[MaxKVM] Network Updates with Christmas and New Year Offers (2020)!
Hello LES!
NAUGHTYLIST is now active for 30% off the entire line of services as well as add-ons (any billing cycle, ends 12/25).
You might be happy to hear (if you are one of the people who has requested this feature countless times) that Internal Networking has finally been deployed on our global "cloud" KVM infrastructure. The MaxKVM Internal Network is now online wordwide and all KVMs are able to communicate over the private internal network in each individual datacenter (no matter the host node in the DC).
Since the main internal network spans all datacenters in the USA, all virtual machines in the Los Angeles, Dallas, and/or New York datacenters are able to communicate with each other using Internal IPs (though Amsterdam and Singapore internal networks are limited to their respective DCs).
Please feel welcome to ping/trace to and from Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York internal IPs using one of our Looking Glass pages:
http://lg.lax.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.16.0.10
http://lg.dfw.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.17.0.10
http://lg.nyc.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.18.0.10
While you're there, try out the new "screenshot" and "ttfb" commands. These were useful for us to diagnose geographic network and other technical issues while we configured a new anycast HA cluster for maxkvm.com, so we thought these features might also be helpful to some of you.
Internal Networking is available to all current and new subscribers. Please open a ticket and we will configure your system(s) on the internal network ASAP!
What new feature should we deploy next? Comment or send a PM
Now that all the boring info is out of the way, let's talk about Rampart..
HOLIDAY DISCOUNTS!
From now until 1/1/21, we will have new promotions every single day that activate automatically every 24 hours. The promotion code is the date and you will need to search through different products with different billing cycles to find the daily discount.
As an example, today's promotional code is 12-18-2020 (for 30% off the SKVM-** on *** billing cycle) and tomorrow's code is 12-19-2020 (but you will need to find the discounted service.) The next day's code will be 12-20-2020, and this will continue until the end of 1/1/21 (PST).
Some of these offers are massive recurring discounts and will be extremely limited. Good luck!
We also have 3 custom KVM plans (including a new 256M plan) to offer along with our existing lineup between now and 1/1/21:
SKVM-256M

Note:
If you noticed that our site was offline in the past week or so, we have completely migrated away from Cloudflare DNS/Proxy/Caching and replaced it with... Cloudflare (Magic Transit). The maxkvm.com site is now running with triple replication and optimizations for High Availability. Thank you for your patience in the few moments the main website was offline in the past week. We may have over-engineered this project and there were a few bugs to iron out, but everything is running extremely well now.
Note:
Our current users will report that we are incredibly responsive to support requests and that we monitor our systems very closely. Many have heard from us and have had their system(s) interrupted and/or suspended due to resource abuse. Please understand all the resources in these plans are fair share and although machines can always burst to use 100% of allocated resources, systems detected running with a constant 100% utilization of CPU, Disk I/O, and/or Network could be issued a power cycle, hard shutdown, and/or suspension with or without prior notice depending on the severity of abuse. Communication detailing the reason(s) for interruption will always be sent. These rules and procedures are in place to ensure uptime and performance for all guest systems and host services. More information can be found in our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
Payment Options:
We offer a wide array of payment options for both local (US based) and international customers. PayPal, Bitcoin, Stripe, Alipay, QIWI, SOFORT, Webmoney, Yandex.Money, Banamex, Bancomer, Bancontact, Boleto, DOKU, eNets, EPS, Globe GCash, iDeal, MyBank, Multibanco, Onecard, OXXO, PayU, and Przelewy24 (P24) are all currently accepted.

NAUGHTYLIST is very fragrant.
ADD35 doesn't work with the 256MB plan. Also, Singapore has left the 256MB party.
This is new and fun. Very nice
EDIT: Do these promocodes only apply to the products listed in this post? Or to all products on your site?
Keep an eye on the LES Christmas thread for some yoursunny promos
Fixed! And Singapore has left all parties until some resources free up or as soon as we can get more systems over there. It'll be back for the NYE party.

Solution:
The billing system treats "location" as an add-on selection, so the location wouldn't matter on coupon applicability. You just need to cover all RAM sizes and billing cycles.
This is exactly why people need to stop collecting idle boxes. Resources are scarce!
You will need to be quick on some of these. There might be 50,60,70%+ discounts available on some key dates.

Adding all products/plans into the cart will be no help. The total deduction will not tell you from which plan you earn the trophy, just displaying the total number of deduction only.
@MaxKVM Well, the thing you call "Holiday Discounts" is the same thing, why people still do a BF Sale.
"256MB KVM for 18$/y" This is LES sir.

Bummer! This location's the one I was hoping to grab.
@maxkvm why do you have all the fun on OGF? We need some drama here too! (not really) ..
glad to see some fragrant offers. Just need some in

Please link the offer you think is better than $1.50 for 256M with EPYC (or 1000 GeekBench 5 single core equivalent) with NVMe and IPv4 + IPv6 /64.
It can be a slow 8 year old Intel CPU too - I don't even mind. I might want the offer for more nameservers.

You didn't said it can't be your own offer or it needs to be in stock or can't be a limited promo.
-You cut the storage by 50%
For the same price, at least make a LES exclusive for the poor people.

Lol. The regular price of the SKVM-256M is indeed half the price of the SKVM-512M (or the same price as the 512M on sale for half price). This is still overpriced with half the spec and the full core and IPv4/IPv6.
The SKVM-256M might be in one of that daily promos.
Would LES be interested in a 256M with IPv6 only?

2G Monthly

2G annually too!
The "full core" is shared. For same amount of usage, the suspension hammer would drop earlier on smaller packages.
There's no clear policy on how much CPU usage is permitted without getting suspended; Virmach has a clear "33%" policy on this.
When I had a 512M box, I attempted 30% for an hour (to encode push-ups of course), and didn't get a suspension.
I suppose 51% would be pushing it.
Regarding IPv4, it should be like this:
To setup ¼ IPv4:
Fee schedule:
Pay $1 annually to claim a dedicated low port, such as Quote-of-the-Day or FTP.
TCP, SCTP, UDP, and UDPLite ports are claimed together.
Pay $3 annually to claim an ip_proto, such as SIT or GRE.
TCP, SCTP, UDP, and UDPLite cannot be claimed because they are divided by ports.
The major difference from NAT services is that, every guest node can see the public IPv4 inside, not a private IP. Programs must ensure they only bind to a port that belongs to this guest, or the packet would be dropped.
Incoming and outgoing packets after passed without address / port modification. RFC 3514 requires NAT box that modifies packet to set the evil bit, but this setup doesn't modify packet so the packets remain non-evil.
Additionally, there are fewer neighbors on the same IPv4, so that it's less likely to get the IPv4 blocked.
Interesting idea. Do you mind if these ½ and ¼ IPv4 KVMs are nested in a larger KVM?

@MaxKVM
if I order now, can I migrate to singapore location when the stock available again?
Do you have plan to have dedicated core package?
Yes, that should be no problem.
And no, there are no plans for dedicated cores.

Wait, what?!
Does this apply for anyone ordering anything under this promo?
Sure. That will be no problem whatsoever.
Did anyone here find the deal(s) for today?
AMD EPYC powered Performance NVMe VPS - Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, Amsterdam, Singapore | Support | Status
I did
Today deal very prem, similar with the one got on August..

You gave me a VM for a few months when you first started because I found an issue with the IPv6 version of your website - had no issues at all with that (seemed stable and quick), and having just seen the student discount, think it's all convinced me to sign up for a bigger plan Really glad you're still going strong and listening to customer feedback.
Finally!
Hmm, NAUGHTYLIST works on 256MB as well. $12.6/year with IPv4.
However, even Virmach is no longer recommending 256MB small KVM, so this isn't going to end up well. I must resist.
Can we pay by kiss currency or push-ups?
