Moving on up to SSD, very nice.
Great to see SSD on the LEB market.
This has better amount of SSD space. Congrats man for the nice offer
This sounds good but speed is kind of weird
Number of cores : 2
CPU frequency : 2400.084 MHz
Total amount of ram : 121 MB
Total amount of swap : 127 MB
System uptime : 1 min,
Download speed from CacheFly: 54.6MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Atlanta GA: 1.61MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Dallas, TX: 2.85MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 1.10MB/s
Download speed from Linode, London, UK: 680KB/s
Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 578KB/s
Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 485KB/s
Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 3.20MB/s
Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 10.0MB/s
Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 1.22MB/s
I/O speed : 379 MB/s
@acarrascope
Do you mind explaining what is weird?
Self explain in results don't you..take a look London ("Main Streets") or Softlayer
@acarrascope
Based on the location of the data center these download speeds look perfectly normal. Keep in mind that individual machines run on a max 100 Mbps port, however Hypervisors are connected through multiple 1Gbps ports
Nice to see more SSD powered offers here, you've offered a decent amount of SSD storage with this offer. Are VPS's purchased earlier with SSD now? -- Never mind, just tried and 15.3 MB/s I/O doesn't look like it's SSD.
archlinux 2010
so many manual interventions
@fan
Unfortunently these are separate plans.
Our Cloud VPS plans run on SAN Storage, however 15.3 MB/s I/O is extremely low. You are more than welcome to open a support ticket and one of our technicians will look into this for you.
more data for process, all good BTW

Thanks, I wasn't using them these days so I didn't notice the slowdown. Perhaps it's a temporary issue, if it continue to be like this, I'll reopen my previous ticket regarding the same issue.
Let me guess your using iSCSI SANs?
@LV_Matt
iSCSI SAN storage with multiple NIC bounded and All hypervisors have at least 2*1Gbps bounded to Storage network.
It's great!
I have one.
I think the main reason that's causing slow I/O is because @stylexnetworks allows you to have a lot of hard drive space as swap while the plan only allocates 256 MB of actual ram. A lot of people can abuse this, using all their 256 MB of ram + up to their hard drive space for swap. As we all know, hard drive != RAM and if there's enough people doing that, it could really hinder the performance.
@black
You are completely correct, the amount does have to be decreased a little. As of now we're currently serving more than 500 customers on our Cloud VPS plans, this was not expected within a short period of time. As a result we are waiting on 2 new SAN storage devices which should arrive within this week which means more IOPS and better performance.
In the future please direct any comments or suggestions regarding our Cloud VPS plans to the proper thread
>
The old thread that will not get bumped back to the front page? The thread no one will look at? ha
@Taylor
If you are experiencing any technical difficulties you are more than welcome to open a support ticket and one of our technicians will assist you further. If you are unsatisfied with the service we provide you are more than welcome to post a review in the proper section, one that will be shown in the "front page". Regardless we would like to keep everything discussed in this thread on topic, which would be our VPS SSD Plans.
I think this must be open as beta request users, two templates of Centos 6 have several issues. 6.3 Virtualmin x64 and 6.3 x64 just isn't Centos 6.3 properly.
Treat as beta must be fair.
@acarrascope
If you are experiencing any technical difficulties please open a support ticket and one of our technicians will assist you further.
I just received an update from one of our technicians:
Centos 6.3 X64 Virtualmin requires a minimum of 256 MB RAM, which has been clearly noted prior to selection.
Centos 6.3 x64 has been fixed.
Virtualmin recommend 256MB RAM, you can tune it for work with 128. For the OS template, if you keep Virtualmin installation on primary stage this could run on 128MB RAM VPS. As ex.shutting down ClamAV give 50MB free(or whole mail related 65MB free) using external SMTP for web app.
Regards
@acarrascope
You are more than welcome to tune your virtual machine, you are provided with full root access. All of our plans are semi-mananged, our technicians are more than happy to point you towards the right direction and give you advice.
Below is the link to an official document from virtualmin on low memory systems
http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/id,virtualmin_on_low_memory_systems/
@acarrascope i am running webmin/virtualmin on Debian setting in StyleX with 46mb, plenty of room left. Just get rid of garbage.
@LAKid
Just out of curiosity, is this on our cloud or SSD plan?
cloud.
Since the setup is like Xen, getting rid of innodb saves a bunch of memory, and since it's in virtualmin, you can block lots of gabages from the system.
@stylexnetworks
I've got one ssd. much better the previous one.
How do I cancel my previous vps? shall I ignore your invoice? Or shall I do something?
@xiaoxian88
Our SSD setup is completely different and separate from our Cloud setup. We just upgraded the hardware in our hypervisors and also in the process of upgrading our SAN storage. This should be done before saturday, you will notice a huge improvement in IO speed.
@stylexnetworks So are you abandoning Cloud setup?
Can anybody using Cloud be migrated to SSD setup?
