Yearly

SolidVPS · May 16

We’re looking more for monthly terms, yearly would be very challenging.

Bandwidth requirements

Your target price range

Any specific use‑case (backups, media storage, archives, seedbox, etc.)

Thanks in advance

Preferred location(s): Any country in Europe

Specs you need:

1 core 1GB RAM (at least)

CPU doesn't matter as long as it supports x86-64-v3 microarchitecture and has AES-NI instuctions (so realistically not older than xeon e5v3)

Storage size: 0.5-1TB HDD

Bandwidth requirements: 1Gbps, at least 1TB traffic (but more is cool ofc)

Your target price range: No comment 🤐

Use case: Backups/media backups. Nothing too IO intensive.

At least this was what I was looking a couple months ago. Now I have found somewhat fitting alternative. Hope that was still useful

My dear user, are you somehow incinuating that one can have such a thing as too much storage?

Actually, yeah. I had one other storage VPS with 3TB HDD but didn't wanna waste this much storage whereas in reality my backups only take like 200-300GB

You can create another folder on the storage box saying backup-2 ... backup-n

You can sleep well at night that you have multiple redundant copies sitting on a jumbo storage box.

I'm kinda doing something like that actually. Never can get enough redundancy.

SolidVPS · June 29

We've been quietly working on something pretty big over the past few months.

Today we're launching the completely redesigned SolidVPS website.

👉 https://solidvps.com

Some of the biggest changes include:

🚀 Completely redesigned UI from the ground up
⚡ Faster navigation and cleaner ordering experience
💻 New VPS lineup with simplified plans
🖥️ Brand new Dedicated Server section with one of the most advanced filtering systems we've built.

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of servers, you can instantly filter by things like:

• CPU brand/model
• Core count
• RAM
• NVMe or SSD
• Storage size
• Network speed
• Location
• Price
• Instant deployment
• and much more...

The goal was simple: help customers find exactly what they need in seconds instead of minutes.

We've also spent a lot of time optimizing performance, improving the overall user experience, and making everything work smoothly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

If you've used our services before—or even if you haven't—we'd genuinely appreciate your feedback on the new design.

As always, we're continuing to expand our VPS and Dedicated Server offerings across multiple global locations.

Feel free to take a look, test the filters, and let us know what you think!

https://solidvps.com

Looks good. Definitely a lot cleaner and more modern.

forest · June 29

@SolidVPS said: Feel free to take a look, test the filters, and let us know what you think!

It's a lot faster! I like that a lot. I can't find the filters to test...

One thing that confuses me, though, is that FAQs are bit strange, since some don't make very much sense ("What's the difference between KVM and EPYC?" and "What's the performance difference between SSD and SATA?") or have wrong answers and describe services you don't sell anyway ("How is KVM different from OpenVZ?"). A lot of the FAQ entries are not actually specific to the product line they are under, either ("Are there any hidden fees?" which is only under one product).

Some other issues (sorry if I'm being nitpicky!):

When hovering over the locations under "Locations That Work for You", the cursor changes to indicate that they can be clicked, but clicking them doesn't do anything.
I also can't find the "live chat" that is advertised as a feature of the "Starter KVM" product line, nor any information about the advertised automatic failover (which seems like quite the enterprise feature for a low-cost line).
Unlike the other product lines, the "Budget Linux" line advertises dedicated cores (like a VDS), which seems unlikely for such a low price and will probably result in angry MJJs complaining about low but non-zero CPU steal.
There's nothing to indicate if a product is sold out. Everything I clicked led to a sold out WHMCS page.

I like how the navigation works, but I think the layout of the offers and the FAQs should be fixed up.

What I think would be best is to simplify it. Allow users to select what they need from within only a few small categories (e.g. "Standard", "Storage", "High-frequency" that loosely correspond to which node they get put on), with each parameter being independent. I.e. give an option for number of cores, amount of RAM, monthly bandwidth, storage size, etc.

I noticed that the ToS no longer has a blanket ban on Tor relays, instead only banning Tor exit relays. That's awesome!

Infinite redirect in the knowledgebase, btw (although it's in WHMCS and not the new homepage):

All fixed thank you, the filter we are referring to is on the dedicated server page

Ah, I didn't check the dedicated server page! Btw, the infinite redirect still seems to be occurring.

@forest said: I noticed that the ToS no longer has a blanket ban on Tor relays, instead only banning Tor exit relays. That's awesome!

Eh, it's just been changed after I wrote that to prohibit all Tor activity, even bridges. Damn.

Linux and Windows controls, reinstallation, console access, snapshots, backups, networking, Cloud Resources, AI deployments and Game Servers are all managed through Solid Panel.

Solid Panel — Linux

Solid Panel Linux VPS Management

Solid Panel — Windows

Solid Panel Windows VPS Management

Built by SolidVPS. Built for SolidVPS customers. Built for what's next.

🤖 Introducing Solid AI

Now in Beta

We're happy to introduce Solid AI — what we believe is the world's first AI built into a VPS control panel specifically for server deployment and troubleshooting.

Solid AI

New to server administration? Tell Solid AI what you need:

“Deploy a cPanel server for me.”

“Install and configure Docker on my VPS.”

“Troubleshoot my VPS and find out what's wrong.”

Solid AI is not just an advisor — it is a deployment and diagnostic bot built especially for customers who may have little or no systems administration experience.

Tell it what you want to deploy or what is not working, and it can perform supported deployment and troubleshooting tasks directly through Solid Panel. If you ask for advice, it can also recommend the best setup for your available resources.

It's still in Beta, and we're continuing to refine and expand it.

Remember who brought it to you first. We believe this will become a major hosting trend — and we expect many platforms will follow.

🚀 Welcome to the New SolidVPS

28 AI-Ready Templates. Cloud Resources. Cross-Region vRack. Floating IPs. Intel, Ryzen & EPYC Cloud. 50+ Game Server Templates. Pterodactyl. Solid AI.

All powered by Solid Panel.

You know what might be cool? If it could periodically read the VPS' journal and automatically email the customer if something unusual happens (e.g. the kernel is spitting out TCP port exhaustion warnings or systemd is frequently forcing cache flushes). Opt-in, of course, for privacy reasons.

I've actually been thinking of setting up a self-hosted Qwen LLM to do that for all my servers. Not to perform any actions, just to check the logs for anomalies and alert me if anything seems unusual.

Howdy, Stranger!
