New VPS Node with 64 CPU Cores

1 Comment on New VPS Node with 64 CPU Cores

Until now we have been using Dual Xeon 5680 or similar CPU for our VPS Nodes but these CPU had 6 Cores in each CPU and with hyper threading it increases to 12 Virtual Cores per CPU so basically we were getting in total 24 CPU Cores Per VPS Node which means multiple VPS were sharing same CPU Core but since we were using Xeon 5680 CPU due to it’s high Clock Speed of upto 3.3 Ghz it was not affecting VPS Performance, but now our new VPS Node will with Quad AMD Opteron 6380 CPU.

AMD Opteron 6380 CPU comes with 16 Core Per CPU and since we are using Quad we will get total 16 x 4 = 64 CPU Cores

But clock speed of this CPU is 2.5 Ghz and not 3.3 Ghz. But now since we got a lot more CPU core per VPS Node it means that a CPU Core will be hardly shared among multiple VPS, most of the times all VPS Will get a dedicated CPU Core which means better performance even though it’s clock speed is a little slow then our current VPS Node. This new VPS Node is costlier then our current VPS Node setup, but we want to keep improving quality of service without increasing the price hence we are doing this change.

We expect our new VPS Node to be ready by next week, it will not affect any existing customer, but once our current VPS Nodes are full all new VPS will be setup on our new VPS Nodes.

We will be still using KVM Virtualisation with Pure SSD RAID 10 setup for best performance.

Stay away from AMD EPYC based VPS Providers

Leave a Comment on Stay away from AMD EPYC based VPS Providers

Some german researches have found a flaw in the AMD EPYC CPU architecture and were able to read all data of VPS hosted with AMD EPYC based CPU, and it seems currently there is no patch for it so it’s best to stay away from it for now, more information is available at:

We at Hosteons are not using AMD EPYC CPU, we are using Dual XEONS for VPS Hosting

Free upgrade to Gigabit port for all VPS (Beta)

Leave a Comment on Free upgrade to Gigabit port for all VPS (Beta)

We have temporarily removed the 100Mbps cap from all VPS, if you think your VPS is still capped at 100Mbps, please just reboot it once from your VPS control panel and it should switch to full unmetered Gigabit Port, but please note we are just testing with Gigabit port, if we find that giving uncapped Gigabit port is affecting overall performance of our VPS services then we may again cap it to 100Mbps unmetered but for now all VPS should work on Gigabit Port

Alipay now accepted for all our hosting services

Leave a Comment on Alipay now accepted for all our hosting services

we accept alipay

We have got approval from Alipay and we are now able to accept payments via Alipay which is very popular in China.

Our VPS servers are already on China optimised network and now we can even accept payments via Alipay.

There is a restriction by Alipay which allows us to accept payments only in currency local to our country, due to which we will be accepting payments via Alipay in SGD (Singapore Dollar) and not USD. There is no change for clients as all clients will placing order in USD but at the time of payment our system will automatically convert the payment amount SGD from USD
