We’re currently sold out on the VPS Pro line - but new hardware is on it’s way

Yesterday we ran out of hardware on the VPS Pro line on VPSForce. But today we recieved new hardware and it’s waiting to get deployed. Later this evening, customers who’ve signed up on a pro VPS will get their VPS delivered - a little later than promised unfortunately. But we try to keep up with the signups.

[DK] Vi er blevet gazelle i år!

I fredags modtog vi den gode nyhed:

Tillykke med den flotte vækst

Jeg vil gerne ønske dig hjerteligt tillykke med, at din virksomhed i år bliver udnævnt som gazellevirksomhed.

Vi troede ikke det var lykkedes for os at komme med, eftersom det er over et halvt år siden vi blev kontaktet af Greens analyseinstitut og “advaret” om at det kunne ske. Men det lykkedes altså. Nu mangler vi bare det fysiske bevis: Gazellediplomet.

Special offer on VPSForce - 50% off the normal price!

We’re now offering our VPS product at 50% off the normal price in a limited time period. The new site has been up for 2 weeks now, and we’re so happy about it. So happy, that we drop the price so it’s even more affordable for you to get your own VPS, running Windows or Linux. Order while it lasts!

Upgrade your VPS-X to Lenny

If you are an existing customer and rents a VPS-S, VPS-M or VPS-L (the standard line of our VPS product), you may want to upgrade to Debian Lenny (5.0). It should be a simple task - just follow the guidelines from Debian when you do it. You may run into problems with libc6, and this link discusses the problem, and also has a solution.

New productsite launched - vpsforce.eu

Today we’re proud to announce, that we have launched our first, productspecific website: VPSForce. This is the site you want to go to, if you need to rent a Virtual Private Server - wether it’s Linux or Windows based. You get full access (root on Linux and Administrator on Windows), and you’re free to install whatever you want on it, as long as it’s not illegal.

Those of you who already have rented a VPS from us know, that we’ve used the domain vpsforce.eu for our VPS’s in a long time. This launch show where we want to go with this product, and todays launch is not the last thing you’ll hear about VPSForce, I assure you.

Please take your time to visit the site, and tell us what you think! Or even better: Sign up for your own, fast VPS today!

New status site up

We have finally got a status site up, where you can get info about the status of our network, products and services. The site can be seen at http://status.fab-it.dk

New productspecific site coming soon

I’m very excited to say, that we’ll launch a new website, dedicated to one specific product, soon. It will be a very simple site, but also have a strong indication in which direction we’re heading.

So, keep following us here on the blog, and you’ll see the announcement soon!

Slow migration of Xen-based Windows VPS

Last week I had to move one of our Windows VPS’s from one xen server to another. Now we use LVM and not files as backend for the the VPS disks so I couldn’t use a simple copy of a diskfile from server to server. And I couldn’t rely on the NTFS support in Linux, to complete the copy on a file by file basis, directly from the VPS filesystem on the old server, to the new one on the new server. Instead I chose to use dd over SSH to move it. Here’s the command I ran:

dd bs=1k if=/dev/xenvolume/vps01-disk conv=sync,noerror \
| gzip -c | ssh -c blowfish new.xen.server "gunzip - | \
dd of=/dev/xenvolume/vps01-disk bs=1k"

With a VPS with a 25GB disk, it took about 22 minutes to complete the move. It’s a method I can recommend if you haven’t got storage shared between your xenservers.
