    What have you done, promoting your new competition?

    @serverian why do your signature say that you "only" have 8 location on Backupsy when I can see 9 on your list on your site? Removed one, or added one without updating your signature?

    How apt that you ask in this thread.
    Maybe because unlike some other companies, he likes to underpromise and overdeliver? :D

    I don't think you have anything to worry. Call me crazy, but 'backup' on cloud instance that's one click away from being deleted always wigs me out. At least AWS S3 won't let you do it from the control panel unless the bucket is empty.

    I am wondering if possible they open SG node to compete DO.

    It's not on their current list, I hope they gets the locations on their list online before they adds more locations "currently out of stock".

    Don't know how this can not count up to 9?

    Ah right. Buffalo is discontinued in favor of NYC.

  • smile93smile93 Member

    is New York, NY (1), = Buffalo, NY (5)?

    New York, NY refers to New York City in the state of New York.

    Any competition is good for all both for customers and companies.

    I'm DO customer and not happy at all, well even when they provide free credits when I never asked about. They are really becoming crappier day by day. You'll ask me why ? See DO support response for my server with low I/O and slow network speed ( I/O - 90 MB/s ; Network - 8 MB/s) when it was about ~350 MB/s for I/O and network speed close to 100 MB/s for almost a year.

    Hello --

    We see that this host resides on one of our older nodes in the original ams datacenter. Is it critical that this droplet remain in ams1? Perhaps you might try snapshotting your droplet, and recreating it in our newer facility in ams2.

    Of course, I can get new droplet but what will happen next time ? Stability is not what DO could provide, if abuser/miner will come to the node where you VPS located you'll see what I'm talking about and yes they are not going to take a look at the node to see who is abusing it. That's it.

    OK, maybe remove it from the list then? ;)

    On the other side, has DO just changed their website? Now it's looks nothing like what VULTR tried to copy before they changed their pages...

    I would say that Digital Ocean's page looks way more professional and is cleaner than before. It looks more grown up.

    That's just a new design trend. In 2006, glossy buttons were the way to make it look professional.

    Does anyone actually have a review of vultr? Thinking about getting servers with them but I want a review before I toss a bunch of money at it, and I can't test it due to their 'first payment doubling' thing that I don't want to waste.

  • marcmmarcm Member

    @Void_Whisperer we use them for DNS and I'm happy with the service. I can't wait for them to be available in more locations. The fact that they double your first payment up to $100 is also a big plus.

    Same, wanted to test but the problem arises that you've wasted ~$100 if you stick with them. Would be better to allow up to $100 over several payments, until the promotion is over. Instead I'll just wait for other brave people to be the guinea pigs.

    I took a VPN deployment script to their system recently and worked fine. Left it for a day and nothing weird cropped up. You can dig for benchmarks others have done. Although to be honest, it's too early to ever be sure. The promo is meant for those willing to take the risk or now about choopa in the first place. I'm sure there'll be some teething pains so I wouldn't rely on it for anything critical just yet.

  • Void_WhispererVoid_Whisperer Member

    I tossed $75 in for a total of 150. Lets hope this is worth it.
