First of all, let me apology for the forgoten promises of benchmark post and also thanks to @prometeus for giving me a vps for running the Benchmark :)

    Yep, atm the king of eu LEBs IMO. I think same specs would cost 10 times more at a "regular" provider. Add to this his will to help and nice personality...

    ~500MB/s that's insane.
    But on KVM euro node is slightly lower, varies between ~100 ~270MB/s.

    Well, i am curious, how much was the storage ? In Eur.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Disks were less than €2K per server if I remember well, 6x600GB SAS2 10K, more or less half the cost of the server itself...

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Thanks.
    I am thinking that you are subsidizing LEB ppl. Am I right ?

    No, as I already said somewhere it's more or less an old school business plan with a 2 years ROI as this is not our main income nor we depend on this to survive...

    When I started again our online presence with our products (HA VM, Business vps) I had the impression that most people considered Italy like an exotic location, out of the Big Internet, so instead of insisting on selling our old product at a ever more discounted rate only to make people try our service, I asked my wife and my brothers to provide me 4 servers, our old SAN storages and a budget of €25K to start over the "Budget" (low end) line of service.

    So the decision was: start from bottom, make people know we can play on par with other host providers and see what can be done in two years.... ;-)

    BTW: subsidizing LEB in a place like this is more or less like for a narco trafficant giving away a dose or two in front of schools ;-)

    That's so true.

    Not really, it is more like giving those in places where addicted live :) Not all kids in school are addicted yet while we are over here.

  • I think he was refering especially to Prometeus VPSs, not VPSs in general.

    Yikes, 2 years at full capacity to make a dime of profit? Does that factor in bandwidth? Doesn't seem like that 'plan' can last too long.....

    I'm not sure to understand what do you mean... Could you please elaborate?

  • Sorry for bumping up this thread :)

    It's been the 2nd years of my active vps with Prometeus VZ3, and since the last reboot for patching OpenVZ, my uptime for this vps is 117 days.

    Overall, I'm very satisfied with the performance and the stability :)

    A simple system info can be viewed here :

    If you need any benchmark or something, please make a comment to this thread :)

    Seriously I was confused reading Mao and uncle Sal asking each other like that...
    ...until I looked at the date they are posted.

  • I have one on its KVM, the uptime now is:-

    Current Server Time 2013-09-23 21:06:01
    Server Uptime 465Day 10Hour 11Minute

  • Hehe, that's one of the reason I'm moving from OpenVZ to Xen and KVM, for a better uptime :)

    Currently, I'm also having Prometeus Xen Biz and the iwStack, let's wait for another post / benchmark in the next year.

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Hehe, I see 500+ MB/s was great speed, now I saw 1.9 GB in Dallas and not many people are so amazed.
    Shortly after this I joined Uncle, I think a month or so :)

  • May I post another review like this for the Prometeus in Dallas, M?

    It would use serverbear script, so I hope it not affecting other users :)

    Go ahead, do you think you are the only one running benchmarks ? It only uses one thread of 8, so no problem, as for io, there is plenty...

    This reminds of a joke:
    One guy in a taxi:
    Hey, may I smoke ?
    Sorry sir, this is a no smoking car.
    Then what's up with all these ashes from cigarettes ?
    They are from the people that didnt ask for permission.
