Ramnode new prices

It seems that ramnode have some new prices for their line up. Basically 42% off the old plans and more storage. Thoughts?
UPDATE: There will no longer be any backups for any plans. Ramnode has asked existing user not to open any ticket at this time for price reduction or space increase. (Link) And there will be no more coupons it seems.

Yay 80 GB of storage instead of 50 GB. I can dig it
I am so digging this. I wonder if we can upgrade existing...
I could get used to this.
Please read https://clientarea.ramnode.com/announcements.php?id=366 before sending in any tickets about the updates. It's still a work in progress. We'll make more info available soon.
noo, my favorite thing gone.
Coupons makes me feel like it's cheaper than it actually is :l
Is the 128MB $15year ssd openvz plan good enough to run OpenVPN or PPTP for one user?
I want to make it so I can only login to all my VPS's via SSH from that one IP for additional security.
Yes, as long as you don't have 50 people connecting to it at the same time, 128MB will hold several OpenVPN instances along with PPTP daemon well.
Bad idea, what if that VPS goes down? You're screwed.
I've had a KVM VPS with Ramnode for over 1.5 years now, Still up and running for 230+ days no downtime.
Even if Ramnode went down, they'd be back pretty fast.
Most of the VPS's I own run automated bots for various websites and scripts, so I rarely have to login to them anyways.
Sorry, I forgot having 230+ 'no downtime' means it will never be down. As you were.
I never said they will never go down.
I'm saying even if RamNode did have unexpected downtime, they'd be all over it quickly.
I'd feel more confident hosting something like this with Ramnode than any other provider here.
Out of all the providers here RN has the least downtime/issues.
I have VPS's with 20+ providers here.
80GB for $15/y? Neat!
Indeed, you need to have a backup plan for anything if it is critical (problems there cost way more than the cost of a backup plan).
So why not have multiple VPNs, and give yourself some redundancy?
If it was almost anyone else doing it, we'd all be thinking 'scam', right?
I was going to set a backup one on one of my spare Crissic $15/yr plans
In case both providers go down at the same-time, which would be very unlikely, I could always use the serial console for the VPS I need to access.
Indeed!
I wont's send a ticket asking about the disk increase for current plan, but i'd like ask here: will it be and when?
Read: https://clientarea.ramnode.com/announcements.php?id=366
I've read for many times, but i didn't see such as "Yes, we'll definitely upgrade the disk space to the same as new plan".
If they don't you can always order a new plan, move your data to it, and cancel the old one.
groans too much work.
512 svz price raised. So shame.Could I pay with current recurring price because it's 4.5 mo?
For me, stopping the weekly backups is a major step backwards.
It is only about a year ago that Ramnode was hacked and my VPS deleted. The downtime was reduced because Ramnode were able to restore against their own backup.
After the hacking incident, I purchased a dedicated server and moved my online store. I had to do quite a bit of work on the backend to beat the'out of the box' performance that Ramnode had offered, and still have some websites hosted on my ramnode VPS.
Obviously I understand I am responsible for my data, and cannot rely on Ramnode's backups, however it was an additional layer of security.
That they dont make backups anymore sux. Always doing my own backups, but it was awesome that they do one as well.
"KVM SSD" up to 40% more expensive specs-for-specs than Linode; such premium, wow. Head still firmly in the ass about being competitive or anything like that. Also the 512MB one is more expensive and has worse specs than DO/Vultr.
90 GB KVM SSD-Cached: $14
180 GB KVM SSD-Cached: $112
don't understand...
Good to see they have more space on the SSD only plans, other providers don't seem to provide as much. (hint hint @jmginer !)
With these new pricing there will be no coupon code offering now anytime soon?
There will be coupons, but in a stunning twist if you use them they will return the plan to old specs/price.
I understand there may also be a few single use coupons that if redeemed, will win you Nick, who will perform a specific task at your home, such as washing your dishes, pruning a hedge, or holding your neighbours hostage until they agree to finally fix the fence so that fucking dog will stop running onto your garden and shitting everywhere.
