I agree, you need at least some server background. But for providers who have been limping along on SolusVM for 3+ years now they could have learned enough PHP to get a much better control panel online and saved themselves a few hundred dollars a year in licensing.
You can write a frontend for something like Proxmox in 1 - 3 months. Full fledged panel from scratch? No chance if it's supposed to be secure, stable, scalable and just generally working.
Well the dicks are taking a break for 14 days! Get out and smell the fresh air away from let!
@PieHasNotBeenEaten is the most brutal mod ever.
In fairness, even 'a few hundred dollars a year' is difficult to justify, with the amount of hours going into building a panel.
The better argument is probably not cost, but rather the freedom that it gives providers to offer unusual services that wouldn't be supported by an off-the-shelf panel.
I wrote Wyvern in less than 3 months with 0 coding knowledge. I took a shortcut by integrating it into WHMCS so that eliminated a lot of the more difficult work like authentication but when I got the security audit done I was pretty impressed with how few mistakes I made.
Now coding a WHMCS replacement from scratch did take me a little longer than it took me to code Wyvern, but that's been mostly a hobby project for AFreeCloud since I don't really want to migrate over from WHMCS since we have a lifetime license.
At the time SolusVM was getting hit with security exploits every few weeks so the fact that I was saving ~$80 a month was just a bonus.
So it's been a number of months now and nothing new from Solus.io since the initial announcement - it's starting to look like another SolusVM 2.0 situation 😒
It is! Forget it and move on
Colocrossing will have IPv6 before any new Solus version appears.
SolusIO pricing has been released:
https://www.solus.io/prices/
.
Well it will be at least 12-15x price increase for a 24-core node. For that price I would choose OpenStack + Fleio.
You should expect basically everyone to bring up their pricing now that Solus is raising theirs. There's no reason for virtualizor, Fleio, etc, to stay low when the pool of options are shallow and the likely overload of new customers moving from Solus being heavy.

Doubt Virtualizor can increase by much, their product is nothing compared to I imagine the quality of new Solus.
Ok so what do you go to then?
Francisco
Solus, that's my point. Virtualizor increases their prices in line with the big boys, I'm going to pick Solus over Virtualizor.
They wont match but if they are even 50% of whatever solus is, it's still large increase.
Francisco
So a 16 physical core single slave will cost 80 euro?
That's insane..
The days of $5 vps are over..
nah there's plenty of other options
I'm sure other companies will follow solus soon or later.
Edited: Just did some initial testing of new solus.. It's really works great even as a beta..
Even more noob friendly..
But still can't ignore the awful pricing..
Well, that's a hard no from us. Price difference is in the thousands/m; so roll our own becomes a viable option.
If they continue to provide services and updates for old solusvm at same price then no need to migrate to the new solus
Otherwise we may consider Openstack
It was actually predicted, like 1 year ago, that this will happen.
Now its to late.
Price increase is nuts.
it's not a price increase, its a new, different product.
Ya I'm feeling the pain in my nutts..
It's more like a ransom.. imagine a 32 physical core slave will cost you $160/month when right now it cost you approx $12.5
Did you see the prices on the market for a similar, working, software ?
according to their prices page:
https://www.solus.io/prices/
5€ per month per CPU core, so if nodes do have right and decent CPU with at least 12 core so it will cost 60€ per node and its not the end price as their price is still coming soon.
Again, two different products, $12.5 will get you SVM1, which is significantly different from the product they are now offering. But whine on, you see what you want to.
The suggestions are probably right in that they will increase the price of SVM1, but it will still exist so this new panel only matters to those who want to get into a different part of the market.
As of now after testing their new Solus I can say that it's worth it..
It's flexible and user friendly..
In my opinion maybe I can pay $0.50 per vps or $2.0 per physical core but 5 per core? No no no way..
That's too much..
Edited: maybe cloudstack or openstack will be the best option for us (Our opinion)
