Sounds like great service from Vultr.
Only thing better would be if they had caught it before you did.
-
Yeah, their response only took 3 minutes, and another 5 for resolution. Not bad at all.

So that's why my VM got shut off.
Yeah, stop mining for bitcoin.

For as much business we send their way, one would think that they would pay some attention. Or are we just small potatoes?

This was a first for me. I've never had any issues with "noisy neighbors " before. Or if I have, I've never noticed it before. Since this is s PBX, I noticed it immediately.
-
@fuznutz04 what plan?
-
-
@NerdyDad LOL, I bet they don't have specific instances for Mangolassit IT accounts
I mean my Ubiquiti VM has been running fine but is a controller with low usage unless there is updates or changes. -
Kicking this thread back up because I am looking at RDSH on Vultr vs Azure. Are dedicated instances bare metal?
Ironically their marketing for dedicated instances clearly says "Goodbye Noisy Neighbors" I cant imagine a dedicated blade (guessing a single vm on KVM running on a blade) for the prices they offer.

No one would use bare metal. It would make them a laughingstock and no one could ever talk about them as a business class vendor again. And it would be unnecessarily costly and weird. It's just dedicated.

Blades aren't cost effective. Very unlikely that they would use costly technology like that.

Vultr dedicated definitely can't be physical since they offer VMs of partial servers. You need virtualization to carve up a server.

$240/mo for a single eight core CPU and 32GB RAM? That's trivially easy to do. They make great money on one of those instances. You can easily deploy a full 1U for that. In fact, for that price, I can easily afford to go to xByte, buy a server for you, ship it to Colocation America, pay for a 1U hosting plan and set it up for you. You don't need any economy of scale to make that plan financially profitable. That's $2,880/year revenue on a piece of hardware that only costs $800 to purchase!
-
@NerdyDad Yes you are
In all seriousness I wouldn't run a PBX on anything that didn't have a dedicated resource pool (Transcoding can do funny things when it doesn't have equal access to the CPU clock). This is generally in the install guide for a lot of PBX systems.

@scottalanmiller Check out OVH. Largest hosting provider in EMEA. BareMetal and you run your own whatever or dedicated vCenter/ESXi private cloud stuff.

Someone here tested them and had problems I thought.
-
@scottalanmiller I was actually looking at the $60 and $120 versions.
Was just thinking... click - click and I am up and running vs ordering and shipping to colo and using all the tools to install my software remotely.
At the $240 price point I agree with you though.

I'm using OVH. I'm not having any problems at all except for the ones I cause myself, ha ha ha.

Yeah I was actually hoping it was not bare-metal and that it was at least a dedicated VM running on its own blade with some redundancy etc.
But I see what you are seeing, the resources are dedicated to that VM in KVM I suppose?
Anyway with the RDSH server I am deploying I don't want to risk any "noisy neighbors" so that caught my I. Incredible value in cost vs Azure, which I initially completely miscalculated.
And I am curious to see if Vultr has less latency than Azure at this point.
