    For the $14/yr which comes out to about a shy more than a buck per month I decided to give the 1.5GB SSD package a try. Instant signup and the box seems to function an perform well.

    Bought 1.5GB SSD package today (my first VPS experience). Installed Nginx and started hosting a medium traffic website.
    I have to say I am impressed, everything is good, a great alternative to my previous shared hosting provider who couldn’t handle the traffic anymore.
    I hope that everything will be good in the future so I will buy even more packages from you :)
    Thanks!

    Hey, good offers! Couple of questions:

    1) Can I use it for torrent download (not tracker/seeding) from public torrent sites?

    2) The $14/yr is an excellent plan, but I’d like to know if you can customize a little bit the package: I’d need a >200GB SDD, only 1GB RAM (maybe less), and 2TB traffic.

    Thanks

    Are masternodes ok on your VPS? They sometimes have high cpu usage for about 20 mins a day but the rest of the time CPU usage is nominal at most. Typically about 45 mins of CPU time a day total. This is not the same as crypto mining. It is just to hold a wallet.

    Could you please provide any benchmark results in the 6GB RAM variant?

    September 30, 2018 @ 3:01 pm | Reply
  25. Just bought the 6 GB variant, checking out RAM and CPU speeds. Everything is good, it was instantly setup.

    But the thing which really bothers me was, the RAM and processor speed.

    Below is the test I ran using sysbench

    root@mail:~# sysbench –test=memory –memory-total-size=1G run
    sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark

    Running the test with following options:
    Number of threads: 1

    Doing memory operations speed test
    Memory block size: 1K

    Memory transfer size: 1024M

    Memory operations type: write
    Memory scope type: global
    Threads started!
    Done.

    Operations performed: 1048576 (982971.31 ops/sec)

    1024.00 MB transferred (959.93 MB/sec)

    Test execution summary:
    total time: 1.0667s
    total number of events: 1048576
    total time taken by event execution: 0.8714
    per-request statistics:
    min: 0.00ms
    avg: 0.00ms
    max: 8.03ms
    approx. 95 percentile: 0.00ms

    Threads fairness:
    events (avg/stddev): 1048576.0000/0.00
    execution time (avg/stddev): 0.8714/0.00

    RAM speed is highly disappointing.

    Even though it states 4 cores CPU is provided, the sysbench outputs are really not so good considering the same test being executed in a single core i7 VPS.

    root@mail:~# sysbench –test=cpu –num-threads=4 run
    sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark

    Running the test with following options:
    Number of threads: 4

    Doing CPU performance benchmark

    Threads started!
    Done.

    Maximum prime number checked in CPU test: 10000

    Test execution summary:
    total time: 5.9114s
    total number of events: 10000
    total time taken by event execution: 23.5898
    per-request statistics:
    min: 0.91ms
    avg: 2.36ms
    max: 31.33ms
    approx. 95 percentile: 6.27ms

    Threads fairness:
    events (avg/stddev): 2500.0000/983.32
    execution time (avg/stddev): 5.8975/0.01

    As this was all the benchmark tests, it might differ in real life situations.

    I’ll be updating soon, after a full test for a day or two.

    Btw, bang for the buck offer tho! Hopefully everything would go smooth in the long run.

  26. UPDATE 1

    Recently, the server has been lagging like hell. Now, just minutes ago my VPS went down. GG. It’s not even more than a day, now it’s down, already submitted a support ticket but none answered.

    P.s – I never had any of my VPS gone down with other providers. This is the first time am facing this issue.

      My VPS is down like 4-5 times a week.
      They said that I use to much CPU, average load of 0.3 with the 4CPU VPS.

      October 17, 2018 @ 5:30 am | Reply
      • The same is happening to me,

        I bought the 6GB package and it worked fine for a few days I host a website using centminmod, but suddenly it started to have issues, since tuesday, it started going down every few hours for minutes as shown in the next picture. I tried to ssh to the VPS but it was really slow, I could execute commands

        http://f.cgm.rs/2018-10-18_11-46-57.png

        I thought, hopefully its just a network issue and I sent a ticket to them, 2 minutes later my VPS got suspended without notice. I sent them a ticket, their only response was that I was using too much CPU, which I am sure its not right, considering that just before I checked htop and it was really low, they told me to change to a KVM package.

        I asked them after that, what about the files, they just told me they would elevate the ticket to a superior. I asked them what about all the downtime I will have until I get answered and there was no more response.

        And that is my nightmare, hopefully I will be able to fix the issue or at least recover the files I got there. I always backup, but I was not able to backup that VPS.

        I will keep you updated with what happened at the end

          Same here. It looked good at first, but issues started the same time as you said, maybe a day later.
          They suspended the service, saying the VPS was using too much CPU.

          I am not pleased that they like to suspend the service due to CPU usage. I thought I rented that CPU usage, so that should be my problem and not a reason for suspension.

          It looks like they oversold the server and when things got rough they started suspending.
