Everyone will be offered free migrate button to Epyc if we keep it on SVM. If we don't then it might still be possible. I believe you will be the only person to use this button though so I may just make it a manual process and once you are done migrating your 3 services we'll remove the button 30 days after no one else clicks it.
Some people who didn't specifically purchase "Ryzen" may be asked to migrate to Epyc if they have very large RAM specials. I haven't really worked that decision out yet.
@yoursunny said: Button: let me sleep at night.
Effect: hard limit CPU and IO to fair use limits, no more suspension due to exceeding limits.
Cost: free.
Limitation: can only be used on plans with 3 or more cores; after applying, every 3 shared cores become 1 unrestricted core.
CPU part could be coded out, I'll put this at the very bottom of our development queue. Release date: Q4 2027
@yoursunny said: Button: make the world a better place.
Effect: delete dedicated IPv4 and receive NAT IPv4 with 20 ports, usable for TCP, UDP, and SCTP.
Saving: $3/year for flash sale, $1/month for full price plans.
Limitation: cannot be used in Tokyo; cannot be used on accounts with CN billing address.
Originally planned, too annoying to do on SVM. Discount was going to be $0.30/IP/MO to $0.50/IP/MO
@yoursunny said: Button: make the world a worse place.
Effect: undo the above button.
Cost: $3 one time.
Note: if used successively, this is effectively IP changing button, and the fee is same as automated IP changing.
And this was going to be part of it. You'd also be able to opt out of IPv4 on order page to save or prices would be lowered and IPv4 fee tacked on by default unless you unselect it.

I'd use it for some of my VMs as well. So that is at least two of us.

Button: Resolve Multiple Account Bug
Cost: free
Effect: Cancel all VPS's on customer's multiple accounts that "totally aren't theirs" or "oh I forgot about that one".

Button: Enable Customer VM Controls Cost: Thousands a month in SolusVM licensing fees
Effects:
Allow customers to actually control their VM to the same level possible on SolusVM admin panel, such as changing MAC address, setting VNC port, NIC, driver, disk cache, CPU configuration, video.
Funny thing is, SolusVM used to let customers set their video settings. They found out that if customers set the video to something else, it might break, so they added a feature update where the option was fully taken out with no way to enable it, which means that certain operating system(s) cannot function now unless someone goes in on our end and changes it, and there's no API for it. Maybe sometime before 2012 they also did this with others, who knows.

Sounds just like good ol Solus man. One reason I am not fond of it truth be told.

I think all old enough accounts should have a chance correct multi-account issue.
Thank you everyone who was patient and sorry for the last bit of these flash specials taking so long to activate. I finally got some functional code to be able to activate these efficiently so that's why they were done quickly today. It's not that we were ignoring it, or had any bad intentions, it was just several failed iterations of solutions being worked on in the background.
Anyway, all* flash specials are provisioned now. There's still vserverid issue for most of the recent activated ones, which just means you won't be able to access the full SolusVM control panel yet, everything else should work. And some activated today are still waiting on due date to be adjusted. So please do not make tickets for these two issues.
*A little exception to this, the following have not been provisioned:
12 quantity for DALZ010 offer, 4GB RAM / 4 Core / 130GB Disk
1 quantity for NYCB041 offer (node is having problems still)
However, at this point in time, if you already haven't, feel free to contact us if:
There's any missing orders, make sure to provide all details such as invoice ID and transaction ID, so we can refund you
Yours is paid and still pending or in a weird halfway state like cancelled but paid, etc.
Incorrect specifications provisioned (these are super rare, maybe 1 or 2 out of each 1,000 so please make 100% sure first.)
For #3 if we get dozens of tickets claiming this, they'll all just be closed because it means people are reporting it improperly in which case you'll have to use LES support instead.
@nightcat said: I think all old enough accounts should have a chance correct multi-account issue.
This is a possibility if you understand it's a very very very very long line and everyone ahead of you in that line has a high likelihood of holding up the line and complicating things/not cooperating.

Don't worry we're going all Epyc after these, I've lost too many braincells and marbles with these ASRock amateur boards. Never again. And it'll be cheaper, plus maybe we'll even do something interesting like another control panel that supports IPv6 + IPv4 NAT out the box, just for you.
Okay maybe I'm promising too much, what I can say for certain is all purchases in the near future will be Epyc.
So, virmach will announce NAT VPS? I love IPv6 + NAT.
@VirMach you do also realise there is no way to pay for <20 usd service with paypal or credit/debit card for non eu/us users we are forced to add 20usd credit in order to buy anything
@codelock said: @VirMach you do also realise there is no way to pay for <20 usd service with paypal or credit/debit card for non eu/us users we are forced to add 20usd credit in order to buy anything
Yea I noticed credit and paypal were removed at checkout (Im in Canada). Thanks @codelock, I was trying to avoid buying an Atlanta server (didn't get one during flash sale) and no credit/paypal at checkout was my only excuse not to get one.. Now that credit cards have been added back I HAVE to buy one...

@erk said:
For the level of technology and investment, I thought they'd have bandwidth to spare.
This is just a huge guess but I assume they have cheap internet at high speeds for consumers, and most of it probably stays within the region (e.g, servers from Japan to customers in Japan.) Once it has to head out elsewhere is probably where it becomes expensive and it's most expensive for the carriers that have a good connection to China probably due to supply/demand.
Cheapest I've seen it is $400/1Gbit but probably awful routing to China, I assume mainly for Tokyo --> Los Angeles/Singapore. Actually I just double checked and yep, only goes to Hong Kong, South Korea, and San Jose with that carrier.
Then a mix of the cheapest above with some NTT, Vodafone, and Softbank (but probably for local routes) is $500-600/1Gbit
IIJ is way more expensive. I assume Softbank to China is probably the most expensive.
What makes bandwidth so limited in Japan?
I'll answer this part more specific to us. IIJ = Good network to China = higher usage. We have several times more usage for the same bandwidth allocation to customers, more than anticipated, when we kept the levels the same for plans across all locations. We also got a lot of abuse, unfortunately, as a result of the plans trading hands and being used for mass file sharing. For example, one guy that ended up eventually getting suspended for other breaches was basically streaming videos to hundreds if not thousands of people and selling this service to others (so also I/O abuse, and he was also multi-account, and it was most likely sold by scalper.) Finally, the 95th is highly skewed. It goes from almost no usage to a lot of usage for maybe 1/4th or 1/3rd of the day, so higher peaks, higher 95th. This means 600Mbps to 1Gbps of average usage turns into 1.7Gbps to 2.3Gbps billed usage. Aka, it gets bottlenecked. They might have a lot of bandwidth but the fibers get saturated during peak hours and sit empty the rest of the time.
@erk said:

Island? International transit via submarine cables.
Yeah underwater cables go insanely expensive to China. I really don't remember the quote I received a long time ago anymore but it was probably something like $20,000 a month for 100Mbps private cable (not literally a new cable but I guess a dedicated share on an existing cable.) Just to get it to China, no actual carriers on either end, you'd have to add that on as well. I could be off by a lot.
That ends up being top-notch though basically GFW bypass as far as that goes, front of the line.
