Delimiter Provisioning Times

Got in on their $60/year Atom offer just to give their service a try. I did as @MarkTurner instructed and simply signed up for service, and emailed [email protected] asking to be provisioned immediately.
Here are the emails from when I signed up to when my server was provisioned.

It's what you get for the price, although mine arrived within an hour!
The Atoms are pretty quick, got it within 10 minutes of paying.
I ordered late last night so it makes sense that it took until this morning. I'm looking forward to playing around with it. Will likely just be a little php/mysql box.
what are the specs of this atom? also a test IP would be great. I might get one myself
@Alex_LiquidHost just waiting for Ubuntu to finish installing and then I will post the full bench on it.
This is the ad:
`Atom 230, 2GB RAM, 100GB Disk - $5/mo (Atlanta)
$5/month (payable annually at $60/year) - Coupon SAVEAPRIL2014
$10/month (paid month-to-month) - Coupon SAVEAPRIL2014`
I posted a freevps bench in another thread: http://i.imgur.com/rHVMIev.jpg (top bench).
Not bad. I wonder if they can throw in a /29 of IPs.
I don't think you can get more than one IP on the atom. @MarkTurner
Atoms = 1 IP
Here's the benchmarks
CPU model : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz Number of cores : 2 CPU frequency : 1597.113 MHz Total amount of ram : 1970 MB Total amount of swap : 89 MB System uptime : 20 min, Download speed from CacheFly: 55.7MB/s Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 53.8MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 18.8MB/s Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 2.91MB/s Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, NL: 4.58MB/s Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 5.65MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 3.41MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 7.62MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 5.79MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 23.7MB/s I/O speed : 71.7 MB/sIts a pretty good deal
Seriously for $60 a year, it is running nginx with PHP-FPM and is only consuming 100mb of RAM. It runs smooth and I am monitoring it on NodeQuery. Time will tell but so far I'm happy with this purchase.
having to wait days for my dedicate to get set up =-/
The first wait may be a lot longer, but it is really worth the wait(price/performance vs waiting ratio)
But wait, they have private whois! Hahaa
@MarkTurner
is the atom storage some sort of SAN?
I have 2 dedicated servers with DelimiterVPS. The provisioning times vary. The one server I ordered took a few (business) days to get provisioned, the other one was provisioned in less than a day.
can i reinstall os if I have atom 5$ ?
@blackeye yep you can.
@wojons - yes NetApp ISCSI
whether there is a panel for the client to reinstall the os like SolusVM ?
as in datashack should send a ticket to ask install os
You can reinstall the OS from the client area, it's all automated like Solus.
