HostHatch VPSes for transfer

Daniel · January 28, 2021, 6:29am

I’ve got the following HostHatch VPSes available for transfer as I no longer need them. Note that they charge $5 for transfers:

~~1. London storage~~ (gone)
500 GB space
1 GB RAM
2 TB monthly transfer
$22/year
Renews on 28th November 2021

Asking for $17 for the VPS (which is less than the price of 10 months, so you essentially get a few weeks free) + $5 transfer fee = $22 total

They have an internal network in each location, so you can mount the disk from the storage VPS on the NVMe VPS using NFS. I’m doing this and it’s working great

The reason I no longer need them is:

I originally got the London storage because by the time I saw their Black Friday flash sales, it was the only storage VPS left in stock.
I got the Chicago storage later when they had another flash sale and restocked it. Used it and it was good.
I picked up a Chicago NVMe VPS to pair with the storage one for things that need heavy compute (like PhotoStructure) and to speed up my Seafile instance (storing its database on an NVMe disk makes a large difference!)
Recently they restocked a 10TB storage VPS in Los Angeles, which is a better location for me, so I moved everything from Chicago to LA.

Disk performance in Chicago is around 4x better than Los Angeles, at least according to the fio benchmark in YABS, so I’m still a bit torn about moving. Oh well.

Just note that their support can be quite slow to reply, so I’m not sure how long the transfer will actually take

I’ve done other transfers to @Wolveix and @Scott in the past so they can attest to my legitimacy.

I’ll take this!

skorous · January 28, 2021, 5:14pm

Those were 500gig? I thought they were 250.

Daniel · January 28, 2021, 6:52pm

They had 250 GB for $17/year, 500 GB for $22/year, 1 TB for $30/year and 2 TB for $40/year in the flash sale. You can see the original post here: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3161948/#Comment_3161948. The ‘regular’ Black Friday sale (non-flash sale) was 1 TB for $40/year or 3 TB for $84/year.

Scott · January 29, 2021, 12:02pm

Wholeheartedly recommend transfers from @Daniel. Very helpful during the process

Daniel · January 29, 2021, 9:12pm

@flips is getting the London 500 GB storage. Chicago 2 TB and Chicago NVMe are both still available

root · January 29, 2021, 11:39pm

Chicago Storage - I will take it. Thanks.

Daniel · February 4, 2021, 6:07pm

Chicago storage and London storage have been successfully transferred.

Chicago NVMe is still available. Less than $6/month for 16GB RAM, 80GB NVMe space and 10 Gb/s networking is a good deal! I’ve got an identical server in Los Angeles that I’m keeping and it’s working well.

Falzo · February 5, 2021, 7:10pm

( @Daniel sorry for hijacking… )

but I too have a 2TB chicago storage (yearly!) that I just decided to let go, if anyone is interested. performance is great, but I simply overbought on storage in BF/christmas and rather keep the european ones because latency/network speed

so details are:

~~Chicago storage~~ (gone)
2 TB space
4 GB RAM
6 TB monthly transfer
$40 yearly (~$1.67/TB/month)
Renews on 28th November 2021

Asking for $30 including whatever transfer fee comes up (haven’t asked yet).

let me know if you want it

edit: gone.

Daniel · February 5, 2021, 7:21pm

No worries

Transfer fee is $5.

Wolveix · February 5, 2021, 7:51pm

If only it was in Europe

Falzo · February 5, 2021, 8:55pm

yeah they had them later in london as well… only after I bought chicago already

plumberg · February 6, 2021, 3:33am

Same happened with me. Immediately put a ticket explaining the issue. Was ok to keep if they weren’t willing to switch location… but they were kind enough to honor the same… just saying

Daniel · February 6, 2021, 3:45am

I wanted to move my 10TB VPS from Los Angeles to Chicago since the disk read/write speeds are faster in Chicago and London (the Los Angeles deployment is a bit older, with older hardware) and they couldn’t accommodate it due to the large size (the 10TB plans were intentionally only offered in very limited quantities on unbalanced nodes) Oh well.

Falzo · February 6, 2021, 12:15pm

I thought about asking for that, however they were quite busy, so I did not really want to bother with it. they accomodated other upgrade requests for me, so I can imagine they would have moved it as well.

probably could still ask about it being moved - yet I really don’t need it anymore and it would be a shame letting it go to waste

Offering for transfer a small storage VPS from HostHatch.

CPU: 1 core
RAM: 480mb
HDD: 245gb
Bandwidth: 1100gb per month
Location: Chicago
Yearly price of VPS: $15
Renewal: 10 September, yearly

I ask $10 with transfer fee included (this means $5 + $5 transfer fee).

And because we all love benchmarks…
