        Yes, I know them, this is not their company though. They help me out with support tickets and management of the servers as I am new to this. I have just asked them about Nixhost and apparently it was shutdown due to the amount of illegal content that was hosted with them and “Police Investigations” as they put it?

        I assure you that this will not happen to NodeDeploy, I am not prepared to take that sort of risk and I want my company to be a big success in offering low cost VPS’s.

          1.) Brothers?
          3.) Neighbours?
          3.) One and the same person?

    Hi
    I paid for a month of that plan, and in my first 6 hours with this server has been frozen for no reason a couple of times, it seems, is a general problem, I can not enter the domain and http:// . nodedeploy.com I can not access the web management console to generate a ticket.

    When attempting to ping to verify connectivity with the server responds very slow.

      Hi, I believe the issue is resolved now, if it is not can you please submit a ticket, if that fails email contact@nodedeploy.com

      It appears we are currently victim to a SYN Flood in excess of 70k PPS rendering the server unreachable at times, I believe this stopped about 4 hours ago but I may be wrong.

      If you submit a ticket I will be happy to add another day onto your service to compensate for this, if it continues we will be purchasing a hardware firewall.

      I’d be interested to hear if any users of the 1gbps metered port get higher transfer speeds than users of the 100mbps unmetered. I’d also like to know if either of these speeds is anywhere near 100 mbps for actual meaningful internet transit rather than cachefly.

        Typically the only problem OVZ users face is that the Java VM sees burst memory as regular available memory. As long as you limit the memory available to the Java application (through the command line) to your regular memory (1gb in this case, so limit it to ~850mb), there shouldn’t be any problem running Java apps.

        2) Squid3, ZipProxy, Varnish can not be installed on this LEB ?

        3) What are illegal torrents ? who decide it is illegal? are you “whatching/monitoring” data transfer/storage ?

          1) It can be used for Jenkins etc. I am unnsure how long building anrdoid roms takes nor how much cpu it uses. If it is only single threaded and is not maxing out that core for extended periods of time then I do not see any issue.

          2) A few of our users use Varnish, I believe squid is basically the same so I do not see any issues. By bandwidth intensive scripts we mean scripts that are utilzing full connection speed and effecting other users.

          3) Illegal torrents means torrenting Software / Movies you would normally have to pay for. Torrenting freeware software for example is perfectly legal.

      Note that you will get drastically different results from that RSA test depending on whether you are running a 32 or 64 bit OS. The 64 bit version of openssl will run the test around 2x faster, maybe even more than 2x. The LET thread is worthless for that reason. Nobody said what OS they were running.

    Ok, bought a VPS with them. Here are my results untill now.

    Payment can only be done by month with a recurring payment (I find it usefull, but be carefull when the server dies. Cancel your recurring payment!)
    Payment will be send to Bradley Hession trough Paypal (known person here)
    VPS will be delivered with Debian 6. Other distro’s possible
    Only got 512 vswap
    After installing a desktop (sorry, i am not that unix nerd :)) it uses 140mb of memory
    Installing from repositories is QUICK!

    It looks good, but for how long?

    Overall: 8+

    I’ve ordered yesterday. Paid by Payza [alertpay]. The VPS was generated automatically or manually by 1 minute. :-) After day of testing I’m really happy. Support changed to 100 mbit unmetered and set revdns. Higly recomenned. I hope this company will live long.

        Hi David,

        Can you send over a ticket with whats slow? We had a few guys that were trashing CPU running PHP loops over and over (possibly trying to wreck the servers?) We suspended them the other day.

        The RAM is dedicated, as is the disk so feel free to use it.

    I agree that you did not use the words “fault tolerant”, but you definitely have stated using raid 10.

    It can be that I am ignorant, but what I have learned about raid 10 is that it provides both fault tolerance and increased performance.

    Please correct me if there is some other way of configuring raid 10 that is not fault tolerant?

    Unfortunately I have been working only with server hardware, so it is difficult for me to comment the hard work with adding drives to an array.

      jEp, in my opinion your recent line of posts aren’t doing much good. I’m not connected with NodeDeploy and I don’t use their services (I have a bunch of other LEB’s with other providers) but it looks to me like what they’re doing is reasonable in this situation.

      If you can rebuild a failed RAID10 drive at 50MB/second you are doing pretty good. That is 3GB a minute or 1TB in about 4.5 hours, so that is probably the timeframe you’re looking at. SLA’s in this segment generally mean you get credit for downtime (I don’t know about this specific host). So if the service is down for a day, you get an extra day added to your account. I see in the case of one other provider, you get 2 days added. I don’t know how common that is. Since this is a ~25 cent per day service ($7/month), you’re looking at 50 cents worth of compensation even under that more generous scenario. You can probably understand, it’s not that impressive to see someone hiss and fume over an amount like that.

      These services are all unmanaged and you are supposed to know what you’re doing before choosing to use them for anything important. That includes setting up your own redundancy and failover to deal with outages. If you want enterprise-level hosting, it’s easy to find, it just consumes a lot more of a certain ingredient (spelled m-o-n-e-y) than this LEB stuff does. This site says “low end box” at the top of the page for a reason–set your expectations accordingly. NodeDeploy seems to be taking the necessary steps to get back online, and that’s about all you can realistically hope for.

        I apologize for my questions, I was only trying to figure out what is going on.

        Also I am very familiar with the word LEB – meaning that there is no expectations for enterprise-level hosting.

        The thing that I was missing was the official communication to customers, I think many (stupid) questions could be avoided with communication.

        So, once again, apologies for my questions.
