    yeah I most likely can't resist the cheap 4GB SAS for long. so far I am happy with both locations (AMS & DUS) for the storage servers.

    if I remember correctly UK is with clouvider so should be good as well, though you need to stick to the ssd offers then.

    Yes, I iwill probably go with a SSD in UK and a Storage in NL. The SAS offer is very good but I don't know how will it be in terms of disk speed. Do you have any bench?

    Also can anyone confirm if the BF deals are recurring? Or the price is just for first year?

  • nqservices said: Do you have any bench?

    not yet.

    I didn't even (fully decide to) order yet... but am convinced that it will be satisfying in terms of IO and throughput. from what I've seen during the last years being a customer, I had never issues with that. but I don't do anything else then plain boring webhosting ;-)

  • nqservices said: Also can anyone confirm if the BF deals are recurring? Or the price is just for first year?

    This was answered 'yes of course' above.

  • All above BF plans are also KVM?

    They only do KVM now

    vasechka said: how much extra bandwidth?

    DE and NL: 1,50 EUR per TB
    All other locations: 10 EUR per TB

    vasechka said: solaris, illumos, freebsd or linux based?

    We use SmartOS (based on illumos).

    vasechka said: what zraid used?

    Striped mirrors and striped RAID-Z2 for storage VMs.

    willie said: Can you confirm both locations? Last time it was NL only. Thanks.

    Yes, storage VMs are available in Amsterdam and Duesseldorf.

    nqservices said: @UltraVPS Does your company meet GDPR law?

    Yes, but the documents are currently available in German only.

  • Seems pretty nice. What is your policy on CPU use? Is it possible to use 100% of one core for several minutes (data processing)? Thanks!

  • is SAS better than ssd?

  • Is nested virtualization possible on these? Would a private network be possible between multiple vps's?

  • @datanoise said:

    yes, there are no BS rules like don't do bla percentage of xy in waddawadda minutes.

    systems are properly balanced and you can actually use them ;-)

    The SAS has a decent amount of always available IOPS : around 800-1000. Should be good for the Gitlab instance you're looking for.

    My gitlab installation (on a dedi) idles at 3.3GB ram usage with 2 unicorn workers. Go for 4GB for 10 users. (even though the docs say 8GB now. RIDICULOUS)

  • Support is telling me that you don't offer any Windows ISO to install on my new VPS. My Google search shows UltraVPS has done so in the past. Does this mean I'm going to have to provide my own ISO now?

    i have 200+ users but most of them are inactive, daily 4-5 ppl logs into it thats it.
    so do you suggest going with SAS-Special-2 ?

    or do you think of any suggestions?
    thanks

    Probably stick with netcup 8GB+ SSD then. You can't do anything about network latency. Any VPS in EU will be 99% same assuming the ping is similar.

    Edit: sorry ultravps, didn't mean to pollute your offer thread. I thought it was another thread discussing the same.

    Yes, you can use 100% of your CPU cores at any time.

    MagicalTrain said: Is nested virtualization possible on these?

    I am sorry, that's not possible at the moment.

    MagicalTrain said: Would a private network be possible between multiple vps's?

    Yes, please contact our support.

    storm said: Support is telling me that you don't offer any Windows ISO to install on my new VPS.

    That's correct due to copyright reasons.

    storm said My Google search shows UltraVPS has done so in the past.

    No, we never did that.

    seenu said: is SAS better than ssd?

    Since we reserve larger amounts of memory for ARC and also use NVMe SSDs as slogs, the performance of our SAS nodes is excellent, but of course the IO performance of our SSD nodes is better.

    Unless you are a douche or don't know what your doing, you won't need a refund.

    These guys have stellar services and support.

    It's too bad they didn't offer any monthly deals this time, but I will say, if your super concerned about it, if you e-mail them/open a ticket they are usually pretty good at working at a custom deal and even on occasion allowing you to pay by month instead of 3/ 6/ 12.

    Been using Provider Services (the parent brand of UltraVPS) for years, everything from dedicated servers to VPS, these guys are professionals, so you can expect a high quality of service.

    my 2 cents.

    Cheers!

  • (1) Is it possible to purchase "Storage-Special-0" first for testing, if the everything is ok then upgrade to higher plan "Storage-Special-2" subsequently may be after BF with the price 60 EUR per 6 months?

    (2) Any custom Storage plan can be provided?

    I am sorry, we don't offer customized plans.
