Hi @AnthonySmith - could you allocate a /64 IPv6 with the additional IPv4 (effectively the VPS will have 2 x IPv4 and 2 x /64 IPv6)?

I can, curious as to the use case but I certainly don't mind doing that.

cybertech · January 2020

Seems like nested virt can effectively split 1 VPS into 2?

nullnothere · January 2020

@AnthonySmith said: I can, curious as to the use case but I certainly don't mind doing that.

It seems that in general, anything bad at the IPv6 level will pretty much effect the entire /64. So it's nice to have an extra /64 to avoid headaches and keep everything separate ala IPv4.

@cybertech said: Seems like nested virt can effectively split 1 VPS into 2?

I guess this could be a use case but I didn't really think of this at all. Depending on the RAM, this could also help but realistically a /80 or something like that could get equivalent functionality.

vpsgeek · January 2020

I have been in LE world since 2014 & InceptionHosting is one of the 3 providers who have been consistently top notch as evident from providers polls in the old world. Deals like this from Anthony should not be missed

Looks more like a threat rather than an offer but I do understand most of the above, but CPU is not something we as customers can control, lots of traffic or some malfunction in code can cause it.
Usually I as a customer would expect hosts to throttle it on their side.

if a host doesn't have the infrastructure to throttle it, being specific helps, like,
CPU usage shouldn't be over 90% for more than a minute or something like that.
Avg CPU usage shouldn't cross 50%

If we know the specific thresholds, We as customers can write special programs that monitor such CPU usage and kill/restart programs that go over the specified threshold.

Just venting my frustration because my server has been suspended for silly reasons by some providers just because some bot was trying to brute force SSH login into my VPS which caused a CPU spike on my VPS. I hope you understand the view from our side.

I assure you it is not a threat, it is being very transparent everything there is in the terms that 99/100 people will not read.

It is a self managed service, you actually can control your own CPU use as a customer and you can most certainly monitor it, it is only enforced when it impacts others or when for example you have gone 5 days at 100% of a CPU core, this literally happens multiple times per day so I like to make sure people know this is not just a service that allows abuse, it is a shared resource environment, if you want dedicated CPU that you do not need to care about monitoring then you need a dedicated server not a VPS.

I would say I am very liberal about it but I do expect you as a customer to take some responsibility, in fact I insist that you do

Again, not a threat just not a hidden term.

Had sent the link to a few friends to take advantage of the deal & one of them reported today that it is not working. Has it expired?

Yep sorry was only valid for January

I will put something new out this month when i have had a chance to asses things, lots of changes going on at the moment.

I will take a look towards the middle of the month, lots going on right now with shutting down the old legacy xen service, removing the serversnv brand and UK VZ7 node migrations.

Not so much forgot just still a lot going on.

KVM wise I am pretty much full to the brim so only space at regular prices atm.

As I understand it a tech preview of solus.io is coming very soon and I hope they also announce a target release date (or at least Year+Quarter) so I can start planning around that, seems pointless standing up new hardware right now if big changes are coming.

@debaser said:

Oh boy!

@AnthonySmith

big changes are coming.

Not a popular line on the other site... rather popular for the wrong reasons.

Coming to the topic: fair to say that the coins may stay in the piggy bank till Mid- April?

InceptionHosting · February 2020

@vyas said: Not a popular line on the other site

lol yeah, I should catch myself on before saying that.

@vyas said: fair to say that the coins may stay in the piggy bank till Mid- April?

Yep probably until summer tbh unless the right deal comes along from @funkywizard or @Clouvider that simply cant be turned down, I have some spare NVMe and sata drives at clouvider london so you never know.

I am sorting out big changes this month and early march with the removal of serversnv and the legacy xen stuff which I need to focus on to do it right, then I will take a measure of what I have and what I need, the issue now is that I know everyone leaves it until last minute and I dont want to sell space that those coming from serversnv and xen may need.

It has been a steady stream, a few customers per day, I will send out the final reminder this weekend and then lights go off on the 1st march, I am being pretty strict about it this time, I usually give people an extra 7 days after the deadline, this time its 24 hours as months of notice has been given already with multiple reminders.

Anyway, rambling now but essentially, I expect to stand up new hardware with @clouvider at some point in march, not sure where that will be yet London or Amsterdam and I know IOflood are crunching numbers for me on the possibility of some AMD based servers so it just depends what is most appealing when its time to pull the trigger.

Was going for a KVM for my new project, But you have stopped me.

some point in march

oh, how can I not wait for that? How can we help you to make that "some point" as "first week"?

not sure where that will be yet London or Amsterdam

please be London
