(Quote) (Spoiler) Unfortunately, this reflects a broader issue in the industry where naming conventions prioritize marketing appeal over geographic accuracy. It's not unique to San Jose—many providers use the name of a major city or region for con…

(Quote) Based on the discussion, here's the answer to @cybertech's question: San Jose is often not exactly "San Jose" when it comes to data center locations. For example: * @VirMach clarified that their San Jose data center (SJC3) is act…

(Quote) Here’s a summary of the discussion among the forum users: Key Themes: "NYC Metro" Terminology Debate: * @ususk questioned the validity of calling Secaucus, NJ part of the "NYC Metro" area, asserting it's either NYC or …

(Quote) Without any context it's funnier. Like woah calm down I was just trying to provide an update on PHXZ004.

Day 3's are done outside of the four I have to wait/re-evaluate later. For reference, just so you know in case you're one of these: (Quote) Don't worry you're on a spreadsheet and I won't forget about you. Day 4/5 have gotten their day 5 prizes. W…

(Quote) We're in SJC3 Evocative. That name is given by Evocative, it's in Santa Clara. Add another provider to your naughty list.

(Quote) You linked two different datacenters. New York City 1 is their Staten Island. JFK1 is their Newark. Here. https://www.datacenters.com/hivelocity-jfk1-newark-nj I can't find it on their website outside their LG. Maybe it's a location they'r…
-
(Quote) We're moving the goalpost all the way to another datacenter to win an argument? By the way, you have no problem with them calling it JFK1 when it's in Newark? Please tag them and ask them to change the name to EWR1. They're naming it after …

(Quote) Did you miss the rest of my reply? That was a ping comparison. To the closest edge location (well not closest edge to Staten Island, but then we wouldn't be comparing anything, it'd just be the closest location to each respective datacenter,…
-
(Quote) Okay now I know you're just being facetious, you had to switch to their Virginia location to get a lower ping since if you went with NYC, we'd be lower. To NYC Cloudfront: Hivelocity PING 108.139.47.34 (108.139.47.34): 56 data bytes!!!!!!…

(Quote) To be objective and show how traffic that flows to another city will likely have to pass through 60 Hudson. (Quote) That's not to NYC though. That's to Newark, New Jersey, which is closer to Staten Island. I thought your concern here was it…

(Quote) EWR is Newark. Our LG for Los Angeles is LAX but it's technically not at LAX, it's about a block away. Chicago's not even in Chicago, it's in Elk Grove Village, even though it's in the Chicago metro area. You make a good point, we should pro…

(Quote) 4 & 5.

(Quote) Is it better to be "technically NYC" and further away than what most people would envision as NYC, or be non-technically NYC by being in the NYC Metro area and closer, as well as closer to the communication hub where most internet …
-
(Quote) There is NYC Metro area though. Nevermind just read Kris's answer it's way better than mine.
-
(Quote) That's this one, just in case anyone couldn't already guess from the wall of text it is and I said I would maybe give you guys a warning before it happens for any of them that would require additional participation. So there's your warning, …

(Quote) You may or may not be receiving a mystery prize.

I'm combining day 4 & 5 together since they kind of got pushed together. I'm also ending it early as we're still not done with day 3. So if you ordered since the last candle expired until the expiry right now, you get a combination. I'll do #5 …

(Quote) Update on PHXZ004. Everything finished moving, the replacement server that's been stable and unused for months crashed after I was about to finalize it (during IP changes.) This has happened one other time before, it's the most infuriating t…
-
(Quote) I think the IP pricing portion of the code is broken, I've seen a few of them here and there that are priced pretty nonsensically but it's hard to know for sure since a lot of these prices don't make a lot of sense. (Quote) I'll go through …
-
(Quote) I'd only recommend that with AUP addon but I'm assuming you already have it. Right now what we're trying is reducing suspension fee and being a little more lenient. Not really working out too well so far. It depends on what kind of abuse I …
-
(Quote) Okay I've figured it out. It turns out that this node has way too many IP addresses, and I'm completely flipping my logic. We're selling plans based on how they are now, not how they might be, and it has 130 of them. That's so many. We'll ne…

(Quote) Probably Iran. (Quote) Trying to wrap these up first.

Our first Amsterdam and first real disappointment of the night. Oh I feel bad doing this, I thought I wouldn't feel bad but... okay I know what I'll do. This is one of the nodes that's part of the upcoming changes in Amsterdam I described some pages…

(Quote) Power off, reinstall.

Chicago. This might end up being the weirdest one so far I actually have no idea. We had a bunch of high IP deals on it and now it's out of IPs and everything almost completely. Okay hmm... I know I just said almost out of IPs but somehow this makes…
-
Back to Miami. Okay this server has a ton of IP addresses and is pretty empty, someone is about to finally have a bad day. Oh it's still working out to be pretty okay. I think this one was @Kris (Quote) Is that the worst one we've had so far? I gue…

Another San Jose, will we get a dud? Nope doesn't look like it. After all these I'm definitely not going to feel bad for the first 512MB 10GB we hit. Okay, all out of San Jose. (Quote)

Pretty good lucky streak in San Jose. Alright now it's @FrankZ let's see if it continues. Uhoh, memory not looking good but lots of IPs. This is going to be a weird one. Oh right I know what I'd do in this situation. Yep looks like the system did so…
-
Next up... okay this one is one I would have normally skipped because it's low on resources but I'll proceed as if I have to do it, I'm not sure how it'll end up. For reference this last sold at $8.74 a year on December 23rd or so and the specs were…
-
So for this one I think it'll actually be more fun if I post the offers by node. This way you'll know if I'm working on it sooner and know exactly whether or not yours got done and what it was. I'll post them as if they're flash sales, so you'll als…

Alright, third day sale is over. Okay before I reveal what the mystery is, two big disclaimers. (1) It will be done exactly how it's described which means a lot of chance is involved in this one so do not get your hopes up, and (2) there's a chance…
-
I'll be placing this out of stock early today as well, let's say in 15 minutes. With the PHXZ004 migration, everything else, as well as this one being ordered more and it being more time consuming to process, and needing sleep, I think now would be …

(Quote) This is based off my memory so it could be completely wrong. * VF - $18/mo per server * HB - $5000 one-time for ultra deluxe super bundle plus $X per year for support * Prox - $15/mo * SVM1 - $10/mo * MG - $300/yr * Virt - $8/mo * SVM2 - do…

Just received PHXZ004 & it's alive. It wasn't a 10 second fix but it's would have been doable for QN LAX as suspected. Excited to finally use my 1Gbit upload speed from home (they also offer 5Gbit synchronous but I'm too cheap to do that right n…

(Quote) There's was a secret prize if you collect all eight days. I feel like no one's able to do it anymore as I don't remember seeing someone order day one and two, so I feel safe saying that now. To be clear though I was still in the stages of co…
