Hi,
We are planning to maybe start offering (LEB class) Atom dedicateds some time in the not so distant future, so i am seeking some feedback about what features / configs, etc. the potential users (i.e. some of you) might want to see.
THIS IS NOT AN OFFER. YOU CANN ORDER THIS FOR NOW.
Here is the URL for the plan - https://www.fitvps.com/members/cart.php?a=add&pid=19
I repeat: PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THIS. We cannot provide it for now. It is planned for sometime in the future.
The pricing is not final yet, but roughly calculating the costs - it will be probably close to what you see in that link.
I know that we will knot takeover the world (or the hosting market) and this is not our intention or desire :) Yes, we know Kimsufis are cheaper. Everyone who wants a Kimsufi probably already has one or can order one.
Here are some of the questions that might arise, i will try to answer them before they are asked:
Q: Possible two HDDs?
A: Not for now (can't fit two 3.5" HDDs in the case and i don't like laptop HDDs)
Q: Bandwidth is expensive?
A: That's what it costs here ($3000 for full gigabit is a lowish price for bandwidth here)
Q: How is installation done?
A: Automated, user can reinstall from client area. Remote reboot will be available - can power off/on/restart the server whenever you want.
Q: What OSes?
A: Linux, FreeBSD (we have to test all the options yet and determine which work well and which don't)
Q: Windows?
A: No
Q: Why need to ticket for IPv6?
A: I don't want the installer to try to install over ipv6 and cause breakage. IPv6 can be added after you are finished with the installation.
So, any other questions or concerns that might arise? Suggestions for more options or addons? All feedback is welcome.
