        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, I spent a few months working on this storage project which is still in alpha but I really need basic testing just to ensure I'm not the only one that thinks it's stable (and then I can at least call it beta).</p>

<p>I'm looking for at least 3 reputable persons on the forum (but preferrably not providers for obvious reasons of competition at this point) who would test the service. Reputable should be people with at least 1 year of existence here or on OGF. At least 50 non-spammy comments would be nice.</p>

<p>This service will be "free" for AT LEAST A MONTH OR MORE (but obviously I need feedback as to whether it's stable or one experiences any quirks - so that's the catch). As a great thank you if issues are found, I'd really try to extend that time as a thank you to the testers. There might be times where the panel could go down when I do updates but that does not affect the SFTP access in any way.</p>

<p>If all goes well, I want to develop a second phase which will add some super cool features (since right now it's just SFTP access).</p>

<p>Anyways, enough talking, here's what you get:</p>

<p>100 GB SFTP Storage (how boring) but...<br />
1. This 100 GB of SFTP is on RAID 1 and is located in Canada (250 mbit unlimited: OVH).<br />
2. The storage is NEVER OVERSOLD (which hopefully means access times should rarely if ever be affected by oversold storage). At this point, looking at a max of 20 users if it's 100 GB blocks, less if it's portioned in bigger blocks.<br />
3. The 100 GB is replicated to another dedicated server (which also is on RAID 1) in a different geographical region (in this case London - OVH) periodically (more details can be provided once you're selected to test) and will be adjusted based on feedback and testing.<br />
4. A custom built "technical" storage panel that doesn't just show you just disk space. I'm nearly sure you've never seen ANYTHING like this (even though it's not necessarily aesthetically pleasing) but when I say ANYTHING - let's just say you literally know what's going on with the server and storage details. Hint: IO WAIT, TEMP, UPTIME AND DEEPER DETAILS. This is a super important part that I hope makes the service worth the planned price (if it ever reaches public release).<br />
5. And most importantly, "you can sleep good at night" since you don't have to guess what's going on about your storage, it's stored in 2 different geographical reasons and you in theory have access to both servers in the rare event one of the servers go down (both accessible via SFTP with the same login details).</p>

<p>This package when I did the numbers would be around $4.50 a month (assuming 50 cents out of this goes to the payment gateway) if I ever reach the point of releasing to the public.</p>

<p>I understand this is totally expensive but you'll get more details as I said other than "cloud" storage where you just totally rely on the word of the company. I hope the value of having to not worry while sleeping would be worth it?</p>

<p>I have personal interest in this project since I plan to also be my own "customer" - I really want to sleep better at night knowing my data is safe from loss (to a higher degree). This in theory is still not considered a backup but I think it's more robust than guessing and hoping people are doing your storage right for you.</p>

<p><strong>So please PM if you're interested (it's a manual set up and would require you to register an account at ONDDNS.com since the panel uses my own SSO technology).</strong></p>

<p>Thanks again at least for reading even if you don't decide to PM in.</p>

<p>Additional rules: You agree to not screenshot, share further details with others at this point until launch IF all goes well - launch would be delayed by a few months well IF I get to 2nd phase of development.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Looking to get a better sense of what would be appropriate pricing guidelines for resource pools.</p>

<p>(As per <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/3249/#Comment_3249">https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/3249/#Comment_3249</a>)</p>

<p>So far for KVM pools we have <a href="https://dev.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/HostDoc" rel="nofollow">@HostDoc</a> starting with a 1 GB ram / 30 GB storage / 2 instance pool in the EU region @ £4.89/m (about $6.35 - regular pricing at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://kvm.doctor/cloud/">https://kvm.doctor/cloud/</a> - see comment below for previous "deal" pricing.) and going up to £16.50/m (about $21.50) for 5 GB ram / 80 GB storage / 5 instances in several locations in the USA.</p>

<p>And the unadvertised KVM pool from <a href="https://dev.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/SMARTHOST" rel="nofollow">@SMARTHOST</a> with 2 GB ram / 5 instances @ $6.95/m in many locations in the USA and also in Amsterdam.</p>

<p>for OpenVZ resource pools we might look forward to seeing anyNode and impactVPS finding their way here "real soon now" ...</p>

<p>anyNode advertised a few OpenVZ7 resource pool deals available just in Miami back in May, ranging from $12/yr (1 core - not sure how that makes a "pool" but okay whatever) up to $7/m or $72/yr for:</p>

<pre spellcheck="false" tabindex="0">
6 virtual machines max
6 Cores (max 1 per VM)
6GB RAM 
120GB SSD
6 IPs
6TB bandwidth
</pre>

<p>and impactVPS has standard pricing listed on their website for their well-regarded resource pool product starting at:</p>

<pre spellcheck="false" tabindex="0">$12/m for 4 GB ram / 4 cores / 45 GB storage (with 5 IP addresses)
</pre>

<p>and going up to:</p>

<pre spellcheck="false" tabindex="0">$60/m for 20 GB ram / 20 cores / 225 GB storage (with 25 IP addresses)
</pre>

<p>available in Seattle, New York, and Dallas.</p>
