waited for long time, now it's available.
Created an instance immediately when I got the notification email.
it's a really a better choose for Chinese/Asian clients.
faster and more stable line than LA for China, bcz too many chinese website in LA, and the line got crowd when evening comes.

  • Just curious. How's it compared to Linode fremont? i.e. How's the ping on peak hours?

  • Looks like London also available.

    A little annoying that actual templates aren't available, when you deploy the instance it still needs to install, and the installation was quite slow or maybe I'm just spoilt.

    Downloading a file off one of my London servers (which is able to push pretty much 1Gbit @ Level3 Goswell Road which is Braham Road's 'twin' DC and which is where Vultr is located), and then the other way around.

    Same with another London server (LDeX).

    With both, for some reason the preferred route always goes over Cogent then to Level(3) when I know the faster route would most likely be Level(3) directly, not sure what's up with that. Seems to be E3's, although wasn't really bothered to check the flags in detail.

    http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/04/26/fpLlrLPN8pNc6HTR I just ran for anyone interested.

    I prefer the way they install the server :) you actually got the latest version. but if 10 minutes not too long for you

  • HDD 29 GB

    Why is the HDD doubled in the Unixbench test?
    Planning to move to vultr in a few days, so time to consider where to put my VPS...

    I think serverbear does that when it's in an LVM, it counts the storage twice. I don't think that is from unixbench.

  • Another london instance benchmarks. Looks very solid: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/04/26/H71JjcAEmiyNKiKn
