Merry Christmas from BuyVM! More features from Franta Claus!
The following email is getting sent out later today:
Hello {$firstname},
We wanted to start by wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas, A Happy Holidays, and a prosperous New Years!
2022 has been an overall good year for BuyVM and we wanted to share some of the upcoming changes & improvements for 2023 – at no additional cost or price hike!
We’ve bumped our global network capacity by 500%!
The 2nd half of this year was us focusing on network upgrades by increasing our global network capacity by ~500%. This has helped us address congestion issues we had in Las Vegas & New York.
Burstable 10Gbit for all qualifying services!
As an added bonus, If you’re a premier user, or your service has been active for at least 90 days, you’ll now qualify for a network connectivity upgrade from 1Gbit -> 10Gbit burstable. This upgrade happens automatically without a reboot or support ticket. Neat.
Route smaller blocks via BGP, on-the-fly change your outbound route!
We’re working to interlink our locations, allowing users to be able to announce a /24 (for instance) over BGP, and then announce smaller blocks (even a single IP) in another BuyVM location, and it will interlink/cross over. Perfect for VPN companies that want a smaller block in each DC!
You’ll soon be able to control what ISP (basically Cogent or HE) your VPS takes for outbound traffic, on the fly. This will be done via a setting in Stallion, or by setting DSCP with your firewall.
Private LAN’s that span the world!
You’ll soon be able to create as many private LAN’s as you want, and connect as many as you want to a single instance. Want only 2 of your VM’s to have a specific private LAN? No problem. Want a big ‘head end’ node that’s plugged into ALL of your private LAN’s, so you can use it as a router/VPN entry point? Go for it.
Private LAN’s will soon span the globe, meaning a VM in Las Vegas can talk over its private LAN to a VM in Luxembourg. No longer do you need to use TINC or a mesh of Wireguard’s.
CPU upgrades from AMD Ryzen 3900X to AMD Ryzen 5900X!
Earlier this year we deployed some Ryzen 5900X based nodes, and they’re awesome. So awesome we’ve decided we’re going ahead with upgrading all nodes from 3900X -> 5900X over the coming year! We’ll start with Vegas and head east from there.
As always, we thank you for your patronage.
From our family to yours,
BuyVM
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

-> Private LAN’s that span the world
This makes things a lot easier for many use cases!
Spicy. Will the Global Private LANs be L2?
Yes, just like the current ones.
LAN's are fully isolated and you can pass whatever traffic you want on them. We're simply just cross connecting locations.
Francisco
Long cables.
Interesting...forgive the noob question but as someone learning about VPS, if I understand this correctly, I would need to order a slice based on CPU/RAM/OS storage, then add varying amounts of block storage which can be integrated into that slice? I feel like I wish I'd have found this during BF specials, lol....
Exactly. You buy a slice and then you can attach up to 8 volumes of whatever size you want to a single instance.
Francisco
BuyVM APAC when, Franta Claus.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from China!
2024 maybe
Sweet
Is the 512MB for 20/year no longer available?
There is no plans to bring this back at the moment.
Francisco
Nice! Are the slices and volumes scalable as needed?
Yup.
No need to wipe either.
Francisco
To be clear: Scalable UP, right?
@Francisco Merry Christmas! thank you for the great work
Merry Christmas and congrats for your great works.
Hope to see some new locations added to your network in 2023
Do you guys build your own servers?
Are they rack or tower?
I have not seen many pre-built rack servers with "consumer grade" CPU's.
If you are using 1U Rack servers, I would be thankful if you could recommend some comfy 1U case.
They use racked servers, I believe. I think I've seen images even.
any good offers?
Great service, great provider.
