This is to announce that the speed cap or speed limit will be remove from all our VPS plans with immediate effect. This is to let each of the customers share the full 100mbps port for their VPS without capping, smoother speed for their VPS and burstable up to full 100mbps.

However, this is the nature of VPS hosting, all the users are shared with the single port with full speed. The speed may depends on the number of user use the bandwidth simutanuously. The maximum speed may drop when few users use in the same time. But, we will limit the number of VPS per node, so that everyone can enjoy the best effort maximum speed!

Enjoy!

This is come to the situation where all the data is not recoverable and we’re offering all the affected clients to shift to our xen node as temporary or permanent solutions.
Pleas contact out support if you interested to shift to our Xen node.

We’re regretably that our OpenVZ Node (Germany), filesystem and data is permanent corrupted. This is due to the filesystem is unstable and always throw us with error. Under unwanted situation we have to reboot and run fsck to check the filesystem. Unfortunately, during the fsck stage, the inode map is damaged and can’t recover.

As such, we sincerely apology on the incident cause.

The node has been online and restored.
If you still face connection issue, please open ticket to our support.
Compensation will be credit to your account due to this downtime.

Weekly special offer is coming back!

Hurry up! signup today @  https://chhost.net/vip/cart.php?gid=23

All VPS should back online now.
Initial investigation we suspect the drop of packet caused by the ip conflict among the subnets. However, we didn’t receive confirmation from data center yet.
Should you still face any problem to login to your VPS, please open ticket to our support again.  Pro-rated compensation will be credited directly to client account.

We are encountered downtime at Germany node due to filesystem error after reboot.

We are running fsck now to check the issues involved. However, we don’t have estimated completion at this moment before we get the actual cause of this.

Any client affected on this server, please check this blog for latest updates.

Solusvm just released new version of VPS control panel 1.2.1o which support the custom kernel under xen pv.

” PyGrub support for Xen PV.
PyGrub enables you to start Linux DomUs with the kernels that lie in the filesystem of the DomU instead of with a Kernel that lies in the filesystem of the Dom0. This enables easier kernel update from DomU.” - http://blog.soluslabs.com/

So, how to setup your pygrub in centos and debian VPS? Please follow this instruction originated from Solusvm Wiki:
Inside the Debian VPS run this:

aptitude install linux-image-2.6-xen-amd64 grub
mkdir /boot/grub
echo “(hd0) /dev/sda” > /boot/grub/device.map
mknod /dev/sda b 202 0
update-grub

That’s it…

You can have your own kernel now.

Inside the CentOS VPS run:

yum install kernel-xen grub
ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst

Once thats done you need to check the menu.lst and make sure it matches the kernel files inside /boot:
#ls -l /boot

Ready to go…..

We had recently ordered new server in Falkenstein, Germany. This is mainly the expansion plan to cover the customers from Europe countries. This will give better latency and reduce the route to EU countries.

With this expansion, we ordered server with Hetzner AG, one of the large dedicated hosting provider in Germany with full automation to the end user including of OS reload, emergency rescue….etc. Below is our server spec:

Server Spec
Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quadcore @ 2.66GHz with Hyper-Threading Technology
12 GB DDR3 RAM
1500 GB SATA-II HDD with RAID 1
1 GBit OnBoard NIC connected at 100 MBit (unfortunately Hetzner didn’t provide with 1GE, yet)

You can get the details of the server here http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/eq6/

With this expansion, we are now able to serve the EU customer who which to have closer VPS node to their base and we believe with this hardware node, we able to serve the needs of each customers!
