got mine too
we should expect this will be a busy week for the node cz people benchmarking their also
I totally agree, one of the quickest to respond and also to resolve. Very impressive.
QuadraNet Los Angeles comes to mind.
Sometimes the DDoS protection from datacenter might recognize a network test by YABS as DDoS attack and would null-route the IP. We will forward the information to DC to tune that.
SJC Update: PDUs were racked. Now the DC is awaiting racking of a new 40gb switch which is due in today (US time) so they can start connecting us up. Servers will be racked today with network and IPMI configured. Pre-orders will be delivered on Friday or Saturday hopefully.
how about the status of SJC?
FWIW, I've run YABS on both my GreenCloud VPS and never experienced this. There are plenty of YABS results for GC on both the green forums, so that suggests that nobody else is seeing this and it happening to you is an anomaly and unusual.
They said that different DCs they use have different policies regarding this (and possibly forwarded the information to DC to tune that) while I explicitely stated that I had no such issue on some other their location(s) and posted it exactly as unusual occurence, so what's your point?
It was what it was. It's no crucial to run YABS on a vps and I am not too eager to run it anyway so if that's "fixed" or not it doesn't matter, I am not touching it anymore at that location, so the issue is closed for me.
Just picked up a EPYCMO-2 on the Premium KVM Sale. That's a great deal with the triennial payment and double RAM/Bandwidth. Just waiting for setup.
Any updates?
SJC: We have nodes installed and online. Orders will be delivered within 24-48 hours. We are still waiting for the IPv6 setup from the DC, so in case you need IPv6 you can request that after a few days.
Just saw that BudgetKVMMO-1 is restocked. May I ask if (Pre-order) BudgetKVMSJC-1 will be restocked too?
Once we have all pre-orders delivered, we will have more qty added.
Nice! Hopefully, double CPU and bandwidth still apply for triennial payment for that location.
BudgetKVMSJC-2
Got my
BudgetKVMSJC-3this morning. YABS (I hope the benchmark doesn't run afoul of the CPU usage limits in your ToS):Some random thoughts:
It feels very very fast right now, but I guess it'll slow down a bit as more people are added to the node.
Not sure if you're using SATA SSDs or NVMe SSDs but disk speeds and IOPs are both very good.
Thanks for making the disk 60GiB (binary bytes) and not 60GB (decimal bytes). I've been worried that other hosts will "pull a HostHatch" and reduce capacities while claiming that that's how it's supposed to have always been.
I'm still very impressed by the support for such a cheap service. I had trouble logging in to SolusVM, and support fixed it in 5 minutes.
Whois on the San Jose IPs shows "Prime Directive, LLC" but I guess you just haven't updated SWIP yet.
Seems like a decent choice of processor - it's a E5-2698 v4, which has more cores and more cache compared to the E5-2680 / E5-2690 which is very common with budget servers. Base frequency is lower (2.2GHz) but boost/turbo is the same (3.6GHz). Memory should be faster than hosts that use E5 v2 processors (like HostHatch's legacy systems) since it uses DDR4 instead of DDR3.
Network seems pretty good, as per YABS above. I get ~2.2Gbps between GreenCloudVPS in San Jose and HostHatch in Los Angeles.
Nested virtualisation (VT-x) is enabled - not sure if that's intentional or not.
4 cores are missing - supposed to be 8 cores with triennual payment but I only got 4. It does properly say 8 in WHMCS though. I'll file a ticket.
Haven't requested IPv6 yet as per this comment:
Which data center in San Jose are you using?
According to the test IP, it's tzulo, inc.
Since the issue of YABS and TOS has come up again, thought I would post a response to the ticket I raised about drop in GB5 and Disk speeds for my VPS- 1 year later. This was the "Birthday special Plan" in Singapore.
Ticket was raised to check why GB5 had dropped from 850 plus (Aug 2021) to 550 ish levels (Aug 2022), and disk speeds were at 50% of original results. Was it a cause for concern?
Reply from Support was quick, as below.
Note:
VPS is running fine other than the YABS results-intention is not to rant. @NDTN
I think it's natural for performance to drop as more users are added to the server, since the CPU and IO resources are not dedicated, especially in the case of these cheap "budget" services
I saw that, but tzulo's site is junk and I can't find any reference to them even owning a facility in San Jose, so I'm wondering if they're just leasing the IPs
It's been already mentioned here.

Ah, interesting, I didn't see that. Interesting that a data center with a site that looks like it hasn't been updated in 2010, and doesn't have their locations in Google Maps, could provide quality services. 🤔
I am aware and concur about performance drop, however, my post was more focused on YABS - and provider's support discouraging it.
Edit: This is an offer thread, not a review thread, so I am collapsing my below comments.
Moreover, now I will be interested in seeing how much further the performance drops as the year progresses. Not that I intended to run benchmarks every now and then. Maybe a month prior to renewal , July 2023, I will run a BM again and that may go in as one of the inputs for renewal decision.
Hello,
Maybe our staff was not clear about YABS. We dont have any restrictions on testing the performance with YABS, but not recommended to use it frequently as it’s a shared environment and sometimes it might be caught by the anti DDoS system of several datacenters if doing it continuously. Please drop me a PM with your ticket number so I can take a look again with the node. But I think with > 500 GB5 on an Intel Xeon server is not bad. We are monitoring the load on our nodes in real time and all seems fine recently.
We have been with them for a long time already, first back in 2015-2016 when we had colocation in Chicago, IL - their main location, but then moved to Nexeon a few years later as we expanded. They have been adding quite a lot of locations in the recent years, as we had great experience in the past, I thought why not give them a try with their new locations? There were some delays for setting up our rack in SJC but everything is working fine now. IMO they are moving to B2B so maybe they don’t focus on the website updates.
Thanks for the info! What's the address of their data center in San Jose?
10Gbps port is faaaaast [insert rocket launching emoji here]

It's Opencolo: https://opencolo.com/
will the plan guarantee have 50%/100%/200%/boost vCPU Core to a certain period?
Did you read the Terms of Service (that you're supposed to read before signing up with a provider) to see their current policy?
I think @NDTN said that they're a bit flexible on the 10 minute limit. I do daily backups which use a lot of disk I/O but only for 5-10 minutes per day, so I'm hoping that'll be OK.
yes, 100% for 10min/24 hrs/host, not sure why YABS trigger the alert then
