Does anybody have experience with Dacentec's VPSes?

Hey, I am looking into getting another vps, and am considering Dacentec, but I can't really find any reviews on their VPS service. I know they are well known as a good dedicated server provider, but have no experience with them. If anybody has had a good or bad experience with their VPS service please let me know.

    Never had one of their VMs but god their dedis are good.

    Yep I got the $10/yr one. Only had it a few weeks though, what do you want to know?

  • TarZZ92TarZZ92 Member

    How is the network speed? How quick was the setup? Were there any problems with it upon delivery?

    Instant setup. I haven't really used it yet, but I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade and it took a noticeably longer time compared to my other VPSes

    The network speeds are decent for the price, but the IP geolocates to NYC for some reason. I get 106ms ping from north UK. Not as good as NYC/NJ but not bad for US.

    They use hostbill and all the VPS management is done from the billing panel. I like it more than WHMCS/SolusVM actually.

    They are more or less instantly setup and as @hostnoob said they use hostbill (+ SolusVM). Network is good.

    The 512MB VPSes looks to be heavily restricted in terms of CPU usage. I use my Dacentec VPSes for testing/development.

    I have updated benchmarks available here.

  • nexusrainnexusrain Member

    Got the 512MB for 1$/m paid monthly. Quiet good for the price imo. Uptime was 100% so far, setup instantly, network alright / good. For the price you really can't do anything wrong.

    They've got a new KVM plan lately, 1GB RAM and 25GB disk space for $2.50

    You can even install Windows 2008 / 2012

    You get 1 CPU core @ 2.26Ghz of Intel L5520 it seems, don't know if dedicated or not ...

    The usual bench.sh:

    Are you sure that's normal? Did you already contact them regarding this?

  • BG32BG32 Member

    How good would windows run on 1GB ram :D

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    IO performance should be higher than that.

    We just added IPV6 for VPS, although this week and next week we are making the big push to get our DDoS platform rolled out.

    Run's fine on tablets and windows server 2012 R2 is basically 8.1 (minus the Desktop experience) so should run perfect :)

    I was about to pick one up...buuuuuut no. Even with the 151 MB/s dacentec reported, I am not jumping for it. I am going to grab one of the $10/year though because memory wise it beats out anything for the price range.
    @dacentec, Anything new coming soon in terms of VPSes?(Other than the DDoS stuff)

    That is still not good, my HDD gets ~134 MB/s for comparison. I would open a ticket about that.
