This will be one of the most wicked KVM servers you have blessed Putty upon. Excellent I/O performance
purpose built for KVM. **NOTE you must open a ticket after signup and before you install your OS requesting
Virtio drivers to be enabled. Otherwise your I/O and network performance will suffer. We are adding a
1 day (24 hour credit) to all KVM accounts to allow for support to enable the drivers. **

Nice offer.
Nice, do you have a speed test file for us to check out the download speed ?
Very nice, I may just try one
Can anyone comment on the performance of this offer? I'm interested, just doing a tad bit of research first. =]
Their 2GB OpenVZ is on LEB, you can find performance tests there.
Edit: I just saw it's Birmingham, disregard what I said
This is some efficient routing: http://pastebin.com/NyZDNDtm
Hmm, just told myself no more falling for these VPS gimmicks but I think I'll get one anyway
ordered kvm one and submitted ticket to enable virtio. waiting for the response.
btw in KVM, do we need to install the OS while connected via vnc?
Nope, you see it all, even the installation process. You have to manually install it unless you have some kinda autoinstall ISO.
@dmmcintyre3
From the inside out to the first reachable hop to you I get a way different story. 12 hops @ 60ms.

Hi Brandon, Do I have to open a ticket always before reinstall OS to request Virtio drivers to be enabled? or it will be enabled once and for all?
This offer sounds good but it is in wrong location. Ping times is about 170 ms.
@sidahmed
I have always set virtio prior to installing the OS. That way the drives get detected the proper way instead of the sad, slow /dev/hda.
Not a bad route from UK Either
http://pastie.org/2685735
19 hops / 140ms ping from germany. Doesn't seem too bad either.

@Brandon_eNetSouth I get 10-12ms from my Hostigation KVM in Rock Hill, SC to the test IP, and sub 21-35ms pings to that VPS from home. I should be getting 40ms max if the routing was decent. (I'm in North Carolina)
I wonder why it is such a train wreck from your place in NC to here? Hitting it from servers we have across the US the times/hops are respectable.
It's only 17 hops/70 ms..
Again, add another payment methods! I wish I could get a fake PP accoutn and load it with money in order to get the VPS!
I'm in NC as well and can ping the west coast (San Jose & Fremont) from here with ~70-80ms, so it's not only 70ms...
For me though my routes go straight to Atlanta then to Burmingham as opposed to Atlanta -> Ashburn -> Washington DC -> Atlanta -> Burmingham... The issue seems to be with TATA Communications routes...

that's one of the better network tests. Uploads are even slower. No rdns support, but decent hardware and great uptime.
A great deal for KVM and super I/O.
Paid and received VPS within seconds.
My kvm is offline few ours,when is online??
My KVM is too offline for more than 8+ hours. No response to the ticket yet.
my KVM is also offline (6+ hours)=.=
not very impressed with the uptime so far haha
Oh, I was going to ask if anyone else's kvm is down. So I take it that it's been down for 12 hrs now?
My OpenVZ is down too, so it's not just KVM.
Its a joke,few hours offline
I dont understand,this is not serious
My KVM VPS is also Offline. I have submitted a ticket and as usual they won't reply.
