  • Bandwidth/data limits?

    Anyone have experience with these guys?

    • Bandwidth is 175GB and 300GB as per the listing. We've posted here before and have a larger presence in the USA. Let us know if you have any questions!

      • Sorry, I see it now. I must have had a man look.

  • How come I click on the order now and it says $6.30 / month?

    • GST is applied at the end on checkout.

      • I'm getting $6.30 too. Shouldn't it be $5.00 inc GST as per your deal???

        • I've updated the post. It should be $7 all up as per the title.

  • Do you have any issue if I hog 100%CPU at all time ?
    How do you determine if I am an Australian customer ?
    Any limitation on number of packets / second ?

    • CPU is fair share. IF you need 100% dedicated CPU use 24/7, it's best to get a dedicated server. We do have amazing offers for those too. No particular limits on packets / second. Just the bandwidth limits.

      You are an Australian customer if you are residing in Australia.

      • Any speed test page ?

        • Please contact us @ https://www.cloudshards.com/contact.php and submit a sales ticket. We'll further assist you for your custom requirements.

          We do have a speed test page.

        • @concerto49:

          Do you have something to hide ? Why can't you just listed here ?
          Vultr listed theirs https://www.vultr.com/faq/#downloadspeedtests

        • @pig:

          Nothing to hide. We're updating the website with Sydney details soon. It'll all come together. As it's a new location we're still working very hard on improving it - network included.

        • @concerto49:

          You either lied or you don't know , but you already have speed test server :

          http://syd.lg.cloudshards.net/

        • @pig:

          As explained we do - the speed test server is available. We're just trying to better integrate it with the website changes. We're also making some major improvements on the network as we go (as this is a new location), so we're keeping this out of our website for now.

          Hope you understand!

      It's OpenVZ. So the server will literally kill processes that consume too much memory or CPU (it's not true virtualisation).

      • We will be offering KVM in the near future. Currently just OpenVZ and dedicated servers. Using too much memory or CPU itself won't kill any processes. This only happens when hosts completely oversell capacity - which we don't do. However as systems are fair share continuous usage of CPU over limits may result in suspension (if it causes problems for others). Memory usage is fine.

  • Is there any chance of getting a full /64 IPv6 subnet on a VPS? Or at least a block bigger than a /112? IIRC from the last time I tried, OpenVPN doesn't particularly like anything smaller, so with individual addresses it becomes necessary to resort to a private /64 and NAT, which is rather ugly.

    It's not like there's any shortage of IPv6 addresses - heck, Internode is handing out /56 prefixes to residential customers! And there's still ten million times more of those than all living people.

    • Hi, no we can offer it dedicated servers - contact us via a sales ticket! At this point we're not handing out a /64 per VPS for now.

  • Do you offer a web based firewall?

    • VPS is self-managed with no firewalls options provided at the switch level. You are free to add firewall rules to the VPS. No web based options provided by us.
