Online Lab cloud first hand review
I just got the invitation from Online.net.
The server I am testing C1, "a 4-cores ARMv7 CPU with 2GB of RAM and a 1 Gbit/s network card."
https://doc.cloud.online.net/faq/server_faq.html
So, basicly this is a real server, not a VPS.
Storages can be in SSD or HDD, but attached via internal network.
Pros:
Good peering with EU
Scaling
No CPU&ram oversell
DDOS protected
Reserved IP addresses
Object storage
Quick deploy: as quick as Digitalocean
Several one-click install Apps
Cons:
Shi**y peering with Asia, even with North America
No email sending: get yourself a Mailgun or Mandrill instead(maybe only during the preview?)
It's ARM, not x86

OMG the Unixbench is low...
Comments
There have been quite a few in depth discussion on this over the past few months.
From DO Singapore to Online.net ARM:
Quite interesting.
Benchmarking download from Linode, Tokyo, JP (http://speedtest.tokyo.linode.com/100MB-tokyo.bin)
Got 147KB/s
Well....
Getting 1.5 MB/sec from that one, in your 1st post it's 1.56 MB/sec as well.
IOPing terrible
"LOCAL"
LHDD
LSSD
@cnbeining @rm_
What kernel version do you each have running? Some of the mainline kernels have network (and disk) performance issues.
How does this arm cpu compare to the RPI 2 I wonder...
Default Ubuntu 14.04.
Type "uname -a" in a console:
How many LHDD can be added to a server?unlimited?
I change to new stable kernel ,
Linux server01 3.2.34-29 #16 SMP Thu Mar 12 09:45:43 UTC 2015 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
and I get
I received the invite too. Unable to verify phone number.
Are you sure that's on online.net ARM, because those don't have IPv6.
If not, I wonder what relevance your post has to this thread.
If yes, you should mention what type of IPv6 tunnel or tunnel broker did you use.

What a CPU power!
Weak CPU power.
C1: ~400
Kimsufi KS-1: ~600
DigitalOcean: ~900
It's an ARM, not a Ferrari.
But it's close to Atom D425 (1-core with HT) http://serverbear.com/1972-ks-4g-yearly-kimsufi
Yes, but one powerfull core better than four weak core. I would choose ATOM D425
>
Let me remind, Odroid, Banana Pro etc... There are MANY powerful ARM processors as well. Way more powerful than 400 benchmark on a single core let alone 4 of them.
This might work if this is released at the price of a Kidechire, mayhaps.
But other than that it is no good in terms of CPU power. Imagine the performance of apps that run on a single core.
Aha, that's a very old kernel. If you click Show next to Advanced Options in the Online Labs CP for your server there's a Bootscript section -- click Edit there and change the bootscript to either the (stable) or (latest) kernel, then reboot your server and uname -a should show that kernel version. After that, try a speed test again.
Slow down young padawan. 2.6.32 is old.
Change kernel.
When I change it, the benchmark is:
System Specs
RAM 2023 MB
HDD 20 GB
CPU Model ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
CPU Cores 4
UnixBench
UnixBench (w/ all processors) 715.2
UnixBench (w/ one processor) 262.4
Much better now! And better than KS
PS
I used latest stable 3.19.1-179
@jvnadr : How do you change kernel?
Neat, got my Invite. Lets play with it
I got one some time ago but the thing that bugs me that some software is still not ARM compatible!
I got two invites...
Did anyone figure out how to reinstall the os without removing the VPS itself?
Or should I just create another VPS, install OS, keep the volume and get rid of the VPS instance?
@tdttester Do what @Dylan says in his reply:
^^ This (if you created a second volume that can be unmounted).
If you use it for deploy apps for x86 architecture, you cannot use this box. But it is ideal for testing apps that will be used to arm architecture.
But it is not only for developers.
I installed a web server and tested there a medium traffic joomla site (~4500 unique visitors per day with flash and javascript parts). It worked like a charm, better that most of vps. Network is very good (at least to EU) and the server behave very well even in peak times (of course, it is very weak for big traffic sites with heavy mysql).
I also installed nginx rtmp for streaming and used the excellent network behavior of online.net to Greece (in testing traffic, I managed to have 3 simultaneously ~42Mbps uploads to 3 different greek isp's: Otenet, GRnet, Vodafone)
