Let's make a list of providers to replace hostsolutions.ro

As with the recent fiasco with hostsolutions.ro many of us are looking for a cheap VPS with lots of storage and bandwidth.

If you are a provider:
Post some amazing storage deals here for people to grab, even your own current listing on your website will do. Please also post a quick AUP, and add if the storage is DMCA ignored or not, and are torrents allowed,

If you are an end-user:
Found an alternative to hostsolutions.ro POST THEM. If you don't you may just bump this thread, I guess that would be nice.

Thanks to everyone who will decide to participate in this thread, and help all refugees from hostsolutions to live another day.

Peace

    You need to be banned for making a thread suggesting that this host needs a replacement. Paging @default, get in here and berate him. We DO NOT suggest that this provider is anything short of perfection on LET, and if you know what's good for you you'll keep your mouth shut... OR ELSE.

  • @virmach - don't you already have enough pending orders?

    This was KVM? What kind of RAID? And what read/write speeds and upload/download speeds could you realistically expect? Would Amsterdam location be comparable to the locations they offered?

    I got some parts for our storage node that's been delayed, but it'll be in Los Angeles. So I should be able to see if I can get it going today.

    (edit) Forgot to mention why this is important, I won't be having Netherlands for some time.

    @databoss said: @virmach - don't you already have enough pending orders?

    Actually, not many people took the storage offer.

  • @VirMach said:

    Unsustainable.

    30 Euros a year for 1TB could be done. I'm not going to promise anything, but I would like to think we don't mind taking some losses if we can help anyone out who has been (allegedly) screwed over by a company.

    yes KVM, RAID 0 as I remember, 5 disks in RAID 0 kind of speeds, 500 Mbit would be realistic for burst and anything for constant. Hell yeah AMS would do, and they did Romania

    @skorupion said: RAID 0

    Oh man.

    I don't see this advertised on their site or any type of warnings about this, am I okay to assume though that somehow their customers still knew that their data was at risk? Or would they only find out after it was lost forever? Was this primarily used then for data that was unimportant?

    Okay, final question, how important is Europe location? I assume it's pretty important?

  • Most seem to want DMCA Free etc etc

  • VirMachVirMach Member, Patron Provider

    Okay, so this is something we could do. I don't know the timeline and we're notoriously bad with them so I won't even promise to sell this yet, but I would need to somehow register the level of interest.

    Anyone interested, please fill out the form. I'll try to either update you here or via email about how we'll proceed.

    I honestly can't comment on this. In my opinion nobody could replace HostSolutions offers because they were too damn cheap, but you are smart enough to already know that math.

    To try and answer your call: Yes, HostSolutions would need a replacement. This is because provider tag was removed from HostSolutions, so this low-end provider's chair is now available.

    I love offers. I love LET for special offers. I can see Virmach already tries to step up. I respect @Virmach for the courage.

    I could do it, but HDD prices are meh. I found some good deals here and there.

    Isn’t worth it tbh, seeing that cociu went bankrupt for doing such deals says a lot.

    We are now proud owners of 36x brand new 14TB HDDs (for about the same price we got our 16TB HDDs, not terrible.) Edit: plus 4 extras in case any immediately fail.

  • There are were multiple positive factors about hostsolutions

    • you could pay by btc
    • no dmca
    • located in Romania
    • a lot of bandwidth

    End users and server owner had good privacy because of those factors.
    Romania is one of very few European Union members where data retention law isnt enforced and was labeled as unconsitutional.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
    Those were my personal factors.
    BTW I never pushed more than 1-4TB of bandwidth on those servers, having 30TB in price felt very comforting

  • ApeWebApeWeb Member, Host Rep

    I can do DMCA ignored and unmetered BW in any location but HDD storage in Moldova (or any other location) is out of stock for a good few months and HS prices are unsustainable. Was thinking of doing a byo drive offer in Moldova. We worked out if you could send the drive to our London office we could have it sent down and installed for £10. Just not sure what the take-up for such an offer would be like.

  • @apeweb make sure to charge a clear and distinct shipping and HANDLING fee for the drives return (like $10 plus postage to return it etc. And get the fee upfront

    We would. Don't pay return shipping fee = no returned drive so is easy to enforce.

    Well maybe that's why we call it "legendary" deal.

    All purchased, thank you for the suggestion. Just remind me to cancel these before they renew at $68. Oh wait, why am I worried, the card will just decline.
