(Quote) Maybe popular is the wrong word but it’s definitely a tactic used by certain providers selling large amounts of NVME disk space for very little money.
-
(Quote) RAID 0 is popular with SSD and NVME providers as it allows them to buy storage at up to half the cost per GB compared to a redundant array whilst adding performance. This is a bad practice and usually RAID 1 is more than fast enough for NVM…
-
(Quote) Edit: This is a very brief explanation and it’s worth reading into the various RAID technologies they each come with pros and cons. RAID 10 for example is more expensive as you get around half the storage of an equivalent RAID 0 array althou…

Really depends on your backups, drive failure is real, we wouldn’t use anything less than RAID 1. Using RAID 0 on anything production is pretty terrifying the chance of failure is increased for each disk in the array. RAID 1 half’s write speeds but…

The voucher code for these expires at midnight UK time. Thanks to everyone that purchased them!

(Quote) Same location, slightly faster CPU and NVME. Waiting on stock but should hopefully have it provisioned next month.
-
(Quote) Good idea, I’m happy to add this to the roadmap. I don’t think it will require much additional development.
-
(Quote) As @yoursunny says these are small containers and usually clients don’t require additional ipv6 addresses. They are available however - free of charge.
-
(Quote) When we get the new UK node we will have an offer.

(Quote) How much disk space do you require?
-
(Quote) I’m happy to enable it in LXC locations, that’s really not an issue. The issue here is the lack of support on OpenVZ and the fact that we have to compile the module with several patches and maintain it.
-
(Quote) On the other hand wireguard-go has been considered stable for years, it is used on the Windows application for example. We can’t just add every kernel module someone asks for, that’s not how we work.
-
(Quote) They don’t have access to it, it’s our in house panel. We take security seriously, the panel is pentested regularly and we follow best practices.
-
(Quote) Absolutely a security concern, I doubt the wireguard team support this and I’d be even more surprised if it was tested officially on OpenVZ. We can’t just load kernel modules on a shared kernel without fully understanding the risks.
-
(Quote) Both directions. (Quote) We get notified and contact the client to arrange a mutual agreement. If the client wants to pay for additional bandwidth they will have that option, failing that it would be service suspension. (Quote) 200GB, the …

Our South Korea location is now back in stock for Instance users with a few minor changes. Korea is by far the most expensive node we have, we have just substantially upgraded this to allow stock in this location for the foreseeable future. Down t…

We don't do hourly billing but our resource pooling/instance credits is immensely popular. Most our clients have adopted this model compared to traditional VPS'.
-
(Quote) Typo, now fixed.

New Primary Location! We have added a new permanent location to Micronode instances, Limburg, Germany 🇩🇪. Node Specifications: * Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1541 4c/8t * NVME RAID 1 * 32GB DDR4 * 10 Gigabit Port (250Mbps Upload) This is available imm…

(Quote) We will get back to you, there is a backlog on support at the moment and you are in a queue.

2 major deployments in one day! This one has been requested a lot by our clients. We have added bandwidth monitoring, we will be adding some dashboards in a future release to allow Micronode users to drill down into their bandwidth usage in a time …

Micronode 1.2.6 Released! Changelog Added: * Bandwidth Monitorning Changed: Fixed:
-
(Quote) We wrote the control panel in house so additions like this are possible, SSH keys will eventually become compulsory for all instances although there is no planned date for deprecating password based login.
-
(Quote) I get this, and understand both of your points above but RSA is supported on all of our templates, and is supported by most/all distros. We're going for stability/support rather than cutting edge to provide the best end user experience…
-
(Quote) So when a user uploads an unsupported key what happens then? They create a support ticket creating unnecessary support and have an overall poor experience or fall back to using password based auth which we are trying to avoid. We will allow…
-
(Quote) You're right, its more modern but not necessarily safer. A 4096 bit RSA key is considered secure. The reason to go with RSA is down to support, all of our templates support it out of the box and it should simplify the community templat…
-
SSH Key support has been released for instance customers. This will eventually be available for VPS' as well, hopefully in the next release. SSH Keys must be in the ssh-rsa format, ssh-dss keys are not supported. It should be fairly self expl…
-
Micronode 1.2.1 Released! Changelog Added: * SSH Key Support Changed: * Build process now detects if node is offline. Fixed: * Fixed bug causing RO instances to sometimes fail to have network connectivity after deployment.
-
(Quote) You can use wireguard without the kernel module, I believe there are several releases available that do not require it. We are not able to install it on the node but somebody here should be able to assist you with the installation.

@yoursunny Just for you we got the SSH keys feature tested today. Key Management (Image) Provisioning We're not going to enforce keys immediately and the option for password based auth remains for now. This will be phased out. It is still…
