Prometeus - Your 'net consultants !

OK, after a long discussion with Uncle Sal last night (actually lasted into the morning too, went to bed at 5 AM), I managed to convince him to release stock to all special LET offers.
They were also grouped here: https://www.prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?gid=12
There are still some issues with IPs, hopefully will be fixed today.
A few things about these VPSes:
1. They are not for filesharing. As you can see they don't have tons of BW anyway.
2. They are intended for light io usage.
3. At first noticed DDoS they will be suspended indefinitely.
This is because we don't want to make a ton of people suffer, since they will be many in a single phisical server and the virtualization is OVZ which does not provide great isolation of containers.
Possible usage:VPN, personal blog, teamspeak server, front-end for some site to make a HA scheme, we are thinking to put up some images and tutorials so people can have a blog or hosting platform in a vps even if they dont know linux.
These VPSes are intended for both learning purposes and power users which know how to use every bit of resource without causing abusive loads.
As a last moment concession, now, for VZ0 and VZ1 payment option is semiannually too.

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade from 50cents to VZ0?

I dont see why not, but involves some manual work...
If you really need it, open a ticket.

There is some reorganizing going on, for the time being most budget offers, as well as super small plans are sold out.
You will have a notice when stock will be back.

3. At first noticed DDoS they will be suspended indefinitely.

how long or forever?
this rule is for all openvz plans or maybe for small plans only?

Hello !

Usually, we dont suspend forever on first DDoS. But we do not offer any DDoS protection and if it happens again, we ask people to move.
In cases where there are DDoS magnet services run on plans that do not allow them, then, indeed, the suspension is unlimited.
On a first time attack, suspension is not happening in normal cases, but the IP is blackholed for a time until we can talk with the user.
There is no difference on how small or big plans are treated.
