    I thought this was old info?

    "You have already used your code. Only one server is given per Twitter account."

    @LAKid said: so how long could you keep it?

    I had it for a month.

    How much does it cost to renew it?

  • I just received mine, only took 40 minutes to be setup!

    Judging by their current Kimsufi prices i'd say around 30-40€/month.

  • @Alex_LiquidHost said: How much does it cost to renew it?

    49.99 € I think.

  • Should of installed linux....

    The following error occurred:

    • Win 2008 setup.exe failed (c:\Windows was not created)

    To repair this error it is necessary to conduct an intervention.
    It will be soon done by our technicians. You will be informed
    about the beginning and ending of it. Our technician will
    restart the operation.

    Holy crap, it's up already.

    Oh yeah. Sort of awesome to not have to care that it's using a quarter gig of RAM out of the box.

    Edit: Their routing is still screwed up. For some unknown reason, it's 13 hops for me from Ottawa and goes through Toronto and Chicago.

    Running server bear on it right now. I gotta give it to ya, @serverbear your site is well made.

  • vahevahe Member

    This is interesting. Ping to 8.8.8.8 is ~100ms, but to 8.8.4.4 is 2ms. Does this mean the closest google dns server would be in the same datacenter?
