They actually loose online.net money so they don't offer them 24/7
Never.
Not sure they will be coming back buddy.
They can come back, but not at 2 Eur. I would guess more like 4-5.
Forget the kidechire. When will we see the ARM server offers?
In about 2 weeks I might have some freeing up to outsource.
You can get an invite to http://labs.online.net/ and use them for free for the time being.
More importantly, when will we see the end of people posting topics asking 'when are the kidechire's coming back' on a forum full of people who have no fucking idea when they're coming back, and 2 people who might know but won't say anything.
Soon™
I don't think they've ever said that, have they?
No, but others. And it normally meant: "Never". :-)
So, "when will we see the end of people..." -> Never.
CC proved otherwise. Soon™ just means 'several years later'.
Well, there is a good chance then that we will see the end of people posting stuff like this in "several years". Better than nothing!
Yes, and
^ Does the server crash often for you, or do you have some bandwidth shaping set up?
I find that the server tends to crash if you use the bandwidth a lot. Possibly something to do with the fact that the storage is network mounted.
I've 2 of those still lying around, let me know if you're interested in those
One of my two servers was locking up every couple of days, only a hard reboot via the panel helped. Finally I powered it down entirely, then started up again -- I believe this allocated a different physical server for me; after that, no more lock-ups whatsoever.
And the first one (the one which these stats are from) was rock-solid since beginning, 72 days uptime at the moment. 2nd one 40 days uptime.
It looks like they still have some hardware issues to iron out.
Any special deals will be announced here and on Twitter
Ah, maybe I should try that then. Thanks for the tip.
I've never "stopped" the server, only hard rebooted. I've noticed that I can easily get >30 days' uptime if I don't really use the network, but I run some torrents, it seems to fall over after a few days (I suppose it could be disk related too), requiring a hard restart to fix. Haven't experimented much with download rate limiting though.
Pricktease
Never.
Any idea how much those ARMs will cost? I dont want to use anything for free, that was only a 15 minutes test instance.
If they will be like the kidechires, 2-3 Eur, regular, not special offer, will be great.
Around 4 eur and they said soon since November 2014. Today is March. Soon is next year.
Source?
It can't realistically cost more than their own SCGen2 (5.99 EUR/month).
just hearing in IRC from their staff. it says to compete with digitalocean $5 price.. maybe slightly cheap or slightly expensive but around that $5
Hope no setup fee for online cloud
How do you even imagine there will be setup fee on a service where you can create/destroy your servers at any time, billed hourly?
At registration/account creation ?
Look at iwstack, they charge money one time
