Who should I be buying from these days?

I recall that i-83 may be kind of zombie or uncertain, MrVM's bundle links all say expired (including the one on Running Specials).

I'm looking for the cheapest possible <128MB ones in as many locations as possible for a side project/service launch (network monitoring for free).

Gullos Hosting @cam is pretty stable.

There is also @Neoon with his crazy projects and so is @Mason

Don't let the Canadians see that you lumped them in with us .... ;-)

I think Anthony stopped doing the Nat stuff for new signups. Could be 100% wrong though.

I was thinking about the NAT line up yesterday, I am thinking about switching back to the €3.50 128mb plans as the standard offer.

The 3 NAT offer for last year was a nice one. Makes me glad I renewed

mikho · August 2020

While we are on the subject, adding this many locations, I get the feeling it's hard to see all alternatives in the WHMCS cart.

I'm considering the option to only offer one package/location.
Would you prefer the 128mb **or ** 256mb package as they are today, or a mix? perhaps something like this?

128mb +128 swap
5 gb disk

@mikho said: While we are on the subject, adding this many locations, I get the feeling it's hard to see all alternatives in the WHMCS cart.

I wonder if there is some way to make it show up in a different layout on WHMCS rather than a grid of packages, or separate them out into each location = one category.

The one click bundle says bundle not active unfortunately.

Some locations are sold out, that is why the bundle doesn't work.

I've split them up into 3 categories for now (per region) but both US and EU have too many options at this moment.
I could make one product and then make a "location selection box", but that would be very hard to control when a location goes out of stock.

Time to put on the thinking hat

Abdullah · August 2020

We are new here, have 256mb plans minimum, but might be worth a try.!
Thinking about 128mb plans too,

What are all the payment methods you take? I noticed you had a 3x bundle but the thread advertising it said 4x

How feasible is something like this?

havoc · August 2020

Fitting thread. Will need a bunch of servers shortly too if a project works out.

@ OP - what kind of tech stack? My preferred version all run >256mb

Please do not, or at least have both.
265MB is awesome!

@havoc said: @ OP - what kind of tech stack? My preferred version all run >256mb

I operate on the model pull and push. The deployed binary smol, protobuf over grpc. It's configured and run with a random token that identify the trace nodule. Elixir, built with distillery (so I don't need to install erlang on every machine) into a deployable pkg. Memory use below 30-40MB.

It makes a gRPC call with the assigned token which returns a list of stuff to check, like hostnames and ports which it saves for subsequent monitoring runs. It sends back results every minute - this also functions as a "is this location online itself" check if it misses a check-in itself and to update its own config. If it fails to connect back it'll save the results locally until the next checkin.

The main backend is pile of erlang/elixir/cockroachdb/timescale on kubernetes.

yeah I guess I could break with tradition and offer 2 options.

I took your feedback and began with something .... the slider options in WHMCS made it look terrible!

Trying a new, edited template on the "Rest of the World" group: https://clients.mrvm.net/cart.php?gid=20
Will build on that and try to get a slider or something that creates a nice overview of the services available.

One 'Out of Stock' doesn't look good with the rest of the 'Order Now'
