@rpqu said: 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)

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.

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.

I know it's asking much from alpha phase. Compared to fly.io, yours is cheaper if it was run for more than 432s

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.

Great, that would shave minutes from provisioning to ready for the action

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.

The free token is great. I could figure out the optimal configuration with zero cost. It's a shame such great policy got ruined by mjj.

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.

Right. It's a lost skill beside optimizing program, kernel, etc

🌍 Why These Deals Are Even More Insane Than They Look

We just launched three brand-new premium locations that make these flash sales even more valuable: 🇭🇰 Hong Kong, 🇩🇪 Frankfurt, Germany, and 🇳🇱 The Hague, Netherlands. All three are powered by M247 datacenters with AMD EPYC Genoa 9254 processors, brand-new servers, RAID10 NVMe SSD storage, and massive bandwidth included.

Here's the thing: You won't find prices this low for hardware this good anywhere else. For example, take our Advanced VPS flash sale at €12.50/year. That's 2.5GB RAM + 5TB bandwidth for less than €1.05/month. I don't think there's a single provider out there offering more than 1GB RAM and 500GB-1TB bandwidth in Hong Kong for €10-15/year. We're giving you 2.5GB RAM + 5TB bandwidth at the same price point, in premium datacenters, on brand-new AMD EPYC Genoa 9254 servers with RAID10 NVMe storage.

That's the value we're offering. Premium hardware, massive resources, brand-new infrastructure, all at prices that seem impossible.

🎄 Plus: Our Christmas Sale Continues!

On top of these flash sales, we're continuing our incredible Black Friday deals for Christmas: the same massive discounts that thousands of people loved and ordered.

Up to 82% OFF on annual VPS plans: Starter VPS from just €10.90/year (€0.91/month)

55% lifetime recurring discounts on monthly plans: DIY VPS from just €3.38/month, and the discount applies forever on every renewal

Windows VPS with 55% OFF forever: perfect for Windows applications and RDP access

Dedicated Servers with 35% OFF: enterprise-grade bare metal servers

All available in our new premium locations (Hong Kong, Frankfurt, The Hague) plus all our existing locations: Tokyo, London, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, Dallas, Bucharest, Timișoara, and Constanța.
