Conclusions
I know that most of us buy Hostsolutions because of torrents and big amount of traffic. I bough it because of vpn, shadowSocks. And i need stable and fast speed. For me speed is good but on busy time (on evening) speed can be 2 times slower, in any way not bad for that price. Sometimes i can't use it at all because bad guys ruin speed to 5 Mbit/s / 5 Mbit/s. Please use it but do not abuse host because not only you use it. Hope @cociu catch all bad guys and speed will be stable high.
In two words:
Good deal with good speed.
Thanks.
Comments
In before sisters.
Amen.
They also deal with Speed? Holy cow. And I still get my stuff from the shady guys at the local railway station! Time to contact them directly!
no worry , we have advert yet many abusers, we will keep a eye in the next days and ia m sure will be better in the next days. Also thanks for the review.

lol, that's awesome. Going to use that.
Network is fast my man
My sister sent a letter to me, she's safe and well with cociu. Datacenter is nice and cool, which is a nice way she can relax after a solid 16 hours on the plow.
My VPS is working nicely. Good trade as far as I'm concerned.
I wish I knew that meme about sisters
Sometimes it's surprisingly fast ...
Other times, not so much.
You don't know if you have a sister? Perhaps ask your parents.
He used to have one, then his sister became a sister and now he's got nun
My Small VPS after convert to KVM was really awfull at first day. Today look much better but anyway still have problems. After converting RAM show 482Mi (before show 512MB) , no SWAP ( before 128MB) and disable AES for CPU (before was enable), CPU much slower (look tests below), cant get 100MBit/s by iperf3, much slower VPN then before, cant do YABS test with FIO (system all the time kill process) but now 25HDD (before 10 gb hdd ).
I think need wait month to take more objective view but need add swap and enable AES for CPU because i ordered this vps for VPN and Proxy and i wanted to get 100Mbit/s per openvpn but without enable AES for CPU do not think that it possible.
Beche.sh (after covert to KVM)
YABS (after covert to KVM)
Nench.sh (after covert to KVM)
Under the price, shared port speed is fair.
Set CPU to pass-through may brought better performance include AES.
CPU Flags (after covert to KVM)
thanks. hope this will happen in near future.
You can open ticket request to enable AES-NI.. I always do that everytime order new VPS from HS.
II didn't know this for the past 2 or 3 years...
Edit: they launched KVM line not that long so i think i am not too late.
Open ticket and support enable AES-NI, but swap no.
Now works ok.

IIRC with KVM you need to create the swap partition yourself. On OVZ this was template bound (like either you have it, or you don't)
They know. Swap is just somehow better when the provider puts it in there instead of doing it themselves.
It is KVM, create swap yourself.
Did not member that it is can be done in 4 strings. Last time create swap on my Asus router some years ago. Thanks.
@ofit
It's somewhat straightforward, but keep in mind to add the swapfile to
/etc/fstab(at least on debian based systems, don't know about others) to make it permanentIt should look something like this
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0Additionally, I prefer other numbers (bs and count) when using dd for such files
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 #also creates a 1GiB (1024 * 1 MB) file, but is easier to remember and modify imoAfaik, this (changing the blocksize) doesn't affect performance (for the swap) in anyway, but correct me if I'm wrong.
