IPv6 or IPv4 you chose if you pay taxes! We give you control / Germany or Canada

hosterlabs

Hello LowEndSpiritians !

DON'T PAY TAXES NO MORE! Get rid of that old and expensive IPv4. It is a 50 year old protocol. Since when do we use protocols that are 40 years old obsolete! But it is your choice. We also help you transition to IPv6 by giving you "ipv6 slabs" that run on the background ipv6 only. So you can reverse proxy, NAT services, do as you please! Enjoy

We have came up with offers that go together with each other. Now I will just get straight to it. Read through you might find a surprise if you are fast.

Sorry about that! It was a bug, it seems we had to promo codes with the same name, one expired.

Hmm, that doesn't really compute with the date their provider tag was issued, which was August 2020 according to: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/registered-providers

Please elaborate, @hosterlabs .

hosterlabs

We were running in Mexico under a different fiscal regime.

It’s called persona física con actividad empresarial. As we looked at our tax situation and rates we decided Delaware was best to avoid price hikes! This way we avoided paying IVA ( VAT ) and lots of other taxes not existent in the US. Also , we became from a sole proprietary into a corporation per say.

We decided the us was best because of Mexican red tape and more legal situations.

Mexico is sadly just not competitive under our eyes ( our team ). Everything is crazy expensive and slow. We had been trying for months to change our fiscal regime here from what is called persona física ( sole proprietary) into a persona moral ( corporation ). Also we contacted accountants which were completely lost about our tax situation. They were very confused and said that there are different tax rates for payments in dollars and euros and so on. We had three accountants give up on us! It’s an interesting story I might do a blog post

I think since 2017 or before but it was not as serious. It was just a side project. I only used it to give services to few known people. But we started offering more services and I took it really seriously since April-March 2020

Regarding the contact page, the entire site is undergoing a redesign. We are a bit behind on some pages, sorry for that.

It was a 40% off on the 1$/month vps. Quarterly onwards . So it was more like 0.6$/month

We had two available. It was gone within 10 minutes the first and the second 15 min.

As I can't edit my previous comment:
Do you plan to offer v6 only servers in Germany too?

hosterlabs

Hello Benz,

That is indeed something we plan if our Canadian v6 only nodes are successful and profitable. As of now, we subsidize IPv6 heavily to appeal to the consumer, as you may know, it has a lot of limitations. It might be coming in the next 2-3 months.

Thanks for the explanation and transparency, @hosterlabs . Appreciate it.

Two more remarks;

• Your first welcome email only contains an IPv6 address. The second welcome email contains both IPv4 and IPv6.
• Your SPF record does not exist, causing your emails to end up in SPAM.

Yes we made a mistake in your case, it will be increased again. We mixed up the dates.

Actually, this was terrible advice: After a reboot my server's RAM allocation shrunk from 6 to 4 GB. I don't have a response from their support yet, let's see what they have to say.

Of course.

Was their mistake and got fixed on my VM, as stated above.

What made me rant here in the first place is that they silently changed the specs - that's a no go for me. At least a short notice would have been appreciated.

Hope your box is right again too.

Yes, in my case they said changing the specs would have been part of their troubleshooting and they've forgot to change it back.

Hmm, something seems to be wrong there currently.

Do you happen to have one in Germany too?
Server seems to be pretty loaded, judging based on Geekbench scores compared with the same CPU at another host.
Getting about 850 points single core here, ~1150 with other R5-3600 providers.
CPU steal around 10%.

Nothing I won't expect at the price, just wondering if that's the usual load across nodes.

Hello,

We have an average usage on most nodes at 50-60%. We do have lot's of spikes from people doing benchmarks because they like to measure the servers.

Our CPU's are undersold on most nodes. Germany is another story. I am unsure of average utilization and so on as SolusIO does not provide the stats itself. I would have to look on the monitoring system to check further. But as I have gotten no alert, I guess it is not above 75-80%.

I will attach some pics

Best Regards!

P.D. Servers vary between 24 threads and 16 threads.

hosterlabs

P.D. Permissions error is due to some backup mistake that takes all the space on the web server. Hence the issues, we are actively working to solve them.
