    Excellent news @intovps, congratulations.
    Your hardware setup is incredible, well done!

    Thank you!

    BTW, you might want to update the cPanel license pricing?

    Yes, we're updating pricing cPanel this month. In the meanwhile that $13 price is still available, paid monthly :smile:

    PLS run nench.sh for the instance you're selling here for 3 USD, in the new location. :P

    Just created a $3 instance, which took 9 seconds, btw. (NVMe rulz!)

    Ahh, so this provider requires a deposit for an amount larger than the monthly service fee? I understand now. This information should be better communicated IMHO as with the exception of 1 all providers I have dealt with are prepaid for the amount of the actual service(s) I have ordered. Not some random deposit amount that is undisclosed anywhere except for the FAQ. Who reads FAQ's when they know what they want? :pensive:

    Thanked by 2hyperblast intovps
  • williewillie Member

    $10 or so deposit is completely normal for prepaid hourly-billed services. Do you seriously expect to prepay $0.0045? $10 is minimum deposit for vultr and ovh. Hetzner and DO are both postpaid (at least for me). I don't know about Lunanode. I agree it would be better to state this up front in the offer though. Maybe $7 would be more in the LET spirit but I'd tend to let this slide.

    @alento and all, thank you for the feedback. We'll find a way to be more clear in how our billing system works,

    If anyone wants to pay a lower than $10 initial deposit, place your order and PM me.

  • intovpsintovps Member, Host Rep
    edited July 2019

    As others have mentioned, we do hourly billing, so once you add the credit you can just create a virtual machine, use it for one hour and delete it. You'll be charged just for one hour.

    You can obviously create a VM (or multiple) in any region, any package (flavor as it's called in OpenStack) with or without Windows license. And delete it any time you want.

    Different than the regular monthly paid VPS package.

    intovps said: As others have mentioned, we do hourly billing

    Right, person is just surprised at seeing a $3 monthly offer, signing up, and being asked to pay $10. Suggestions are: 1) say right in the offer that they should expect that. 2) decrease amount from $10 to $7 per LET limit for monthly offers. Preferably decrease all the way to $3 but that's less important.

    Indeed. I can no longer edit the first post to clarify.

    I can lower the invoice to $7 or even $3 if PMed.

    Possible to buy block of bw in advance (like 10TB-20TB on $3 plan)

    @hzr said:

    So on our standard over-usage pricing, of 0.02 / GB, 10 TB would be $200.

    But I think we can find some middle ground. PM me with your budget.

    We're still testing and experimenting various scenarios on big SATA storage. The first location would be in Cluj. No ETA or pricing yet.

  • williewillie Member

    It sounds like your network from Cluj is nowhere near as big as in Bucharest: why put big storage at Cluj before the network is scaled out?

  • intovpsintovps Member, Host Rep

    We've got the local redundant 80Gbs network in Cluj. Everything was prepared for centralized storage.

    I'm a bit torn. Some parts look attractive but others, in particular bandwith (costs) certainly don't.

    From what I know there are basically 3 (more or less) major (incl. LET segment) providers in Romania: intovps, virtono, and HostSolutions and I think it would be interesting to have at least 1 with the "right balance".

    I'd be willing to run a short (2 or 3 days) benchmark and make a review, but 20$ per TB are a bit shocking and I also fail to see why higher CPU and RAM seem to be tighly coupled to higher traffic volume. I mean there are plenty people out there needing high proc/mem power but little traffic as well as the opposite.

    Or you can upgrade from $3 to $6 Cluj package and get +1TB for +$3.

    We haven't looked closely to bandwidth included in a while, I'll see if we can upgrade it.

    I of course understand that but that would mean that I have to get and pay for other resources which I do not need, too.

    Frankly, I think that there will be a major wave of death throughout the whole VPS market once one smart provider builds and offers a VPS "Lego" system where customers can "build" their own VPS with say 1 - 8 cores, 0.5 - 16 GB memory, 10 - 250 GB disk, 0.25 - 20 TB traffic and optionally maybe even a large storage disk (HDD) from 100 - 4000 TB and all of that in reasonable steps like 256 MB steps up to 1.5 GB memory and 1 GB steps beyond.

    Bandwidth pooling like linode does it, plus unmetered private nic ( within location), should take care of bandwidth fair pricing.

    Good thing you're already on openstack, hey. 🤞

  • williewillie Member

    That exists ("resource pools") but it's not that big a deal. There's only so many combinations possible at the low end anyway.

  • vyas11vyas11 Member

    For DA license option a bit confusing but this might save some tickets for @intovps

    Pasting the mail I received in response:

    "There is no monthly billing plan.
    The prices are per hour with a monthly cap.
    You can add credit in advance to your account for a longer period of time if you want.
    To activate your free DA you have to add enough credit for one full month (according to your plan pricing) and then you can send the server hostname and the IP of the VPS for which do you want the licence."

    Add lossless upscaling (of disk cap) and low priced downscaling to it plus a fair price burst traffic capability and it is a big thing.

    Sure, that's one model. But expect to pay much higher rates per GB.

    You can find it at AWS, GCP, Azure.

    It's easy to overlook that 1 GB of traffic included in the package is hugely different than 1 GB of extra, actually consumed, traffic.

    The classic VPS package with traffic included has a certain amount of healthy overselling from which everyone wins.

    You you're looking to pay $3 / 1000 GB = $0.003 / GB of consumed traffic, that's something we cannot offer.

    Not saying it won't happen but in general it won't happen soon in such small increments, at least on KVM.

    This is because any provider worth their salt when building their hypervisors will plan out resources and overhead on the server or servers they intend to use in advance. Usually this means you know going in that you are going to tie X amount of cpu to X amount of memory, if you don't do this you end up either over provisioning or end up with a bunch of weird sized VMs which utilize resources in a fashion that end up being abusive to the node.

    One good example of how this could cause abuse, would be someone purchasing a server with too small memory resources and they setup a 2GB swap file and start swapping non-stop, 24/7, resulting in abuse of IO and slowing down IO for all located on the same node, where if the client had possibly had to fit into the correct template (memory + cpu), they may have had a more reasonable memory allocation and not had to swap as much or at all.

    There are providers out there though which do provide the ability to choose your resources similar to what you're spelling out, however, not in as small increments as your wanting. They usually only increment by 1GB of ram and generally tie resources together -- as in CPU has to scale with memory allocation. Most are not going to let you purchase say a 1 CPU core with 10GB of ram or 8 CPU cores with 1GB of ram as this would leave you with random amounts extra / short resources.

    On OpenVZ these pools are more realistic since resources are handled and shared differently and it handles the uneven allocation of resources better than KVM . This is why the 'resource pool' products you see are all OpenVZ or Virtuozzo.

    my 2 cents.

    Cheers!

    We've started offering free DirectAdmin licenses about 20 days ago.

    We moved quickly before having an automatic system in place. We still need to work on the wording a bit :smiley: .

    The simple rule is that we include a free DirectAdmin license for each VPS paid for the full month. And we review this at the end of your billing cycle.

    So if you request a DA license activation and delete your VPS after 2 hours, you'll charge the VPS for the full month when we review your account. That's it.

    If you have a VPS running for the whole month, then it's not really different for monthly fixed package.
