QuickReview of QuickPacket!

Not_OlesNot_Oles Member, Patron Provider

I am happy with my server at QuickPacket in Ashburn!

  • 2 x E5-2690v4 (28c/56t),
  • 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM,
  • 2 x 960 GB SSD,
  • 1 x IPv4,
  • 1 x IPv6/64 and 1 x IPv6/48 HE Tunnelbroker.net,
  • 250 TB at 10G,
  • Locally built FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT,
  • ZRAID 1,
  • Ashburn, VA USA, and
  • $85/month.

It's $85/month, but it's also 10G and double disk. Many others charge more for less.

The QuickPacket panel has a great, always available HTML5 IPMI which seems to work entirely withut Java. No more .jnlp files! So I can install whatever I want whenever I want, since all I need is to upload an install ISO. The installer preserves the uploaded ISOs for later use on the same or different servers.

It's now a few days into my second month enjoying this nice server! Zero support tickets needed!

  • Looks nice, especially seeing the two disk configuration. I feel like many configurations nowadays are just single disks.

    @Not_Oles Thanks for the review!

    We have two of these servers left over from our July 4th sale (order here). After ordering, reply to this thread with your order number and I'll add the free upgrades to 128GB RAM, 2x 960GB SSD, and 250TB on 10G port.

    If those sell out, we have Dual E5-2697Av4 that I'll post a new offer on.

    The two remaining Dual E5-2690v4 servers were ordered on the OGF. I'll post again in a bit with a link to the new Dual E5-2697Av4 offer.

    Would it be possible to just do 1G unmetered?

  • qpsqps Host Rep, Veteran

    @concept said: Would it be possible to just do 1G unmetered?

    We can limit you to 1Gbps if you prefer. 250TB on 1Gbps would be pretty close to 1Gbps Unmetered unless you are maxing the port 24x7.

    Hello!

    I'm still enjoying my QuickPacket server! Everything continues to work excellently, as expected. Still no support tickets needed.

    Recently I switched the server from FreeBSD to NetBSD! Right now I'm trying NetBSD's ConCatenated Disk (ccd) RAID 0.

    If anybody wants to share the server with me, and is willing to help pay the bill, please let me know.

    Best wishes!

    Tom

    I mean, it's a 10 year old CPU...

    Personally I've set my server rental floor at the Q3 2017 Xeon 6150 Gold or any Epyc processor.

  • Someone interested in installing NetBSD from scratch to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the OS will probably find https://meanmicio.org/2026/09/06/netbsd-11-from-scratch/ a good read.

  • good deal!

    We have two of them in stock pre-configured with 64GB RAM and 2x 1TB NVMe SSDs. We can do the server with 1Gbps Unmetered for $119.99. If you want to proceed, order with the base config, then post your order number here and we'll process the free upgrades. If you need customization beyond that, DM me and we can discuss.

  • Hi @qps, please help me upgrade the order number #9135306897. Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the order. Upgrades have been applied.

  • Me too! Great price and super stable hardware. So far, so good. WAY better than the VPS I was using before
