[KTS24.com] 10th anniversary of hosting by Sascha Händler

edited February 2023 in Offers

Meanwhile, Sascha Händler has been offering hosting for everyone under different brands for 10 years. Started on 01.02.2013 I have been available for my customers and especially technicians nearly always 24/7. Even if there were many bad points in this time where I was about to give up, I do not regret it in the least to have endured all this.
So today I am happy to share with you a very special and limited offer.

On our new Ceph SSD Storage we offer the first 20 servers at special conditions.
The system is tested and stable, but so far not scaled very large and fast, but we are working on that. We hope to maintain our excellent price/performance ratio in the future and to expand the available functionality of our KVM servers in the long run with ceph as backend of our storage.

10 year special Offer:
4 vCores Intel Xeon 2660v2
8 GB DDR3
160 GB SSD
Permanent only 6,99 € 5,99 € per month!

https://www.kts24.com/offer/93
(Please note that there are two monthly terms here and only one of them includes the reduced price)

In addition, we have reduced a Ryzen offer for you:

2 vCores Ryzen 3900X
4 GB DDR4
30 GB NVMe SSD
Permanent only 5,49 € per month

https://www.kts24.com/offer/33
Please note that here also the period must be changed to get the again reduced price.

Due to loyal customers who continued to use our services even in difficult times, it was possible for me, as a really bad salesman, to already follow my dream for so long.

    Not fair, I couldn't resist!

    As nice as the offers were, I decided more than a year ago to no longer make such Top-up offers and to keep the prices of our offers as low as possible.

    We will also hardly offer promotional prices, because we would have had to raise our prices further, so that there is still real room for maneuver here. But since I'm basically a friend of equality, I think it's a good and fair approach to offer everyone the same price.

    Although the offer is no longer available, here's a YABS, carried out around 30 minutes ago. (I dropped the network test because several sites -- Clouvider, in particular -- were busy)

    Edit: Wrapped the results in the code environment

    As you can see, the performance of our Ceph cluster has already suffered. In the coming weeks we will double the number of SSDs in the cluster, which will have a positive impact on performance and give us the opportunity to deliver more systems (currently we are actually limited by storage space and storage performance).

    Since the minimum top-up amount for us is 5€, this actually fits quite well with the offers, so that nothing is left over.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    As you can see, the performance of our Ceph cluster has already suffered. In the coming weeks we will double the number of SSDs in the cluster, which will have a positive impact on performance and give us the opportunity to deliver more systems (currently we are actually limited by storage space and storage performance).

    By the way, I did another test around 45 minutes later, and the results are similar:

    You're brave to have ventured into Ceph clusters ;)

    We are now running the Ceph cluster for the 2nd or 3rd year, but I have not yet dared to host customers on it.
    My Plex, for example, has been there since the beginning and has not suffered any data loss, even if it was close once or twice... but you learn best from mistakes ;)

    Since the 7 € offer was removed due to a price rule violation I have reduced it again! There seem to be about 11 servers still available, so strike fast!

    4 vCores
    8 GB DDR3
    160 GB SSD
    for 5,99 € per month!

    pls someone post Yabs of this thanks

    Although the offer is no longer available, here's a YABS, carried out around 30 minutes ago. (I dropped the network test because several sites -- Clouvider, in particular -- were busy)

    Edit: Wrapped the results in the code environment

    I hope this is the beginning for the move to Ceph based storage systems :)
    Someone has to be the first customer, but after years of testing, making mistakes and learning, I'm optimistic that nothing will go wrong.

    In terms of performance, we don't expect Ceph to beat local storage anytime soon, but that's not the plan.

    Because it might be interesting, here are the advantages I see:
    - Individual customers can no longer claim 100% of the storage performance.
    - If a host system fails, the VMs can be transferred to other host systems at short notice.
    - The failure of a Ceph host system has no impact on the operation.
    - Since different VM nodes access the same storage pool, storage space can be used more efficiently.
    - The failure of a hard disk / SSD has no impact on performance.
    - In the future we can also offer High available VMs

    I would also love if you guys would share your experiences, thoughts, advantages and disadvantages about Ceph :)

    Back to the 10th anniversary special: if we compare the two disk speed tests from my two YABS results (separated by an interval of 45 minutes), the second one seems to be significantly better, except for 64k block sizes. Consider:

    For comparison with the YABS above, below is a fresh YABS on a (smaller) VPS that I have with you (since BF 2020)

    Note that the disk speed tests are significantly better on this (smaller) VPS than they are on the one above

     ./yabs.sh -i -9

    In terms of performance, we don't expect Ceph to beat local storage anytime soon, but that's not the plan.

    Because it might be interesting, here are the advantages I see:
    - Individual customers can no longer claim 100% of the storage performance.
    - If a host system fails, the VMs can be transferred to other host systems at short notice.
    - The failure of a Ceph host system has no impact on the operation.
    - Since different VM nodes access the same storage pool, storage space can be used more efficiently.
    - The failure of a hard disk / SSD has no impact on performance.
    - In the future we can also offer High available VMs

    I would also love if you guys would share your experiences, thoughts, advantages and disadvantages about Ceph :)

    I agree that Ceph has many advantages :)

    I just recall that back in 2017 on OGF, there was a provider ZxHost who suffered a Ceph disaster and this was the end of them. If you search for "Ceph disaster" on OGF, you can read about it (especially the drama part), but I don't think that it was ever very clear what exactly went wrong

    I suspect that you guys know better what you're doing, :) plus Ceph has also improved a lot since 2017 (from what I understand)

    is this again a promotion, where u have to deposit more then the offer costs and customers money is stuck with you ?

    Since the minimum top-up amount for us is 5€, this actually fits quite well with the offers, so that nothing is left over.

    Ok
