Good work Low End Box!
Can I stream on facebook?
RackNerd’s VPS would be great for bypassing the GFW to visit twitter, Facebook, Youtube and such. The servers are located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles with excellent connectivity to and from that region.

I just tried HostMem and after registering account, HostMem showed that $9.99 deal is all sold out. Probably need to update the page so that people does not have to create account just to see that the deal is sold out.
Had the pleasure of trying out the RackNerd $24/y offering. 500mbps uplink, outperforms standard GCE instances @ $24/m on everything except disks, probably runs on some slow HDDs. Great offering still and can easily work around the HDD bottleneck if you need better IO. Support was also top notch, answering low prio questions in under 10 mins.
Hello Solinfra_io — thank you so much for hosting with RackNerd! It’s great to hear that you’re happy with our offer and have had a pleasant experience with our support team and overall performance.
We do use enterprise hardware and have deployed our nodes utilizing Exos Enterprise Hard Drives; we would love to dig into the node you’re on. Just send me an email dustin@racknerd.com.
We’re sincerely appreciative of your business. Thank you!
Hi Dustin
I’m aware this might sound a little silly but is this promo “LEB New Website Special – 1.5GB KVM” for a VPS service or just a “Web Hosting” service?
thanks!
Hi suszyQ – thanks for considering RackNerd as your provider. No question is silly, we’re all learning.

Can you explain the difference between PURE SSD RAID-10 and SSD CACHED RAID-10?
PURE SSD RAID-10
LEB Special 1GB KVM VPS
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=358
SSD CACHED RAID-10
LEB Special 1.5GB
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=135
SSD CACHED RAID-10
LEB Special 2.5GB
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=137
SSD cache means the primary RAID storage is using spinning HDD and using an SSD for cache.
Pure SSD is where all drives are SSD based and there are no spinning drives.
Hello Ernie. Faster SSD Cache or Pure SSD?
Thank you for your answer
Generally pure SSD would be faster. Theres no spinning drives involved.
Is all LEB special, and exclusive is promo for 1 year? Or for every year? And how about ipv6?
Hi Andrian Rahardja — renewal rates from RackNerd would be the same exact as you paid at sign up :)
Native IPv6 is available in Los Angeles, and for any other location (for our VPS product line) we recommend using tunneled IPv6 such as tunnelbroker.net.
We look forward to working with you.
Dear Dustin, thanks for the replay, i already bought the vps 2.5gb, and racknerd support is awesome, for the ipv6, i dont really care to much, since i already knew that my country still dont support ipv6 yet, by the way im still newbie in vps thing, do you have free ebook or blog or any other tutorial other thank racknerd youtube channel?

Thank You!
Hai Dustin, could you please replay my ticket? It’s weird it has been 3 hours but no replay. Im so satisfied with Racknerd, so anything happen? Why is suddenly there is no replay?
Hi Andrian Rahardja — happy to hear that you’re happy with the level of service we provide. I did a search for your ticket, and realize the timezone difference is what caused the delay in response from our sales team. Our sales team works from 9 AM to 6 PM PST. And oftentimes, they’re checking sales tickets remotely as our goal is to provide speedy assistance.
If you need anything else, be sure to let me know — I’ll be here to help dustin@racknerd.com
Apologize, i didin’t realize at the first time, my all problem has been solved through racknerd support team, long live Racknerd, by the way is there a way that i can reach you via email or etc

My direct e-mail is dustin@racknerd.com if ever needed. I’ll be here to help any way I can :)
The 2.5GB RackNerd deal is insanely good! I feel almost bad, like I’m ripping them off.
Thank you so much for this low-cost, high-quality service. It’s really helpful for open source developers like myself who want quality hosting for side projects, but aren’t making any money from them to offset the cost.
Hi Jared, happy to have you with us :)
It is our goal to expand, alongside you. We sincerely value your business and are happy to hear that our service level, pricing, and stability have been more than satisfactory.
If you ever need anything, we’ll be here to help.
Maybe you are interested in a bigger VPS specification. Information for you.

I had a couple of VPSs from different providers. RackNerd VPSs performed better than all and I ended up replacing all of them with RackNerd. Thanks Dustin and team.
Thanks for sharing your experience Shadrack! Glad it was positive.
I’m curious about this could someone give me an example usage case for a vps with 20GB/40GB storage? What are they used for?
Some uses would be: application hosting, vpn serving, dev box, small file storage, etc
