fastpipe.io is a brand of combahton GmbH, offering Cloud and Dedicated Servers within two datacenters in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Our services are based on latest HPE and Supermicro servers, offering outstanding realiability and performance. We also operate our own fully redundant, multi-datacenter Juniper based network.
Want to learn more about our technical infrastructure and how we take care of their operation? - See our infrastructure details.
Some key features of our SSD Cloud Servers
High Availability: All SSD Cloud Servers are provisioned on a redundant, highly available KVM Cluster consisting of multiple Cloud and Storage Nodes. HA is provided by Corosync and GlusterFS. More details can be found on https://www.fastpipe.io/blog/?p=186.
Excellent connectivity: By default, every cloud server node is connected with 2x 10Gbit to our network. This provides network-level fault resilience, fast data transfers, and best performance even at peak times. Network-intensive applications are excellently hosted with us.
DDoS-Protection: Our cloud servers include our exclusive DDoS protection, which unique beside other well known solutions. Even DDoS attacks on web applications are filtered out by our DDoS protection.
Additional IP-Addresses: You can add additional IP addresses (from 1.49\u20ac) and subnets (from 6.95\u20ac) to your instance. The setup takes place immediately, the reserved address ranges are routed to an instance of your choice.
Daily Backup: Data loss is annoying. Accordingly, our cloud server nodes are equipped with several hard drives (hardware raid) as standard. You can avoid the risk of self-generated data loss with minimal effort through our automated snapshot backups. For this purpose we make a complete backup of your server daily between 02:00 to 10:00 am.
Scale at any time: Do you need more CPU power, memory or disk space instant? Scale your server automatically to the next higher level, fully automated and without changing the existing configuration or data. We only charge you the difference in connection with the current remaining term.
Virtual Private Lan: Create your own, isolated networks with our Virtual Private Lan (VPL). VPLs behave like V-Lans and provide an internal network between different instances where you can freely use your own IP addresses. Choose between 1Gbit, 2Gbit or 5Gbit interfaces.
Free BGP (AS30823): Already own an AS and IP-Space? Just open a ticket after your server has been provisioned and tell us your ASN and Prefixes with valid route objects. We will configure the session within two business days.

Hope your support has improved. Service experience was a nightmare in recent times.
Anyways, actual question is if it's a dedicated core.
Yes of course, it has improved! - At the beginning of 2020, we experienced some growth, which delayed processing of support inquieries. Workload due to Covid-19 didnt make it better at first. As we're hosting several companies with realtime video applications, we had quite a lot to do in order to almost double capacities.
The beauty of our Cloud infrastructure is, that we can live migrate servers between nodes. Every node is monitored on it's performance measures. If load reaches a specific measure, which still leaves some room for additional load, we just migrate top users on other nodes.
We might introduce a application to handle such tasks automatically in the future. Currently it's done manually. As this does not happen to often, it's still fine for the person on call.
Is it a dedicated core/thread you are offering?
Yes, all cores are fully dedicated. As described, we live balance load across all nodes in case load of a single node gets to high.
For 5 bucks dedicated core? ...
You are open to try it out. As I said, we are running a cluster infrastructure - not all customers are needing all ressources at any time. Most instances are not doing more than 10% of their maximum possible load. Thats called mixed calculation, which makes us able to offer dedicated ressources.
Ok
What is the hardware on your latest compute rollout? I recall you mentioning that it's coming online this week.
Any EPYC tales?
Just our standard Intel Setup - AMD and NVMe is something, which we will introduce until the end of this year - currently we're planning to upgrade storages to NVMe Caching at least.
To be more specific, we will introduce fully flexible cloud servers. Means you can choose between Intel or AMD CPU, different types of Storage (HDD, SSD, NVMe) and up/down-scale. Currently we do support only upscaling, as we also upgrade the disk space (which cant be shrinked).
There are some future plans ongoing - the only thing which holds us back, is development time
