Hi QuantumCore, you can consider posting the specifications here so other can take a look here without going to your website.
Besides that, the Windows VPS is out of the price range. Please refer to rules of selling here: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/153228/rules-for-selling-on-lowendtalk-updated-04th-sep-2018/p1 and make sure all offers posted here are within $7/m recurring (not just first month)
Regards.
Fixed
Sorry.
Looks pretty interesting! Do you have a Looking Glass available?
Any plans for servers in Melbourne?
Nice, good to see some strong CPU's and NVMe's.
Hi Daniel, we don't have a looking glass setup. Just that test IP. Unfortunately we're only in Sydney currently...I'd hope to see us all around Australia soon!
Yep, it's some solid hardware!
Hi,ovz or kvm?
It should be KVM
.
Love seeing new Aussie hosts!
Now just to wait a couple of months then test performance
Nice bandwidth allowance. Shame it's not a recurring discount but still good pricing for Aus.
I forgot to ask... Is that one dedicated CPU core, or is it 'fair share' CPU? Do any of your plans include dedicated CPU?
Yes Chocolate is right, KVM.
Hi Daniel, that's a virtual CPU. Unfortunately we don't offer dedicated CPUs at this stage.
Cheers
I just signed up to try it out. Server feels very fast so far, but I wonder how long that'll last as they add more customers. CPU performance is faster than other providers I've tried at a similar price point. Disk IO is good, but just seems similar to regular (non-NVMe) SSDs. I thought the difference between regular SSD and NVMe would be greater.
Their WHMCS control panel is extremely minimal, it doesn't even have an option to mount an ISO. I had to contact support to get them to mount an ISO for me. So far, support seems very responsive (even outside of Australian business hours) which is great.
host-passthrough wasn't enabled by default (so the CPU was masked in /proc/cpuinfo), but they were happy to enable it.
Benchmarks:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/12932098 - I also have Vultr, AWS Lightsail, Binary Lane and FlowVPS benchmarks on my Geekbench account for comparisons with other server providers in Australia.

Thanks Daniel, appreciate the review.
We have a very specific number of customers we cap per node to ensure there is no performance degradation. I'm confident if you reviewed this post in a year's time you'll agree.
Can always open a support ticket if you believe our performance speed is lower than expected. We're always around :-)
Originally we were going for the simplistic control area as usually simple is better, but as people have been reaching out with questions or requests for additional features we've been enabling or adding them.
Also interesting about the SSD speed's. I'd also think they'd be noticeably quicker - we have another cluster that we use for testing purposes that is regular SSD's. I'm going to do some benchmark testing between the two out of interest.
Thanks again!
$30/year/first invoice is interesting and fair enough for me but is that currency symbol referring to USD or AUD? Also, it is not clear that you have an IPv6 native support out of the box without any configuration after OS installation or not.
SG <-> AU
Australian Dollars.
We don't support IPv6 at this stage.
Yes, IncognitoBurrito is correct. It's in AUD. Unfortunately I can't update this thread anymore to say AUD - sorry.
That's definitely reassuring. I'm likely going to migrate some of my Australia-based sites from another VPS host to Quantum Core and will keep an eye on their performance
Simple is good, but not allowing ISOs to be mounted is a bit too simple.
BinaryLane's control panel is my favourite one by far. You don't need all their features, but things like being able to upload custom ISOs and change reverse DNS would be really nice. If anything it's good inspiration for functionality that power users find very useful.
Any ETA on IPv6 support? This is one of my main pain points with the service so far.
Oh cool, I didn't realise the discount would cover different billing periods too. I just stuck with the default monthly option so I only got one month discounted
At this stage, we have no plans of introducing IPv6 support. I'll start the discussion today/tomorrow.
If you want to move to an annual package open a ticket and we can apply the discount
I haven't ticketed it, but someone on Whirlpool pointed out that Binary Lane's disk IO performance is quite a bit better than what I was seeing in my benchmark on QuantumCore. AFAIK BinaryLane also use NVMe drives in their newer nodes. Maybe I'll run a few more benchmarks to compare. The comment is here: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/2797399#r10
I hope you can support it soon. I'm using a HE TunnelBroker tunnel for now, but native support would be better
Done, thanks!! This is ridiculously cheap for Australian hosting.
Hey Daniel,
Yea I was notified about the Whirlpool post and a few of us have spent the better part of today working on the IO speeds and will hopefully fix soon. It doesn't look to be affecting everyone.
Yep
Very cheap. Our goal is to provide powerful & affordable VPS Hosting!
We have concluded our testing and we are confident that our read/write is up to standard.

Due to how well our last promotion went, we've decided to do another one! You can use code DISCOUNT50 at checkout for 50% off your first invoice.
Also the new nodes support IPv6 which is awesome. Just migrated my VPS across to a new node today. Thanks!
