    I see someone explaining the difference between 2 products which, from my point of view, are completely different.

    Nah, he wasn't just explaining.

    Also, no matter how much the €9 Avoro VPS drops in performance, I doubt it would ever go under the €49 Cherry Servers VPS. Everything else is semantics, albeit the difference between "dedicated" and dedicated could of course be hard to spot on the pricing pages. But so is performance comparison in general as well.

    He denounces unfair competition.
    And he's right, because it is.

    Posting a single message to denounce it doesn't seem like much when you have to put up with this competition all year round.

    You really are biased.
    Of course, Dataforest's product is much better suited to LET.
    That's not the point.

    Yes, objectively, 5x the price for less performance is better.

    You think like someone who only uses hosting for hobbies.
    Masturbating over a price / geekbench score ratio doesn't sum up everyone's needs.

    I can see one company being clear about the products it sells, and another not being so.
    So for the hobby I don't care, but the criteria would be different in another context.

    I repeat myself, the debate isn't about the price / performance ratio….

    Only LET would have such a dumbass, who would drop over 5000€ in VPS servers to test if the resources really are dedicated or not, when everyone else can instantly conclude that most of those servers will share same nodes.

    The only question is, how much is the provider willing to fuck you over? Will he only pocket 2,5k and deploy some hardware worth the remaining 2,5k which wont show such issues, or will he just cram everything in existing nodes.

    Well, what was I to say? I don't even have any servers for any hobby stuff. At all. Zero. None.

    You're aware HostHatch define dedicated cores as you can use how much you want? They don't pin them. If you want that, pay 5x more for less.

  • @SirFoxy said: In my eyes selling regular cores as dedicated cores is a much more respectable grift than actively advertising to alt-right individuals with "freedom of speech" (hate speech) hosting.

    You didn't fix anything. Stop lying. There is zero proof of that. I have all of the screenshots of the high steal servers. This guy needs to be banned from here. It's been proven this company is not only lying about their servers but also trying to steal money after lying and being exposed with proof.

    While I have nothing personally against dataforest, I would personally stay the fuck away from SYNLINQ. To much childish behaviour and dumb stuff going on over there.

    There's a difference between not pinning cpu cores and overselling dedicated cpu cores at hypervisor level and advertise as dedicated.

    Knowing that Hosthatch is very clear about this in the description of their promotional products, and that this is far from being their core business. Unlike others.

    In short, I think we just don't understand each other.
    But it doesn't really matter.

    I've already given my opinion on this kind of commercial practice, which I find deceptive and unfair.

    No hard feelings.

    @CherryServers said: We're really more of a digitalocean type of platform as opposed to a standard VM host.

    At least the big clouds offer tons of managed products. I've used AWS some myself. They certainly provide huge value that can't be measured in YABS. DigitalOcean not so much, a few ones, and that's it.

    They were cool 10 years ago, now they're big much thanks to being early and getting VC funding and now being publicly traded. They really don't offer a very good value. When Hetzner gets a few managed services up, very specific reasons will be required to prefer DigitalOcean, such as access to the unique locations.

    First thing I did at the last company I worked for was move everything from DigitalOcean to Hetzner. Services loaded faster and we saved a lot.

    Sure, you can argue that their wording is wrong, but my code cares about performance, and my wallet cares about the price. The truth is, I don't see you beating Avoro in either performance or price.

    As someone who uses Azure daily, a hybrid approach seems the most sensible for businesses today IMO. Azure + OVH dedis + OVH cloud for example.

    @SirFoxy is just angry and petty, seems to hate everyone and everything about LET. No shock there. You can at least ping me when throwing shots from left field. Generally everyone ignores you for good reason, but I'll partake one time since this would be useful to rebut your nonsense for potential customers:

    actively advertising to alt-right individuals with "freedom of speech" (hate speech) hosting.

    Interesting how to you "freedom of speech" only applies to/or is a dog-whistle for "hate speech". Fundamental difference between us, because it applies to all legally protected speech from where I stand. Run a LGBTQ+ community forum for citizens of Ethiopia? I will gladly host and defend it under the First Amendment to the best of my abilities, the same as I would for any customer.

    At least with one grift LGBTQ+ aren't committing suicide over targeted harassment.

    Ridiculous straw man, non-LGBTQ+ people commit suicide over harassment from every social media platform in existence. That is illegal and law enforcement would be involved. I don't expect you to understand the fundamental reasoning behind why it's important to me that I rely on actual laws and law enforcement rather than random employees in a PR department of unaffiliated third-party companies.

    This guy isn't grabbing random broadband consumer laws and trying to host hate speech in one of the most progressive states in the country and then using it as a fake advertising campaign that they aren't ever going to follow through on because they know they're in the wrong.

    Fake advertising campaign? It was thrust into my lap without any notice. For hours we thought there was a technical issue that we couldn't diagnose. I followed through defending my rights (per contract and MSA) with an upstream. Of course, you are not privy to communications that happened between any of the parties involved so you'll continue doing what you do best: hit and run lies. All parties did come to an agreement, there was fault admitted in how it was handled, and things were put into place to avoid it in the future.

    This guy isn't giving out guns to sell servers.

    Maybe he should?

    I don't understand your arguments.

    Hosthatch does not specify on its site that the cpu cores are dedicated.
    And when they sell dedicated cores they are not pinned but not oversold. At least that's what they claim, and until proven otherwise, that's the case.

    And I don't understand the comparison between a hosting company that bases its entire brand image on servers with dedicated cores and another that doesn't.
    And again, I'm not just talking about Avoro, they're not the only ones concerned.

    Anyway, I've spent enough time on this thread. We're obviously not going to agree, and that's okay.

    Have they said they never ever provision a higher % than the total cores available minus some room for the hypervisor? I don't think so. Please point that out otherwise, I'd love to be proven wrong here.

    @remy said: And I don't understand the comparison between a hosting company that bases its entire brand image on servers with dedicated cores and another that doesn't.

    I don't get this point, because it's not the main product it's okay? What? It actually is HostHatch's main product btw... % dedicated...

    Yes, I have a lot of issues with LET that were not addressed. Starting with holding hosts accountable with a public registry that requires valid business addresses for everyone operating here and identity verification for the hosts.

    That's why I quit writing for here and you're a big part of the problem.

    But I don't hate LET, and I don't hate everyone. Just you and many of your friends.

    I look at you no better than a guy like @dustinc -- you both participate in the same kind of pay-to-win and incentivized spamming behavior. He just doesn't act like he's better than anyone.

    This forum has a serious lack of culture that has been replaced with greed. You're literally giving out guns to incentivize spamming.

    You have no sense of morals. Your morals are money.

  • emghemgh Member, Megathread Squad

    @remy I think I recall seeing HostHatch define dedicated cores as "we can remove any non-dedicated cores and then you can use how much you want", which is how @dataforest defines it as well. You will have to stop liking HostHatch to stand by your POV :(

    Indeed, general compute for APIs, webservers etc, AKS, blob storage, no big deal for running production applications on Azure IMO. When you get into high bandwidth applications or large amounts of compute, the benefits drop off dramatically.
