      You shouldn’t have to worry that much.

    SSD or SSD cache ecouse this diffrent many provider write SSD but the true only SSD cache

  5. This is true RAID 10 SSD, write speeds are nearly 2000mbps. Our network for our game servers and our VPS are in the same datacenter, but protected from each other. We have yet to have a DDOS on a game server ever effect our VPS in any way.

    48 hour refund, give us a try and see if it works for you.

    Quick question: When you say “This promotion will expire by the end of the month,” do you mean that it will expire at the end of the month, or before? Currently trying to decide a couple of options before the deadline runs out.

    Kinda new to the world of VPS. Would I be able to install Plex media server along with Sab+, Sickbeard, Couchpotato etc?

      It sounds like you want to build something for local media files, VPS of this nature of more for things like web based services.

      you probably need to search for a bare bones system and buy one of those, or go get an old computer from a garage sale.

    Hello, just wondering if I were to buy a VPS from here would I be allowed to host my own type of game servers? They’re not a target for any DDoS attacks either so they won’t affect your network.
