256MB KVM

[Chatahooch]

If it is a developer project I have no issues at all with setting you up a KVM for free as long as it is actively being used.

Thanks for the generous offer but its not a development project per see. Its an experimentation with linux distributed configuration management

Do you have a target budget with this, or did I miss that?

Hi Asim,

I can offer you a custom VPS package, based on KVM and engine OnApp.

- 256 GB RAM

- 10 GB SSD cached storage

- 500 GB traffic

- 1 IPv4

- IPv6 on request

€ 30,- year excl. VAT (non EU = no vat)

Payment using Paypal or BitPay.

Sadly on this moment we don't cover ISO install's, but we have a big template selection available.

https://kihihosting.com may be worth a look.

- Canada

- KVM

- 512MB RAM for $2/month

- CC / Stripe payment

Not SSD. For typical web/mail applications disk IO is fine, but you may find it slow if you have high IO needs.

I have one, quite satisfied. Template installs, but he'll mount an ISO on request.

@sleddog Can you post your IO speeds for Kihi? I find it strange they are putting new clients on an overloaded node if other nodes are running fine.


My results:


IO Writes are 17-18MB/s.


IOs Per Second are 29-130 IOPS.


IO Reads are 76-89MB/s


Their response:


Unfortunately the node that you are on is overloaded at the moment and we cannot make any changes it to it until we start moving customers. We have actually installed an SSD-Cached node recently and shall be introducing it to new customers.


Might want to hold off on Kihi until they release their new node. Other than that, looks very promising.

Wow, kudos for honesty!

Looks like they are tryiing to earn customers for the long term.

 

[KuJoe]

@tonyg Yeah, I'm glad they didn't try to BS me or I would have canceled already. They offered to migrate me for free when the new node is online so now I play the waiting game.

How did you test? (so I can do the same for comparison purposes).

 

[KuJoe]

dd, ioping, and hdparm -t

 

[tonyg]

dd, ioping, and hdparm -t

I'm pretty sure he meant the exact commands used.

 

[KuJoe]

Oh.

dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

ioping -c4 /

hdparm -t /dev/vda1

 

[sleddog]

Oh.

ioping -c4 /

hdparm -t /dev/vda1

Thank you so much everyone for your recommendations, I went with @KuJoe in US and @notFound in UK

You should have a look at httpzoom.com, KVM plans start from as little as $3.85. not ssds though.
