Cloudflow (or cloudone) OR IWstack

Hi guys,

I want to run critical project on theese VPS's so the uptime is very important and the performance too. But dont know which is better for uptime and performance. Any suggestion?

Or any other cloud services for critical things?

  • I see you're selling SSD VPS, why don't you use yours? Or you need specific locations?

    The SSD VPS's is in progress and will be located in Hungary. I need another location , with cloud technology or something like this.

    It's ironic...

    I assume his VPSs are not recommended for production environments?

    Again..

    For mission critical infrastructure look at giants like RackSpace, LiquidWeb.

  • I wouldn't put too much into "cloud" after recent outages. Shit happens everywhere, and when cloud stuff breaks.. it breaks bad. Of those two, IWStack Xen - or just straight up XenPower brand.

    I'd also look at InceptionHosting for Xen in EU. Ramnode KVM in NL.

  • Why not create failover?

  • I have 100% uptime at vultr.com, 15 locations across continent, recommended.

    Go with iwstack, i'd probably avoid RackSpace "cloud":

    I use them both for critical jobs. Two radio streamers in Domflow and a a streamer and a website in Iwstack. No downtimes from both of them, and good performance. I would say they have similar quality, that is very good.

    If your projects are critical, I would had a mirror vps for each project, 24/7 monitoring with sms alerts and handle dns from a third server of mine or a third party as cloudflare. So, if for any reason a server goes down, I would just switch the traffic to the mirrored server.

    Well, even from this thread it seem that most here thinks domflow is good. You did a complain about a reboot and slow (?) I/O but as we see in your own benchmark, the I/O performance is fine for a normal purpose of a vps of that kind. So, how can you compare them with host1plus in "exotic location"?

  • NyrNyr Community Contributor, Veteran

    CloudFlow offers better redundancy than iwStack, at least in theory. And for the price, it's a steal.

  • What cloud specifications are you looking for?

    I assume full HA, what else? SSD storage or HDD storage?

    My host1plus vps has more uptime/ I/O speed than domflow.

    No downtimes ? Check it here: http://www.domflow.it/forum/15/board/outages

    Does it make sense now ?

  • +1 for iwstack

    Please consider that now we had more than 100 nodes, so if a node goes down only e little number of customer are impacted. We also open new thread every node issue and in most case customer not experience any downtime, we just notify that one of redundant image are offline :-)

    Probably you prefer company that hide the problem ;-)

    For example we had an ENTIRE DCs offline and nobody experienced outages http://www.domflow.it/forum/96/power-failure-on-1-phase-in-dc2.html (as you can see nobody wrote anything)

    For the i/o speed, we said lot time that any vm are limited to 110MB/s speed. For example, try to build 3 VMs on same node and launch i/o speed at same time. Every VMs show 110MB/s speed and not 36MB/s each. This because we limit i/o to keep maximum performance in every condition. With this action we eliminated any bottleneck frequent in virtualization.

    As you can see we stopped following LEB users needs because our platform is now most used by high end business that use it in real enviroment and not just to launch unixbench. :-)

    @matteob I really appreciate when providers are transparent like that about outages. Pretty useful and inspires confidence, at least for me. Keep the good work.

    This. No provider, including the big guys has 100% uptime forever, something will break. Depending on how critical is the critical, 12-24 hours downtime a year may be acceptable, but if it is worth paying twice and going through the trouble of setting up redundancy which itself can break even if the underlying structure has 100% uptime, then
    do it, the infrastructure price is low these days, just be careful with the actual setup and dont launch before you test by powering off in turn the locations.

    Well i dont need manage services. I could manage everything.

    Yes i heard about this big downtime. They dont have a backup datacenter or something like this? Seems not.

    Well not tested the disk speed but seems i am on different node. Server is fast.

    Well not bad not bad.. but if you got a ddos then kick is instant as like at digitalocean. And in this industry the ddos like casino games. Dont know when or how big will be.

    Yes checked. Backup datacenter and etc. not bad..

    @matteob Got 5 euro free credit from domflow. Seems quite good the things but we shall see after a month :) I will write a review soon.
