sure if you extended the offer
Because https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3170379/#Comment_3170379 looks very nice.
Single Core | 2868
Multi Core | 7461
But with 16 GB Ram, of course.
that's geekbench v4 and not v5 ...
dd if=/dev/urandom of=huge.fileedit: it's a joke eh, fellow idlers with 10TB machines, please idle disk empty!

edit:
win10 pro only allow 2 CPU/socket, I contacted the support to change processor topology from 2 processor to 1 processor and 3 core.
for v5, using win10, but only 2 core detected/used, it is almost same wtih my old AMD Phenom II X4 955
My London 1TB storage was provisioned this morning! Not sure why only outdated versions of Debian (8 and 9) were offered while ordering though. Oh well, I'll just install from ISO, which is what I prefer doing anyways, and it looks like they do offer custom ISO uploads. Thank you @hosthatch for the great offers.
I don't have anything new to add here, I just wanted to thank Hosthatch (not even mentioning to not to poke him unnecessarily) for his godlike patience and the great offers he's given us so far.
This is his thread - the poking has already been done 😀
Is it normal that I haven't had money deducted from my balance for the servers I ordered? Did I do something wrong?
Edit: This is referring to the normal deals, not the flash deals
did you order via ticket? then just wait it out. support will eventually get to it, create an invoice and deduct.
if you ordered via link during a flash sale, you should have gotten an invoice, which you can apply the credit to by yourself.
Yeah, I ordered through ticket. Just asking because I spoke to some users who all said they were already charged for the servers and the servers are showing as finalising in their account.
You will see that only if you ordered via link during flash sales. Those came with instant invoices that you had to pay for.
hmm. then the question is probably 'when' did you put in that ticket... close to the end of the sales itself (I think it was monday 15:30 or something like that)? if so it probably still takes time. I think they went through a first batch of tickets creating invoices sometime at the weekend. and are provisioning these now, while going through the tickets itself probably slowed down, if they had to split ressources on that.
I suggest to give it another one or two days at least, just that are not seeing an invoice or pending server for sure does not have to say anything, if your order matches the initial requirements ;-)
It seems like more expensive machines are being provisioned first, which makes sense but I am still impatient
The 2TB storage vps only has 2000GiB, I call that a scandal
could also be that they queued it per location or hostnode (depending on the mix) etc. because you would not want to to switch back and forth. quite some 'logistic' effort to think of an effective system for such a large rollout...
meanwhile I got my 2TB chicago storage deployed, yabs:
numbers exceed expectations, iperf numbers vary but there were quite some attempts needed, so I expect the servers to be busy and yabs spiking again in usage today...
can only say very happy with the result already, thanks @hosthatch
My 3TB VPS chicago only has 2.88TB. Wondering if that's what's everyone is getting also? Does anybody have a guide how to setup the internal sharing (SSHFS/NFS/Samba) securely and then pooling them together with mergerFS? Thanks.
manage.hosthatch.com is down?
Aaaaaaaaaah
too many people are checking when their machines will be provisioned.
Not sure about exact reasons. But it is close to a difference between 3TB and 3TiB
Should be back shortly
edit: should be ok now
this.
I'm a little bit nervous...
Why ?
It's very common for hard drive manufacturers (and web hosts) to use decimal bytes where 1000 bytes = 1 KB, 1000 KB = 1 MB, etc. to make the hard drives appear bigger. However, operating systems tend to use binary bytes where 1024 bytes = 1 KB (or "KiB"), 1024 KBs = 1 MB , etc.
However, I would have expected ~2.73 TB, not 2.88 TB.
Also, if you're checking using
df -h, the file system itself also has some overhead, and also check if you have a large swap partition (if you installed from an image rather than ISO)My anal-retentive self can not stand having ordered 2TB (= 2,000,000,000,000 bytes) then receive 2,000GiB (= 2,147,483,648,000 bytes).
Deliver either 2TiB or 2TB, not that mixed bag of binary units, dammit! (why 2,000GiB and not 2,048GB then?)
Hi Hosthatch,
First I pay for the servers I have on Hosthatch and as mentioned in my opinion you provide a great service for what you pay, taking that into consideration what you call "free" upgrades are not actually "free".
Also is pretty common a readjustment of service as in any other provider like AWS / Azure etc... as things evolve so normally does the resources so I queried about that possibility, if it was possible abiding by your comment.
So while your focus is to mention free on something that actually isn't I would expect at least a response about my query and the fact I still didn't get it probably explain why your support should be better, you lack on understanding that is not about the topic / subject is about responding to your customers in the same manner.... the time you took to write that reply I would expect you to lose it on responding to those tickets, I would call that time well spent and probably increase your ROI.
Thanks.
Do you know the meaning of not being a sheep, means keeping yourself informed / based on facts and more importantly thinking for yourself, not accepting any other comment.
I know nowadays facts have little value so people tend to argument about everything specially something that;s non of their business. Amusing.
