      Perhaps, assuming you’re able to deal with the installation and can show us proof of ownership of a valid license (if it’s not free.)

          Building out a network, and moving everything takes a while, sorry for that ;)

          It will certainly happen though, and it will happen soon.

    A very solid host who don’t get the recommendations they deserve often. Support is friendly and fast, and uptime/network have always been excellent for me. Highly recommended.

    Would you be able to buy two of the KVM 500GB and have it merged to one VPS?

    Thanks.

    • Wintereise:

      Yep.

      Order only one, and notify us via a ticket before making Payment.

      Someone will then edit the invoice, and change the package being subscribed to.

      Thanks.

    Can any OS be installed as long as I have the iso, or do you charge a fee to make the iso available?

    Worst provider ever. Doesn’t adhere to their terms and conditions and will screw you over like FortaTrust does if you ever try to leave.

    Good luck with them.

      You might actually want to read what you’re ‘agreeing’ to before doing so from whoever you pick next.

      We honor our policies, and do not act outside them.

    Interesting… Where’s that 525GB thread…

    • Yes, that was the initial plan but we finalized it to 500GB at this point.

        Haha… That is still a very nice offer. If my dedi was not with you I would have bought one, I’ll stick with something off-site for now. :)

  11. Hello what do you mean 1 CPU @ 50% ? i mean i want to buy but will work nonstop with no problem? and this 1 CPU @ 50% so i only need to use 50% from it? no more?

    March 11, 2014 @ 9:02 am | Reply
    • It means 50% of a whole CPU, so you get to use 1/2 of it’s full potential at most.

    Sorry if it is answered somewhere else. Am I correct that I can install and boot into dm-crypt & LUKS encrypted system? Is there a ways to connect to the console to enter a password when grub prompts for it?
