"At this price point" which one? the $0.10 per month for a KVM VPS that you can run for free for 4 months with the free credit you get just by signing up?
Well.. you know what they say about expectations
Basic/low is 25 Mbit, the default settings will burst higher than 100mbit, it actually can get closer to 300 on the higher tier.
Please can we declare @FAT32 MIA, starting to get concerned..
Actually, not particularly commenting on the specifics of the allowances, but you might want to explain what low, medium and high mean in real numbers in regards to CPU priority, IOPS and network. Each of them seem to just ±$0.01/m which kind of suggests that it doesn't really make much difference. I guess all low to all high is +$0.07/m but maybe this level of granularity on each isn't worth having. Like if I care about IOPS I probably also care about CPU priority.
Equally, if there's a vague "don't be excessive" warning and people aren't supposed to max things out anyway, then that seems contrary to allowing someone to say "but I paid extra for high CPU priority, high IOPS and high network throughput".
TBH I don't really know, but it's just an extra thing to decide before you order, and each extra thing is another chance of someone deciding not to bother.
FWIW one comparison point is Oracle where IOPS is scaled to disk size. Not sure that's always great, but it's a useful way to simplify down the choices. (Although in my case it does mean I have a 100GB drive when everything comfortably fits in 10GB).
Plot twist: FAT32 is @itsTomHarper
Both last seen Jan 11?
Well, I appreciate you dont have context as this is a sales megathread, a much longer introduction thread was done on the other green forum, but this is a from the ground up project (One of many) put together by a very small team, we are more than happy to admit, we dont know what we dont know yet, that is why it has been released this way rather than set anything in stone, the project is in Alpha status, not even Beta, we are gathering information from users actual use so we know.
It is largley self funded, TierHive is not a cash grab or a corporate-style business, its people with a not-so-serious edge, figuring stuff out and adapting and being happy to learn from mistakes.
I have been in different segments of this business for the better part of 20 years now, and got tired of the cookie-cutter WHMCS+panel = "host" method (No offence intended), it's so inflexible, so this is an attempt at something different, it may fail, we might get it badly wrong, we are all ok with that.
There are a lot of moving parts to this and only so much time, but you are right, and others have said, it needs more specifics and clarity around resources, which has been the leading feedback, actually, and I promise it has been heard, if you are not sure what you are ordering, why would you order?
At the same time, the truth is we did not know if we would set the baseline XYZ resource at 100, 200, 300, etc etc, is 1 CPU at full core burst better than 2 with a share limiter, do 95% of people ever even hit 100% for more than 1 minutes etc etc, this is all data we are gathering and we will adapt, thats why no specific numbers are on a few things, because they change, some of them have already changed a few times in the last month.
tl;dr give us a bit of time, and it will get there, in the meantime, free credit on sign up so nothing to lose by trying, we don't even want your personal details, spread the word, the more people we load up even if they never convert to a paying customer, the more data we can get, the better the decisions we can make.
and @maverick is @DP
BTW, these weren't intended as criticisms, more feedback. But you're right, the mega-thread probably isn't the best thread for this discussion.
for sure @DP
I won't complain that kind of speed for a $0.10/m vps.
I'm referring to the calculator $1.5/m or $0.0021/h vps (1g,20g). It would be nice if you allow 5-10GB ingress burst for installation purpose, before throttling kick-in (100mbps)
Don't you dare put those words in your mouth!!

We do, just select High Performance when creating the VPS, do your install, change it back to medium or low in the resources tab, its 1 hour minimum on everything.
I hope that clarifies.
Any 7/Y deal?
Or better 3/Y ?
merry xmas @backtogeek
Why I was expecting that you have send merry xmas to someone when I opened the megathread?
Merry Xmas @tfgp99
me and @tfgp++ have some invoices if you can pay soon.
Thank you for explaining. I will try experimenting with your service later.
And it would be very nice if it's calculated by minute or 10 minutes with minimum, let's say 10-30 minutes minimum.
Does stopped vps consume non-storage resource?
it sure would but you know, its hard enough tracking token based billing per hour, you would not believe the scale haha, per minute... i doubt a cron would even complete in time, so thats not really possible.
While it exists, you are charged, the roadmap has the ability to freeze a VM so you are only charged for storage, and a deep freeze so you are only charged for storage but it may take time to "thaw" your VPS from cold storage, but that will be once (IF) we get to BETA stage.
Thanks for the feedback though, appreciated.
This service is not for everyone, if it does not work for you its fine, no problem, we appreciate its different, thats why we give free tokens on sign up so you dont waste anything and maybe have a bit of fun.
So far I have notice that a LOT of people are using the ipxe/pxe config to play around with network installs, unsure if thats just for learning or fun, its a lost skill in my opinion and a great one.
I play all the time too, its basically my cloud based homelab of 128MB ninjas.
Thank you!
Merry Xmas everyone!!! I had a shitty day.
Let's carry on.
ow, at giga. I like. Prem
where are the dinos?
That's the whole host though, not the VPS.
Yeah so if they fuck up it's on them, not the host
But rather go with giga directly tbh. They're a real gem and occasionally drop insane offers.
