i think the plans specified above were restocked , i just got a new vds
same!
yes all xen FAT and SLIM and KVM FAT and SLIM are restocked
This week we will restock the hybrid plans as well and the dedicated servers plans
Thanks
@servarica_hani: For the Unified FAT, was the storage modified from 500 GB HDD per slice to 250 GB NVMe per slice? I wrote reviews for those that need updating
Edit: Nope, the slices haven't been modified. I'm just dealing with some dangling reviews that no longer match their product after the restock for some reason.
We didnt change anything so it should be as before exactly
I just got the 16gb slice but I actually would like to upgrade it into a bigger package, is it easier to contact support or cancel and order the bigger package? As I don't see the option to directly upgrade, ty!
@Thermostatic
if you dont care about data cancel and make new order and open a ticket to get fully refunded
Thanks
Only hours in but so far I'm very impressed! Thanks @servarica_hani !
Yabs?
Yabs for kvm slim slice 2:
Ok, @fuqet ... This is KVM Fat Slice 2 ... hypervisor probably not very busy since I was probably the first person to order and get service with the new allocation, but who knows. I did -r to reduce number of iperf runs a bit... Oh, and I enabled BBR and some other TCP tuning (normal stuff people would do I suppose).
Thanks, ordered mine.
Superb! Share your YABS after 3 months
any chance i can switch my octopus vdses to this plan?
@servarica_hani got the answer that I need and followed the support's advice.
slim 2c8r is amd EPYC?
/proxmox-vps-plans/kvm-slim-slice-2-plan
I'll share mine: I've had this 8 core server since December. It's still running other processes, before I started yabs the system load was around 4. I picked 250 Mbit/s + 1 per day instead of higher bandwidth with a limit.

I've always suspected my 8 cores could be 8 half cores. Is that possible?
What's this plan? It seems disk speed is slower than plan Slim Slice 2
I think its probably due to xen - disk speeds are relatively lower , idk about the gb6 scores though

What are the differences between these lines of products ? IF you could summarize please. Which one out of them is the best performance ?
FAT = BIGGER STORAGE
Is the monthly traffic allowance calculated bidirectionally (counting both ingress and egress traffic) or unidirectionally (e.g., egress only)
Did the service fail ？
It seems to be due to my personal reasons
Got the "Chimera Hybrid 3" (KVM) when it first became available. It has worked fine for me as a daily backup . Dont really stress it out as the sending server is upload limited to 100Mb
Previously I had the "Lobster Unlimited Expanding Storage Plan" (XEN) . I prefer the terminal responsiveness and disk speed of the KVM offering.
The issue with the XEN offering could have been my configuration. The Lobster expanding plan did not separate the OS drive from the storage pool. I manually separated them and used zfs on the storage pools drives, which could have led to IO delays. Support was always happy to move me to a new node the couple of times I opened a ticket. But eventually the io wait would come back.
Happily the "Chimera Hybrid 3" (KVM) separates the OS drive from the storage pool and has been snappy for me
Can the KVM plan provide IPv6 ？
yes ipv6 can be provided by request
yes all SLIM and FAT plans are AMD EPYC ROME they are either EPYC 7532 or 7452
Yes Unfortunately it is due to xen ,
Xen disk access is much slower than KVM , it is historical when xen was developed the fastest storage was HDD while kvm picked up fast with other storage types
