    12TB is a nice option for backup server or monitoring server. :)

          Keep in mind that these plans only have one or two CPU cores with a fair share usage policy.

    Does bandwidth within the LunaNode servers/network count towards the bandwidth limitations? For instance, could I get a 450GB storage server and a 12TB bandwidth server, and as long as the storage server was just talking to the 12TB bandwidth server, it wouldn’t use bandwidth?

      Just got a reply from their support: “If you are using the private IP address supplied then it won’t count. The private interface has 1gbps connectivity. Note that there are still limitations (you are not allowed to continuously overload the private interface).”

        I ended up getting a storage server and then adding on the specs of the bandwidth server, so I got a dual-core 1ghz machine with 465gigs of storage and 14tb of bandwidth for $163 a year.

      Uggh, I had to request a cancellation.

      CPU model : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.14.1
      Number of cores : 2
      CPU frequency : 2266.746 MHz
      Total amount of ram : 996 MB
      Total amount of swap : 4095 MB
      System uptime : 4:58,
      Download speed : (3.67MB/s)
      I/O speed : 75.7MB/s

      I actually calculated that to download transfer 14 terabytes of data at 3.67mb/s would take just a few days short of a whole year.

        DeftNerd. Request a cancellation? Why?

        Then you posted some specs, and the fact that 100mbit can do about 24TB a month, so 12tb would be about 5MB/s at all time.

        Your test is in MB/s, not mb/s. The I/O speed and transfer speed are a bit lower than expected, but we were provisioning several machines yesterday which is completed now.

    Is it OK to use this VPS as a VPN?

      If the VPN does not allow public connections from anyone on the Internet, then it is okay. Public proxies and VPN’s are not allowed.

    I never would have thought of checking LEB for Black Friday deal. Now I’m really regretting missing out on the $7 450GB storage VPS. I hope it comes back because I’ll jump on it immediately.

    So the certificate is valid for 1 year…do I get a free certificate year for year or only the first?

    December 7, 2013 @ 7:38 pm | Reply
    • perennate's avatar
      perennate:

      The specific requirement is, at the time that you request another certificate, you must have more active services than active certificates. A certificate is considered active until it expires.

      So, you can open a ticket for another certificate one or two weeks before the last one expires, assuming that at that time (i.e., in a year) you have an active service with us.

        Thanks. So how can you provide such a certificate for free when the least expensive one that AlphaSSL has to offer costs $49/year? Do you get them almost for free with a special deal with them? I’m just curious how you guys can offer a $4/month plan that includes such a certificate.
