  • For what it's worth I'd also love the chance to pay a little more for 10G. It's awesome having that sort of burst.

    Unfortunately I don't even think this would be appealing to you for higher bandwidth amounts. Unless we just do super high prices and then give like 90% off we're stuck at $5.12 per 1TB instead of $2 per 1TB even with 50% off worked in if we want to make it work.

    So your plan is now $75 instead of $65ish or whatever it was previously. Maybe this is the true reason RN doubles bandwidth. /s

    I'll try to think of something.

    It's tough and honestly 2G is probably fine. I just feel bad about using 70% of the whole node's uplink for hours at a time and will happily pay a bit extra to be a slightly better neighbor.

    Oh not sure if you missed it but this is basically a WHMCS/SolusVM module pricing limitation not necessarily that we can't do it. So now I have to think of another tactic like actually doubling bandwidth.

    It's funny, everything I didn't want to do we're getting forced into kind of, which is marking up price and then saying 50% off and then doubling bandwidth but the sad part is it'll lead to more sales.

    Looks awesome, thanks. What's it coded in?

    (edit) all I can think of is that one ticket depending on how WHMCS ends up rounding, "website said $23.13 but I was charged $23.14" also I'm kidding this isn't an actual concern

    • Tooling: Vite
    • Framework: React
    • Typing: TypeScript
    • UI Component: Material UI

    But since it is frontend only, it can be compiled into some form of single file JavaScript bundle (We call it UMD) and be embedded in WHMCS or anywhere of your wish (Of course, I can provide functionality to modify the parameters at your wish)

    With that being said, if you have any preference on the tech stacks (eg. Bootstrap + jQuery + PHP), just let me know, it is not difficult to port them over to others since it is a very simple functionality

  • There are other ways than "custom multiplier".
    FABRIC testbed did this:

    You can request VMs of size up to 64 cores and 384 GB of RAM with a disk size varying from 10GB to 4TB, however there are set increments in which you can request ‘the next size up’ and not all combinations of all possible values of these dimensions are achievable.

    • Cores start at 1, then 2, then in increments of 2 up to 64
    • RAM goes in powers of 2 between 2 and 256 and then goes up to 384GB
    • Disk starts from 10, 100, 500GB, 2TB, 4TB

    All available combinations of these dimensions are defined in approximately 1000 ‘flavors’ inside OpenStack that runs in individual FABRIC sites.
    When you ask for certain number of cores, RAM and disk tries to find the nearest larger flavor than what you are requesting.

    Hence, VirMach can hire an intern to create 1000 different plans…

    We accept Karma donations for the last flan. 🍮 affbrr

  • @FAT32 said: (Of course, I can provide functionality to modify the parameters at your wish)

    Will it be less work if I just give you the sample link with the config ID and where the number would get inserted, or if you added functionality to modify? And yeah javascript would work.

    The most I was even considering for this idea (passed in my head maybe 8 hours ago) is splitting it into two, one low-end and one high-end to get it closer but I'd rather just have bad prices.

  • @VirMach said:
    Will it be less work if I just give you the sample link with the config ID and where the number would get inserted, or if you added functionality to modify? And yeah javascript would work.

    The code is already modular (and relatively simple) enough that you can modify it directly, this is how it is currently structured:

    const CONFIG = {
      cpu: {
        label: 'CPU',
        min: 1,
        max: 6,
        step: 1,
        default: 1,
        cost: 16
      },
      ram: {
        label: 'RAM',
        min: 256,
        max: 8192,
        step: 256,
        units: ['MB', 'GB'],
        default: 1024,
        cost: 0.01
      },
      disk: {
        label: 'NVMe',
        min: 5,
        max: 500,
        step: 1,
        units: ['GB'],
        default: 25,
        cost: 0.02
      },
      bw: {
        label: 'Bandwidth',
        min: 128,
        max: 20480,
        step: 128,
        units: ['GB', 'TB'],
        default: 1024,
        cost: 0.01
      },
      ip: {
        label: 'IP',
        min: 1,
        max: 4,
        step: 1,
        default: 1,
        cost: 16
      }
    };
    

    That said, I think it would be great if you can let me know what will be the flow (eg. what are the interactions that will land into this page, such as embed into the order page in WHMCS). Alternatively, if WHMCS allow adding configoption[*] in the query parameter, then this can be an individual page that just redirect to the order / cart page.

    Here you go

    @FAT32 and if I may request, since BW pricing is forced to be higher if it can go in 0.25TB increment instead with 0.25TB = 256

    256 = 256GB = $2.56 --> $1.28 after 50% off.

  • @FAT32 feel free to be the first person to use it as well, and I'll refund you and change price to $0 recurring for helping out. It's probably worth less than us actually getting someone else to do this but its the least we can do.

  • And anyone who was around who helped with this, if you do make an order, basically order around half the bandwidth you actually need and contact me to double it and it should be around the same price we discussed.

    I'll ignore anyone who wasn't here though unless we decide to create a lot more work for ourselves and double bandwidth, maybe via spins.

    Go wild, go abuse!

    FAT32 gets 32GB of everything... Fuck, there are limits.
    So 8.88$ special with all the 8! Fuck, CPU is at 6!
    6.66$ special? Fuck, IP limit at 4.
    4.44$ special it seems :P

  • Oh no double bandwidth nightmare xD

  • I know this question might get lost in all the sales talk (or is covered elsewhere in the 17x pages), but is there a known issue with the "increase disk" button in the control panel?

    I have a number of VPS servers that got woefully under-provisioned when they were moved from ColoCrossing. Clicking on the expand disk button just locks up the browser and doesn't actually do anything. (I hate adding to the burden of the ticket queue, so figured I would ask here first.)

    Most people have expanded disk already by now and there's not many of those left so it's definitely something I've brought up to our developer and it's being worked on although it's not high priority. If you're running out of disk and we owe you disk, definitely create a priority ticket.

    Not his fault, I know it's rare when someone comes with a sentence like that but it was a series of unfortunate events and it was actually related to that so it was actually helpful in this case.

    But the other 999 cases that come up like that, yeah, not relevant usually.

    Perfect combo of badly timed order, maintenance overlap, payment method originally selected, WHMCS spazzing out, very specific (fake) billing information, and as a result human error. Once in a year event maybe if that. I can't really disclose more than that without breach of privacy and/or having to breach an NDA. It's definitely complicated.

    On a serious note, does majority of the clients even come close to their allocated BW limit? Is Tokyo usage higher because of VPNs?

    Nope. Not at all on my VirMach host. But that's mainly because the host is running but hasn't connectivity to "the outside world" because support@VirMach can't work out that there is something wrong, let alone that they know how to fix it.

    Pings to other hosts in the same subnet give a reply, pings from the gateway not. So yeah, basically almost no bandwith is used...

    There's probably a hundred like you, then a few dozen around 100-500GB and a few that are 2-20TB.

    Each node might vary between 3TB and 50TB usually, and storage servers 80-200TB. I'm making most of this up as I go and not referencing anything but pretty accurate.

    MiserlyCaring-VM $55.00 USD Biennially, I set up my own small website, and now it is suddenly suspended, what should I do? It's been 2 days since the ticket was submitted, but no reply? View Ticket #627022

    Let me know if you'd like to provide any critical details.

    This is the first time I found that vir has such a good and cheap vps, I really want to buy one, but the official website does not have such strong activities, so I bought a vps for resale from a personal seller, which is very good, but the configuration is relatively low, just in 4 There is a promotion in the month, I bought MiserlyCaring-VM $55.00 USD Biennially, I am very satisfied, but it suddenly stopped a few days ago, because I only put a private photo album and personal website, there is no abuse, I don't understand it, and then I learned that it is because The problem of account transaction, I use it personally, a real user, please restore my service as soon as possible.

    If you could provide some identifying details such as account email, VM id#, and/or ticket number so VirMach could know who you are it would be helpful to you cause.

    So I am the bad guy here. :(
    336.21 GB of 1.95 TB Used

    It's a storage server but still ... 1.32 TB of 40 TB Used / 38.68 TB Free

    40tb, nice lol

    I've been debating finding something with bigger numbers, I've currently got a couple that are unmetered at 250 or 500mbit though so they do well, just bit slower.
