Frequently Asked Questions

What payment methods do you support?
You can pay via Credit Card, BanContact, EPS, giropay, iDeal and Paypal. If none of these payment methods is applicable to you, open a support ticket to pay via SEPA wire transfer.

How long until my virtual server is ready to use?
Provisioning of new virtual servers is fully automated and takes about 5 minutes. As soon as your payment is received, the setup process is immediatley launched for the operating system you selected during checkout. (Provided that our system didn't flag you for manual review.)

What kinds of usages are accepted?
In short: keep it legit and don't abuse the provided resources. No email spam, no file sharing, no Tor nodes, no Torrent and nothing that will max out the shared resources 24/7 (= no crypto currency miners, please). For a more detailed list, see the “Accepted Usage Policy” section of our Terms of Service.

What operating systems are supported?
You can either pick from the latest CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu releases pre-installed on your virtual server; or you can upload any ISO and install whatever operating system you would like to use instead.

What level of support is provided?
These are unmanaged virtual server offers, so you are expected to install and configure the server yourself. You get root access to the virtual server and a Linux distribution pre-installed, but you will have to setup any software according to your requirements.

Can I have a benchmark?
Yes, of course; this is LES after all.

Here is a YABS of the Virtual Server S:

Let's talk about RYZEN

Hxxx — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 18:34:25 +0000

I was at the ol' neighborhood (the other green forum), thinking about creating this thread but figured it would be better to post this here since I believe most users around this part are providers or people with high level of knowledge in the tech industry. /Compliment

Looking at the market its clear to me that Ryzen has taken over the server industry. I was looking at Ryzen, Threadripper, EPYC and ...

I was also wondering how a Desktop / consumer rated CPU ended up being used officially as server grade CPU by all kind of providers (from low end to high end providers, to datacenters Hetzner , etc.)?

There has always been the equivalent Intel desktop CPU consumer that outperforms the Server grade CPU , but the industry refrained from using those desktop CPU on Server environments. But for Ryzen this is no longer the case.

I get it, Ryzen performance seems to be superior to the equivalent server grade EPYC and budget wise it makes sense. But is it justifiable? What about manufacturer support on such environment? What about server grade mobos (there is probably just one? Asrock) ?

What are the possible drawbacks? Have you experienced any issues with them? What's up with the hype?

I was reading at this TR vs EPYC comparison (by the way pretty amazing comparison and details) at this link:

https://sviko.com/t/threadripper-vs-epyc-comparison-of-three-32-core-amd-processors-in-server-applications/131

From my end I've been using some providers with Ryzen (VPS), no complain, works as good as any other CPU, at least for my kind of usage (web servers, DB).

Let's have a smart conversation. Take a cup of coffee or tea, join the arena.

Oracle 2x Free 1GB VPS (EPYC) + Free Oracle DB

g4m3r — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 11:04:01 +0000

For all of you who don't know that oracle offers 2 VPS with 1GB RAM (yes with IPv4) for free for life.

Also check out their free databases, they are fast as hell (even Amazon is using those, because their own solution is to slow, lol).

Don't forget to change your standard search engine to ecosia.org to help planting some trees.

Would you pay more for EPYC cloud servers?

SpryServers_Tab — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 19:47:59 +0000

Hey guys. Right now our KVM VPS are all Intel E5-26xx on SolusVM. We have some EPYC, but use them internally with Proxmox, as we need the advanced networking capabilities Proxmox provides. We'd love to be able to offer users EPYC VPS, but I'm not sure how I feel about doing this via Proxmox. I would be willing to convert them to Solus.io once it's stable, since it offers much more network flexibility. I'd probably offer local and network storage options.

As Solus.io is much more expensive than SolusVM, and each 32 core epyc CPU would cost us over $150/mo for licensing, we'd definitely need to charge more per VM.

How many people here would be willing to pay more for this, and how much per VPS/core more would you be willing to pay?
