  • I would really love to impulse buy this—just wondering what sort of projects I could run on something like this?

    Maybe a Pihole instance? Chat server? Something left of centre? Keen for ideas!

    • I liked the Pi-Hole idea as I currently rely on on device adblockers and using the CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 DNS. However out of curiosity I tested the ping of both from my mobile connection and intitial give me a ~80ms from these Melbourne servers and ~45ms from 1.1.1.1
      I'm in Queensland so it might be understandable but no dice for me sadly.

    • Hey nickeveli,

      Pihole unfortunately won't run on CPanel and IRC/Chat servers are banned on our services.

      Although you can play around with WordPress or install your own PHP application :)

      Thanks,
      Dylan

    • It' a website hosting, you won't be able run your own apps.

  • My Mrs was talking about getting a website for her home business. Suitable to host it on here?

    • Absolutely!

      Thanks,
      Dylan

      Hey morediscount,

      Unfortunately not at the moment. Although ASP is on the horizon :)

      If you are in the market for ASP currently, UpTime have a decent Windows platform: https://uptimewebhosting.com.au/aspnet-shared-website-hostin…

      Thanks,

      • oh ok .. no worries .. was looking for .Net hosting

        • +1

          ASP.net* sorry should have specified. The above link should work perfectly for .net :)

          Thanks,

    Whats the point of NVMe if you set 6 MB/sec I/O Limit

    • This is probably how it is calculated: (500GB Samsung 970 evo plus used as example)
      3500 MB/s ÷ 500 GB = 6 MB/s per GB
      I assume that if you buy 20GB, you will get 20 times the bandwidth allowance.

    • Hi XSidd,

      In the grand scheme of things, NVMe has a higher I/O value meaning there is a far less chance of I/O issues developing down the track.

      For $8/year, 6MB/s I/O is the best price to performance we can offer at this stage and for the majority of small businesses 6MB/s is perfectly acceptable. Obviously we can certainly offer higher I/O if requested but it wont be for $8/year.

      Thanks,
      Dylan

  • Is this forever? Or just first year? Free SSL via Let's Encrypt?

    • Hey,

      Thanks

    • +2

      Yes, it's in the code area at the top of the page (MELB)

  • the code isn't working for me at all…

    • Hey everydayimbargaining,

      Just tried on my end and worked ok. Can you please try again?

      If not, place an order and we will manually apply it for you :)

      Thanks,
      Dylan
