Have you opened a ticket?

I rent a VPS from @layer7 and am happy with it. At first, I cancelled due to having issues with Wowza. But Oliver contacted me and convinced me to debug more. Found out it was a problem with chunksizes. Since then, smooth video. No problems. And Oliver has deleted my cancellation on my request.
Very happy. Great resources for the money.
Got a few VPS’s with Layer7. It’s a pretty damn decent service for the price tbh, don’t expect miracles and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
I actually use my ryzen cloud server for production, can’t complain- fairly reliable.
Hi,
and you think not opening a ticket with the provider ( up until right now not ) but writing a post in a forum will help to solve / clarify the issue .... because .... ?? ;-)
If you want us to counter check what you see, then you will have to open a ticket.
From our point of information it should be impossible that you have this kind of results.
This results are only possible, if also something else is running on your server while you are doing the benchmark. At least i dont see another explanation as all ryzen server physical hostmachines are >50% idle.
@layer7 I opened ticket Ticket #582167

I had this twice. By the way, on VPS after a while everything returned to normal
Hi,
turned out that the template for this specific vps plan was not a dedicated, but a shared one. So cpu throttle kicked in from time to time.
Thank you for pointing out! Was corrected.
@layer7 Thank you very much for the quick fix!
Anyone can make a mistake - this is normal, but the best services - quickly fix it!
I recommend!
@layer7 how many storage nodes do you have in PAR location and FRA locations, is it.possible to order multiple storage server but be spread across different nodes? Thanks in advance.
Have several services with @layer7
Excellent performance and network. Superb and quick support too, always.
Recommended provider.
Hi,
technically theoretically possible, but softwarewise not supported from the system in VPS environments.
So, no sorry, wont provide that.
@layer7
When running a Ryzen VPS with 1 additional HDD disk, how can a client monitor that HDD health regarding bad sectors, etc... Is you has the provider who makes that monitoring to ensure disk not fail?
Thanks
Hi,
you are renting a virtual disk. As such you will not monitor the physical disks / server. The provider will have to do that.
Aside of that, usually there is backupspace included in the offer. We suggest you to make use of it to make sure that you have a backup.
The backup will also include your secondary disk. Its a full server backup.
What, is the backup including both vm main disk and the additional disk? then perfect.
Hi,
yes, the backup includes all disks ( primary and secondaries ).
That sounds great! Any way to make the backups run automatic 1xday? Or just manual?
Hi,
that is what we are currently actually implementing. So you can define backups to be made every X days/weeks/months and also define multiple backupjobs.
Should go live end of this / coming week i think.
@layer7 Any update on the automatic backups?
Hi,
the feature is essentially finished. But the responsible programmer is in holidays for a week.
We did not want to make the feature live while the responsible programmer is on vacation.
Will be activated coming monday if nothing comes in between.
@layer7 I am looking at https://login.layer7.net/index.php?rp=/store/cloud-server-mid-cpu-fra1 and can't work out if these servers include an IPv4 address. If not, then which of your VPS offers do include IPv4?
Hi,
as soon as you click on order of any of the servers, you will see the configurable options of the specific product you clicked.
In case of the virtual servers you will usually see the config option:
" Total Number IPv4 Addresses "
And depending on what you select there, its included or not.
Thanks @layer7 !
One last question - how does one provide own ISO for installation? If I need to host it somewhere over HTTP that's not an issue. Can do HTTPS in a pinch
Also is there a lookingglass or another way to check latency./bandwidth to the datacenters?
Hi,
FR = 193.24.211.1
DE = 193.24.219.1
And yes, you give a download URL https / http to "upload" your own ISO's
Personally I haven't use their service but from what I read, Layer7 is prem
FR is not working for me
i can see 30 Euro setup fee for some server , is this an error ?
Hi,
i have to correct myself:
DE Testip = 193.24.209.1
... sorry for the typo!
Please check again!
And yes, we want to slow down sales currently. So the most cheap servers have with IPv4 currently a (high "dont buy me" ) setup.
So, I got my server. It's a FRA1 "mid" CPU, the one with 16GB RAM. The setup fee for IPv4 was just 5 Euro, entirely reasonable, not a "don't buy me" in my book. The only catch to be aware of is that the web prices are exclusive of VAT, a least if one is in the EU; my final price was plus 23 percent because I am in Ireland. (The display issue might only exist on the desktop or on some IPs; the mobile browser, using mobile data, was showing different prices somehow)
I enabled the free /64 IPv6 network (might come in handy) and the HDD at 2TB (cheap storage, love that).
Accessing using a private key one has to download, instead of uploading my public key, was a new experience and I was lost for about 5 minutes, then realised I need to both have it at permission 600 and to specify the file name using "ssh -i". Then I accessed the server, added my own public key, now everything works in the regular way.
I spinned the server up with Debian 12. I see that the hard disk storage at /dev/vdb is unformatted - that's actually great for my purposes - and the block device size as per
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/vdbis exactly 2048 binary gigabytes.Before putting my own specific stuff on the server using an ISO, I ran yabs and nws.
Here's yabs. The GB6 is nothing to write home about, but I did pick a "mid" CPU, and this is exactly a "mid" CPU. I'd write the 4k I/O results off to the CPU too, as the higher-block results are perfectly fine at this level. I don't really know what's happening in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but yabs results on my home machine show problems with it as well, so not a layer7 issue. The lower speeds to the American continent are something I am seeing from my own home too (the main reason I wanted a VPS in the EU). In general this looks well-rounded and great for the price to me.
Here goes nws. The Japan and China results are maybe a bit disappointing but I don't really need those destinations a lot.
@layer7 I did get confused with one thing, asking here because I think it's interesting for other people as well. There is an option to initiate a backup. But I don't see if any backup slots are included in the plan and how much a backup slot costs.
Also, is it possible to backup (and then restore) the main storage but NOT the additional HDD storage? I'd like, ideally, to be able to respin the server in case I mess it up, but keep the data that it saves intact.
And I just wanted to demonstrate that you simply get an error message when you try to create a backup but your slots are used up - but it somehow worked. @layer7 did you increase the backup slots for the servers which initially had only 1?
