Coming soon / general project update

We have been looking more closely at what we already have in place and what the project use looks like.

Big takeaways so far this is just my stream of consciousness spilling out on the keyboard really:

No one wants a mail relay, but is exists so its not going anywhere.
You can say no thank you to China all you want, China does not care.
Vietnam is removed from the block list.
We allow ordering from DC IP's, proxies and VPNs now, we just dont always give free credit (You get warned first during sign up if that's likely to happen)
Alpine is WAY more popular in general than I thought, to the point I have started to love it myself.
Coming up to 1500 live users, we are now considering if we want to add new locations, we are thinking NYC Metro area or boring but safe France/Poland/Netherlands
No one really wants sql offloading
HAProxy is proving VERY popular, we enabled http/2 (was missing)
We are looking to implement the CDN elements, caching, etc at the HAProxy edges.
Haproxy Global distribution for your domain is available now, so every edge will accept and route the traffic over your meshed subnet and hold your SSL for faster TTFP, the myth of having many IPs pointing to your domain also is available as standard here too, my jury is out on that one for SEO.
Support requirements have been supprisingly minimal, so thats a good sign.
We are looking to add traffic stats to the dashboard from the HAProxy servers for your hosted domains and may implement opt in honey pot and WAF features so we can start eating the shit before it hits your VPS.
recipe market place is hit and miss, more people are using it than expected for their own scripted server and stack deployments but keeping them private, almost no one is making anything public, so we are considering seperating this out in to optional quick deployments directly into the VPS creation process to replace recipes and having your own automation section for your own stacks, say "Throw out 5 VPS in each location and run these scraipts/commands in this order on VPS 1,2,3 and these commands and scripts on vps 4 and 5.
I am sad that almost no is playing with the ipxe/pxe options in the network/dhcp section, maybe that should just be free.
Considering moving to BETA end of Feb, earlier than expected, but we have had fewer issues than expected.
I need to do more work on the templates, we use the defaults for the most part from the official distros but they are more bloated than then need to be.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.
