    Anyone else running Windows Server OS on this 5 TB / 10 TB storage VPS?

    Actually yes, judging by the early tickets to add virto iso to the VPS.
    Since we modified all services to include the iso as an add-on drive a few moths back, none asked anymore.

    We also have plenty of users running windows for RDP on the C5 Promo VPS.

    Reliability, stability, and performance—exactly in that order—are what drive us every day. After all, if a service isn’t reliable, it’s unusable, whether it costs $7 or $100.

    i've seen a couple of people post screenshots of RDP sessions, seems to work well else they'd be complaining

    The best notification and monitoring system is... our customers! 😄

    We haven’t found a faster problem monitoring app yet! A big thank you to everyone for your prompt notifications.

    @jsg said: I'm still wondering if host_c is mildly insane or if I am.

    :D :D :D

    We’ve taken into account that some users will utilize the service for backups, others for personal video streaming, and some for general usage with plenty of storage space. Our goal is to provide a versatile solution for day-to-day needs, which is why we offer 2 vCores (also to keep up with those crazy 1700+ Ryzen 1vCore Geekbench 6 scores).

    Yes, I admittedly use mine for backup and some storage only. For video streaming and such 2 vCores probably are indeed a big plus.

    Reliability, stability, and performance—exactly in that order—are what drive us every day. After all, if a service isn’t reliable, it’s unusable, whether it costs $7 or $100.

    Full ACK!

    PS: @jsg - there is a small amount of insanity for sure :D

    Compared to my level you are boringly sane *triumphant (and grinning)

    Thanks! I must have missed the upgrade notice. Do you know how much is the upgrade? Is it one-off payment or an additional recurring price?

    Hy @joe99

    From V4 to Xeon Gold the upgrade is a one time payment of 6 USD.

    This upgrade is in limited number, we will process the remaining ones today.

    @ all

    The two new R740XD2 Xeon Gold nodes we’ve just set up will be allocated to upgrading existing customers, as a way of rewarding their loyalty over the past year.

    The existing Xeon V4 nodes will also receive some upgrades before being brought back into production.

    Additionally, we have another batch of Xeon Gold servers coming in that will be used for future promotions and sales.

    This is why we’ve mentioned that this month is particularly busy for us, as we’re making several improvements—not just to the infrastructure but across the board

    PS:
    Please check your inboxes as we sent out an information release yesterday regarding updates to payment gateways and account security

    We’re also working on introducing more premium storage services based on RAID 10. While they’ll be a bit pricier, they’re sure to pack a punch in terms of performance. - No ETA on this for the moment.

    I participated in this CPU upgrade. After the upgrade, the CPU running score doubled, and 4k was better than before. This transaction is very cost-effective. During the migration process, although it took a while, the boss patiently answered my questions, which made me feel very at ease.

    ~1 Mo, Sorry, but sourcing 3 x 24 Drives of at least 14-18 Tb is no walk in the park. ( plus the initial initialization is like 4 days on that )

    We had a few isolated cases where LIVE migrations took over 24H to complete.

    Migration speed is capped depending on the node, not mess with the running services ( or at least to mess as least as possible :D )

    Proxmox is no KING at LIVE migrations with LOCAL Storage either <3 .

    Guys, we had a few complains regarding the upgrade we provided ( V4 -> Gold 6148 ), mainly CPU SCORE.

    Those that sent us the details, did GB5, and we provided GB6 score.

    The 2 versions do tests totally different, GB5 is intended for older systems, it can be used for both older and newer CPUs, but it is more suited to older hardware since it was designed around the technology available at the time of its release in ~2019.
    It may not fully stress or measure the performance of newer CPUs, especially those with advanced architectures and features like large core counts, high memory bandwidth, or new instruction sets like AVX-512.

    Geekbench 6 is designed with modern CPUs in mind and provides a more accurate reflection of how newer processors perform in real-world scenarios. This makes it the better choice for testing the latest CPUs, though it still provides backwards compatibility for older systems.

    As an example, we did GB5 and GB6 on the Gold 6148 System:

    GB5:
    Single Core | 599
    Multi Core | 1179
    Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/22908181

    GB6:
    Single Core | 764
    Multi Core | 1384
    Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/8006164

    That said, if any of you are unhappy with the provided upgrade, simply reply to the ticket, and we’ll move you back to the V4 and issue a full refund. :)
