I got a couple of KVM packages from Vapornode. Hivelocity-powered :smiley:

Something free and something paid from Virmach.

I still don’t buy the dedi I wanted. Quadranet is playing hard to get :sweat_smile:

I purchased the $19/month Dual Xeon L5420/16GB RAM/1TB HDD in WV from Dedispec, a free web hosting plan on Netcup, some things on Amazon, and am waiting for delivery of the Kimsufi flash deal.

I’ve not since I was somehow concerned about their “not new” cpus but I should have thought about services being oversold more than just not the latest cpus.
I’ve got myself a virmach ( those non balanced deals of them with 20gb Ssd and 30 gb of ram heh).

Will give it a try in some days :wink:

Yes, that’s a concern but all those cores compensate the power… I think.

Someone once told me to “calm down my tits” so that’s what I will do since most guys from cough other forum must be hammering the nodes with benchmarks.

If possible tell us how good your Vapor node box was :slight_smile:

Anyone using NVMe servers from HostHatch? I’m thiking on getting the 6GB package but not sure if it’s a good idea for a production server.

All i’ve heard was they did quite good . But when it comes to a prod server :man_shrugging: idk

Wish I could help. Have a storage server with them, and I’ve been very happy with it. Was considering bumping to the 2.5TB version and maybe getting a NVMe server (or from Inception Hosting).

Haven’t been able to decide.

I have a storage server in AMS from BF2017 and just took the plunge on the 2.5TB plan this year. Their service has been solid so far.

I’ve used both storage and NVMe servers from Hosthatch the last year. Solid service and server feels snappy.
Let me know if you want me to do any benchmarks. See bench.sh below.

Support is kind of slow, but that’s probably because I only have Black friday/promotion servers (which stated somewhere to not be prioritized). Never had any real problems though, so no problem waiting for an answer.

Benchmark from a NVMe Stockholm server bought last BF. Mainly used for VPN.

I have a storage server with them since 01/18. It has been excellent so far.

It looks like I will get the server then.

Would you run Geekbench, please? I’d like to compare it with a server I have.

Virmach indeed. Honestly I think I am to be blamed . The guy that is in charge of Virmach sales tempted me despite I knew it wont be as good as I would have expected :stuck_out_tongue:

I just wanted something a bit cheaper than netcup ( which has been superb ) and I assume full “blame” .
