500G or 1TB storage HDD

OpenVZ (or KVM)

UK location is preferred

50USD/year or lower

Thanks, guys!

    Are you planning to torrent like there's no tomorrow?

    Correctly

    Time4VPS fits your storage needs but not sure if they allow seedboxes 247

    Hi,
    What would the memory requirements? 1GB-4GB?

    2G + is prefered but 1G is also OK.

    Ok, hope the package below would be of a help.

    1 vCPU

    512 MB RAM + 512MB Free bonus upgrade

    100GB storage

    1 IPv 4

    1gbit shared unmetered

    France Location

    $2.99 per month

    KVM Virtualization

    Order Link

    Activation is not instant, will take few minutes to be ready after the orders has been accepted due as extra ram increase

    I always find it odd how many hosts jump at the chance to host seed boxes :)

    Well, free porn when you go through their /vz mounts

    @racksx Seems to jump at the chance of any business at all.

    Such a coincidence. I have already been your customer about a year ago when you were called rackhost. And now I am still using your 200GB storage VPS for 5 USD a month.

    Plus one for them, I am also using their VM box for backups.

    Do you know where can an IP to ping the server ?

    Whatever happened to @AshleyUK? I was reading some disparaging stuff about them the other day, and wasn't sure if I felt good about not jumping on their storage special or not.

    Some performance issues.

    There is this update:

    We are currently undergoing some CEPH Expansion tasks to improve performance and capacity.

You will notice an impact in I/O performance during this time.

    Currently this is how its on my server:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/testfile bs=1G count=5 oflag=direct
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
5368709120 bytes (5.4 GB, 5.0 GiB) copied, 111.124 s, 48.3 MB/s

    Way down from the 150MB/s I got in the beginning. It seems to be oversold too much. Which is expected since the promo is still going on, afaik?

    Huh. Maybe I should keep the garbage dedi for backups, then.

    It's usable for backups, even if rheumatic. No downtime so far.

    Pff. 48.3MB/s? That's amazing. Check the read speed on the CEPH storage. You'll be baffled.

    Ah, also recorded a quick video: https://s.flamz.pw/video/diskspeed.mp4

    I get ~37MB/s write speeds to the CEPH storage, and 50.6MB/s write on the main drive.
