We already announced to reevaluate our plans for black friday
I'm looking forward to it, I believe this is a crazy plan
All benchmarks are synthetic, so here's a different one: running a LLM locally to see how many tokens/s it produces:
Llama3.1 8B is a tad faster though:
(this is on the Genoa M)
Any plans to accept crypto payments in the future?
Yes, we are going to add that into our new backend.
Looks we are also going to release a public beta soon
Have you thought this through? It’s none of my business, but especially as a German entrepreneur, this also has tax implications (profits from the sale of cryptocurrencies, valuation of these currencies, etc.). You should also consider which customer segments you are targeting with cryptocurrencies (and whether they are really your target group).
He doesn't need to hold crypto. Use cryptomus to accept / process payments and get paid in EUR into his bank account. As for the target audience, what are you trying to imply?
Yo! I can recommend @ProHosting24. I have grabbed VPS from previous Black Friday deal and uptime is 100%. What's more VPS is blazing fast, means not oversold. Highly recommended!
A larger share of problematic, shady clientele - what else?
(I don't have a horse in this race and I'm not implying that everyone who use crypto is criminal or doesn't have legitimate reason to pay with crypto, just responding to your question.)
On the contrary, provided basic screening measures are adhered to (No VPN/Proxy IPs to place orders, check against massive divergence between address on file with IP geolocation data & basic FraudRecord checks), crypto users are more likely to behave as they cannot easily get refunds and / or partake in charge-backs.

We just ended the offer again. We have sold somewhere around 700 VMs through LET alone .> @hcj said:
Yes, we already have processed legit transactions 4 years ago with solana iirc.
There are cases (the one you already mentioned), where it makes more sense to spend the crypto asset then cashing them out eg. (realised capital gains to be exact)
We have planned on just keeping crypto payments in their respective wallets and to not cash out despite creating the invoices and paying taxes.
We don't think that we are going to make >10% of transaction volume via crypto, which at least would be easy to let lie around.
And regarding the customers, we planned to enforce more strict KYC anyway because we suspended already a bunch of accounts and >100 VPS from ths deal. Would be nice to be sure about never accepting those folks as customers again.
Oh the first sentence was still a draft from which upon we decided to rather take some more standby 7443p nodes online
Are there plans to offer support for custom iso's?
Plans? There are over 120 ISOs to choose from
And when I opened a ticket with a link to an ISO I wanted to use, it was quickly made available too.
Such a great price?
Not easy to maintain that actually.
Seems like we got in need of automatically suspending accounts permanently.
Some users are hosting all kinds of quilibrium gaga crypto web3 and storage blockchain nodes.
So far we suspended over 100 VMs 🥲
It was just a question. As you said there are plenty of ISO's available. Some of us are just paranoid or prefer their own in some usecases.
Yikes.

And still not a single "ProHosting24 suspended me without reason" complaint thread?
Outrageous!
Well we just shut down accounts and refund remaining credit, those users probably move on then to fuck up other providers.
I could imagine such posts arising as soon as we begin to retain credit.
Big thanks to this community, you cant imagine how good it feels to have other people look at this form of abuse in the same way.
Hello, I have read your TOS, which states: "It is prohibited to store or distribute illegal or copyrighted content on the products provided."
I would like to ask if this is strictly prohibited as it is written, meaning that if you find such content, you will take action immediately, or if you only take action when a copyright holder files a complaint?
I have a Japanese gravure idol photo website that I intend to migrate over. Would this be accepted or rejected?
unfortunately, this has not yet had a noticeably positive effect on the gb6 score of my vps.
@hyperblast , don't worry too much about the scores. Are you slow in your transactions? Are you having problems?
This way you look like someone who always wants Prada, Channel, Gucci but buys from the bargain market
I can't complain given the affordable price tag of the service. Depending on the time of the day I get like 2-15% steal while running a geekbench but overall the results are kinda stable (± 5%) since I got the server.
This is a whole another discussion which was answered by other users multiple times already.
We never advertised these speeds in our post nor in any yabs we posted, so we also never guaranteed these exact scores for our new hypervisor generation.
But to repeat the answer multiple users presented to you already: scores that you achieved when the hypervisor had <5% load aren’t going to be achieved even when the hypervisor has a load <50%.
This has been explained in more detail with reference to @advinservers and his deeper insights into this topic regarding new genoa CPUs.
Therefore i don‘t quite understand your needs, we can offer a dedicated genoa node just for you alone with one 4 core and 16gb memory vm on it for your benchmark. With booked management by us you will even have the posibilty to use our CEPH cluster. But i am sure that you are not interested in that, therefore please explain to me what i can do for you.
Also we have only been able to suspend users that pull 100%, there are still +50 vms that we need to suspend which participate in this kind of abuse by limiting the load they cause with their blockchain and mining apps to constant 90, 80, 70% and so on.
CPU Steal has been under 0.32% for me over the past month.
On request by legal copyright holders or their represantetives you have the chance to remove that content. If you decide to rather infrige one entities rights then we are going to suspend your account.
