waiting for my storage as well
I'm so thankful for the deal extension. I just snatched a compute VPS in Amsterdam, hoping to play with it soon.
O dear. You are new here (working with hosthatch). The provisioning is estimated. The wait is from now to eternity.
Fasten your seatbelts.
You’ll get your service once they’ve put the hardware together
Can private network be setup on 2 different plans but in the same region? 2 storage vps (amd) can ping each other, but can't ping the 3rd compute vps (intel). All 3 vps subscribed during this recent sale and in Amsterdam.
Theoretically it should work as long as internal private network is enabled and setup correctly on all the nodes in the same region.
I see on my panel it says on a few servers there is old network setup which needs to be updated.
About the performance on storage VMs...
1) They are supposed to be low to mid performance VMs, that complement our high performance NVMe VMs.
2) There is a period when everyone runs their benchmarks and/or fills up their disks. We're talking tens/hundreds of TBs of data being written here. So the performance after a while will be better - and we will apply limits to constant abusers.
Does anyone have a good method to mount a Storage VM on an NVMe VM?
I've tried both SSHFS and good old fashioned Samba, but neither are preserving permissions assigned by the NVMe client. Everything ends up being owned by the user running sshfs or smb.
NFS maybe? https://d.sb/2020/12/nfs-howto
@Daniel15
iSCSI maybe?
Yes. Make sure you've given each one a unique IP address as there's no DHCP server on the private network (unless you run your own).
Yes! This still works. You don't have to use WireGuard any more since HostHatch now have true private networking. Previously, the internal network was shared between all customers at the same location, meaning it was vulnerable to port scans, ARP spoofing, etc.
Is it possible for regular users, who don't have access to the hypervisor, to share a resource on one VM with another via iSCSI?
Yes
There may be delays, after all this is only an estimate. Don't you worry, the billing period starts from the moment your server is deployed anyway. For the price you're paying, I think a little delay is more than reasonable.
I own more than 10 services with @hosthatch for over 2 years now and trust me, they're premium.
The problem is that the 1 week estimates (Chicago for me) are now coming into week two and no update. This is a very bad sign as an original ETA of 1 week would be 5-9 days and now it's 14 days without any update. So either very bad planning, or many unforseen issues came up and there's still no idea of when the new ETA is.
For me, I needed at least one server provisioned by tonight to put it in service before going on vacation. Now I'll just have to implement that solution elsewhere and not have any use for these HH any more for a while. Which means I'll buy elsewhere and end up cancelling existing HH services when they come up for renewal to make use of these servers when eventually get provisioned..
I took a gamble on their estimate, unfortunately, didn't work out for me. C'est la vie. But it means I won't ever count on them again.
Don't buy any pre-order in your case
You should have some backup before order sales on let
or postpone your vacation
If the 1 week ETA was accurate, I would have had the server setup 6 days ago with plenty of time to spare. Even a few extra days would have been fine. It's totally a fuck up to be at least double wrong estimate. At least in my experience, if you're estimates are that far off and no communication, prepare for a shit show.
I'm implementing the backup plan tonight. If I did that before the LET sale, I wouldn't have bought any as it would/is no longer needed.
Damn - I wish I'd known, I had some idling storage in Chicago and could have lent it to you in the meantime!
No one care your own schedule, you are taking risk when placed order so now it's the risk
No they are not premium. They are very affordable and as long things work we're fine. Once things don't work there is pretty good chance you're fucked. That's not definition of a premium, it just means that unlike many others you still didn't experience a bit different side of them.
If you don't pay the premium price, you don't get the premium service. They literally state on the thread that the reason why it's cheap is because they will basically place all your tickets regarding the services on low priority.
Aside from my remaining open tickets regarding some special setup and a weird issue with private net, I have had a good experience so far. Disk perf on my storage VM did drop a bit since that promo extension came around, but I just have to wait for the bench and abuse to die down and I'll be chilling.
hosthatch offers threads always full with dramas. but when all VMs was provisioned thread will sink slowly and all happy customers will going silence and renew their plans next year. 😄
I still miss the great drama from 2020, when I first found HH. Sad we only have 19 pages, with very little drama in it this year - but the offerings were not quite the same, but amazing if you're in the niche looking for a power hungry or large storage server. :-)
I've had problems, and no issues from HH fixing them. Does it take some days? Yes. But when it's fixed it's fixed. I've had other hosting providers who constantly have problems, where everytime they fixed one, another would pop up shortly after. My HH servers are beasts with insane uptime.
Which one did you buy? I bought the AMD version, but wonder if the Intel would have been just as good.
It's the AMD one too because it outperforms the legacy E5 ones.
