What services are running?
No tickets needed.
Overall experience:
I am enjoying my vps.
Instant deployment, fast CPU and I/O.
If I had to say something bad about this location ...
Nope, there is nothing bad about this new location of Secure Dragon.
Uptime:
Uptime of the vps itself is 100%
There where two minor network blips - so 3 minutes without network for a whole month.
I will refresh the uptime report every two months.
