A few people have asked if the new panel will make Suspensions - Particularly those related to torrent activity more clear. We have completely re-written the torrent detection tooling using completely new logic which has proven to be pretty resilie…

(Quote) As I’ve said instances resources start at £15, expect that to remain the price for years to come, we’ve done everything possible to lock this price in.
-
(Quote) For full transparency here’s the reality: £15 has always been the price for instances, we’ve offered deals for less (and we will continue to do so). Deals under £15 12 months ago were breaking even which was fine for the promotion of the in…
-
(Quote) It’s literally no different, the user logs in and pays. If they don’t their service gets suspended.
-
(Quote) Or another credit can be purchased. Or the data can be retrieved ahead of time, like I say multiple emails are sent prior to expiry to remind the client, they all detail what occurs if the credits are left to expire. I’m not sure how I can …
-
(Quote) They expire at the time they were purchased. This is visible in the console. (Quote) You can delete or resize as many VMs necessary to free up resources. If this is not done prior to the expiry all VMs are suspended however you can still de…
-
(Quote) A resource is a package containing exactly that - a group of resources that can be used to create VMs in any of our locations. This is fairly clear in the new panel. All resources are valid for 12 months. This is text taken from the "O…
-
(Quote) The reason recurring offers aren't being migrated is due to a fundamental change in the way we manage payments on the new platform. We no longer provide recurring plans; instead, purchased resources are valid for 12 months and do not automa…

Just to update on this, we're still on track for the 17th. Today all paypal subscriptions have been cancelled and automatic service termination/suspension has been disabled. All services migrated to the new panel that expire in the next 7 days will…
-
(Quote) We may bring back the 256mb/10gb resources packages priced accordingly. Any reoccurring offers will be void after the migration although we will continue to have Black Friday and festive deals. (Quote) We’re aiming to get DDoS protection in…
-
(Quote) Yeah it saddens me having to make this decision but we really need to be profitable and we’re so so close at this point. One thing I can promise is we will bring back the £2 per year VPS’ at some point one way or another. I’m not sure what t…
-
(Quote) We’ll start with the src and dst ports and IPs. I’d rather put the effort into moving away from suspension and just try to prevent it via blocking torrent downloads. That’s an easier said than done mind as there’s a lot to consider there.
-
(Quote) This will get better, the new panel automatically unsuspends after 24 hours which will prevent people being left in the dark.
-
(Quote) I'm not able to go into details on this but this is accounted for. We didn't write the tooling, it was provided to us. I plan to move to more of a traffic blocking approach to discourage torrenting VS Suspension.
-
(Quote) Torrent detection is an automated process, for context it was somewhat forced upon us from one of our providers to prevent the nodes from being suspended. I can't go into the full logic of what the detection is doing but the first condition …
-
(Quote) The code will be reviewed prior to release externally along with a pen test. I can’t share details on this currently as we haven’t yet awarded the contract. This will likely not occur prior to the beta and this will be stipulated in the bet…

(Quote) As above, the beta will begin early January. (Quote)

Billing Panel and Control Panel Migration Announcement Whilst we don't have a definitive date for this due to ongoing development at some point around mid January to Mid February we will be migrating away from the current billing panel and control p…

This is done: Instance Details (Including Ports, SSH command, bandwidth use, CPU usage, Memory usage etc.) Using Apex charts for the graphing for CPU load and Bandwidth usage, not graphing memory usage on the first release but I’ll likely come back…

Also as we're aiming to fully discontinue normal VPS' we need to make way for clients with storage VPS'. We'll be offering block storage priced at £1 per year per 100GB in the FR location and potentially the NL location. This will be while stocks la…

Found some time over the weekend to finish the Launch Instance view. Whilst it was already functional I wasn't happy with the design etc. (Image) Deleting instances is now complete although the UI needs to be finished for the devices table as I'…

(Quote) We used to host PIs in a DC a few years back, we used 20 port hubs to power them and got around the rebooting using the reset pins on the pis. Basically we had a single PI4 with a gpio expander to act as the controller. Each pi was assigned…
-
(Quote) It’s powered by USB-C, what’s provided in terms of outlets? Do I just need to ship a standard US power supply and USB-C cable?
-
(Quote) I can just preconfigure a MicroSD card and ship it over, seems counter productive shipping something from China to the UK to then ship it to the states on the SBC though.
-
(Quote) The orange Pi has an NVME slot so no need for a hat or external enclosure. (Quote) without the NVME drive the power consumption is 7.3w at full load (which it likely never would be) the NVME drive I’m looking at has a maximum power consumpt…
-
I’m pretty interested in the micro collocation. Would you be willing to install one of these along with an NVME SSD in the £5 per month category? http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-5-32GB.html Also…

Got a little done today, SSH Keys are now integrated. This is using the sshpubkeys library for validation. (Image)

(Quote) Enlarging is fine but shrinking is dangerous, not only does it have a tendency to fail it also doesn’t clean up after itself and the image file has to be manually shrunk using the likes of fstrim. I’m reluctant to add a feature to enlarge d…
-
(Quote) Probably not, we’ve tested it. It’s dangerous, and can easily trash a container. If it does get added it will come with a whole bunch of warnings strongly recommending that it’s not used.
-
Had a quick Look over things this evening to work out what is left to do. The Launch/Create instance view is complete. We will be forcing Key based auth from the release of the new panel. Key validation will be done using sshpubkeys in strict mode:…

No progress has been made this evening, catching up on tickets still from Black Friday. I’m hoping to have the new panel functionally working over the weekend. I’ve purchased a decent server to host the panel on although it should be pretty perfor…
-
(Quote) https://micronode.uk/status/ Is automatically updated and we have full alerting on all nodes. This will all be built into the new panel though, with the relevant notifications and messages.

Thats as far as I'm going with ticketing, after all we offer a no support service! (Image)
