Just to confirm: do you allow publicly available custom ISOs? (I believe so.)

UltraVPS

angstrom said: Just to confirm: do you allow publicly available custom ISOs? (I believe so.)

Yes, we do

Just open a ticket, if the ISO you need is missing.

silverdawn

• 10 IPv6 addresses (from your own /64 IPv6 subnet)

what does that mean? free own subnet included and can assign and route more ipv6s?

UltraVPS

silverdawn said: 10 IPv6 addresses (from your own /64 IPv6 subnet)

what does that mean? free own subnet included and can assign and route more ipv6s?

We assign a dedicated /64 IPv6 subnet per VM, but only 10 fixed addresses are usable for technical reasons.

ADM55

Payment methods?

UltraVPS

ADM55 said: Payment methods?

We accept Paypal only.

rxuser1

Legal Torrents allowed? and what is the AUP?

vimalware

Could you roll out quarterly terms for the plans priced over 40EUR? (with adjustment for PayPal fees)

It's hard to recommend a product line (say SAS) without trying it out personally.

UltraVPS

rxuser1 said: Legal Torrents allowed? and what is the AUP?

Yes, we allow torrents if sharing the content is legal. In general, we allow all use cases that do not violate German law and the law of the location your VM is hosted at.

v3ng

Any plans for smaller KVMs?
E.g. 256MB or 512MB RAM

vimalware

Ordered a small 250GB storage.

ZFS array write cache is doing its job well. Very snappy apt-get upgrade .

It usually annoys me when it takes forever to slap on build-essential onto a new VPS.

Edit: real-world bench: Timed make on iperf3.6

Any public benchmaks for the SAS-Special-2? Do your have a SSD version of the SAS Special 2? Can you disclose the used CPUs? What is your money back guarantee for these specials? Thanks

webcraft

SSD-Special-1 compares to Cloud-BF etc. of last year?

UltraVPS

webcraft said: SSD-Special-1 compares to Cloud-BF etc. of last year?

Yes, it's the same plan with a different name.

nfn said: Any public benchmaks for the SAS-Special-2?

nfn said: Do your have a SSD version of the SAS Special 2?

We only offer the special deals listed above.

nfn said: Can you disclose the used CPUs?

We use E5-2680v2 and E5-2690v2 CPUs in most location.

nfn said: What is your money back guarantee for these specials?

We offer a full refund within the first 14 days if you are not satisfied.

vasechka

how much extra bandwidth? is it hard limit? zfs storage — solaris, illumos, freebsd or linux based? what zraid used?
is smtp allowed? ports 25 and 587? (not spamming — extra mx for my own mail server)

Can you confirm both locations? Last time it was NL only. Thanks.

I can recommend this host, had Storage-Special-1 for one year. Probably not gonna renew, because I need different location, but I had no issues with them so far.

it's a german company. make an educated guess ;-)

PS: definitely worth it, the new SAS offers are quite an addition to the mix. 4GB RAM KVM at $40 a year is a steal ... noneednoneednoneed ...

Yes I know.... but I also know many EU companies that are not meeting with GDPR law. I have ask because after reading their terms on their website I do not find any mention to GDPR. Having a public GDPR policy available is one (of the many many) GDPR rules.

Thanks! They should update their EN page. I will probably buy 1 or 2 VPS from them. Was looking for a good BF deal on their London DC.. but probably will go with ther NL location.

yeah I most likely can't resist the cheap 4GB SAS for long. so far I am happy with both locations (AMS & DUS) for the storage servers.

if I remember correctly UK is with clouvider so should be good as well, though you need to stick to the ssd offers then.

Yes, I iwill probably go with a SSD in UK and a Storage in NL. The SAS offer is very good but I don't know how will it be in terms of disk speed. Do you have any bench?

Also can anyone confirm if the BF deals are recurring? Or the price is just for first year?

Falzo

nqservices said: Do you have any bench?

not yet.

I didn't even (fully decide to) order yet... but am convinced that it will be satisfying in terms of IO and throughput. from what I've seen during the last years being a customer, I had never issues with that. but I don't do anything else then plain boring webhosting ;-)

This was answered 'yes of course' above.

All above BF plans are also KVM?

They only do KVM now

vasechka said: how much extra bandwidth?

DE and NL: 1,50 EUR per TB
All other locations: 10 EUR per TB

vasechka said: solaris, illumos, freebsd or linux based?

We use SmartOS (based on illumos).

vasechka said: what zraid used?

Striped mirrors and striped RAID-Z2 for storage VMs.

willie said: Can you confirm both locations? Last time it was NL only. Thanks.

Yes, storage VMs are available in Amsterdam and Duesseldorf.

nqservices said: @UltraVPS Does your company meet GDPR law?

Yes, but the documents are currently available in German only.

Seems pretty nice. What is your policy on CPU use? Is it possible to use 100% of one core for several minutes (data processing)? Thanks!

is SAS better than ssd?

Is nested virtualization possible on these? Would a private network be possible between multiple vps's?

yes, there are no BS rules like don't do bla percentage of xy in waddawadda minutes.

systems are properly balanced and you can actually use them ;-)

@seenu said:

The SAS has a decent amount of always available IOPS : around 800-1000. Should be good for the Gitlab instance you're looking for.

My gitlab installation (on a dedi) idles at 3.3GB ram usage with 2 unicorn workers. Go for 4GB for 10 users. (even though the docs say 8GB now. RIDICULOUS)

storm

Support is telling me that you don't offer any Windows ISO to install on my new VPS. My Google search shows UltraVPS has done so in the past. Does this mean I'm going to have to provide my own ISO now?

i have 200+ users but most of them are inactive, daily 4-5 ppl logs into it thats it.
so do you suggest going with SAS-Special-2 ?

or do you think of any suggestions?

Probably stick with netcup 8GB+ SSD then. You can't do anything about network latency. Any VPS in EU will be 99% same assuming the ping is similar.

Edit: sorry ultravps, didn't mean to pollute your offer thread. I thought it was another thread discussing the same.

Yes, you can use 100% of your CPU cores at any time.

MagicalTrain said: Is nested virtualization possible on these?

I am sorry, that's not possible at the moment.

MagicalTrain said: Would a private network be possible between multiple vps's?

Yes, please contact our support.

storm said: Support is telling me that you don't offer any Windows ISO to install on my new VPS.

That's correct due to copyright reasons.

storm said My Google search shows UltraVPS has done so in the past.

No, we never did that.

seenu said: is SAS better than ssd?

Since we reserve larger amounts of memory for ARC and also use NVMe SSDs as slogs, the performance of our SAS nodes is excellent, but of course the IO performance of our SSD nodes is better.
