If I understand correctly, the second plan, if paid biannually, provides a better GB RAM-to-price ratio than to the BF deals (other than the bandwidth, storage, and core count reduction)... nice

How many core per plan ? and if stacked ?
For the first plan, if I pay for 2 years, can you do 2x storage space instead of 2x RAM?
Are you looking for some textual fun?
You can see the CPU on the order page. CPU cores are not added when stacking, only dedicated %.
Unfortunately not

Can I stack
storage
too? And if yes how it actually works, I don't see any +1 before ordering - order two, message support? Merge button will show up?Based on the previous thread I did the following:
Granted my service was for an NVMe server, but it doesn't explicitly say storage isn't considered, so it's probably fine.

Maybe it's me, but cpu allocation seem low for the quantity of RAM.
Yes

Madrid and Milan looking glass are not working.
Can you post their IP (both v4 and v6)?
How much CPU am I allowed to use persistently on the 2GB x2 plan?
What CPU model is that?
I snagged Deal of the Year: $6.9/year, 6 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 105GB NVMe - but it got away.
Your site isn't loading for me.

Most of their locations are either E5-2680 v2 or E5-2690 v2
FWIW I'm using a HostHatch Madrid server for https://dnstools.ws/. You can do pings/traceroutes from there or ping/traceroute

Any chance to make the second deal possible in amsterdam? I had a similar ticket open a few days ago.
Hello, is the price of storage 250g in lax set wrong?
Interesting... I'm seeing the same thing too (now that the site is loading for me). It's showing $75/year rather than $18/year
FWIW based on my own anecdotal testing I'd recommend Chicago over Los Angeles for storage if the ping times aren't too bad from your location. Faster disks and slightly faster CPU. Both are really good for the price though!

I want one server for serving all of Europe.
Stockholm: Telia, supposed to good but a little too north
Warsaw: Cogent, bad reputation in the US
Madrid: M247, all the traffic goes to France and sometimes UK
Order page says 12.5% CPU.
This CPU model is Ivy Bridge 3.00 GHz, so 12.5% is only 375 MHz.
If RAM is doubled but CPU isn't, this would be underpowered.
If both are doubled, it's more reasonable.
@hosthatch do you double both RAM and CPU percentage, or is it still at 12.5%?
I snagged Deal of the Year: $6.9/year, 6 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 105GB NVMe - but it got away.
That means 12.5% dedicated. You're free to use 12.5% CPU constantly, and can burst to 100%, but you can't constantly use 100%. Other providers have similar limits but they just say "fair use" and don't explain what "fair use" actually means. At least HostHatch is clear about it

The "other providers" I have all have specified limits that are higher than this.
Without naming names:
12.5% for 4GB is low in comparison.
If I run an application similar to an in-memory database, I'm concerned that I'll exceed CPU allocation.
I snagged Deal of the Year: $6.9/year, 6 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 105GB NVMe - but it got away.
Yeah, I didn't say that it's a high limit, just that they're clear about what the limit is.
For comparison, I've got a 16GB RAM / 80GB NVMe VPS and it's got 100% dedicated core. On the other hand, I also have some 1GB RAM / 10GB NVMe VPSes from their Black Friday sale and they're either 25% or 30% dedicated depending on location 🤔
Are the prices of those providers comparable though? For example, BuyVM offer 100% CPU for 4GB but they're $15/month which is way higher.
Edit: I see you added the prices now

I wanted to pay for two years, but I only paid for one year, what can I do?
Because one year is $18 and two years is $32, I think it's a better deal.
Name it,looks very good deal.
but you do know that virmach cores are already throttled and yet steal is easily more than 20.0 right?
I also want to change the payment period to 2 years?
How should we do?
I bought plan 3 at Stockholm, and have payed the invoice, but it has been showing "Finalising" for about 3 hours. Is it normal? Please check the Invoice #230733. Thanks.
@hosthatch
is there chance to get this offer again, HostHatch 10TB storage for $10/month, I don't have vps with hosthatch but I would like to try if it has this plan.
Same here, but I think it’s normal. Searching for “finalizing” got many results.
Yes, its normal. They manually provision promo servers. Im still waiting for my 7 vps but 2 got already delivered.
$20 per year but $50 per 2 years???
I think it is 2 years with 2x ram and 2x bandwidth
Any 10TB storage?
My favorite providers : hostsolutions hosthatch
For the other ones it's correct, for this one it is wrong
Dash Cloud: Cheap Consumer Cloud GPUs and Consulting Services, FluidStack: Cheap Enterprise Cloud GPUs (aff link)
+1
In some cases, one location with very good connectivity should be prioritized over a myriad of different data centers, each with average connectivity. Fiber should be ~10 ms per 1000 miles, so a single location with amazing connectivity should theoretically be sufficient to serve a web app across all of Europe with sub-30 ms latency.
Think some users would be willing to pay extra for a location with premium bandwidth.
Although, the pricing on these is great for other things like compute and cool if you want to build your own load balanced systems. I'm using some to play around with k8s, and latency doesn't matter on that given it's just for fun and testing.

Thanks.
I didn't know.
I feel cheated.
Nevertheless, these are not VirMach:
I currently have a server in Amsterdam for serving all of Europe.
It works well with 60% of viewers receiving 720p video resolution, but I'm afraid the provider would call me stupid and block my account at some point.
This offer has similar prices and I can get 4x the RAM.
However, the 12.5% CPU is a turn-off.
Also, connectivity seems to be worse.
I snagged Deal of the Year: $6.9/year, 6 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 105GB NVMe - but it got away.
sorry, I just realized it should be 40.
But at least the first and last of these were some pretty crazy deals with very limited stock (e.g. 5 available), requiring you to video yourself doing obscene acts etc.
Strictly your point might be correct, but I think if you compare to other offers with similar availability it isn't bad.
They said they're not going to offer that deal again:
They don't allow transfers any more either, so even a customer that already has one can't transfer it to you

hosthatch is regurgitated dog shit with a perception it's good
lurking in the shadows like a wombat or some shit
Their AMS location if they make it available again in a next sale?

That's a shame. I can understand why they do that (better to have customers idling their VPS than actually using it, and the ressources will become available next years to be sold again, potentially to a LET addict that will let this VPS idle again) but it's a better long term strategy IMO to have customers using and enjoying your services. Transfers are great for that: the service can move until it finds the user for which this VM with its limits will be the perfect server.
Netcup Easter Eggs Tracker
Yeah my guess is that disallowing transfers is a tactic to phase out less profitable plans over time (to stop them from just being passed from person to person indefinitely)... Either that or it takes too much support time that could be used for other things.
I'm not too surprised as many providers don't allow transfers - I think providers like VirMach that are very flexible with transfers are outliers.
Not a fan of hosthatch? I think they're pretty good for the price.

Anyone with Benchmark from nvme vps?

If I already have a server in my
.ssh/config
, I compare to them, not "other offers" that I don't have.Top result of "hosthatch review" agrees with you:

Can agree. Their pricing is the only reason to go with them.
I believe they've actually said this is the case.
I would like Amesterdam for the 1st plan stack *2 ?
Top three reviews: person pissed off for getting kicked off, person pissed off for getting kicked off, person pissed off about not getting TUN/TAP to work and trying to get refund. Not sure this is truly representative ...
Hosthatch is like SirFoxy's bad ex- . They can't communicate and he just can't let it go.
It was, fixed it, sorry.
Please open a ticket and we'll get it done for you.
Honestly, it has nothing to do with that. Transfers are temporarily unavailable. There was a 'secondary market' for our promotional servers. The problem is that we were getting tens of requests per day after Black Friday, and it puts huge stress on the support queue - add to that the fact that the new user might try to hold us responsible if the seller misrepresented something to them.
We will bring transfers back in a while. As you said, it is in our long term interest that people use their services and renew them and allowing transfers is a good way of ensuring that.

I am on verge of buying another storage server. But have few queries:
Is it a KVM VPS or OpenVZ based?
What happens after the traffic bandwidth is exhausted? Are users allowed limited connectivity till next renewal?
