[VPSDime Birthday Special] - 512MB RAM - 7GB SSD - 2TB Traffic for $7/year
Today, it's been 365 days since VPSDime started its journey. VPSDime's foundation was laid on Low End Talk soil. Fellow members made this brand what it is today. All your patronage is sincerely appreciated.
To give back to the community and celebrate our birthday, we have decided to deploy some E3 nodes in our flagship datacenter provider, Incero in Dallas, TX and make a crazy sale.
We love you guys!
The Plan Specs:
OpenVZ Container Virtualization 1 vCPU (E3 1230v2) 512MB Memory 256MB vSwap 7GB Pure SSD Space (RAID1) 1 IP Address (IPv6 to be added this week) 2TB Traffic 1Gbit Port speed
The Order Link

I don't need another box, y u do dis
U WOT M8
HOW
IS
THIS
SUSTAINABLE?!
Let me worry about that
I'm so so tempted, but I just bought a box from drserver with 250GB HDD for $15 a year and now I only have $5 left in my PayPal
I'm guessing this is OpenVZ?
Yes, sorry, forgot to mention it. Added to the post now.
Huh?
Wow, I see an ETA on ipv6.
How many will one get?
7$ A YEAR YOU SAY?
Dallas, TX YOU SAY?
OMGAWD! Buying dis now!
Very nice, just picked one up
Special offer from: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/33987/any-provider-that-can-beat-or-have-a-package-similar-to-rn-s-80gb-for-15-a-year
Anyway, bought one from @serverian (thanks!) and the IO sits at 400 MB/s with these flags:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
Memory used for the minimal template OOTB is refreshingly low:
Partition layout on Debian 7 minimal:
Speedtest:
CPU shows as being:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz
Personally, this is my third service with just the VPSDime brand, and it's always rock solid. They just need to implement hourly billing so that I can destroy and create instances (which I do manually by buying one for a month then cancelling, annoying Oktay).
EDIT: Wait a second... :O
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VPSDIME
Edit: These benchmarks were done while @serverian made an error with provisioning giving away a lot more resources, the revised ones are below.
However, the network tests above are still correct.
?Do you allow btsync / owncloud usage?
We do.
Awesome, purchasing now... Happy BDAY!!!
Well, happy birthday then!
I remember testing out one of the 6GB VPSes pre-launch, can't believe its been a year.
Congrats @serverian.
I don't know WHY... But I bought one!
Awesome, Happy 365 Days
My thoughts too, what the?
Got one, took me a while to make sense of the graphs. :P
Take it dude, just take it. I'm not complaining at all
Will make an awesome addition to the tinc network for my major project!
Hell yeah! Not complaining at all.
Guys, I'm sorry. I've made a mistake on the plan selection on WHMCS. So some of you got our VD6GB plan instead. I've fixed these. Sorry for the heart attack
Awh, damn. Fun's over guys!
And the partition layout:
IOPing test:
CPU test using md5sum:
Well, Oktay JUST found out.
Got one, not sure for what purpose yet, need project ideas now.
So that means I've been a paying VPSDime customer for a year? Why not add another box..
Offloaded SQL available?
Offloaded SQL is not available for these plans unfortunately since the servers are on a different VLAN.
Doesn't seem to be available for me with just these on my account, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it if you already have it on your account.
EDIT:
Ah ok, ordered anyways. Any plans for Offloaded SQL and/or Backups in Seattle?
