Comments
This looks pretty good for US users.
OpenVZ7 is not ovz.
Surprised there aren't more comments.
What do you mean OpenVZ7 isn't OpenVZ? This confused me (probably due to lack of coffee in my bloodstream yet).
can use for anything? or just backup only?
Tried to edit. Too late.
It should have been ovz6.
Just highlighting that openvz7 was a much different beast.
The VPSs come with full root access so you're welcome to use them for anything (within our AUP of course).
I want to agree but after digging into the guts of OpenVZ 7 to get it working with Wyvern (it required less modification than I anticipated) I'm pretty impressed so far with how similar it is with OpenvZ 6.
what kernel is this? can you run docker?
1) 3.10.0-862.20.2.vz7.73.29
2) Probably not, looks like it requires veth for Docker to work properly. I'd recommend getting a KVM VPS if you want Docker support: 512MB @ $3.99/m or 1GB @ $4.99/m
That's a great price structure. Used SecureDragon in the past and it was really solid service. Might need to get in on this!
Ah ok. I got my 'impression ' from a conversation with an experienced openvz provider, who was calling kvm vs openvz7 a close race.
(for phasing out openvz6 in November)
Pretty sure this translates to
vzctl is about the same
. There's more under the hood changes, but overall it's the same basic platform. Some like going KVM because then you don't have the $0.04/year clients bitching about an old kernel and morons upgrading to the latest-and-greatest userland of the day and having it blow up in their face.Personally, I prefer KVM for maintenance and ability, but OVZ for monitoring for abuse and other issues that you generally get with the cheaper clientele.
RECOMMENDED all the way
One of the best providers on LET
Why 'secure dragon'? Dragons in nature are not secure, they are dangerous.
Good prices but too high for LET I think
Perhaps the dragon is comfortable within his own scales.
Wow, how is $5.99 for 1 TB high?
Technically he didn't say it was high. He said it was "too high for LET" where people come to find unsustainable offers that they can then complain about. Back me up @deank .
I don't back guys.
The end isn't nigh, yet.
The verdict is still out for me, I still prefer OpenVZ 6 but 7 is growing on me. KVM is a whole different beast and I'm not particularly a fan of it.
Secure as in the dragon is securing it. Our servers are the dragon's gold and they are guarding it.
April Fools to you too.
I just kidding, happy april fools! I love that offer, extremely low prices
Can we do full disk encryption on OpenVZ 7?
No, OpenVZ 7 is still just a container. You'll want a dedicated server for true FDE where nobody else has access to the keys.
@alilet But I do have a suggestion, you can consider using end-to-end encryption where the encrypted data are transmitted to a trusted machine (Own computer / another KVM server for decryption)
Think of it like mounting the OVZ as a remote storage, everything written in is encrypted
Always do this. FDE on hardware in a network you do not own shouldn't be considered safe. Encrypt before you transmit, then you have the added bonus of using cheap, untrusted storage like OpenVZ VPSs, Amazon, Google, and more.
Great offers!
and for my 2c, Virtuozzo 7 is a different beast to vz6 I think would be the appropriate phrase people are looking for
Will there be any promos on your KVM line in the future?
Nope, our KVM services are already cheaper than our OpenVZ plans.
Gotcha, thanks. My SecureDragon storage ftp/rsync plan has been great .
Its FUSE enabled? To run Rclone for example
You can enable it in our Wyvern control panel.
