OpenVZ-3072-Yearly is out of stock
Hi,
I was waiting on IPs from the datacenter, I’ve added some stock now.
Out of stock again. :(
Holy CRAP that 3GB is cheap… What’s their reputation like?
The 3GB-$30/year deal is out of stock already.
Hi,
I was waiting on IPs from the datacenter, I’ve added some stock now.
What about reviews? Are those positive? 8 vCPU Cores on a Single VPS, how that can be done? Huge Oversell?? :/
Hi,
Cores are always shared and never dedicated unless stated otherwise on VPSes as far as I know.
As for reviews, we have a few from LowEndTalk,

and
http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/320345/#Comment_320345
Thanks! :)
So if I upload a windows ISO and have my own key I can run windows on one of these?
Hi,
These are OpenVZ plans, they don’t support ISO mounting/Windows VPSes, for Windows we have KVM based plans which can be found here, http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/18884/crowncloud-openvz-kvm-los-angeles-17-year-and-more-quadranet-dc-own-hardware
NP – the description above says “Windows users should bring their own license and post a link to the ISO in the order notes (or open a ticket later).”
ah, I’ll ask mpkossen to fix that up :)
Germany test IP / Download please? :)
Hi,
I’ve sent you the test IP via PM on LowEndTalk :)
Going to try today! Really low cost! =)
When will OpenVZ-3072-Yearly add stock?
Hi,
I’ll be adding stock later today once I get more IPs from the datacenter :)
Who are you with @ Phoenix?
Hi,
We’re with UbiquityServers at Phoenix.
Fake offer, already everything out of stock.
Maybe they have single server?
OR may be they dont wish To OVERSELL alot so that everything stops working.
Hi,
We have more than 1 server for sure, we have a “full rack” at Quadranet in LA and our own networking equipment as well. We just ran out of IPs since many people went in for the VPS-256 plan ($17/year plan), I’ve already requested the DC for IPs and will be surely adding stock in a few hours.
All clients from this sale are being provisioned on our latest node at the moment which has Dual L5520 CPU/72 GB RAM/4 x 1 TB HDD in HW RAID10.
You do know that those L5520 processors only support up to 1066Mhz memory and not the full 1333Mhz of your memory? Or are you overclocking your memory in your systems?
http://ark.intel.com/products/40201/
This is what I get from, the BIOS/DRAC/dmidecode –type 17 (from the OS)
Speed: 1333 MHz
The specific server model is the Dell C1100
Out of Stock
Hi,
Back in stock now :)
After seeing reviews, Decided to go with them & give a try on $30/Year offer. However, I was checking the order link periodically but Out of Stock ! Waiting for stocks to come up !
Hi,
Back in stock now :)
Again Out of Stock while I saw your comment !
Back in stock now :)
Again Out of Stock :-P I was busy the whole Day -_- Maybe, Luck won’t suit me this time :-/
Why I cant order?
OpenVZ-3072-Yearly out of stock. :(
This compared to the chicagoVPS SSD offer?
Hi,
These are based on SATA disks so you won’t get the same IO as a SSD for sure, you will get around 150 MB/s+ I/O on these plans :)
price of the 256 KVM has shot up, used to be $15. Strange, usually price falls with time with technology.
Hi,
Depends on the location, we can still do it for $15/year in Germany :) but Phoenix is @ $18/year due to higher HW costs.
out of stock already!!!
Hi,
Back in stock now :)
Offer not even on here for a day and everything is out of stock….
Hi,
Back in stock now :)
As of right now,
OpenVZ-3072-Yearly (13 Available)
I was able to get one, but still pending.
Yup, I’ve just provisioned your order :)
Just ordered one.. expectations are good… lets see..
Still out of stock, @SpeedBus will you add more IPs?
I still see 2 in stock.
Hi,
There are around 4 unpaid orders, if they remain unpaid for about an hour more, I’ll remove them and release those 4 as stock.
Hope more comes in stock, just got paid this morning and now they’re out of stock. Guess I should have ordered one at 5am when the baby woke me up heh.
I’m interested in the $30/yr offer – do you allow personal (1 user – me) newznab installations?
any german at these prices?
Send me a email at speedbus@crowncloud.net and I’ll give you the order link (Since we have very very limited stock in Germany I wouldn’t want to post it here)
Are game servers allowed?
As long as they don’t affect others on the same node, no problems.
They are out again….:(
Back in stock now :)
the website says that vps’ses come with Unmetered bandwidth with a * , it means that 3 tb is allowed?
Hi,
Those plans are different from these plans and are provisioned in a different datacenter itself :)
Hi I ordered a 4GB monthly server just wondering how long till it is provisioned?
Hi,
I’ve provisioned all the pending orders :)
Waiting for the $30/year deal to restock…
Hi,
It’s back in stock now :)
Please check out my ticket, it seems my VPS does not have the 3GB vSwap as indicated in the post.
Hi,
Yup, fixed :)
Hi, it seems it’s global problem. I have 0 swap too:

The download died after 4 MB :))
The speed was between 20 and 50 KB/s.
I was about to buy this… glad I didn’t do it.
Hi,
That’s odd, I’m easily able to max out my home connection here (although I’m not even in the US), could you give it a second try?

Yes, my VPS also has no 3GB vSwap as is declared.
OK. Now it is corrected. Thanks for the fast decision.
Still trying to get a $30 per year for the last 3 days .-.
It keeps going out of stock when I check
Luckily Got One ^_^
Not Quite Sure about the I/O. What Happened there ! Not Happy with I/O Yet !
Give the IO & network a bit to settle, many people bench-marking at the moment when I last saw a few minutes ago :)
Forget i/o… whats going on with single digit MB/sec DL speeds?
I/O’s better now :)
Network might take a bit more to settle out.
Was going to get one but after seeing bench test for connection speed, I have decided not to. Good deal though
Hi,
The network seems to be low because of multiple benchmarks running at the same time, I’ll run a benchmark now and update in a minute or 2.
Should get further better in the coming hours.
ordered the OpenVZ-3072-Yearly 5 hours ago, but it does not come with vswap by default. already created ticket to fix. Hope it get resolved soon.
Just adding in, this has been resolved :)
Managed to get myself a hold of one of the 3GB plans. Here’s the benchmark:
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @ 2.27GHz
Number of cores : 8
CPU frequency : 1600.000 MHz
Total amount of ram : 3072 MB
Total amount of swap : 0 MB
I also got the same CPU frequency as 1.6G. It should be 2.26G as posted by another customer here?
Hi,
The CPU is on a Power Save mode, when less processing power is needed, the CPU frequency drops, and when more processing power is needed, it raises to it’s max (2.27 Ghz in this case) :)
I/O should improve shortly, working on it.
Out of stock :(
I ordered the 4GB VPS package few hours, still no VPS and no response to my ticket.
Just adding in, This has been resolved off.
OpenVZ-3072-Yearly is not showing as $30, it’s showing as $48 now. Boo.
Hi Justin,
Drop me a email at support@crowncloud.net or speedbus@crowncloud.net and I’ll let you know once we have the newer server online and have more stock on offer.
OpenVZ-3072-Yearly out of stock again
I was thinking that Maybe Many Benchmarks are running, so results are low (I/O & Network etc.) But, still now it’s low.
If it continues like this, I May have to Request for a Refund. Because, I need a stable box. Thinking to go with ChicagoVPS because they have improved now :-) Now, tell me SpeedBus what you can do for me/us (Who are having slow issues)
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in reply, I was away from my home last night and didn’t have a chance to look into this, from what info I got now, there were multiple abusers last night/early morning today (AWST Timezone), I’m looking further into this since I’m back home now and it will be sorted out and to be honest, if you had put in a support ticket as well, the issue would have already been resolved since someone else would have looked into it.
Network seems to be fine for 100 Mbit/sec connection, since you’re able to nearly max it out,
CacheFly seems a bit low for some odd reason, I’ll look into that.
No offense but I think with this price, oversell like crazy is a must
BTW, look closely with bench results, there is no vswap as advertised
Hi,
1. There’s no “Crazy Oversell”, these servers have 72 GB RAM by default and can be upgraded off to 144 GB RAM as well, we’ve planned this out well enough to do this plan/offer :)
2. vSWAP can always be added, some VMs might have missed out getting them added, open a support ticket and it’ll be added right away.
Do you have 100 mbps Connected to the Node or 1 gbps??
Uplink is 1 Gbit to our rack and each node is connected via 100 Mbit to the switch.
Also, I’ve resolved off the issue and working on it further, sadly some abusers just like to mess things up a lot, had multiple people (at least 4!) who had the DD script in their cron to run every minute :/
I am slowly going thru and getting rid of other abusers as well and it’ll be back to ~140 MB/s soon.
You’re offering this Promo in other Locations also?? Then, can you migrate me to another Locatio like Germany?? The below comment has made me happy. ^_^
I have some spots left in Germany, put in a ticket and I’ll move it, IP will change though :)
can i upgrade into 1 gigabit from 100mbit? how much it will cost?
Hi,
Currently, we don’t offer Gbit, but around March or so, we plan to upgrade off everyone to Gbit. More info will be made available when we have a date / time-line in mind :)
Will the OpenVZ-256-Yearly plan be restocked?
I was checking the last 2 days but no luck for me :(
Will be back in stock later this week when we get another server online.

Is being worked on and will be resolved, we’re in the process of ordering another box with a better raid card as well which we’ll move clients onto as well, more info will be emailed in a day or 2.
I/O issues have been resolved off earlier today.
Will the OpenVZ-3072-Yearly be back in stock eventually?
Hi,
Yep, mostly later this week, email me at support@crowncloud.net and I’ll let you know when we have it back in stock.
ahh all clear the year price offers all out of stock… but monthly offers in stock… GREEAAT :-(
Yearly plans will be back in stock later this week when we get another server online.
Will you have any of these again? I’ve been trying since posted, but out of stock:
$30/year 3GB OpenVZ VPS and more in Los Angeles
Thanks.
Will be back in stock later this week when we get another server online.
Hi. Great news! I will take one :)
Is it allowed to host a p2pool for cryptocurrency mining? There is no mining on server, it’s just a pool.
Can it be bought with preinstalled Ubuntu?
TOS says You can.
http://wiki.crowncloud.net/doku.php/vps_tos
16. Bitcoin/Litecoin/Namecoin/*coin mining is not allowed on our VPS’s BUT you are allowed to run bitcoind, litecoind, *coind on your VPS’s for your websites or your online applications or personal use and/or commercial use.
Excellent. That is very nice of CrownCloud!
Hi,
Just adding in a update, we’ve removed off all the abusers that we could find, and the I/O is much much better now. I’d advice client’s to not start running DD tests right away since if many do the DD test at once, it’ll give you poor results while it isn’t poor.
Network has improved as well, will improve further as we go about fixing what we can find,
hmm what do you mean buy abusers people using to much cpu?
or is this how your run things suspend resell on asap just thought id ask as sick of cheap providers thinking they can just close your account delete from there whmcs suspend nodes for useless so called abuse just wish for you to clarify this before pruchasing
(since my last comment is stuck in moderation)
Hi,
> hmm what do you mean buy abusers people using to much cpu?
Yes, people who use a LOT LOT of CPU and cause problems to other clients.
We do NOT suspend/terminate just like that, we first notify the client before taking any action. Unless the client is running a script which is causing a massive issue, then we go ahead and suspend the VPS and notify the client regarding this.

After a Long Discussion, I’ve been moved in Germany & now the performance is somehow acceptable. Network is stable & I/O is far better. However, now we’ve to check the uptime. Thanks Arjit. Just a curiosity, What type of HDD you use on your US Servers that performs very slow?? No Raid & Sata??
Hi,
> Just a curiosity, What type of HDD you use on your US Servers that performs very slow?? No Raid & Sata??
This node has Enterprise Seagate 1 TB HDDs (7200 RPM SATA) with a Areca RAID controller in RAID10, We’ve already order up another server with a better RAID controller which will be online later this week and will move client’s over to that so the performance improves. More info will be sent in later this week.
Please note, this I/O issue is only affecting 1 server in our LA location and NOT all servers in the US.
I’ve sent you emails (1/31 and 2/3) but you have not reply to them. Did it go to spam?
Hey Chris,
Sorry about that, found the email and replied now :)
CrownCloud continues to prominently advertise the $30/year offer on their front page, but it’s always “Out of Stock”.
Hi,
We’ll be adding in some stock later this week when we have the new server online :) send me an email at speedbus@crowncloud.net and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s back in stock :)
will you be offering any OpenVZ-4096 yearly plans?
It’s possible but it’ll cost something around $77/year or so.
Your OpenVZ-3072-Yearly is sold out, will you be getting more in stock soon?
Hi,
We’ll be adding in some stock later this week when we have the new server online, send me an email at speedbus@crowncloud.net or support@crowncloud.net and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s back in stock :)
drooollll :D
Crowncloud website is not accessible since morning. Any issues? or anything alarming?
Are their VPSes working fine?
VPSes are all fine, site is hosted on a different network which had an issue. Site is back online since about 4 hours or so.
Thats not true, LA Server was 2 hours down this morning because of outgoing DDOS which crashed the node.
The performance is not the best over all, had already 2 outtages. Hope this will improve with the new RAID controller.
Hi,
The site had gone down much after the node had gone down (around 3 hours after), the node was rebooted and came back up in around 2 minutes but VPSes might have longer taken time to start up. But yes, once we move over clients to the new node we won’t have these issues.
Thanks!
It’s Ddos Protected ? and can i request ipv6 more than 128 ?
IPs are nulled if they get DDoS’d. Yep, we can assign around ~150-200 v6 with no problems, put in a ticket for this after order and we’ll do it.
SpeedBus, are you guys still adding more 3072-Yearly deals? If so, I’ll email to be notified of their availability! Definitely one of the greatest deals around!
Hi,
Yep, later this week most likely, drop me an email (support@crowncloud.net or speedbus@crowncloud.net) and I’ll get back as soon as they’re back in stock, we might also add some stock in Germany later today/tomorrow most likely, Will email those who emailed me regarding Germany later today/tomorrow before we release any stock.

The description says 3GB vSwap but actually no vSwap in OpenVZ-3072-Yearly. Any Comments?
Put in a ticket and we’ll add the vSwap :) Some VPS might have missed it by chance :)
any estimation on the 3GB offer?
Also curious about this.
Back in stock now :)
out of stock :(
back in stock now :)
Yearly packages continume to be OoS… Guess the promo shows how well (or not well) they’re able to meet demand…
It’s back in stock at the moment :)

Hi,
I’ve replied to all the emails I could find earlier today, It’s back in stock at the moment
LA OpenVZ 4 GB RAM and 2 GB RAM plans are back in stock, I’ve emailed all those who had emailed me regarding these plans, the 3 GB RAM/year plan will be back in stock later this week.
Were the 3gb plans ever added? I signed up to be emailed, but haven’t gotten anything yet other than the confirmation of being notified when it’d be back in stock.
Hi,
Yup, It’s back in stock now,
https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=113
Any more specials coming?
Hi,
Back in stock now :) and we have a 4 GB plan for $49/year, https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=115
Just ordered 2 of the 3GB yearly VPS’s, any clue how long they take to be provisioned?
Hi,
I’ve provisioned all which were pending few hours ago :)
Thanks!
I’m not seeing 30$/yr plan. Are you out of stock again?
Yep, it’s out of stock at the moment, drop in an email to support@crowncloud.net and we’ll email you back as soon as it’s back in stock.
This server is very unstable and the performance is changing from day to day. Once in a week its down, and has outgoing or incoming ddos attacks.
NOT RECOMMENDING!

Hi,
We’ve had issues originating from VPSes that have got compromised running outdated panel builds of Kloxo, zPanel etc and issues with abusers, just like any other host does, but we take care of these as soon as we detect them off, there’s nothing much we can do when there’s an incoming attack, apart from wait for the DC to null out the IP being attacked, but for an outgoing attack we detect off most scripts and kill them, regarding the uptime output/stability, we’ve done a kernel upgrade to the latest OpenVZ kernel which has a good load of fixes (you can check this on OpenVZs website) and the node has been pretty stable after that, if your VPS still feels slow, put in a ticket and we’ll have a look into it.
Truly sorry for the troubles you’ve faced, please put in a ticket or add a reply to an existing ticket and we’ll look further into it.
Thanks.
O…. It seems like most of them out of stock. When will u restock the 4GB plan of $49/year, I really interested in it.
Hi,
We’ll be restocking this plan later today.
Drop me an email if you want to be notified when it’s back in stock at speedbus@crowncloud.net

Thanks Chandra :) Glad to have you as a client, feel free to contact us if you need any specific setup/config etc :)

Just signed up, looks like a very good deal especially with Quadranet’s Asian connection (I’m in Hong Kong, no real LEB providers here). I’m going to be using it as a Zimbra server for mail. Will post a report after a week or so with how it goes.
How did it go?
I’m waiting for a new stock of OpenVZ-3072 Yearly too… :)
It looks like everything is out of stock, boo
Hey,
Order links for most of the plans have changed, you can view the plans at : https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php
The VPS-3072-Yearly plan can be found now at this link : https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=5
Thanks!
@SpeedBus – are you out of stock for the KVM-512 Storage in Los Angeles (DC1), or you just don’t have time to deploy the VPS servers there?
Signed up & paid today. How long until the account goes from Pending to Active?
We manually provision orders, should take max 1 hour or so during working hours :)
Hello there. I still having a hard time believing this exists. It seems very good to be true. Just to understand better you just give a server that we have to do all the setting up on? For instance if I wanted to get the 4gb ram plan with a few cpu cores…is it actually what you claim? The reason I ask is because I want to move my minecraft server to this hosting plan instead of the one I am using. So if we are allowed to use your server for games I am thinking there should be no problem. My server often goes over the ram it needs so I am not sure if it will affect people on other nodes. I am sure there is a way to detect if java is trying to allocate more ram and prevent it from reaching the limit. I run a custom minecraft modpack with 142 mods that is quite unstable…so java sometimes crashes and is unstable. I am fine with setting up the linux server myself…but will I have to do my own port forwarding or is everything already open? Just curious if running a minecraft server that has a public ip address is possible here.
Still waiting for a reply to my question.
Hey,
Sorry for the delay in reply,
> Just to understand better you just give a server that we have to do all the setting up on?
Yes, You’ll get full root access via SSH and you can setup the VPS as needed.
> For instance if I wanted to get the 4gb ram plan with a few cpu cores…is it actually what you claim?
Sure, if you need a custom plan we can do that.
> I am fine with setting up the linux server myself…but will I have to do my own port forwarding or is everything already open?
All ports are open and can be used as needed, you can open/close ports as needed.
Drop us an email at support@crowncloud.net if you need a custom plan :)
It is too good to be true. I have had the 3GB plan for 6 months and have been subjected to sluggishness throughout. I am unable to do any sort of development as there seems to always be ddos attacks (per the response from crown cloud) on the nodes even though they have moved me twice.
I have vps accounts with other hosts for $3 – $7 per month and they dont have the amount of sluggishness in a year that crown cloud has in a a day.

Hi Howard,
Yes, we did have an issue at the beginning, but after moving users to better hardware we haven’t faced many apart from when a user’s box gets compromised on the node causing an array of issues depending on how bad that VM was compromised. While we do advise users to use better secure alternatives to what’s available a few users tend to use what they’re most comfortable with like Kloxo which isn’t the most secure panel out there, and when they do get compromised they tend to cause a lot of issues.
We do work to make things better like the Gigabit upgrade we’ll be doing in Los Angeles later this week (http://status.crowncloud.net/discussion/71/lax-gbit-upgrade#latest) after which we plan to roll out a few more features for client’s as well.
I’m sorry if you had a bad time with us, please put in a ticket and we’ll help you out to our best possible.
VPS-3072-Yearly next availability?
It’s in stock at the moment :) https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=5
I’m waiting for VPS-3072-Yearly too. When will be available? Thanks.

Is there any anti-ddos protection?
Not really, We null the IP being attacked until the DDoS settles if there’s a DDoS :)
Beware of these crooks..Never delivered what I paid for..Such a shame..
Hi,
We did deliver what you asked for, there were delays in between when the datacenter ran out/was short of IPs and we had to get you IPs from elsewhere and get it announced at the datacenter which takes 1 – 3 days minimum since all the upstreams need to announce the block/accept it. We did credit you back the time you lost during the wait on each of your servers irrespective of weather they were affected by this wait or not (at this time, you had 2 servers running perfectly fine) after this a server which you rented out had one of the HDDs fail which we got replaced and again credited back the time, we’ve done it all possible from our end to keep things as smooth as possible including setting up a DHCP server on each machine so that your VMs can get IPs assigned to them easily. Really sorry this did not work out, perhaps another host from LEB can accommodate you without any issues or bumps along the way.

Hi,
I did reply to your ticket earlier today as well, the issue behind the low DD was the CPU frequency which seems to have been set low on your VPS, which I corrected as well. This issue has been corrected/resolved completely. I don’t know what was the need to post here when the issue has been resolved off, either ways, I’ve re-ran the tests just now,
ok guys i bought cheapest VPS (OpenVZ-256-Yearly) for 1yr to learn Linux based distro and learn how things works but having lot of issues for which relates to memory …………… in short is there any option to upgrade existing package?
Yep! Upgrades are always possible. Send in a ticket at the client area and we’ll work out an upgrade to your needs.
I started well with them, they were helpful and polite (without being creepy). One of my packages on a node in LA06 froze. By froze I mean apt-get update could not complete in 12 hours. The response was astonishing. It was very passive aggressive with no name ever given and 2 days waiting time (as was not usual in the past), and the guy did nothing about the technical issue. He could have tried to see the issue himself. But he just wanted to make smart remarks which were not smart anywhere else but in his mind.
I am disappointed. I thought they were okay, but I wonder whether after a certain time unless you use no RAM, they will make it impossible for you so you leave and then they can replace you with the next sap.
Have a nice day.
Hey Egg,
I apologize for the inconvenience caused, could you please bump up the ticket and ask it to be referenced/passed to “SpeedBus” and I’ll have this looked into right away and have it all fixed up.
There were some issues with IPv6 earlier this week while were waiting on our new Juniper to come in which could have affected apt-get if it was trying to go through only IPv6/defaulting to IPv6, but to be completely sure, please do bump the ticket and ask it to be passed/assigned to “SpeedBus” and I’ll have this looked into and make sure something like this never happens again.
I tried to contact crowncloud.net (speedbus and support), but haven’t received a reponse from either mail adresses, although I contacted them more than a week ago.
Also, I cannot ping the test IP listed at the top nor can I downlaod the 100mb test file.
Is crowncloud out of business?
Was really looking forward to their VPS-3072-Yearly deal, preferably in Germany, if any was in stock (which was why I contacted them about, in the first place)…
Their website is up and everything seems in order, apart from the IP listed in this thread and the email support…

Been trying to contact CrownCloud via email (speedbus and support) more than a week ago and haven’t heard anything back. Also, I cannot ping the test IP listed ast the top of this thread or download the listed test file. Which made me wonder…is CrownCloud out of business, having mail server problems or suddenly slow to repond on support? It seems form this thread that they normally would respond much sooner. If they are in trouble, it is too bad – I was looking forward to a VPS-3072-Yearly deal, preferably in Germany if in stock.
Anyone been in contact with CrownCloud this week – or knows if everything is as usual, besides seemingly slow-responding support via email?
Apologies for the lack of response, could you please forward me a copy of the mail and I’ll have a look at speedbus[@]crowncloud.net (remove the []’s) and get back to you right away.
Thanks!
Found a way to get in touch with CrownCloud/SpeedBus at the IRC (http://crowncloud.net/contact.php). Very nice and helpful. Prompt and professional answers on IRC. Ordered the 3072 VPS and got setup instantly in LA after the payment went through. Experiencing slow I/O ~40MB/s so far, but have contacted support just now to inquire about it, as it seems the expected I/O should be around 125-235MB/s, judging from this thread.
Anyway, everything looks great otherwise and I’m a happy new customer at CrownCloud. Now I’m waiting for stock in Germany to become available in the next few weeks, so my VPS can be reprovisioned there, as SpeedBus gave me a test IP that shows ping of ~20ms in Germany, compared to 183ms to LA from my location in Europe. So far – great service. Thanks, SpeedBus.
Wow, you were still able to get this deal? I would love to get in if they are still honoring it!!
Hi Simone,
We had this deal once again as a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, around ~5 in stock last I checked, https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/97734/crowncloud-los-angeles-ca-openvz-3-gb-ram-50-gb-hdd-3-tb-bandwidth-1-snapshot-30-year
