    It seems you are calling all the providers with 800MB/s I/O speed "Very good and fast" so you are going off I/O speed for how fast/good they are?

    i think you all ready know ramnode are no 1 for lower end vps for now, i provide all the info u can check it, not very fast mean are not bad at all but when i compare to all my provider that what i get

  • @mentari
    What mean high I/O speed for you?

    Well, I don't much understand about linux command, but dd test is only describe sequential read/write test. Are you proud having vps with high sequential read/write only?

    I only prefer vps with good random read/write speed, good ioping rather then vps with high sequential read/write only.

    And I have small dedicated server with single hdd only, I/O speed is not as good as you have, only ~ 120 MB/s but I can "abuse hdd I/O for 24x7" on my dedicated server...

    And I'm sure you can not do on your VPS :D

    add price and plan

  • @mentari said:
    They announce free upgrade base resources and until now my vps not receive yet(almost 1month from their announcement)

    The upgrade is free, you do not lose any service time by waiting for the upgrade, even if your service is upgraded 3 months after the announcement (Which is shouldn't take that long), you still lose nothing in this case as you still have access to the original resources you paid for aside from the free ones that we are giving clients.

  • @Jack said:
    123Systems What DC do you use these days?

    LSN. We will have been with them for three years in October.

    123Systems Oh I thought you'd moved from them.

    LSN has been solid. I see no reason to phase them out when they offer a pretty stellar product. Although not as cheap as what you can get in Dallas, you get everything you pay for with them though.

    i know it free but for me better you not make a announcement for that, same plan now you offer for usd 10/year

    Submit a ticket and upgrade the plan if it's a lower price. We'll be stopping OVZ sales pretty soon and focusing on XEN/KVM, the OVZ sales now are just left over space. We do not intend to provision any further OVZ nodes until Q2 or Q3 of 2014.

    i already sent it before this,that why i write bad support for 123system

    Did you submit a ticket about an upgrade to another plan or did you submit a ticket about the free base resource upgrade? If you submitted a ticket about upgrading to another plan entirely then it would have been done, if you submitted a ticket about the free base resource upgrade announcement then you would have probably been told that it will be done at some point. You would not have received the free base resource upgrade by submitting a ticket as we are not accepting ticket applications for it. It is being done in order based on the service order date, you'll just have to wait for your turn like everyone else.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the review, just to add, that the node where all the yearly LA unmetered plans go is in for a upgrade hopefully pretty soon, we've been planning it for a while now, but need to get it done, as the network's pretty good (for a 100 Mbit/sec connection) but disk IO seems to be swinging a lot. As this is what I'm getting currently,

    [root@node5 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync; unlink test
    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 9.63824 s, 111 MB/s
    



    About the network disconnects you seem to be having, can you put in a ticket with a traceroute to the server or better a MTR report ? See here -> http://wiki.crowncloud.net/doku.php/debugging_network_issues

    You have stopped to provide the affiliate program commissions to the account credit?
    I'm interested why.
    The affiliate program is still advertised on your website.
