UK - KVM - NVMe SSD - EXTRA DISK - Free Direct Admin - Free nightly backups [LIMITED TIME]

InceptionHosting · September 2020

Good Aftermorning all!

Little exclusive for you from Inception Hosting Limited (established January 2011) this time from the UK/London. If you can find a better 'like for like' deal I will match it either in specs or price or both depending on what is presented!

2 CPU Core (E3-1270v6 @ 3.80GHz)
2 GB DDR4 Ram
60 GB Pure Samsung NVMe SSD Disk space (doubled for this promo)
2000 GB Bandwidth @ 1 gbit (shared)
1 x IPv4 address
1 x /64 IPv6
DDOS protection included.
Full daily backup of your entire disk image to a separate local raid array in the server for disaster recovery.
Free Direct Admin license
Free migration from your old host* (source must be a KVM VPS)

€5 /month or for extra value €50 /year
Order Link: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=185

This plan usually comes with 30GB disk, it does not usually have 2 months free for an annual payment and never comes with free migration from your old host.

This will be available until Sunday late afternoon (UK/London time) after which depending on how popular it has been I will either make it mainstream for a few days or put the plan back to normal

Welcome to unicorn land!

I am also happy to convert current customers to this plan, said no host ever, until now!

Thanks.

That's a dope offer! Glws

AlwaysSkint · September 2020

Cracking deal and a "well balanced" server.
Was totally tempted, especially with the disc space & daily backup but will stay with my current great deal(s) with you. I had to login and double-check specs. etc.

@AnthonySmith is there a private network "link" between nodes in the UK location?

Nope, they are not even all in the same physical DC, Clouvider has 3 in London

something thing to add in future to make them sexy.

I literally just need two of these merged Or two and a haff.

I can do that but not the CPU cores.

The node I have right now has been averaging 20 - 40% CPU usage of 4*2400MHz cores for 6mo. Around 3GB RAM used and 112GB of NVMe.

Would be great to come back to Inception/Clouvider.

Are you dead set on pure ssd or is ssd cached an option?

My goal is just to be able to say all locations are "NVMe". Ideally 120-150GB would be good. There is some clearing to do as well to shrink that.

I'd also be happy to pay for a drive or something.

Would it be possible to purchase monthly and switch to annual billing cycle in the future?

Yeah I don’t see any problem with that, I would caveat that it would need to be within 12 months.

Great! How long would DA license provision take?

usually minutes, sadly it looks like the API is down so I cant issue them right now, I will issue them asap though, this has only happened once before.
