[ZipVPS] Free Beta VPS - Test KVM Flashcache Backed VPS For 3 Days

ZipVPS/Holoshed Technologies Flashcache Backed KVM VPS Servers Beta

I am running a public beta for a few VPS servers to test how it all runs under a bit more stress.

The node has been running quite well for a couple months with my own VMs running on it and it has handled very well so this is the next step before launch.

The beta offering is for 3 days from account activation and costs nothing for that time. All orders must pass fraud check with legit account information to be activated.

During the beta period there will be unannounced reboots to test for disk stability, otherwise everything will remain up and active during this time.

The usual Linux distributions are available for your VPS to use during testing and you are free to do as many reloads via SolusVM as you wish.

VPS Servers activated within 4-6 hours of order, maybe quicker.

Beta VPS Specs

  • 50GB Flashcache backed Raid10 HDD Space
  • 1024MB Guaranteed RAM
  • 1TB Gigabit Transfer
  • Free for 3 days
  • Location: Buffalo, NY

    OK.I will order.

  • HoloshedHoloshed Member

    I am still up for a few mins so I will be able to activate right away, any others between now and when I wake up will wait a little bit.

    What's the price after 3 days?

  • pcanpcan Member

    @Holoshed, your VPS is pretty good!

    CPU frequency is 3,5 GHz.

    I repeated 5 times the usual disk test ( dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync ) and the result is between 327 MB/s and 440 MB/s

    Cachefly test ( wget -O /dev/null http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test ) gives 30.8M/s . Server is in the Colocrossing datacenter, latency to my Europe location is good.

    @pcan thank you very much! I have been pretty impressed with how the hardware has held up in my two months of testing before I deemed it stable enough for main line testing.

    @FtpIt_Radi I am looking somewhere along these lines right now:

    Launch estimated price guide, {r}etail first then 40% beta {d}iscount

    • Byte: 256MB Ram - {r} $5.00 {d} $3.00
    • Meg: 512MB Ram - {r} $10.00 {d} $6.00
    • Gig: 1024MB Ram - {r} $15.00 {d} $9.00

    Signed up, will test at home. :)

  • HoloshedHoloshed Member

    @FtpIt_Radi thanks, got you activated, and I think that may be the last of the beta vps quota for now. Will check back on everything tomorrow!

  • upfreakupfreak Member

    @Holoshed, Thanks. Got my vps activated and so far impressive with good routing and I am surprised with the bandwidth & traceroutes to asia. great work ;)
