is it kvm virtualization or just open vz?
thank you
Hi Vijay, thanks for taking the time to reply. These are OpenVZ.
never any KVM or Xen? :(
We are working on a KVM offering, check back with us :)
any KVM offers? Looking for a KVM VPS deal
We will have a KVM offering in the future :)
Do you offer a Debian 8 Minimal template?
We have Debian 8, but not minimal. You can easily remove the packages you don’t need and the services that are running to make it as close to minimal as possible.
Got an X-Large VPS from SSDNodes a little over a month ago from their last offer here on LEB and couldn’t be happier. The specs for the price, I just couldn’t pass the offer. My VPS was provisioned right away and got the VPS setup for my sites and I was up and running within a day.
Matt was super helpful and friendly, he emailed me a couple of times to see if I needed assistance with my new VPS (I was looking for a reason to open a ticket but everyting worked the way it’s suppose to.)
SSD speeds are super fast, I mean super fast!
Disk Speed
———-
I/O (1st run) : 959 MB/s
I/O (2nd run) : 930 MB/s
I/O (3rd run) : 1.0 GB/s
I might, just might take up the offer again!
Keep them hot deals coming Matt.
What version kernel/openVZ do you offer, are they docker compatible?
We’re using OpenVZ 6 at the moment, which is using kernel 2.6. Docker isn’t supported yet, but we’re working on an upgrade that would allow it.
This is the best place to be. Their VPS is super fast, good and fast support. I run my server instantly as i made payment. I wish to have another one, just that I am limited by my debit card purchase for this month. I hope this offer last till next month
Purchased the LowEndBox X-Large package. Seems to be pretty good. Long term use will depend on two things:
1. ETA of Docker support?
2. ETA of any other OS support? Debian, Ubuntu and Centos (and their versions) seem a little limited.
Thanks.
“drunkdev” Great name!
1- Hopefully soon. We’re working on a solution right now. I don’t want to give a date and have to push back on it, since the last thing we want is something unreliable. But it is a high priority for us.
2- Right now we’re using OpenVZ, which has incredible performance benefits. It uses the kernel of the host, and we only use supported templates. In the future we’ll be able to offer more templates if we use a full virtualization system (rather than the container virtualization we’re using now).
do you have bigger space addon options
that would be great
Hi Rohan, at the moment we don’t. But we do have larger plans you can upgrade to. Just log in, click your server, then click “Upgrade” to see all the options.
Ticket counseling takes two days
I also spent 3 days because of the billing error
No consultation
Hello! When there’s a fraud error, we’re usually not able to provide a reason for it. This is to protect our customers and ourselves from fraudulent purchases. Our system is more aggressive than other providers, but that’s simply because we’re trying to avoid fraud issues.
I’ve had the xl server and it has been great!
Support staff and knowledgeable and get to you in a timely manner for the free tier.
Would highly recommend
just waiting on docker support!
If I purchase a LowEndBox Medium for a year, is the 2tb bandwidth per month or per year as well?
Hey Tyler, the bandwidth resets monthly for all billing cycles on the monthly anniversary date. So if you purchase on the 15th, then it will reset each month of the 15th.
Is the annual pricing plan flat?
I’m not sure what you mean? The pricing stays the same for the life of the server, if that’s what you’re asking.
Are the monthly plans no longer available? I can only see the annual billing cycle in the above links.
do not get, bad support, poor performance.
Right now my server is offline.
They made an announcement about server maintenance 6 hours ago and I was only able to seethe email now. Haven’t got a chance to make a backup.
Even their own Client Area is down and this wasn’t mentioned.
Some issues a few days ago but no announcement were posted. Supports claims emergency maintenance.
Its frustrating when my business depends on it.
I have been using the SSDNODES for a while.
I would like to share my quick review.
Server: 10/10
The server is activated immediately after generating the command, and I be able to start working on it.
The server works as expected. It is fast and agile.
Support: 10/10
They made all my requests, and configurations necessary to have my servers 100% stable and with the speed and quality contracted in their services.
In my opinion is the best option to hire servers.
Somewhat devious in my opinion; Rather than these links directing to “out of stock” notice, they redirect to re-priced plans (see below):
– $9.99m/$77.99y = $20.00m/$84.00y (Monthly is >2x offer)
– $7.99m/$65.99y = $15.00m/$78.00y (Monthly is ~2x offer)
– $59.99/yr = accurate
Or am I missing something here?
Thanks! Am new to this community and have been perusing for a few VPS for my business use. Appreciate all the info and hard work that goes into the site!
where do I apply this in the UI?
European server isn’t an option yet. Am i right?
A few days after we deployed a 10X KVM server the server shutdown itself. We wrote to their customer support and server hours later we got this answer:
> This is not a network problem. Your server is offline because the VM disk seems to be corrupted. I am trying to fix that now.
> If you do not have any important data on the server, the best option is to recreate the VM.
Happily, we didn’t have production data on those servers, but there’s no way I’ll deploy anything serious in any of SSDNodes servers. Our servers were down twice in 10 days for HOURS. Now they refuse to refund but almost doubled our initial deposit in credit.
