  • @sandro said: will the offer be for iperweb too?

    IPERWEB.COM
    Creation Date: 06-aug-1997

    even if it was registered a few months later the idea of a "hosting" brand was in the air since the beginning...

    the LET exclusive offer will be one... The other offers will be for both budget and business plan

    It was emailed to existing customers.

  • I've got one, a full review coming soon :)

    I don't know if @prometeus wants to post the deal here himself so I'll leave it for now.

    the only VPS i have giving a better ioping result is SSD based. Definitely a very fast i/o. Raid SAS2 disks and gigabit ethernet:

    Can anyone share the email in a PM? If it is allowed for non current customers.

  • sandrosandro Member

    I'd like to know too

  • netomxnetomx Moderator, Veteran

    Congrats my friend!

  • Wow! You're fast :-)

    All interested pm me or wait a few days for the offer to be posted.

    Thanks

  • bobbybobby Member

    Congrats, and thanks for this nice offer. Had to get me one :)

  • bobbybobby Member

    Existing customers first was a nice touch, btw :)

  • pcanpcan Member

    @prometeus: Do you plan to offer NFS storage space in the (near) future?

  • @pcan said: Do you plan to offer NFS storage space in the (near) future?

    local NFS storage to the VPS?

  • pcanpcan Member

    Your offer is pretty good on performance (the E5-2620 rocks!) but the disk space is a bit small. A storage local to the VPS could be useful for many purposes, should the necessity arise.
