I can't leave the datacenter, security is too high someone has to come back and scan their body parts to let me in.
I just want everyone to know this is the temperature in the hot aisle right now right behind our cabinet. We need to get some people running benchmarks ASAP or I’ll freeze to death.
Yes I really brought a smart thermometer with me I wanted to make sure my jacket was justified.
@VirMach said: Fixed previously mentioned router issue after it was finalized. I have a checklist of things to grab before heading in one last time (hopefully) before we have at least one server ready for migrations. That means barring some new problem, we are extremely close to one being up. I think what's needed is just verifying the few servers I mentioned as ready have the correct IP configuration or rebooting them.
Reason these didn't come online straight away is because they're using the Miami IPv4 subnets which had an issue. I only tested the original subnets we had for Oklahoma when verifying the other day. While we wait on that, I'll be twiddling my thumbs. Okay no I'll find something to do, more cage nuts and maybe get everything connected in the second cabinet and get @Python's VPS back on.
Dang that’s cold for long hours of work @VirMach must really miss that coffee now

The first person to open a migration request has been moved to Miami (this is an inside joke between me and the one person that's been migrated, you guys wouldn't get it. )
Don't forget (I'm speaking with the one person who was moved) there's going to be some unannounced maintenance. Everyone else, no need to worry, you are likely not the one person who had their service moved and therefore there's no planned unplanned maintenance for your service and it is safely still in the same location.
Once again I'm only speaking with the person who had their service migrated, but also keep in mind that some things may change like your service's IP address when everyone else joins the party. I'm going to go painfully slow and go in the order they were put in.

I just got my VM migrated to OKC
I don't want this person to feel uncomfortable for being the only person who's been moved so I won't name them.
I still can't locate our 7542/7452. I don't know if the boards we have are compatible with older generation, but I have a bunch of 7501's that I may just put in so we have them as a placeholder for now and then it's just an easy swap later down the line.
I had a lot of updates written but some were outdated and then it got long, I'll just post a few snippets here and there.
Ryzen Bare Metal
It's looking like this right now. Can change, it's already changed so much, I just never updated you guys until I was semi-sure.
The prices are estimates and are the sale prices. What will likely happen for the sale is that I'll build everything out, won't put in specific drives, and they'll be "pre-orders" except not really a pre-order, as in it'll only be done when they're racked, it would just help get an idea on the demand and then let's say 72 hours setup time or we say we failed to deliver it and just refund you.
Then, expect there to be non-early birds on them but maybe $5 a month higher after X quantities sold. MSRP starts at $49.
A ) $25/mo - Ryzen 5500*, 16GB RAM, 4x1TB HDD (Can optionally upgrade to 4x3TB HDD) w/ a 500GB SSD snuck in as optional boot drive?
B ) $35/mo - Ryzen 5500, 32GB RAM, 4x500GB** SSD (Can optionally upgrade to 4x1TB SSD)
C ) $45/mo - Ryzen 5500, 32GB RAM, 2x2TB NVMe (Can optionally add up to*** 4x hotswap disks)
D ) $55/mo - Ryzen 5500, 64GB RAM, 2x4TB NVMe (Can optionally add up to*** 4x hotswap disks)
Notes:
Non-ECC memory, no IPMI. KVM will likely be optional and $15 or so setup fee and/or $1-2/mo. We can technically do ECC and IPMI, for +$40/mo but I doubt anyone would want that.
They'll likely come with a /30 IPv4 and /48 to /64 IPv6 (probably /56.) Higher amount available for IPv4 but not at a price that'd be attractive for the sale.
*These are the ones that may switch over to Ryzen 2600's in the future. Not retroactively, so if you buy a 5500 and keep it, then it'll be left alone. These boards technically do the best on 3000 series so we'll see how it goes and a third version for processors might be introduced later down the line, but it's going to be 5500 for the first 20 to 30 of them.
**Might end up being 4x1TB SSD, depends on how many of each we have available. I remember them as being mostly 500GB but all the drives I've pulled out of storage have been 1TB SSDs.
**Haven't tested the actual limits, likely capped if we want it not running into issues. I actually don't even remember how many SATA ports we have on the boards, I could check in 15 seconds and not write all this out but I won't.
Let me know if there's any feedback on how these should be modified, if pricing looks good, and so on. We're pretty flexible with them at this stage. All I know is that I tried to put in both NVMe and a RAID controller and while that's technically possible, it would need to be done later with some custom bracket, specific controllers, etc.
@VirMach said: Non-ECC memory, no IPMI. KVM will likely be optional and $15 or so setup fee and/or $1-2/mo. We can technically do ECC and IPMI, for +$40/mo but I doubt anyone would want that.
really want ECC for better production environment(mY biLLioN BuSIness),and also want IPMI/or other controller like PiKVM
+$350 ONE-TIME
I remember we have mentioned that,maybe give us some discount by pay the ONE-TIME fee?
@taizi said: really want ECC for better production environment(mY biLLioN BuSIness),and also want IPMI/or other controller like PiKVM
PiKVM would cost more than one-time setup for a dongle, but the dongle is going to a pretty old multi-port KVM unit with limited simultaneous seats and also old enough to where there's no HTML5. We can pretty much do anything... but it will add to the cost. So PiKVM or newer multi-port switch plus dongle would be an extra $20 ($15 versus $35 setup.)
@taizi said: really want ECC for better production environment(mY biLLioN BuSIness),and also want IPMI/or other controller like PiKVM
ECC can technically be done if you downgrade from 5500 to 2600 or 3600 (if we get any) for an extra $10 a month or so. It's not something we'd likely be offering but if you end up being interested I can customize it, and you'll need to get the 64GB memory server because the ECC sticks are larger. Or with a board that supports IPMI, around +$40 a month as mentioned (or $400 one-time.)
But with all that said, it sounds like you just need an Epyc server. By then it'll be cheaper than whatever mess this would be... BUT, we could do it if you really want a Ryzen. I can even do a hacky way of getting ECC to work with 5000 series. But it's hacky.
Epyc server would end up being around $59 a month... BUT... it's limited on disk. Since it'll be uses U.2/Enterprise. So something like 1TB base, $10/mo or $50 setup per additional 1TB or so, super rough pricing on that.
@taizi said: I remember we have mentioned that,maybe give us some discount by pay the ONE-TIME fee?
I feel like the prices already include those discounts, without the $350 one-time fee. I guess it's not a 5600X, it's a 5500, and it's already past the amount of NVMe included for that $350 one-time upgrade.
@taizi said:
oh wait,is that general offer?was though it is for old E3 customer
Oh maybe I should have mentioned this last part:
Anyone who previously had a dedicated server with us and was impacted by a delay in it being switched to Ryzen and you wanted Ryzen, or you were negatively affected by the time we got Biloh'd or the time we got Ernie'd then we would offer you an equivalent Ryzen bare metal at the same price you were paying. Unfortunately, since I know someone may ask, this doesn't mean we can include ECC memory or KVM or IPMI or more IPv4 even though the original technically had those thing(s.) Those are all additional line items and weren't calculated in my ability to make that offer. Also putting another disclaimer, this doesn't apply to any dedicated servers we may have given out for free. Maybe. Let's say all of this requires my approval but I'll be nice.
It'd be $200-400 one-time setup fee or something like $15 a month. The IP addresses won't be cheap on dedicated servers. The lowest I could see a /29 being would be $8 per month additional. Depends on how many I set aside for this, but at the beginning we're assuming no one wants it. So if more people want it, price would come down.
People can send in their own drives and I'll install it without any additional setup fees (for members of this community, at least for these initial purchases) as long as you do not ever want it back, even if you cancel (I'll make an exception to this if you're sending us a $500 hard drive or something like that and get pre-approved for me to track it so we know it's yours.)
Extra drives, those can end up being pretty cheap. I have a lot of them, depends on what's left over. But probably... super quick estimate.
+$3/mo per 2-3TB HDD or 500GB SSD
+$5/mo per 1TB SSD
+$10/mo per 2TB SSD or 6-8TB HDD

What about a $100-169/y dedicated server, as an extremely early bird offer, limited to 1 or 2 qty?
If you had a server with us before, see above, it might end up being around $170/yr for the cheapest ones we sold in the past. Sadly your proposed pricing wouldn't even cover colocation costs and I'm not trying to lose even more money yet on this location, allow it to become profitable first and that sounds more like something we'd do if we have extra empty ones in the future.
I could definitely do $169/yr for first year only but I don't think you guys like those kind of deals. I'll see what's possible.
@sh97 said:

For this I'll paste in another part of the long message I had written out. These aren't dedicated servers but they could end up doing well in that price range for what you get... super rough estimate on the pricing here.

Totally agreed - does not make sense for a new location.
I'll wait for BF, hopefully it's profitable by then!
My suspension appeal ticket has been opened for almost three months and no staffs responded.
I also tried to DM @VirMach and still got no replies. Why?
What about /31 ?
As long as the customer doesn't need Windows, this will save half of the address space.
Customer can pick /31 instead of /30 to obtain $5/month off.
We want to stack the $10 plan:
$20/2YR - 8GB RAM, 2x Cores, 40GB SSD, /64 IPv6 Only (No IPv4)
But then I'd have to assess the hidden stacking fee that all other configurations have, that's +$23/2YR for a stack of two, discounted $5/2YR to +$18/2YR per two stacks of two (for total stack of four.) Then there's the non-dual stack stack administration cost of +$12/2YR which can be waived if you add 1 IPv4 for +$12/2YR. You're right, that is a little complicated. I should just make each 4GB stack cost $30/2YR instead of $10/2YR which would allow us to instead apply the $5/2YR stacking discount for stacks of two, and for a limited time that comes with one IPv4, optionally bundled with no extra cost.

I can prioritize this but if it hasn't already been prioritized it means it would have likely been rejected. Alternatively you can elect to wait without contacting us any further and we may be able to provide a suspension fee reduction waiver up to $40 and consider making an exception which would potentially allow for more leniency, resulting in a higher likelihood of unsuspension at a later undetermined date when we are better able to handle a potential repeat in abuse.
If you'd prefer I can take a look and verify this further, but the suspension fee would have to be paid in that case. If at any time you feel any of this is unfair or confusing, we can revert to the normal appeal process (which would mean the suspension fee is owed, with no guarantee of unsuspension.) If we find this was done in error, the fee would be refunded and you'd also receive SLA credits.
