Do you have a test file?
Would you have any issues with me running a newznab indexer on it?
Ordered this VPS.
This will be my 2nd VPS with xenvz, but still flagged for manual review?
@kampung just manual setup I think.
What are the specs of the host node?
Are IP addresses DHCP based?
Offer posted in my Blog
No
I can vouch for @sean, he runs a good business.
Maybe someone could gibe me some tutorial for adding the 2 x /64 ipv6?
I can only use 1 x/64 ipv6. Should I add another device like eth2?
How much if I want to pay annually?
NO
Just add IPs from 2nd subnet same way as you add IPs from first subnet. (debian example)
You can route both of the /64 subnets via the same interface.
I have 2 x 256MB; one idling and I bought this one as well. Planning to move some of the load from another VM to this new one
Thank you very much @Spirit and @Inglar
Hello,
Annual would simply be at the same rate so £45 per year. If you want us to switch you to annual billing we can do so.
I did not success for pay, paypal back display:
""This invoice has already been paid. For more information, please contact the merchant.
Return to OpenITCAt this time, we are unable to process your request. Please return to OpenITC and try another option.""
but my VPS has been activated,
System problem? or?

Hello,
As I explained this is because PayPal have held your payment for review. There isn't anything we can do from this end but wait and there's no need to send payment again.

Is this just me or does everyone's serverbear stats show like this?
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/01/05/A7Y6SiCJU9fAUL9Q
UnixBench score: 259.4
I/O rate: 30.6 MB/second
Bandwidth rate: 4.1 MB/second
Update: Reran it again with approx 12 hours of difference and got this
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/01/05/rzehgsQt9qNTnyD7
UnixBench score: 268.4
I/O rate: 51.7 MB/second
Bandwidth rate: 2.9 MB/second
@Asim
Bad sign?
(Never use serverbear)
UnixBench score seems very low.
Hi Guys,
Sorry to say but after looking at the graphs for the host node it's simply down to quite a number of VPS using an average of >25% CPU over a period of 3 days. Combine that with the higher overheads you have with KVM and BAM! You have a problem.
On the other hand disk I/O seems to be well balanced.
To me, it seems unacceptable to have a unixbench score that low. We have a number of options on the table to help resolve this:
It would be interesting to know why so many VPS are trying to use so much CPU. Are you all benchmarking at once?!
@kampung was talking about unixbench
@amarc I am taking samples every 12 hours approx and my dd is running below 70MB/sec; unixbench always below 300
@sean I have no idea but there needs to be something done to give almost fair-share to everyone on the node. I am running benchmarks because I want to move my serious stuff here and hence I need to make sure that the "move" is worth it (I also created the ticket last night to report this)
Mine is pending manual review. Please sort out ASAP.

Nah, we won't ignore. If anyone is really dissatisfied with the performance then please get in touch via our website and we'll see what we can do.
I don't trust a host that asks for high resolution of your Photo ID. I mean they were readable size even my governments don't ask for high res
I'm afraid I've also experienced extremely poor I/O. Unfortunately, when cancelling my service, I couldn't state this as my reason (among others) because of a 100-character limit and a broken "weird-character" check on the cancellation reason form element.
I'm really sorry this didn't work out. First provider that gave out a /64 (2, actually).
