A small thank you to SecureDragon.net and @KuJoe, sharing experience

I have been a long time lurker I come from more "well" known companies, I ran vps there and did not need all the flash. I am looking to get something setup personally to be able to stream US content mostly. I was a bit skeptical about the ordering of a VPS for one year on $25 (XEN), well WTF worst case I have lost my money. It is not the case, I setup openvpn on the server and have been using it for the last 2 weeks and it is AWESOME fast! (hope it keeps up when more people populate the node... looking @KuJoe ;))

This weekend I had hard drive failure at home and setup myself for Tarsnap backups, and started doing backups of personal stuff ( total 5gb ) it was running for 2 days and still going. I checked my Linux graphs and my ISP was throttling my connection to 10KB/sec, I stopped that as soon as I saw and then connected to my openvpn and bam maxing my ISP connection. I am amazed, did not expect.

I will check back in 6months from now, but keep up the good work.

    No one can beat Dragon Spirit.. :P

    thanks for your review..

    I've had good experiences with @KuJoe's services. They're great.

  • lumaluma Member

    Yep SecureDragon rocks.

    You can tell he takes pride in his work and that he is not just after a few dollars. He actually cares that his machines run well and that his customers are happy and actually understands that happy customers = more money down the road anyways.

  • RaidLogicRaidLogic Member

    Great review, what spec's do they offer for 25$ a year?

  • darkconzdarkconz Member

    I just got their $25/yr offer. It got me 128MB Xen PV.

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    Thanks for all of the feedback. We've been putting a lot of time and resources into SD and I'm glad it's being noticed. :)

  • NickMNickM Member

    I sometimes forget that I have a SecureDragon VPS because I never get alerts about it being down or having any other kind of problem.

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    @NickM If you want I can setup a cronjob to remind you... :P

    I have the opposite problem, it alerts me about my other VPSs being down.

    Are there any IO/network/GeekBench benchmarks for SecureDragon? Need to find a replacement for my AlienVPS since I can't live with 50% uptime

  • ChristianChristian Member

    SecureDragon is great, can just recommend! :)

    And for CPU, I have this one

    Geekbench 2.1 because the new fails XD http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/564628

    Is perfectly fine, I am hosting some websites. Was thinking in a gameserver but is a little bit laggy at times (long history, related to cronjobs mostly).

    But for most normal uses is perfect and stable

    It is the major ISP in my country. They have a monopoly so there is no other choice unless I go DSL :(
