Anyone heard of 36cloud? Are they with China?
Just popping up on the Internet and see things. Suddenly this came up and having a "DigitalOcean-like" looking, not only the pages, also the login and control panels.
So anyone heard of'em or even tried services with them?
PS: Currently they're giving away HKD$39 for new customers with their email verified. Weird?
EDIT: Link for them >> http://www.36cloud.com

OMG it's a word-for-word ripoff of the complete DO website, down to the word "extenuating" in
I wonder if they aren't afraid to be sued. And anyways, this doesn't create a good impression of their company.
2Mbps vNIC port, rly?
One difference from DO that stands out"75 Cloud Servers Launched"
Actually, there are differences, but it's obvious they copied most of DO, or maybe Vultr, notably:
Sound ridiculous? An unacceptable practice? Not at all! Different mindset. It's a Chinese culture thing. Chinese think nothing of it, simply a shortcut, very good business sense Especially so for an "innovative" new startup. They feel entitled to do this. After all, they changed the background colors and a word here and there, and most importantly added their own logo, so what's your beef? Live and let live, man! Oh, and welcome to Asia
Where do you get that it's 2 Mbit? I just tested and get 25 Mbit upload to DO SG.
upd: But yes, download is 2 Mbit. Strange enough, usually it's upload that is limited.
Other things, as the OP said the panel is copied too. While it is nice what they offer (also free $5 on sign-up, you can try them free for a month!), I can't support such practice, basically copy-paste an entire competitor's business including website and control panel design, wording, layout and some of the icons.
The domain and supposedly the whole thing is owned by SunnyVision. Servers are in HK at http://bgp.he.net/AS38478
So you can use 103.41.132.1 as a test IP.
36cloud = SunnyVision. Avoid at all costs, BW is the most shit you'll ever see in HK.
TOS from Linode.
Premium chinese cloud, looks fun.
Pretty low ping to Mainland China. The server upload is around 20Mbps and download is 2Mbps.
iperf -c mirror.constant.com
[ 3] 0.0-14.7 sec 37.8 MBytes 21.5 Mbits/sec
iperf -c ping.online.net

It is still the best deal in Hong Kong at the moment, especially if the upload not being capped is intentional and not a bug. But even 2 Mbps in/out at USD$5/month for a 512 MB KVM would still be the best deal around. The routes and speeds did not seem to be unusably bad from my limited testing. And don't forget there are no "costs" involved, the free $5 let you not just try, heck, use it for a month.
Cool, your root password is transmitted easily interceptable at 36cloud.
Hey, it's China. They need to support their millions of users with old pirated windows XP.
Great latency connect to china and apac, anyone test in states?
I just got one. the latency is small. It only has 2Mbps port.
Works just fine, one day testing, stable. Best for their region. 2Mbps not such a problem. I got 3,5 If they add all described locations, DO and Vultr sucks. Are they own similar template?
@William Just blame a real competitor in HK region.
Not true; we were colo customer with SunnyVision - They randomly null IPs for supposed DDoS (on 25kPPS), China connectivity is shit (ping is ok, speed is crap, Inbound route does not match outbound), Asia connecitivity is mainly HE (crap) etc. - Test it yourself but don't come complain then when all this happens to you as well.
EDIS also does not compete with anyone in HK; Pricing level is entirely different and unlike with 95%+ of others the port is 100Mbit and not some 2Mbit shaped crap connection.
Really prefer 2Mbps unmetered than 10-100 with 50-100Gb month Traffic amount matters. There nothing to do with port speed on their region.
considered edis long time ago however china telecom route edis via states and back, while 36cloud gives me direct connection. Port speed doesn't really matter since as soon as you hit those marine cable your speed goes to shit.
There is, most of Asia does not work on 95% billing but on flat ports, thats why you often see 10-100 shared or 1-5 dedicated.
SNIP (Duplicated posting)
Thanks a lot, I have been looking for an hourly billed free trial (no cc needed) to test some stuff.
Ticket system is broken.. Interface elements ripped from DO..

I destroyed my VPS and created a new one and now I am unable to connect to it. I even tried it with a new account. None of my servers can establish a connection either. Ping works fine.
ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 103.41.134.xxx port 22: Connection timed out
Did you try a different OS?
I just reconnected my home Internet (new IP address) and it works. My online.net servers still cannot connect. It must be some IP based ban? Especially since it worked at first on my home connection, then suddenly didn't?
Welcome to SunnyVisions "DDoS protection" which is just a partial nullroute...
There Blog deadpooled: http://36cloud.com/blog/
where?
I just found this:
https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1204218
And then there are the slightly broken website and prices that seem to be random numbers. They really don't seem like a company I would want to give money to.
