Two really nice Linveo Texas Intel VPSes -- free transfer to LES friends!

Not_Oles

Guys!

I have two really nice Intel VPSes from Linveo. I don't need them any more since I rented a dedicated server.

One expires on August 22, 2026 and the other expires on August 27, 2026.

Specs (if I remember right), 2 VPSes, each with:

• Intel Xeon CPU E5-2690 v4
• 4 Cores
• 8192 MB RAM
• 50 GB NVMe SSD
• 1 x IPv4
• 1 x IPv6/64
• 8 TB Bandwidth
• Texas
• $4.07/month

I was using one of these to compile FreeBSD every few days and the other to compile OpenBSD.

It would be REALLY hard to find a nicer provider than Linveo! Kind, fast, friendly, inexpensive! Highly recommended!

Transfer is free for ORL friends.

I'm hoping that anyone who takes one of these excellent VPSes will talk with Linveo about continuing as their customer. Meanwhile, I am happy to install an OS and give you access.

Linveo has approved my transferring these two VPSes.

Best wishes!

Tom

I think the CPU is Gold 6140.. Both my VPS in 2 locations have this CPU. Its a great VPS for sure!

Hi @bugabuga!

Thanks for helping!

I took the CPU off the Control Panel:

Reinstalling both of the VPSes with the Linveo control panel's Debian 13 and running dmesg say, resopectively:

root@vps3:~# dmesg | grep Xeon
[    0.623716] smpboot: CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x4f, stepping: 0x1)
root@vps3:~# 

root@was-freebsd-now-debian:~# dmesg | grep Xeon
[    0.714375] smpboot: CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x4f, stepping: 0x1)
root@was-freebsd-now-debian:~# 

Running cat /proc/cpuinfo or lscpu also gives:

root@vps3:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Xeon
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
root@vps3:~# 

root@was-freebsd-now-debian:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Xeon
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz

As a Clueless™ person, I can say that what is shown on the Control Panel and inside a running KVM VPS possibly might not correspond to the actual hardware on which the KVM hypervisor is running.

Linveo has been nothing but nice to me, and I really enjoy their VPSes! These two VPSes are still available, free for ORL friends.

Oh Texas, I like Texas.

Hi @imok! Friendly greetings from Sonora and New York City!

bugabuga

Ah, different node different HW I guess. The Xeon is still a very capable CPU with a passmark of 19163..

Not_Oles

Hi @bugabuga! They worked great for me, compiling entire operating systems in a few hours every few days! Thanks again for helping!

Not_Oles

I went to look up the Geekbench scores:

Seems that Geekbench thinks these VPSes are running Qemu standard processor i440FX architecture.

They're nice VPSes! Best wishes!
