Hello LET !
In the process of learning at Prometeus, Uncle gave me a few toys and said to make something of them.
I saw there is a need of storage plans and our customers are not very happy with the disk space we provide (good quality but expensive storage) I came up with the idea to offer versatile storage plans, very cheap for our customers.
Since half of LET already have a plan with us and they are also technologically inclined ppl, i post here this BETA free (for now) ride on our storage plan. please be gentle, this is my first project completed more or less alone, so might have made some errors :)
The bad news first:
1. It has no redundancy (no raid, nor backups, if a disk bombs, we will replace it, but not the data)
2. The CPU is small but you get a core and for a storage plan should suffice unless you plan to compress stuff there (will work but slow)
3. There is only IPv6 connectivity, but, for our customers that means nothing since all plans have IPv6. That doesnt mean will work only inside our DC, of course, but the backups from inside will go faster.
The good news is mainly that the virtualization is Xen-PV with pygrub, which basically means you can run everything there since you can use own kernel as long as you compile it for Xen DomU and, as such, you can use anything that fits the specs (I saw few ppl offering this and i felt the need in the past for more options such as iSCSI or NFS targets that OVZ cannot offer) .
Storage is guaranteed, you get exactly that amount and you have the option of making a real swap partition too.
This plan has 100 GB storage, 400 GB traffic, 1 IPv6, one Atom D525 core, 100 mbps shared port. Will probably be offered for some 2 Eur a month, so expect them to go fast (beta testers will have priority).
If there is a very serious demand (ie ppl screaming here everyday they want more), we will put bigger servers with bigger disks and also offer storage-less plans with IPv6 only for irc/VPN for 50 cents on the same Xen technology.
The panel is cloudmin which offers more options than Solus and we only offer the resources with the login, ppl will create themselves the VPS following my tutorial here:http://board.prometeus.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=895&sid=06a9c02954b96f88da53b2d5d519052b
The usual disclaimer:
This is a beta test. Will last until we are satisfied with the results and ready to go into production, do not store anything important there.
This plan is also not intended for anything else than storage (but VPN accepted) so you should not run anything that causes load on the storage or CPU, especially torrents. If you wish to do something you think it is ok, ask first.
Enrollment: PM me here with your customer ID or open a ticket logged into WHMCS.
This is totally free and carries the benefit of a reserved slot when will be launched for real.
