Seems "correct" aka TB to TiB plus filesystem overhead blablabla.
Unfortunately hosthatch run disk same as disk manufactures sells you things - in 1000.
fdisk -l
Got it, makes sense.
OMG it reads 9997610123264 instead of 10000000000000 - you got scammed of 2389876736 bytes (that's 0.02%), you should definitely ask for a prorated refund. #EnlargeYourPennies
Just to provide some updates here - any pending orders were delivered a couple of days ago.
In Singapore and Hong Kong, we moved to our own racks, as being in shared colocation space was causing growth issues. Now we can more quickly deal with any issues, or expansions, since we are direct datacenter customers.
In Singapore and Tokyo, we've also added GSL as an upstream, which is primarily Telstra - one of the best-performing networks in the APAC region. It comes at a huge cost (for example, our second choice was cdn77/datapacket, which we use in several other locations, was at half the cost per megabit, but the GSL network in APAC does not really have any competition). This is of course at no additional cost to our customers, nor any price increases for new customers since we have enough margin to take on the extra cost.
In June, we will also add cdn77/datapacket as an upstream in Vienna and Zurich, and add more servers capacity there at the same time (they are out of stock at the moment).
We also have our new user API in beta access now, and snapshots should be ready in the next 2 weeks. I will probably open a new thread about this to gather feedback.
Congratulations!
I spent a bucket of money on Sydney VPS, and the improvements are in Singapore …
Nice! Great news! Congrats on having your own Racks in SG! Cheers!
You and I both. So close to production quality.
Do you have any network related issues in Sydney? We are eventually going to add another carrier (cdn77 or GSL), because we want to have at least two carriers in each location for redundancy - but we don't really get any performance related complaints there.
Will you utilize theirs DDoS-Protection?
Same for GSL, they also have really nice protection.
I think I have answered this several times before: we do not advertise any DDoS protection.
DDoS protection is not really a one-sum game. A lot of providers here offer it (Hetzner, one of my favorite cloud providers does too), but how well it works is something that is questionable (from experience).
There are some attacks that take a lot of engineering time, to communicate between the customer (what is being hosted), and the upstream (to see why there are leaks).
We may or may not utilize DDoS protection from our upstreams, but that is not something we advertise as a selling point.
If you know for a fact that you will be getting DDoS attacks on a complex application that might require engineering time of both us and our upstreams, then we are not going to be the right host for you (nor is any other $5/mo provider, but that is a decision for the customer to make).
While the RIT network has progressed alot, my production will still always sit with other providers. GSL peering and protection is incredible.
Regardless of sophisticated DDoS proteciton, even having basic protection like GSL is a massive positive to deter basic L4 attacks.
Understandable, I think it should happen in the next ~3 months.
@hosthatch Sydney to @NDTN Tokyo
@NDTN Tokyo to @hosthatch Sydney
Portland and Seattle, why?
It should route through Singapore or Hong Kong both ways.
@hosthatch Sydney to @Advin Mumbai
@Advin Mumbai to @hosthatch Sydney
Around the world!
So many hops!
So much latency!
Thank you for your answer.
I'm mostly looking for defense against "classic" attacks like defrag udp with amplification and so on, nothing "custom".
The only problem is volume, but both GSL and Datapacket offer plenty by default.
@yoursunny - GSL is having issues due to maintenance on Indigo West, my hh SYD, SIN (and home service!) all started having crappy routing (SIN to SYD was going via TYO and SEA as you're experiencing) and latency over the past few weeks. See: https://www.gslstatus.com/incidents/k1txpp2h4rpt and https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/indigo-west
(This was complicated by HH incorporating Telstra transit late May which took a few days to settle)
We don't have GSL in Sydney yet, so this might be unrelated (or might just be a Telstra issue in general).
But @yoursunny, please contact us with the traceroutes and we can escalate it to HostUniversal. I assume anyone using them (which is basically 90%+ of the providers here) will have the same problem. We do not have a second transit in Sydney at this time that we can route over.
Yes, just giving you a heads up that our default policy is to null route if an attack is leaking to us from GSL/CDN77's protection since it will likely be affecting other customers - and we cannot have that while we communicate between you and the upstream to fix the leak.
We aim to reach as close to 100% uptime as possible, and cannot risk that for less than 1% of the customers who will be better served by providers who specialize in this.
I already posted full traceroute above.
The destination is the IPv4 gateway of the remote VPS.
Will probably pass compared to previous HH promo campaigns...
You announced your dramatic exit a few months too late.
Not quite a year, but it’s close now.
You will pass on April 2023 promo?
Good job!
I was fully expecting you to buy those April 2023 promo in April 2024.
You don't even read the shit you are commenting on, right?
This thread dates from April 2023
