Doesn't look like the SSD link is going to the correct place.
Thank you! Fixed.
Nice deal
Buyer beware.
This provider has changed their AUP to reduce the value of existing services.
Link to previous AUP archived, updated AUP archived.
In the previous AUP, every VPS is allowed 35% persistent CPU and mail ports are open.
In the updated AUP, every discounted VPS is allowed 25% persistent CPU and mail ports require $25 fee (including encrypted mail ports to relay providers such as MXroute).
As reported on OGF, this change is retroactively applied to existing services, reducing the value of active services during their contract period.
This provider cannot be trusted.
That is true, so things do change for good reasons, to sustain and maintain. And in reality we are only enforcing 35% persistent CPU right now and are probably going to change the AUP again back to 35%. If anyone is limited to 25% they can contact us because that is not the current situation. Also 25% CPU persistent was supposed to be focused for huge discounted purchases to balance out the difference between discounted and going product prices, but that's not even the case anymore as I mentioned. And the cpu limits are fully automated by scripts that check persistent CPU AUP violation above 35% get rate limited to 35%, once the cpu rates go below 35% the full 100% burst is enabled again, no manual intervention involved. This is to protect all customers on the VPS hosts from negative impact from resources neighboring effects.
Email sending fee is there to protect the network from spammers since there are many smtp services that do much better than a VPS ip that should be used via api. Ipv4 leasors charge $20 to $40 per abuse incident, we just pass that along to the customer.
@yoursunny Instead of criticising without knowing why these AUP points have changed, why dont you post questions asking why it changed to provide more insight and value instead of calling out changes in a negative way that provide no value?
How were those changes communicated to existing customers? Did you clearly communicate the reasons for those changes to customers?
They were emailed. Again, the 25% CPU rate is not the situation, it is fully automated to 35% now when AUP is violated, and return to 100% burst automated as well. It's a daily script. Currently updating the AUP again. The SMTP allowance is not going to change from this though to protect from abusive email spammers. Our ipv4 providers fine $20 to $40 per incident so we have to take preventative measure.
thanks for you advice. Would be buying but no more.
If you were not intending to spam, then it would not be any different than before. So there is no difference there. Please read our responses in the comments. The AUP is being changed again because we are not rate limiting 25%, it's where it was before since it's now automated.
https://charityhost.org/acceptable-use-policy/
Please see that the AUP is up to date now to reflect the current status. The CPU 25% sustained limit was changed prior, not recently, and was reverted but the AUP was not yet updated to reflect that it is automated and indeed 35%. The smtp clause will not change right now and was the most recent update prior to today
But there is a $25 fee for being able to send any mail (for a $12/year VPS) - sounds like a difference to me.
I really don't get the thing about ports 465, 587, and 2525 - are there any systems that accept mail on these ports without authentication? What next? A fee to unblock port 22 because someone might run an SSH server somewhere that doesn't require a password?
Yes, that is to protect the reputation of our IP subnets. We already had issues with customers VPS abusing, it's sensible and you can use smtp2go.com or any smtp service by api as an alternative. If you really need smtp, and do not spam, then it's not a problem just pay the $25 fee to unblock, it is a placeholder in case there is spamming abuse. It's a good point though, that the fee could be and perhaps should be a retainer fee, and upon cancellation of services can be refunded, will consider this to be fair. And NO, ssh will not be blocked but brute force ssh attacks against other servers IS disallowed and will be flagged as abuse.
@cmeerw Appreciate the feedback and take it seriously. Changing the AUP to be $25 retainer fee that is refundable for SMTP enablement.
Well done @CharityHost_org . Another day, another low-end ticket handled well
+1 for @CharityHost_org
Still being throttled. https://hetrixtools.com/report/uptime/4c7f2654815e1d5ad327d44e7d1a9ee3/
I received the email yesterday about the new AUP. Also new is:
Swap Space: Permitted, but overuse (more than 25-30% of RAM) may lead to performance issues that can be flagged manually.Hopefully all these new restrictions (like closed email ports) don't apply to already purchased VPS's of customers who have no history of abuse.
I understand trying to protect your assets and IP reputation from abusers, but existing customers who have not been a problem should be exempt.
Thank you for the alert!
Beware of FUD mongering.
Please do check: https://charityhost.org/aup
Yes customers with a good standing following the acceptable use policy would not be affected. That's normal. I understand the concerns.
Ok thanks for the clarification. For what it's worth, I do like CharityHost and think they are a really good provider!
Do you know why your services are throttled? If you sustain over 35% cpu ongoing average, the VPS is rate limited to 35%. Once you get that overuse under control, you will have 100% CPU burst again once the average sustained CPU historical is below 35%. The 35% CPU is a metric averaged out daily for all VPS historicals. It's an automated daily check.
Feel free to send a support ticket to get help to resolve this as well. We are happy to help!
Until we have VDS hosting back in the line up, this is the case for all VPS services with us. Fair share.
That actually shows your throttling system is working pretty well, keeping the average right around 35%.
As a quick pivot.
.5 plans will allow 100% burst instead of 50% burst, so you effectively get 1 core at burst 100% with 35% sustained max just like any other VPS.
Another email from the provider regarding existing services devaluation.
Refactoring of VPS HDD Storage services and limitations
Dear [],
We have created new VPS HDD Storage plans to focus on maintaining stability, reliability and performance for all VPS HDD Storage customers.
Recently, we have had to take action on VPS HDD Storage service AUP violations. In order prevent these occurences we have refactored the VPS HDD Storage plans to accodomate all Storage and Backup use cases for VPS HDD Storage customers. These plans are intended for storage and backups, not for compute. The underlying host has IO and resource limitations that cannot accomodate excessive use of compute and IO for services on these VPS.
Due to this, we kindly ask that you focus the use of your VPS HDD Storage service for actual data storage and backups, and not use these as primary compute for services.
We have tried to keep your legacy resources as is, however, as we mentioned, when compute use is excessive, we have to act to protect your VPS as well as others on these hosts. Therefor we have had to align current VPS HDD Storage plans to the new model.
Apologies for any inconveniences.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
@yoursunny Why do you insist in bashing web hosts? If you know anything about servers and HDD IO, you should know better that this is in order to provide better services and stability. Your bashing and FUD mongering is way out of line since it's not even related to this offer.
Mentally strong provider do not oversell CPU or I/O bandwidth.
Mentally strong? What are you talking about, you make no sense.
Lol, mentally strong providers that's funny. Im pretty sure most providers on LET are quite crazy.
Don't see a ton of vds offers on here. VPS = oversold lol.
I'll be the devil's advocate here.
He is calling you out for sneakingly changing AUP, then taking a backstep when called out for it.
You sold services to people, either monthly or yearly payments, then after that you changed AUP or IO rules which also affect them.
Example: I bought a storage service from you, considering to use it for primary services, because when I bought it, there was no limits / restrictions about it. And now after I paid for your services, you introduced new rules about IO limits.
BTW, I am not your customer but heard good things about you on LET.
Usually, if you sell someone a service as provider (ISP, Mobile operator etc etc.) and if you change rules during the contract period, then this is considered as breaking of contract and customer can walk out freely before waiting their contract term end. Because their service terms has changed against them, since they paid for it.
It's like you buy a car, and a month later car company limits your max speed saying that we should watch out for carbon gas emissions.
Edit: To add, @yoursunny is also calling you out for doing these changes because you oversold your resources (Disk IO, CPU etc.)
