    Depending on provider, something in between 25-40 (With cpanel license).

    Null. Big vm's have bigger issue and if I need 8gb ram for a server, I will always pick dedicated server.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @NHNahian thanks for the feedback. What about these:

    2GB RAM
    2 Cores CPU
    40GB Storage
    2TB Transfer
    

    and

    4GB RAM
    2 Core CPU
    80GB Storage
    3TB Transfer

    Agreed, make it 4gb RAM, that would be more reasonable

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    Well, we have this plan too:

    Need More Resources? Better Five includes 16GB RAM, 4 Cores, 320GB storage and 5TB transfer, for $800/month.

  • @shovenose said: 2GB RAM 2 Cores CPU 40GB Storage 2TB Transfer

    Nothing more than 50$. Hivelocities network is not that special :S

    800$/mo for a managed vps? What makes it better than black lotus where you can get a ddos protected full managed xeon e3 box with 16GB ram and Raid 1 storage for 900$?

    Or LiquidWeb where it is full managed and better network with ddos protection and some of the best support techs.

    @NHNahian well, each server will have DDoS protection in place. I think you forgot this is running 4x SSD in Hardware RAID with BBU. :) And it will be on Gigabit networking. Xeon E3-1270v2. So it is truly good. But thanks for the input anyway, we will keep it in mind.

  • @shovenose That BBU means nothing to me and when you say ddos protected, I am more than sure that it is nothing closer to black lotus. I am also on a vps where my service can get affected because of a lousy neighbor.

    @NHNahian. I forgot to mention that we're basically gonna have sales/promos all the time. But still, I truly do appreciate the feedback and we'll see about slashing pricing across the board. Even though I think it's a good price for what you will be getting. and who said that LiquidWeb has better support ;) when this launches in May we're going to blow all the other managed server providers out of the water!

    Are you going to be one of the administrator, Michael?

    @NHNahian nope, very likely not.

  • Will you have certified L3 techs?

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @NHNahian we will have only the best.

  • @shovenose said: sure, I can give you the first month for $1 with a 12-month commitment.

    lmfao, sure, as long as every other month besides first I pay $7, then I'd sign a 3 year agreement, pay for 3 years in advance.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @curtisg if you want to pay right now, I will give you Better Five which is regularly $800/mo for the discounted price of $799/month if you want to pay all 36 months right now. Order link http://my.bettervps.com/?cmd=cart&action=add&id=5

    I cannot overlook this fact. Sorry. I would be willing to pay $7/month.

  • Hugely depends on location and provider. I'd pay much more for something at 111 8th Avenue than for something in Florida. Probably would pay $20-25.

  • @tech163 said: I'd pay much more for something at 111 8th Avenue

    We have this location.

    @OP Around $25 is reasonable.

  • @Shovenose man I was going to take you up on the irresistible but your whole site has gone awol.

  • @Jamlayer fine here

  • $2.50

    $7

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    Yeah I'm moving the site around. :)

    Nothing special about Hivelocity's network or service. In fact, not a good place for VPS businesses to grow with. They are unfriendly with VPS hosts and if you get a spam complaint/SBL blacklisting from an abusive VPS customer they will charge you a $500 fee or kick you out. Then if you refuse to pay the $500 fee, they will kick you out and charge you $150 per drive to ship the hard drives to you to get your data. I know this because my previous employer has witnessed this for himself a couple years ago, and there are also plenty of horror stories about this on WHT. If you are trying to go for a "premium" approach and want to charge hundreds per month per VPS then use Softlayer.

    4 $ ?

    Link?

  • You need to create a ticket asking for a NY VPS. We don't have it in client area as it's a popular location.
