UK KVM VPS - £15/yr (2C/4G) up to £46/yr (8C/16G) – Vive Hosting

Hi all, Michael from Vive Hosting here. If you saw my first post, you’ll know we kicked things off with our KVM storage servers. The demand for these was incredible and so was the feedback we received.
Whilst we certainly made an impression with those large-capacity KVM storage plan, that's not really what we're all about. We've been providing virtualised servers for a long time now but mostly only on a one-to-one basis with our clients (we've been doing software dev for the last 15+ years). Times have changed, we've added significant capacity and we're opening the gates by offering our VPS and other hosting plans to the public under our relatively new "Vive Hosting" brand.
Today, we're kicking off with some introductory KVM VPS offers, all running on enterprise-grade 14th-gen Dell PowerEdge hardware with Intel Xeon Gold CPUs and SSD backed OS disks running ZFS. All of our KVM VPS plans include automatic failover within our cluster (we're pushing 16 nodes on this one cluster alone) as well as daily backups in case the worst was to happen.
These are UK-only in a DC just outside London.
So, let's get to it - here's what we've got for you!
They're all limited quantity so get one while you can. The smallest plan (2C/8G) is very limited (this barely breaks even from a cost perspective).
2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM, 25 GB SSD, 400 Mbps, 5 TB transfer – £8 for six months or £15 per year
https://console.vivehosting.com/index.php?rp=/store/exclusives/exclusive-2c4g
4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM, 25 GB SSD, 400 Mbps, 5 TB transfer – £14 for six months or £26 per year
https://console.vivehosting.com/index.php?rp=/store/exclusives/exclusive-4c8g
8 vCPU / 16 GB RAM, 25 GB SSD, 400 Mbps, 5 TB transfer – £24 for six months or £46 per year
https://console.vivehosting.com/index.php?rp=/store/exclusives/exclusive-8c16g
Orders are manually approved to ensure capacity and performance. If demand is anything like it was with our storage plans last month then we may have to stagger the activation of these. It'd be a breeze for our hardware and network, it just puts a little strain on our support.
I should mention that all of the above plans include one IPV4 and a /64 IPV6.
If anyone is interested in IPV6 only versions of these, drop us a support ticket and we'll take good care of you with an additional 20% discount. We also have the option of going bigger so if you're looking for something with a bit more punch, just let me know.
Thanks
Michael

IPv6 less than /64 Hall of Incompetence
/64 is the smallest sensible IPv6 sub-assignment size.
Offer /64 or larger subnet on every plan in every location to get delisted.
We accept Karma donations for the last flan. 🍮 affbrr
That's hilarious!
Consider it done - everyone gets a /64
Honestly, I didn't realise people cared that much.

This has been the fastest delisting from

Yes we do care.
Moreover, @raindog308 has stated that less than /64 providers are no longer eligible for free listing on LowEndBox.

Most of us don't and don't feed the troll.
@yoursunny who gives two shits what @raindog308 says?

Nice deal ~ The storage VPS is also very nice ~

nice offers, if only the SSD was more.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
At this price it's difficult, it's one hell of a deal 👑

yes it is. GLWS!

Yeah, the storage VPS was a real hit. Recently rolled out another storage array so we'll likely be back with some more deals on this soon.

Any benchmark ?
Here's a bench on a 4c/8g VPS which is the middle-ground offer.

It is just Tor exits you prohibit, or relays as well?
(I suspect I know the answer but I'm hoping for a more charitable reading of your ToS
)
Interesting use of Proxmox.
Placed an order (#5123, invoice #5108) but didn't get any emails (apart from one from PayPal): it seems that mxroute doesn't like your email setup. Re-sending email verification didn't help. if I logout of client area, there's a distinct possibility that I won't get back in! I need to reset my password, as I wasn't paying attention when ordering the service. :'( Ticket Created #ZZH-460418
You are very limiting in having just two pre-defined OS templates. Can you not offer a netboot.xyz ISO, preferably as a mountable ISO?

Some people do care. And some people also care about Reverse DNS (for IPv4 and IPv6). Also, any ports blocked? Any test IPs (IPv4/IPv6)?
We do not allow Tor exits or relays, sorry.
Your ticket's been updated, account details changed and new password on its way. Will investigate the mxroute email rejection.
We're in the process of adding more OS choices, these should be available real soon. We've got a bunch of tickets open with a bunch of OS requests of if there's anything you specifically need please let us know.
As for bootable ISOs, this isn't something that we've really considered. I'll have a chat with the team to see what we can do and if this is something that we want to implement.
We've got a test IP and file download - https://ping.vivehosting.com/
Unfortunately we do not have a looking glass right now.
With regards to blocked ports, there are a few but it's mostly open.
We don't permit using torrents or P2P file sharing so there are some blocks around this and a couple other things but you should be good to go for the most part.
Reverse DNS is supported although this requires opening a ticket with us for the time being.

Thanks for the quick resolution to my Ticket.
Netboot would allow you to cater for a multitude of OS without the hassle of setting up templates. Templates are really for a dumber (Windoze) luser that thinks one big partition is de rigueur - quick & dirty way to install an OS. Literally (nearly) one size doesn't fit all.
A netboot ISO could be attached to a VM by default and only activated by changing boot order. The small ISO uses little resources. A systemrescuecd ISO may also be considered.

@ViveHosting
Is there any secret potion required to get the noVNC console to work? It just displays the starting connection status.

I guess the secret is out! Maybe I'll create a KB article with this (and only this) information

Yeah it looks like MXRoute really doesn't like your emails, so I've no idea what state that order is now
A quick shout out to the guy who just ordered 12 KVM VPS with us
If it's someone on here, I'd love to know what you plan on doing with them.
UK Shared Hosting | 5TB Storage KVM | UK KVM VPS
Maybe resell for higher price or distribute among friends? But I think they are probably just waiting for the card charge back to take effect?
Maybe they put the 12 for Debian 12 in the wrong box?
You should get off those then, could be deterimental to your health and sanity.

I think it's time I revisit our TOS and make some additions to what's prohibited.
Anyway, he's got all SSDs and no hard disks. I said hard disks. You get it? I'll see myself out.

Perhaps us beta testers will get a 5GB storage bonus, or a single snapshot slot.

Erm... add ViveHosting to the watch list pls. Not sure which watch list, but just add him to all.
Ah, right, add ViveHosting to the same watchlists that @AuroraZero is on!
So the interesting thing about your snapshot comment is that all our VMs are already backed up, it's just not exposed to you directly.
Firstly they're actually replicated over 2 additional nodes in the same cluster and after that the backups kick in. In fact, we take hourly snapshots of the last 6 hours as well as some daily, weekly and monthly snapshots too. When we're dealing with OS disks between 25-250GB which is the most common for us, it's really no issue hanging on to a few extra backups as a just in case.
We've considered making these available to our users but it's just one of things things hanging around on the to-do list.
One thing I will say of course is that we don't hold on to these once services are terminated. There's a little buffer but at the end of the day it's not our data so we have no reason/right to keep a backup if you've cancelled your server with us.

to resell obviously 😎

Been trying out netboot from debian, to install minimal Almalinux 8 (specific reasons), to no avail, so far. Textual installation hangs with a blank screen. It seems that cloud-init has been fighting me over control of grub but I can work around that bit. Will try to find time to experiment more.

Hmmmm @ViveHosting wake up.
Virtualizor and cloud-init are two worst things in VPS.

At least we can agree here add systemd to the mix as well.
The Yeti has left the building.
I don't believe I'll ever like systemd but there are some parts that are nice.
Just more automated crap to screw up when it is vital

systemd and netplan.io are two best things in Ubuntu.
They allow declarative syntax that describes the desired outcome, which is superior to ad hoc scripts that attempt to produce an outcome by effecting changes.

Systemd completely throws away the Unix "do one thing well" principle. (although this is probably not the time for that argument!)
My apologies, we're on it - we've got a whole bunch of OS templates coming, will all be going live at the same time.
Shouldn't be much longer now

The disk is too small.

Still haven't got a use for mine, due to not being able to boot an ISO/successfully boot netboot.xyz
I pop back into the site whenever I remember, in the forlorn hope that something has changed.
