Scientific Linux 6 32 bit and 64 bit OS templates are now available.
As always, for new VPS systems you can choose Scientific Linux in the order form, for existing VPS’es you can reinstall from Hypanel -> Machine setting tab.
We’re hiring a full time Python & Django web developer to work on site from our office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Job ad (in Romanian): http://www.elvsoft.com/cariere.
We decided to allow all VPS servers to burst to one full CPU. That’s four cores of (at least) 2.67GHz!
In order to have the server nodes run smoothly we’ve implemented a CPU feature that kicks in whenever a node has less than 10-20% of idle CPU and will limit your processor hungry neighbors.
We’ve also increased the disk storage space allocated to each VPS. For instance VPS Start disk storage was increased from 20 GB to 30 GB, check the home page for the modified packages – intovps.com.
All existing VPS’s have already been upgraded. You don’t need to restart your VPS. In fact, you don’t need to do anything but enjoy the new power and storage.
After publishing the safe upgrade steps to Ubuntu 10.04 a few days ago we have now released the Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit templates.
Existing customers can reinstall their VPS from Hypanel or can follow the upgrade steps. New customers can choose the operating system template in the order form.
You can also reinstall your VPS yourself anytime from Hypanel at no extra cost and choose one of our 30 OS templates.
We’ve just updated Hypanel, our home baked VPS control panel, with the following new graphs:
number of disk writes and reads
data volume written and read to/from the disk
bandwidth graph with in/out
number of network packets in/out
% CPU usage
number of processes+threads
number of used sockets
send and receive TCP buffer (bytes)
used kernel memory
All these are graphs and monitoring period can be customized per hour (current hour, last hour, 2 hours ago etc.), per day (today, yesterday, etc.) or per month.
Starting today all our customers get free DNS hosting with any VPS package. We’ve added the DNS zones editor to Hypanel. You can host up to 50 DNS zones at no extra cost.
DNS is geographically redundant with one name server in Europe and one in USA.
