Well actually right now this is just an idea and based on the feedback I received, I probably won't do it.
FWIW, if I hadn't just picked up a dedi I'd have been interested at 8gig and/or 16gig. One the plus side most of my stuff is behind a proxy anyway so lack of v4 isn't devastating. One the negative is that almost everything I'm doing is for myself or a couple people so I'm rarely cpu bound. Makes it hard to justify when I currently have 12 threads I'm still only barely using.
Can you let me know what you're talking about again specifically? I just mean the exact pricing/post that I made about it, I can't find it since I talk too much.

Just curious, would the plan somehow psychologically looked more attractive if it had less cores? Everything else the same, including the price.
I have a question to everyone who wants Virtfusion. If I released the same exact plan, and the only difference is whether it's on Virtfusion or SolusVM, would you actually pick the Virtfusion plan?
So just imagine you're looking at these plans right now, and you see:

$126 on Virtfusion, $99 on SolusVM
$42 on Virtfusion, $33 on SolusVM
Cheaper the better, always for me.
Sure V is much sleek, but not that great to warrant more $$$$

4C/6C with the rest same spec should be okay. And if 2X same spec for bigger plan with similar 2X price for me also acceptable.
@VirMach said: In Europe I can do it for $720. That's the actual power cost difference. Plus like $100 setup fee.
EDIT-- okay technically power isn't the only thing and bandwidth/space is about the same. But power is the main thing for these servers. So probably closer to $500 instead of $88.
Wow - That is ludicrous, I am sure our energy is not ~ 6 x more expensive. Even so, I appreciate the offer and understand why the answer is NO to Europe
BTW this was not meant as a criticism - I fully believe what you are saying.
As far as Solus / Virt - Once my server is up and running, I don't care what you are using. So my choice would be to always go for the lower priced.

where this cost from,isn't one VF license just cost 18$ a month?

An interesting question ... I'm honestly not sure ( working under the assumption that I didn't know that more cores were originally available of course ). I'm going to say no but admit that the engineer in me is attracted to the efficiency. Plus it would have ruled out one of my use cases since the software requires 4c/16g and actually checks.

Let me know what plan you would purchase for $99, try to be realistic.
Now assume we're not getting $2000 worth of RAM to add to that server, just a typical amount that'd make sense for the processing power of one server, and divide it out. An unlimited license for one server sadly doesn't mean we get to divide by infinity.
I make backups of the entire virtual machines.
I also back up the website files to two locations.
But this server, running on a single drive, could not take the backups due to a drive failure for the last 5 days, and the other two backup servers were not configured properly.
Anyway, I managed to copy all the files from the failed machine. Fortunately, the websites were not affected.

what if all 4 people on the server agree to use proxmox VE to spilt😁

Good point. What's the problem with PVE? It's free but I don't know hosts that use them.
I was going to try to use Proxmox for the virtual dedicated idea. I guess we could scrap the "dedicated" portion of that idea and still try to use it and find out why other hosts don't use it. But let me maybe launch the location first, I should stop distracting myself.

99$ per year for Limited promotion like 4-6C Dedicated Xeon/12-16G DDR3-4 /150-200G Raid SSD(I mean some kind of Redundant) looks attractive to me.
This is doable. It might be a little cheaper if you don't mind.
@matcha said: @VirMach NYCB037 down since last month, do you have any idea?
I'm aware. It's fully dead and every option requires more coordination/planning than usual, so unfortunately I keep postponing and losing track of time. The original "plan" at the time was to email everyone, telling them to check network status page for scheduled date where I'd drive in with a replacement server/parts, and it was going to happen right after I wrapped things up in "a couple days" here, and I believe that was around 4th of July. The "plan" changed a day or two after that, then it changed again, and again, to the point where I didn't even bother sending out notifications because I knew it'd change (and I was going to instead respond to tickets individually but I did a terrible job with that as well.)
Something almost happened last week, then it didn't. It'll be rectified eventually with appropriate service extensions, that's all I can really say. I do apologize.

SolusVM is not that bad. I mean, we have used it for a long time... A little bit longer won't matter 😛
Why are providers still using SolusVM? It's garbage! Move to Virtfusion tomorrow! Viva Virtfusion!
Edit: Wait, why did I think 33 + 4 = 42? Anyway, I'm not rich but we need to improve. Still, I'm going with Virtfusion.
What is the current progress of the LAXA019 node?
Emails sent out, current ETA on Wednesday (48~ hours.) Requires hardware swap.
I would prefer Virfusion,but cheaper SolusVM is better.
4C/6C with the rest same spec should be okay. And if 2X same spec for bigger plan with similar 2X price for me also acceptable.

I'm interested, but I may already have too many VirMach servers... if that's possible. I could be convinced
Wow, I used a single drive in a server and now it's starting to fail. But hey, the other nodes running on RAID have perfectly healthy drives.
Not a Virmach machine, though.
I make backups of the entire virtual machines.
I also back up the website files to two locations.
But this server, running on a single drive, could not take the backups due to a drive failure for the last 5 days, and the other two backup servers were not configured properly.

Keep an eye on your backups.

It seems I need to start using my Virmach server

Would love to see the new updates here @VirMach
Pretty good going you've had since 2014.
I think it'd be probably in the lowest priority to update it.
It’s been 10 years and 2 months since I registered my Virmach account. (VPSCraft for Minecraft)

Oh no, PBS down
Yeah it's back.
Viva virbot
@VirMach
Going strong
One day I hope it drops dedicated servers too
AMSD018 Looks like the disk has gone walkies....
Swap went read only, reboot
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
Edit - another server in AMSD018 is working so just a VM issue.
