Arubacloud - is it really that cheap?
Hi guys, recently I tried arubacloud ssd vps. The vps is good, fast i/o and cheap too. But... the price is really cheap, do you think they going to increase the price? I'm looking for yearly vps but if they suddenly increase the price, it will affect my budget.
So guys, do you really think that I should proceed with this provider or find a true yearly vps?
Thanks

Only time can tell.
That why now I'm still searching for good vps deals. Doesn't want to take the risk but the price is tempting.
Arubacloud seems like a deal, no issues in italy since months.
Yep it is really that cheap.
Yes, you don't even need LOA's to announce IPs in some cases!
Beyond tor relay to make that 1 euro worth it, approach with caution.
So Arubacloud is not safe to use? Sorry newbie here.
For your personal site? Sure
They have been known for some nefarious activity in assistance with a paid Hacking Group announcing IPs that were not theirs. If that doesn't concern you, servers seem nice.
Anyone with a BGP VPS without filters can do this?
The problem only affect Italy datacenter right?
Maybe I should start looking other host.
Well yes, they were complicit in it.
Anyone can drive away in a car that isn't their own due to lack of security in some aspect, does not mean they should do it. It was also re-announced Santrex IP space working with LEO.
Again, should that not bother you, probably a nice provider.
They have no plan to increase the price in the short term. That said, I don't know what they mean by "short term"
@Xyy they are very stable and big firm so they have no plans to change the price for 1Euro vps any time soon and they are good at what they do and you even have SLA for 1 euro VPS
I have hosted my email server in 1Euro Vps @DE(germany) with back MX in (UK,CZ,IT)
Any benchmarks whatsoever? And disk I/O?
They sound pretty good, but the comments about the hijacked BGP makes me scared.
don't be. Everyone make mistake

How the f* do I format code here?
They did it under the direction of the Italian police to help them fix a bodged security surveillance operation.
Nothing to be proud of but nothing more than most (especially UK) companies would do I suspect.
Thanks
Very informative website, thanks!
How the f* do I format code here?

and you will get something.:-)
Use the pre tags or check Markdown Syntax for code formatting. Vanilla sucks though...
which datacenter?
So far my vps at germany still up and running. just concern about the price.
Here's my bench.sh at DC5-DE
I can ask them to increase the price for you!
No seriously, they are the biggest hosting provider in Italy, I doubt they will disappear or whatever you're scared about.
I know it's already cheap. I hope the price stay like that at least a year from now. RamNode is too expensive for me.

nope
as I said Aruba is not small in Italy.
Has been fine for me. Fast servers, fast support, cheap price. Everything I could expect in one place. Go for it, even if it won't last forever, take advantage of the pricing while you can.
Reminds me of the time i sent a typo'd /16 to Atrato/HE/Retn, did replicate to the Austrian exchange but luckily not much further...
Owner of another Austrian DC i know (A_n e xia) had his CTO announce a Google /24 by accident before, was also fun as it replicated pretty far...
I also saw in the last month countless tries by Czech GTS to announce 8.8.8.0/24 for some reason, redirecting some Austrian traffic (VIX) to them...
So yea, happens all the time.
It is a reliable company, but remember what good is paid.
