Hello guys and thank you LEB admins for listing!
we’d like to release a couple of news that were not yet available when William sent the offer to LEB:
FRANCE (Paris) … not with OVH ;-) will go live around April 25 2012 … IPV6 will be available
RUSSIA (Moscow) … hast been postponed … machines were stuck with customs … we could not get them into the country
SPAIN, HUNGARY, POLAND and HONGKONG are in the pipeline, but no ETA yet.
Our USA (Chicago) network will be upgraded from 100 MBit/s to multiple Gbit/s per production system in the first days in May 2012
That’s already it for now … feel free to ask if you have questions or just want to chat ;-)
Cheers,
Gerhard
Will Chicago located VPS be upgraded to 1 gbit/s or just more bandwidth to the nodes?
Both.
Do you have any idea when this will happen exactly? Will it require some downtime?
One serious question, when Hong Kong becomes available, can I move my KVM from US to Hong Kong easily? I am already with you guys. :)
They allow to change location but don’t migrate accounts. This means that they would remove your old vps and re-create new vps on requested location (free of charge).
Yes, but HK will likely be more expensive (10-50%).
I am interested in HK vps too :) when available.
>> RUSSIA (Moscow) … hast been postponed … machines were stuck with customs … we could not get them into the country
Wow. Hope you get through. Looking forward to make use of your services in Russia!
It won’t be anytime soon if ever. Russian server ended in Poland.
It’s “ended up”, not just “ended”!
“Russian server ended in Poland” just sounds way too pessimistic and dark :P
maybe more disk will be better…
obviously more space would be better. Due to the fact that hdd production in Thailand is still not back to normal (after the flooding from Oct. 2011) we are not able to get SAS drives in the sizes we need. We are able to get smaller SAS drives that are somewhat affordable. We could go for cheap SATA drives, but we would not be able to deliver a high quality product then. Hopefully HDD production in Thailand gets back to normal soon … or alternatively SSD technology becomes more affordable.
As soon as 10K / 15K 1 TB SAS drives become available again (price < USD 500 per piece) we will start upgrading all KVM plans immediately. At the moment this is not possible.
Cheers,
Gerhard
I’d like to see either JP or HK location, personally I think JP will be better as international bandwidth in HK is way too expensive, most providers only give like 1 ~ 3mbps to customers. Have you contacted Equinix in Tokyo or he.net for a quote? I saw their advertisements before and the price wasn’t too high ($8/mbps).
HE only BW is useless.
Equinix charges 150$ / Mbit.
William
The micro kvm plan really needs an additional GB. That should be doable. One can’t do an Ubuntu release upgrade with just 1 gb.
Hongkong? Why not japan or singapore? just curious
The connectivity is better in HK, and it is WAY cheaper than Singapore.
I considered Singapore too, and some other countries like Malaysia, but the cost:traffic ratio (which is the most expensive in Asia) is again the best in HK.
So no, it will be HK to 99,99% ;)
-William
i too prefer in Malaysia but here everything are expensive
lol
vote for singapore, most south asia via singapore hub than japan/hongkong
@Singapore: colo prices are that high, that our products would be 10x more expensive … but not decision is made yet … we’ll see.
I personally think that Hong Kong would be a wise choice since that there is currently no other LEB providers with reasonable prices in HK. There’s already a few at SG and Japan is just too expensive. Not to mention that HK has the best connectivity into China
5 GB de DISK Oh My good!
What about Gentoo support? couldn’t find any mention of it on your website.
Gentoo ISOs are available (i think, didn’t look now – If not message support and i add them) and it should work fine :)
can i install windows?
Windows can neither be installed with 512 MB RAM nor with 5 GB HDD space.
We provide the Windows 2008 Server and Windows 2008 Server R2 images from KVM Advanced onwards.

I have a VPS in the Zurich location and I have to say it is really unstable, SSH disconnects all the time, Nagios gives me warnings daily etc is this typical of Edis or just me and my bad luck?
Hi,
This is certainly not normal, did you try to reinstall it?
We do not know of any issues with any systems in Switzerland.
It started the very first day when I got this VPS so I did not bother reinstalling it as I don’t see how that would fix this problem.
Hi,
would you be able to send us a traceroute from your home-location to the server in Switzerland?
cheers,
Gerhard
I have a KVM VPS in the Zurich location and it is stable as a rock. I’m even running two small production websites on it.
Hi,
If i have 1024MB VPS, will it get higher CPU priority than 512MB VPS?
Hi,
No, only the “plus” plans have higher priority than the others, all others are fair use shared.
Using EDIS for almost half a year now, their stuff rocks and is one of the best VPSes, no the best it is!
I am already with EDIS. I have to say the server is fast and awesome. I highly recommend them. The KVM’s I/O is faster than my own laptop.
Servers from different regions have different rules, potential buys should take a look at them. Some regions allowed IRC and allow you to host porn, apparently. Also legal torrents are apparently allowed. You are also allowed to run TOR relay nodes (not the exit ones)
Signed up at 15:41 for this deal yesterday, paid immediatly via PayPal and never received any confirmation email, no way to track my order and no response from Support (emailed them at 08:57 GMT today).
Not a great experience so far.
Hi,
I’ll have look, if you never recieved *ANY* messages (Signup eMail, Payment confirmation) you likely put a wrong email in the WHMCS – Since it sends out these mails automatically.
Disk I/O seems really good (always above 100 MB/s).
UnixBench is scores pretty good.
Network speed is pathetic though, fastest I have ever recieved was 1.3 MB/s. Cachefly –> Chicago Edis:
100%[======================================>] 104,857,600 769K/s in 2m 8s
Ooops, my bad.
I can’t find any info on the website, but I believe the KVM packages are on 10 mbit connections, which would explain why the speed is like that.
Ok, I am stupid and spoke too soon.
The upstream is good.
Chicago EDIS —> Hetzner:
100%[======================================>] 104,874,307 9.77M/s in 13s
Hi NateN34!
just wanted you to know that we will be upgrading our Chicago network to multi-gigabit in the next couple of days.
Then it will really ROCK ,-)
cheers,
Gerhard
This is one of the unfortunate downsides to EDIS’s Chicago service. Some companies still think the IPs are European and will redirect you to European servers via geoip location. For example, if you do a Cachefly download test in Chicago you get directed to a Cachefly server in Frankfurt Germany instead of the one located in Chicago. Also I have noticed that if I am browsing the internet through a VPN server on my Chicago based vps and go to Google I get directed to http://www.google.nl .
It isn’t as bad as it could be though. Fortunately sites like HULU.com think the IPs are American.
Waiting game for websites/networks to update their ip databases.
Hi,
.nl? Now that should not happen, the IPs were US before (DoD Space) and then Austria – SO it should be Google.com or .at…
Yes it is strange. I found out that if I use DNS servers other than google’s (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) I no longer get redirected to european google/youtube servers. So its mostly working great now.
Hi,
The problem is that Cachefly delivers from Frankfurt (you see their FRA-) reverse DNS when you do a traceroute) which apparently just has avery, very bad connection to the US.
what is the advantage for CPU priority..? Is it more faster than a low CPU priority? or the same speed?
Yes, faster
Wow. Do *NOT* use these guys if you wish to cancel your account. It has so far taken be almost 2 months and it is STILL ongoing.
Steer well clear.
Hi,
Just click “Request Cancellation” in the WHMCS to cancel it…
Hi KiwiP,
If you are Aaron, then I know why you have “issues” cancelling your service.
Maybe, but only maybe you forgot to pay your bills?
You can contact me directly at gerhard.kleewein@edis.at and we can sort the issue out.
Cheers,
Gerhard
No, I’m not Aaron. Not that it matters now.
Also, I couldn’t use the WHwhatever since it wasn’t available to me.
excuse me.. I went to “My Support” page to raise a ticket but the page only shows “Shopping Cart”?
Hi,
We do not use the WHMCS Support system – all support is done over mail by support@edis.at
a personal suggestion: you can put a page in “My Support” reading like “Please write to support@edis.at to get support.” or just delete the “My Support” button.
This would make people feel your service more professional.
Yes, done – redirects to contact form now.
We tried to remove the support button but whmcs is… whmcs, encrypted :/
I just ordered a KVM SMARTER in Germany. After I made Paypal transaction, I still see “unpaid” on my invoices, it says the invoice is due to pay! You have problems with real-time online payment?
And I don’t find a place to raise a support ticket.
Hi,
Weird, please send me the transaction ID from the account email to william@edis.at – Sometimes the Gateway in WHMCS isnt really stable
Fixed, PayPal IPN was down (AGAIN!) – marked as paid and replied your email.
Thank you!
I think now France is available. Test IP: 158.255.215.131
A reliable provider, unlike other ‘I downloaded all the documentation for server administration, still got 10,000 pages to read’ do-it-yourself VPS providers.
(have been using myself for about 6 months, or more).
So if you want professionals, go with these guys.
There are some people that keep bringing up the cancellation issue, that one was fixed I believe, so I would just ignore that for now.
Picked up one in the new France location using the promo code. Thanks.
William, the Chicago IP range seems to be registered in Austria which can cause problems with some U.S. based services like Hulu or Netflix if the VPS is being used as a personal VPN.. Do you have any plans to update your Ripe records?

I can confirm the IPs work fine for Hulu and Pandora.
Chicago works realy fine since been upgraded to gigabit.
But I´m still experiencing problems with IP localisation, too. For example the video center from hbo.com or nbc.com don´t accept my IP as US based.
I think I tried Netflix back in January and they denied access. Some geoip databases list the range being from Graz. Try http://www.iplocation.net/index.php for instance.
Yes, this happens – We cannot fix this however.
The most important databases (Maxmind, Akamai and Edgecast) list it as US based, so Hulu/Pandora/Apple services and basically anything running on Akamai (Microsoft for example) work fine.
William, could you put a Test IP in France for ping and upstream speed test?
158.255.215.1 is testip for france, http://fr.edis.at testfiles
VPS is destroyed right after payment due date passes (Must be automated).
Yes, it is semi automated.
Is anyone from US have EDIS europ vps and how was it? (none uk please)
I have one on their swed servers, all working perfectly.
A few unannounced reboots on my node lately tho, but performance on it is pretty damn great, but my austrian one has been up for ages :) Wish they’d increase hdd a bit, tho.
guys thank for the info.
I got this email from EDIS.

*** MAINTENANCE NOTICE ***
There will be a scheduled maintenance downtime
of ALL CHICAGO SERVICES
Thursday, May 10 2012
10:00 am – 11:30 am GMT (12:00 – 13:30 CEST)
____________________________
And I received this email at Thursday May 10, 10:49 BST, which is 11:49 GMT. Since I don’t use my server heavily, I didn’t notice anything. But seriously EDIS, you really should email every before, not after the down time!
But I am quite happy with upgrade and EDIS’s service in general, don’t get me wrong. :)
@ufufgnaf … Yepp, you are absolutely right. This time the announcement was quite close to the actual maintenance works.
We were dependent on remote hands and they gave us quite a short notice for the upgrade. Apologies for that!
Gerhard
Hi Gerhard,
My VPS was working quite happily, now my VPS doesn’t have the network. I tried booting up using the systemrescuecd, and configure the network there. But nothing works. I used to be able to do it in systemrescuecd. I can’t ping Google, I can’t ping the gateway. I am on the Chicago node, which recently got upgraded. Could you look into it please?
Cheers
ufufgnaf
Looks like the upgrade was completed successfully. VPS now getting gigabit speeds.
The network is able to breathe now ;-) The upgrade was absolutely necessary, but we had to wait for a certain user-count in our US location to be able afford multiple, flat gigabit upstreams.
Gerhard
I’m not sure if you read it on lowendtalk, but our new Polish location – fully gigabit enabled – at the Polix Internet Exchange PLIX in Warsaw went live some days ago!

a roadmap for an ipv6 /64 subnet?
how does a /112 IPv6 look like? Is it a short one or will it be long? could someone show me his ipv6 /112 ip? :-)
2^(128-112)
yeah, thank you. but are there zeros to make it more beautiful?
dennis, you’re being ridiculous.
Hi ExPl0Rer,
Does all location for KVM STARTER comes with 1Gbps connection? I am looking at U.S.A. (Chicago), UK (London) and Germany (Frankfurt). Is OpenVPN relay allow? Thank u.
Hi Wing Loon,
As I can see on the site: http://en.edis.at/virtual-root-server_82.htm
Only Iceland,USA and Austria has gb/s connection
Open VPN relays: not in Switzerland and in Great Britain
Hope this helps!
Seconded.
The coupon deducts 18 % but adds additional 20%
Subtotal: EUR 6.49
18% Recurring Discount: EUR 1.17
MwSt. (VAT) @ 20.00%: EUR 1.06
If you’re inside europe you will be required to pay VAT, if you’re outside of Europe you’re not required.
The VAT would be removed once you enter your country.
What about the US location? Vat FROM the US? or VAT FROM the EU?
any latest promotional code for KVM – KVM BASIC PLUS.
I recently acquired a Starter KVM from this offer in their UK location. Performance is good, certainly better than my recently ended Vooservers VPS (which of late suffered various problems; DDoS, sub 10MB/s disk I/O). Network latency was also great, often 14 – 16ms from the North West on a residential line.
However…. I’m currently experiencing network issues, and have done for some days. Erratic latency and packet loss. Support has already been notified, at first unaware of any issues. Just wondering if anybody else might be experiencing or has experienced the same?
Sure enough, I do see a problem. My VPS is in the UK:

What about latency, ping to the BBC for example? I’d get the occasional 50ms+ and the odd lost packet. I chose not to renew, so unsure if such problems still exist.
I tested your 3rd download from my new provider (not considered LEB) and had speeds of 30MB/s+. What about cachefly? 693 KB/s was the average while thinkbroadband fared better at 2.36MB/s.
Performance from the VPS was good, like I mentioned earlier. If such issues are affecting you, I hope you are able to resolve them. Thanks for the reply too.
