Yesterday BlueVM opened a 1 USD/month VPS (use discount code: NEWCP, the first one on the official website with the original price of 2.5, it is available from time to time, you can check it out if you want), based on the OpenVZ architecture, use I created a new panel Feathur. The data center is in New York. Although I wrote one in the background, my habit troubled me: when I was writing, there were 18 of them. Out of Stock at night, and I wrote them all in vain. delete. However, someone at LET released this panel, and it feels good. Therefore, in today’s article I will write about these recent miscellaneous things.
Keywords: BlueVM's new panelFeathur, Bandwagonhost's management panel KiwiVM, DS will be fully converted to SSD disk...
The $1 VPS released by BlueVM this time should be hoped that users will do some testing on this panel, and all users will also upgrade to this panel in the future. Let’s first look at a screenshot of LET users:
This panel looks pretty good and has comprehensive functions. Comparing our previous old panel, the old panel looks similar to kloxo.
Last month BlueVM sent an email notification that all new panels will be used this month. BlueVM has attracted more attention, mainly because of its price. Although the customer service support is not fast, they are the most responsive when it comes to changing nodes. It is more suitable for tossing, and the boss also likes to toss. He is more interested in migrating data centers and replacing panels. People with skills can't afford to hurt it.
Next, take a look at the $10-a-year VPS of Bandwagonhost that we shared yesterday. The panel of this company is also quite strange. It is not the common SolusVM or the like, but KiwiVM. Very, very concise, let’s just look at the pictures:
At the request of enthusiastic readers, some sensitive information has been withheld. As you can see, the panel above is really simple, but it is indeed quite convenient. For example, if you want to change the SSH port, you can modify it directly here. Other commonly used functions, such as changing the root password, reinstalling the operating system, rDNS settings and the usage of various resources can be clearly seen.
DirectSpace (hereinafter referred to as DS) released an email early this morning Beijing time, mainly saying a few things: The first is that DS will remove all current HDD disks, and all old users will be seamlessly migrated to SSD disks. The nodes are said to have no downtime. We will look at the specific time. It is expected to start next week. In the future, they will not sell VPS without HDD disks, all of them will be SSD! The second is to recruit people. I said that I will respond to work orders quickly in the future, but it is nonsense no matter how many people I recruit without permission. I have submitted some work orders in the past, and although there was customer service to reply, in the end it was always Edward. To solve the problem; the other is that they are also working on the KVM architecture. The same VPS supporting Linux or Windows will be implemented as soon as possible.
Attached is the original text of the DS email. Some friends seem to have not received it? Title: All Customers Being Upgraded To SSD!
To all of our current and future customers. We're excited to announce that we'll be launching our ALL NEW SSD VPS nodes within the next month. All current customers will be transferred over at no extra cost, and there will be no expected downtime. New customers will come to expect the same low cost pricing that we've provided over the last few years but now with SSD enabled nodes.
Node hardware
2x Xeon E5-2630L Processors
128GB RAM
ALL SSD (DC Edition) RAID-10
10GB Redundant Uplinks
The above setup will provide a much better environment for our customers including improved uptime/network speeds, and blazing fast read/ write speeds at over 300MB/s.
Process of virtual server migration.1.New nodes will be arriving this upcoming week and will be integrated into our setup.
2.Customers will be migrated on a node basis. This means that we will completely migrate customers one node at a time to ensure all goes smoothly.
3.An email will be sent out when customer’s VPS has been migrated to a new SSD node.
What’s changing?To begin, all of our current nodes will be decommissioned. In terms of performance, we've utilized all that we can out of them considering their RE4 hard drives are mechanically limited to read/write. The SSD setup will bring in a much more stable and faster environment.
Our support will also get a boost. We’ve hired new techs to work around the clock in providing support to customers. We’re hoping to get back to our 10-minute SLA very soon.
We’re also expanding our Windows/Linux offerings to KVM. Now you’ll be able to get dedicated resources with the KVM based hypervisor with the ability to install either Windows or Linux within the same VPS.
As always, we’re dedicated to providing our customers with a better experience. Please feel free to contact us with any ideas or thoughts on how we might make this experience a better one.
Regards
DSN Team
