Bit of NanoVZ Market Research

in Providers

Hi everyone,
As some of you know ive joined up with AnthonySmith to provide LowEnd NAT IPv4 VPS'

Anyway, i've recieved an offer from a Decent provider in Lithuania for a Dedi over there.
I'm just curious as to what the consumers would say about a LES box in the Baltic Region.
Plans for this area would be as follows

1vCPU core (E3-1240)
128mb ram
3gb hdd
500Gb @ 100mbit
21 IPv4 Ports (1 preforwarded ssh port + 20 extra) 
/64 IPv6 Subnet with rDNS

In my opinion this would be a great addition to my current Los Angeles, Lenoir and Dusseldorf.

So, if you wouldnt mind filling out the poll questions below.

Regards,
Ryan

    "I'm a Banana" looked appealing to be honest.

    Any test IP's?

    @introducial not currently no.

  • deployvmdeployvm Member, Host Rep

    Are you using UAB Duomenu Centras (Balticservers) ?

    Thanks.

  • AutoSnipeAutoSnipe Member

    No not balticservers. As they will not be providing ipv6 until Q2-3 2015 (according to their staff)

    Doesn't all the traffic go through the US then?

    From Australia it goes through US->London->Location.

    For me (adelaide)
    I go adelaide->sydney->fremont usa->lithuania

    Try this one (note: grabbed from their dns records on he.net)

    I doubt there are any internet routes that go from Australia to Europe without going through USA. I mean there is some old fiber cable, but it's probably very expensive and only used for voice.

    It seems that only users in Western Australia, will the traffic be routed to the Singapore PoP through SMW3. It does save around ~ 50ms of latency this way. ~300ms to London is pretty good, especially from Australia.

    I the same results from my telstra wifi as @trewq
    But thats all besides the point, would you buy it? :p
    Since it seems that the baltic region doesnt have that many low end providers (only real one i would class is yourserver.se with latvia)

    @AutoSnipe said:

    I wouldn't be needing one. I have dramatically reduced by VPS holdings lately.

    Plus a ping of 400ms, that doesn't help either ;)

    I,m on the boat but to expand locations too fast at beginning time worries me.

  • AutoSnipeAutoSnipe Member

    I know australias routing is horrible.. but putting it out there. If there is enough demand i will surely get a node up and running. But other locations can be suggested anytime :P

    Will get that at first because of lower pings than current LES box which goes about 300ms.

  • ausaus Member

    I guess the ones who need a VPS in Lithuania either lives there or want some sort of geolocation/CDN stuff. For me, LA is good enough.

  • AutoSnipeAutoSnipe Member
    edited October 2014

    @Nullnull well with one node nearly full and just about paid for the entire year up front i thought i would look for more locations.
    Los angeles has lots of capacity left which is good and is already paid 6 months in advance.

    All i can say is if there is enough demand in any region anything is possible. So im looking around doing research.

    @aus glad you are happy with a LA vps. :)

    This. Being able to show geographic diversity is the single most important consideration for an Observium install.

    Routes from Australia are not going to be great, obviously.

    From Madrid, for example they are fine:

    Lowendspirit VPS are a perfect choice for monitoring. The geographic coverage is already good but it may be improved. It would be useful to add north Europe (Lithuania would be ok), Canada, another location in Asia (Singapore, India, China...), est Europe (Bulgaria or Romania) and Russia.

  • trexostrexos Member

    If i were you I would wait until you get profit from your other locations. Having a lot of locations and then close some after a few months because they don't pay off won't be good for the name of your company :l

    I have all of the main LES locations but none of the two partnerships yet. Somewhere like Lithuania would be probably to niche for me, Singapore would be good though, I use EC2 in Singapore quite a bit so it would be nice to be able to test locally.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    I had no will power, had to click the banana option.. :(

    Ignore everything in here, to date the most talked about and asked about location by FAR was Japan... in the end result Japan is the least popular location.

    The least talked about was Dallas, which is by FAR the most popular location, go for hubs not niches :)

    Thanked by 3AutoSnipe AuroraZ mike0000
  • mike0000mike0000 Member

    I have to agree with @AnthonySmith. Niche location is cool, but it just isn't practical. The least useful LES box I have right now is Australia. It's not close to any of my other boxes and none of my sites/projects get much traffic from Aus/NZ.

    Give me lots of decent bandwidth on a fast port (ie Lenoir) and I'll be your friend for life :)
