yeah! for 8 bucks. count me in!
perfect on all the four points
cpu kind , memory & storage, data port, bandwidth
bangers ngl. absolute bangers one after the other
Genoa Los Angeles restocked
We’ll actually include 6GB RAM for $8. We’ve opted to settle for 192GB configurations.
Ryzen 9950X (1 vCPU)
Dedicated vCPU
6GB DDR5 Memory
128GB NVMe SSD
5TB Bandwidth @ 10 Gbps
$8/month
We will start with Miami and then add Germany shortly after.
These are completely dedicated, no overselling at all. Only 32 vCPU will be allocated per hypervisor, no more than that.
Let's see how smoothly this little beast will run @dev_vps 4K videos.
Not sure if I should jump on the Genoa restock or wait for the launch 😅
for 4k video test to indicate vps computing power
This should be enough
with 2x Ryzen 9950X vCPU, I would like to go one step further
-- 8k video test
-- 20 million rows database test
-- App using LLM reference
these are going to fly lmao. bandwidth is low but for the money god damn
Allhost offers a better price per unit of RAM. (AMD Genoa)
Our AMD Genoa lineups are at $1/GB for >16GB, and we’re available in far more locations. For plans under 16GB, the prices are relatively the same.
The price per GB is more for the 9950X, but it has the advantage of higher single threaded performance. It all depends on what you need, Allhost is also solid.
Ryzen 7 (as well as 9) has better single thread performance as.compared to Genoa.

Looks like Amazon disables SMT on their Genoa instances. If EPYC Turin 128c CPUs come into mainstream availability, that’s also likely what we’ll do.
They're doing it due to security concerns, I think. Too many CPU bugs encountered last few years, and fully protecting one thread from another on the same CPU seems almost impossible to do to CPU manufacturers.
There was a time, some years ago when first CPU bugs were discovered, when I tested running without SMT on several servers, and indeed some performance was lost, up to 20% in some cases (usually 10-15%).
So, in the end it's the security vs performance compromise, you need to sacrifice one to have more of the other. This being low end... I don't see many providers turning off SMT
, but good luck to you, you seem to care about details more than average LET provider.
@Advin dont forget to post YABS
When equipped with 1TB RAM, our nodes hover around 30-40% which is a bit close to comfort on disabling SMT. Extra 32 cores with Turin will likely help and allow us to disable SMT.
The problem is when host nodes go over 50% and start utilizing threads, the performance starts to go down tremendously. So I only consider 50% CPU usage to be “real”, anything over 50% is something I would consider to be over allocating.
I think I’ll run some tests regarding this
If you keep the same amount of RAM and disk, and increase only number of CPU cores, then absolutely. Somehow I thought you increase all resources in tandem, but it's probably not always the case, of course.
Of course, and it is because after 50% you only have SMT to give those 5-20%, meaning you're much higher than 50% usage in reality. But, it gets worse than that, such busy CPU starts using much more power, heating up and then thermal control kicks in lowering CPU clock which additionally lowers performance.
You're absolutely right that generally there's not much juice after 50% CPU usage (on SMT enabled CPU's), and it should be considered the end. Those that think that they can cram double number of VPS on an already very busy CPU get proven wrong very quickly with customers mad due to CPU steal and bad performance.
If you're keeping your hosts at 30-40% usage, you're doing an excellent job, congrats.
Then again, as I do have one of your VPS, I know first hand that there's very little if any CPU steal, that's why I'm still your loyal customer.
go! go go go!
hostiko here (but i will go with you guys!):
Looks good
Can you provide a germany ip for route test?
I would like to inquire if there are any limitations on storage space and the number of files for Las Vegas DirectAdmin Hosting. Since we are running an e-commerce website, we have a large number of image files that require storage.
Hi, if you can, just open a ticket with the estimated amount of storage that you'll be using
204.10.194.30
We've now introduced the following templates
We've updated the following templates
@Advin mate, any news on that Johor Bahru location?
Vote Johor!
When Standard VPS resctocked in Germany?
I've been waiting since September 1st for confirmation of my payment and activation of the service. They don't respond to tickets.
they do respond theyre just a bit slow with tickets. pricing and performance makes up for it for me
Hey, if it's payment related, it might take a little bit. We'll check on it for you shortly. If a payment was on hold, then it may take some time for it to be released by PayPal.
So if a customer sends a payment to your PayPal account and it is subject to a hold of up to 21 days, you will not provision until this is cleared?
