Hello, Can you give one extra ip for free, if paid yearly?
That seems fair, sure. Just open a ticket after signup, and mention this comment.

I have a theory. Based on the performance of my VPS, the text in the OP and the relative position of the sun and pluto, I have concluded that @SmartHost is setting up each VPS on its own dedicated server.
Can I use storage vps as a regular vps?
clairvoyance
Is this CPU model the same in each US data center?
hello @moduw123 - it depends on how you use regular vps ...
if I understand correctly some earlier comments from @SmartHost about cpu usage guidelines - there is some leeway but limits will be determined depending on how your activity impacts other users on the node.
so use your good judgement - consider if there are a dozen people doing the same thing as you ... if you are all (for example) pushing the limits of disk i/o constantly then that could be a problem.
otherwise probably same as "regular vps" - some bursts of high cpu would be fine, but not 100% all day every day ...
Anyway, that's my best guess without knowing more about what your use case might be.
tl;dr: disk i/o is likely to be more limited than with regular vps
For the most part, yes.
We do have some random nodes to offload abusive/heavier users to sometimes.
But for the most part, when we set up new sites, we use the same gear.
Besides, for this deal, we are using an overstock of all the same E5-2670 systems we had available, which is what makes this deal/pricing possible....until they run out.

hey, can I get more space in this offer KVM NVME SSD Budget VPS - FLASH SALE!
I need 200GB+. I don't care if it's HDD
Is there any similar offer in Europe becuase the ping from my location to the test server is 170+
@SmartHost can you do the same flash sale for MA location? No storage. Thnx
This deal is not being offered in MA, only in locations we have overstock on these servers.
Hit us up via email though, and we'll see what we can do to help you out for one though.
.
Thnx. Will email
This offer is not currently available in Europe.
NVME SSD space is available at $4/month per 40GB added.
We don't support adding HDD space to these NVME SSD plans as of yet.

Not quite, but the VPS count per node is rather low.
The resources get allocated on each node quickly with such large plan resources as this deal offers..
.
I'm absolutely over the moon with the performance, it feels like it's an empty node. Perhaps my neighbors are idling?
I have to say, the fact that you're basically one of the first OG hosts offering VPS and your hardware is owned instills in me a real sense of security I can't feel on rented hardware providers. Read into that what you will, but that's my honest opinion :-)
Yeah my SmartHost VPSes are the same way, great performance that feels like a dedi.
Is windows available?
Yes, 2008/2012/2016/2019.
Awesome bro
Windows ISOs are available, but not our templates.
You are responsible for installation and licensing if using the Windows ISOs via this offer.
If you need a licensed Windows VPS, then we do not offer it on this flash sale, and need our Windows KVM VPS service...
.
Any plans to offer windows flash sale anytime soon? Thnx
Probably not, as wouldn't want to have to license these nodes for Windows, and the pricing just doesn't quite work out once you have to pay the overlords for that.

Took 8GB RAM, 80GB NVMe and 8 cores at NY. Benchmark here:
since there is no looking glass, can you ping this IP 170.75.200.14 from NJ ?
or anyone who signed up for a server in NJ?
I like to know the latency before purchase.
Thanks
