Congratulations on the new POP.
XEN HVM?
OVZ SSD
My stupidity is sometime beyond limits... fixed, it is openvz in spirit of Viking Layer. Also KVM will be ready shortly.
I'm giving it a test and I also told a couple of friends about it
Best of luck.
Nice offer and nice to see the service continue.
Preparing Sweden next month. We are doing our best. I hope that it will end positive.
That American style Viking..
Hollywood influence
Exactly
Wow, @drserver AND OpenVZ?
Will Sweden also be OpenVZ?
VikingLayer going Colo Crossing.. just funny..
all nodes are dual stack openvz and kvm. we are just not ready to release KVM. Also current OVH nodes needs to be converted to dual stack.
As for now Buffalo: ovz, kvm
Sweeden: ovz, kvm
canada via ovh : ovz
france via ovh : ovz
When we migrate all to dual stack then we will announce KVM also
@drserver Since you're with CC in Buffalo, are you using their IPs? If yes, are you within 23.94.0.0/15 (SBL221319) that SpamHaus has listed?
Pity you couldn't find a DC in Minnesota
Correct 23.95.xx.xx is the block being used.
Lot of surprises coming up
We have mix of good and bad ips. Currently 23.95.xxx.xxx and 192.227.xxx.xxx ranges
Now i have to find one
FYI: by the way, just making sure you know this — but you probably already know: all e-mails from "[email protected]" end up as spam in Gmail.
Thanks for reporting , could you open a ticket on VL or drServer.net would like to know more about this.
Not for my Gmail, all email from [email protected] with mandrillapp are in Inbox.
Yes, usually that is the case for me as well, except for the fact that this time they were not using Mandrill: the IP originated from ColoCrossing.
Location should be in Sweden, IN THE SPIRIT of Viking layer. Just my take on it
Node will be shipped this days to Portlane.
Nacka?
Yes. @William is more informed as we hired him to help us with that as he knows marked a bit better so maybe he can give some insight.
Thank you @William
Yes, Nacka.
I have good experience with Portlanes Nacka facility from my old workplace - Pionen (Bahnhof/Carrier Neutral) LOOKS nice on the outside but they have (or at least had) MASSIVE AC/cooling problems there (up to the point of servers automatically shutting down because of 50C+ ambient temp and 90C+ CPU), it's not worth the price difference (which is around 100%). Ping difference is negligible (less than 2ms, if not less than 1ms) and BW is the same anyway. Portlane now also moved some core to Nacka and runs more fiber so DDoS is not an issue anymore.
The Nacka facility is not Uptime Institute (the "famous" Tier 1-4 rating) certified IIRC (but neither is Pionen) but built out to Tier 2+ standards with redundant everything, it is also like Pionen located inside a mountain (bunker).
Some more infos from Portlane directly:

@drserver Billing panel is down.
@tr1cky we have migration in progress. it will be done shortly....
Everything is fixed and back online
