    Which location would you choose?

    I'd dare say that it greatly depends on the blend of the network. For example, some providers don't have fiber that goes all the way through the continuous United States. Some stop right at the major exchange regions like New York, Atlanta, or Los Angeles. I'd highly recommend nearly anything...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    I should reiterate that the deals I posted above are largely promotional and are not our permanent view for the company. They are designed both to get some of our leftover Intel Xeon E3-1230v2s into production (As we begin attempting to switch fully to Haswell-based machines.), as well as to get...

    Because we have mid-to-high range plans in store too.

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Well, I mean, I could say "Yeah, pick us because we'll be offering KVM VPS hosting with good hardware at low prices." - I wouldn't be lying, but what company HASN'T said that? I completely agree with you that it's difficult to create a unique host. It's quite true indeed. It's because of this...

    HostVenom LLC - E3 $50 First Month - Dual E5

    Many posts in this area don't originally include that information, yet you single out certain ones. I am confused.

    Seagate introduces radical new product, sounds delicious

    Never really had too many issues with my Seagate drives. Knock on wood. Nonetheless, hard drives are very much so a hit-and-miss subject. Anything from a rough ride in shipping to higher usage than they're designed for can and will contribute. Sent from my BNTV400 using Tapatalk

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    I'm an honest guy, drmike. I'm only interested in operating a legitimate business that our customers can trust and rely on. Furthermore, as a branch of a respected small-mid sized dedicated server company, it's in our best interest to keep a good public (and private for that matter) image.

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Is it not difficult to create a unique hosting service this late in the game? I mean, really, I could (in theory) try to copy DigitalOcean, but that's been done dozens of times as well. I could try to offer the cheapest VPSs on the market, but I'd rather maintain a sustainable business. The...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    We will most certainly offer SSD-Cached services on the Dual E5 nodes. More or less, the E3 HDD nodes will have less VPSs on them on average, and the E3 HDD is designed primarily for storage, or simply lower-I/O applications that don't need as much space. There will be no price difference...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    We are planning on offering Dual E5s at a later date. Yet again, I remind everybody that this is a branch of an existing Dedicated Server provider. To save on hardware costs, we order in mass anyway, so spare parts are never an issue.

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Hey everyone, Thanks again for your input. We're currently arriving at the point at which we can begin to release some more information about our services and plans. Here's the basics of the hardware we will be running for our E3 VPS services: Supermicro 1U Chassis (A+B Redundant Power) Intel...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    I completely agree with you. It's not like we're going to expand to become a global provider overnight. While a single location might limit our market somewhat, we're placed in downtown Chicago and offer excellent connectivity to much of the U.S. and Canada. Beyond that, if it's the...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Hi @drmike Thanks for your opinion. If you did not read my earlier replies, we will be offering both OpenVZ and KVM services. I am planning on offering both E3 SSD-Based services, as well as Dual E5 SSD-Cached services. Either way, however, I refuse to oversell in terms of RAM, SSD Space, CPU...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Thanks you all again for your input. I want to address some additional concerns. I am not the only one working on this project. We've already got two very talented systems administrators for both ends of the deal, as VPSs are not the only thing we will be doing. We've got one that mainly...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Hi MannDude, Thank you much for your reply. please allow me to clarify a few points. 1. The DDoS Protection is a default feature of our network at this point. We have reached a deal with GigeNET to be able to offer this protection network-wide. With this deal, it also doesn't add any cost to...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Hi everybody. My name is Wyatt, aka OSTKCabal here on the Internets. I'll start this post by asking you to understand that I am a relatively new contender here on the good ol' VPSBoard, as well as the VPS hosting industry in general. I am also 17 years old (Nearly 18. Aren't you proud?) - I ask...
