Alex Here from ImpactVPS,
Thanks for the post Jonathan.
Here to answer any questions.
do the no torrents rule apply for btsync aswell?
and do you have any E3’s which offer better single thread performance
BTsync is allowed
We do not have any E3s
You’re like that guy who asks about if spamming is OK
Hi! I’m very interested in your service, but due to some application that runs only on Windows I need to use that!
So is it possible to use Windows Server or not??
Thanks Giacomo
Hello,
It is not possible to run windows on these servers
I always like this type of resource setup. Just signed up, not instant setup, but within five minutes I had the account. The resource list on the offer was kind of confusing, so here’s a “fixed” version:
4GB RAM
1.95GB Swap
4 CPU Cores
35GB SSD space
2000GB traffic
10Gbps uplink
5x IPv4
20x IPv6 (are more available upon request?)
Disk and network speed are excellent (800+ MB/s and 100+ MB/s, respectively). Everything else is pretty standard. I was wondering about the CPU weight option (see this screenshot). Is that a priority thing?
In regards to your question about cour weight it is priority. This is going to be adjusted in a future module update to be more uniform.
The accpectable use policy smells fishy. Everyone should read there ToS…
Examples of unacceptable content or links:
Minecraft and its variations.
Chobots, Starbound, Runescape
Teamspeak and Mumble
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
Port scanning
TOR
Torrents (private torrents are allowed (must limit speed)
Illegal downloads/Piracy
CamFrog
Virtual currency (*coin) mining
HentaiAtHome
IP spoofing
Fake/Replica product websites
World Community Grid
HYIP websites
Booter/Stresser websites
HitLeap or any artificial traffic creation
iBusinessPromoter or similar software
LIULIANGKUANG
Chinese private game servers or websites
Nested Virtualization
Any high CPU, IO and network usage
Spam / Mass Mail
Now I understand most of it, but voice servers? Minecraft? Let me guess all video games? Then to top it off any high CPU or network or IO usage?
If you don’t want people doing that sounds like some serious performance problems, packet loss, or something. Teamspeak uses like 2-1 percent cpu and 300mb ram with about 30 people. So nothing with large amounts of ram? Why?? You are stating 4gb dedicated. Im calling bs.
Unless policy is changed or I get a good reason I’m calling this company out, they are up to something fishy.
Those customers bring all kinds of issues like DDOS?
Hello,
All video games are not banned. The items listed that are banned are banned because of our experiences of the abuse they bring. Minecraft has attracted numerous network attacks and destroys disk I/O. Voice servers often get attacked and we have experienced that first hand. While other providers may not list such things we do specific spell out more to make things more clear for those signing up. We protect the performance and stability of our customers by denying the usage of those applications.
You can use your full RAM at any time.
If you have any other further questions or concerns feel free to email me personally: alex[at]subnetlabs.com

“This offer is a bit different because it uses Virtual Dedicated Resources (VDR).”
They might be virtual but they likely are not dedicated @ $7…
Might want to fix your marketing buzzwords.
Check out there ToS.. Their acceptable use policy is pretty much ANYTHING resource extensive. All voice servers, minecraft, games… Dont recommend.
No, their AUP/TOS called out every bad thing a customer usually brings on a node / network.
Try to expand your horizons past every provider is out to scam / rip you off.
The AUP gives them the ability to cancel your account, without refund, without question or reason.
Pretty high on my list of “not a fucking chance” IMHO.
I like the way they offer resources i can create N number of servers for different things like VPN,Webserver,nagios,owncloud,etc. it feel safe and flexible I have thought to give a server to my junior to play with it I would love to see more offers in VDR category Good Job @alex @jonathan
Hi, is this a new company?
I mean.. im going to put all of my cpanel clients here, but, im afraid that this one is not going for long (as some other providers were)..
Thank you :)
Hello,
It is a new brand but not a new company.

From the TOS:
“Terms of Services
Revision date: 03/03/2015
Network Atacks
Subnet Labs does not offer network procetion. In the event a customer receives 2 network attacks they may be asked to leave without refund..”
Uhh.. what? The double misspelling aside; I question even the legality of that. Clearly this AUP/TOS has not been in front of a lawyer.
You’re making people agree that if, you decide to ‘attack’ your own network that you are allowed to cancel their contracts without refunding them for services you refuse to provide? You provide no definition of what constitutes an “attack”, you fail to describe much of anything in fact..
Looked interesting; after reading the TOS/AUP not even slightly interested.
Thank you for pointing out the spelling mistakes, they have been corrected.
“You’re making people agree that if, you decide to ‘attack’ your own network that you are allowed to cancel their contracts without refunding them for services you refuse to provide?”
I’m not quite sure why anyone in their right mind would attack their own network? That would serve no purpose other than to cost us money. Network attack is not defined as there are countless types of network attacks and there are more and more being created every day. Being more vague in the definition of it allows us to cover all of them in one go.
I would also like to mention that “In the event a customer receives 2 network attacks they may be asked to leave without refund..” doesn’t mean the you will not be refunded, it simply means we have the right to not refund you.
If you have anymore concerns about our TOS feel free to email me directly at : alex[at]subnetlabs.com

What the hell?
Attacking your own network helps you stay secure.
Are you stupid or something?
This is definitely a ‘do not use’ VPS.
this is a cheap vps. if you think that you have a right to flood your so-called own “servers” which is actually part of disk slice, part of processors core, and part of ram also part of the network backbone, then you should get your own dedicated servers or co-location. of course you need to pay more, until hundred dollars per month.
if you just pay less than 10 dollars per month, then do not whining. stop complaining.
i am not representative of this vps, but your statements are too much
Curious as to why my servers are only averaging a 50kB/s-200kB/s transfer rate. Once in a blue moon the speed will shoot up to 1.0MB/s+, then it creeps right back down.
Hello,
Where are you transferring from? Please open a ticket about this and we will look into it right away.

i buy new vdr in subnetlabs but it’s pending can’t use！
I’m migrating my service off of these guys. They oversell their disk space and the end result is I get to watch my drive shrink and run out of space about 4 or 5 times a year. Just happaned last night again for about an hour. The time before that was a few weeks ago and I had no free space for 3 days.
