    I would LOVE to buy one of these servers, but their AUP greatly limits what most people would use this much RAM for.

      Well, we only limit Minecraft on these plans really. We allow it on bigger plans. Other than that, you can use it for everything legal and that does not hurt your neighbours!

        If you allow it on bigger plans, does that mean the 6GB one? I run a tiny Minecraft server for like 5 friends, and I was looking for a server with more RAM so we can play around with plugins and such.

        If that is allowed, I will buy one of these deals in an instant.

          It’s allowed on 18GB and bigger plans. However, if you create a ramdisk and put all your world and plugins there, we can allow you if it doesn’t use lots of CPU.

    Hi, I noticed that the TOS forbids use of the VPS for digital currency mining, which is a good thing. Does this extend to non-mining uses of currency? E.g stores, block explorers, wiki sites, etc. I’ve been looking for a place to for projects to benefit the community.

      Specifically do you auto-ban accounts based on process names (e.g. if you see “bitcoind” appear, irrespective of whether or not it actually consumes CPU power).

    Hi plans say OpenVZ/Custom… I need FreeBSD but it don’t work with OpenVZ, so does ‘custom’ here means that we can get KVM instead at same price and can install FreeBSD? I am intrested in 2GB RAM $48/year plan.

    • serverian's avatar

      Custom means we are using a WHMCS module that connects to SolusVM. So you can do everything you want to do on the billing panel itself. The virtualization is OpenVZ.

        That means, it’s an additional upgrade from your General Plan of 6GB Machine? I wish I could move to you but I already signed up with INIZ. Will the 60GB Space valid forever? Or only for this Christmas & General Plan will stay at 30GB?

    If i buy a 2gb plan now, can i later upgrade to the 6gb option (possibly in couple of months, with sort of matching deal/price to this 6gb offer?). My current needs do not require a 6gb plan, but i suspect within few months i might.

    I can ensure that @Serverian is one of the most responsive and helpful providers in this LEB and LET community. I have been using one of the 6GB offers in VPSDime for 3 months by now and it’s running just great. Had one of his 2Gb Cloudive KVM package in past and that was also cool. Really likes this man and his efforts.

    Definitely Recommended.

        The CPU frequency will get limited for a while if the usage goes above a threshold, then returns back to normal.

          How is the threshold? I got the same situation, I run some benchmark but also got very low CPU performance with limited frequency.
          The support staff told me the same word: it returns back to normal while daily usage.

          But how can I to know this limitation would not destroy the performance while daily usage?
          At least, I need to know how to measure this threshold and I can evaluate what kind of applications fit for this.

            It’s a auto throttling mechanism. If you use more than a core (2500MHz) for more than 30 mins, you get throttled to 1500MHz, then after an hour back to regular speed. When you have 2 cores, each core gets 750MHz as a result. It’s just a way to prevent abuse and high loads on the nodes. Nothing to worry about.

Worth noting that I had googled to try to find a fix to no effect but VPSDime was able to find the answer that I could not.

      I wouldn’t personally recommend this host. I bought a 18GB ram server and have had nothing but problems. The server is constantly restarting because of “high load” although the load average is only around 1. They also would limit the CPU to 42mhz making it completely unusable.

        If it’s not over the load of 2 for 2 hours or load of 4 for more than 1 hour, your VPS can’t get restarted. Those are the rules we apply. It’s very well written on the TOS as well.

      It’s not about RAM. It’s about the trouble you do while running your minecraft server. We only tolerate that for the bigger plans which have more flexibility. We not a minecraft host. Lots of professionals use our service without an issue.

        I host Minecraft PE servers which is the mobile version of Minecraft. This version doesn’t use up nearly as much resources while hosting and I’d really like to host with you guys. My current host is screwing me over and you guys seem like a really excellent host.

        Nobody has ever sent a denial of service attack to my servers before, and they’ve been online for almost two years. I wouldn’t be causing any extra strain on the network or causing any trouble.
