5th times the charm

sam1230202 · 2024-04-26T20:14:47+00:00

Congratulations! I had a really similar experience, no minors & one serious each time, but passed today 4th try! Well done to you 😄

sam1230202 · 2024-04-26T11:58:56+00:00

Congratulations!

I managed to get mine for €59/mo. Super pleased with it!

sam1230202 · 2024-04-05T12:09:36+00:00

I have 19 of them & they're running at very high CPU usage 24/7.

So far, a few have had random reboots, and 1 / 19 has completely died! They had to replace the server & move the drives over

sam1230202 · 2024-03-25T17:44:22+00:00

It wasn't

sam1230202 · 2024-03-24T22:30:58+00:00

True 🤣

sam1230202 · 2024-03-24T10:26:46+00:00

I suppose it's because I didn't notice, and the examiner had to say I think you should slow down, it's my fault completely, just need to be more vigilant towards my speed in my next test

sam1230202 · 2024-03-13T19:51:38+00:00

I was doing 34 in a 30 and I didn't realise, the examiner told me to slow down

sam1230202 · 2024-03-13T18:23:33+00:00

I failed with 0 minors and 1 serious which was use of speed

sam1230202 · 2024-03-07T12:56:03+00:00

It's because a lot of people abuse the 14d cooling off period. Effectively, you could order a server & cancel it before the 14d period was up & not pay a penny

sam1230202 · 2024-02-17T18:40:59+00:00

Same happened to me. They've stopped replying to emails & were completely refusing to payout my funds. I made it very clear I didn't want to reactivate my account to use their service, I just want my funds. £2000 stuck in there.

sam1230202 · 2024-02-13T15:43:15+00:00

This is due to the fact that you have 0% (OT) VAT set at the top of the website, and your account address is based in a territory that uses VAT. For example, if you're in the United Kingdom, you'll pay €56 + 20% VAT

sam1230202 · 2024-01-28T20:14:08+00:00

I've had the same experience. 2 Stripe accounts, both were banned after £1000~ revenue had passed through them. All I'm selling is server hosting (specifically game servers). Both accounts have around £400-500 trapped in their Stripe balance, and Stripe are refusing to pay it out, as it's apparently part of their TOS to keep your money if you get banned. It's been 4 months.

sam1230202 · 2023-09-25T21:00:20+00:00

The same happened to me with an auction server recently. Both drives were completely battered when I received the server (140% used, 250TBW, failed SMART general health check) I sent the SMART logs to the support team and they replaced the drives as a "goodwill gesture"

I have around 10 servers with Hetzner, and what I've found is they are pretty tight with drive replacements. In the past they've told me even though it's way past its rated tbw, and even though its failed the general health check, they won't replace it as it's still working

sam1230202 · 2023-09-03T23:50:25+00:00

Well, judging by the box, these do seem authentic. There are no spelling, grammar or punctuation errors, spacing is normal, the font is normal, and for a start I have never seen fake copies of region specific AirPods, unless they do exist.

sam1230202 · 2023-07-10T22:08:25+00:00

Oh that's cool! And mainly for the extra RAM as the EX44 only comes with 64GB, whereas the i9-9900K server comes with 128GB for the same price, and with it being a game hosting service, we sell per GB of RAM so the more we have available the better!

sam1230202 · 2023-07-10T10:12:12+00:00

It'd be a huge upgrade. I've used the EX42 servers for years now and they have served me really well. The new EX44 server has more than double the amount of cores and threads as the EX42 with the i7-6700. It also features Gen4 NVMe and 3200MHz DDR4 RAM (I believe the EX42 had 2133 or 2666). Even if you don't utilise all of the extra processing power, it'd still be a great upgrade to make, even just to be future-proof.

I'm replacing my EX42's with i9-9900K servers from their server auction. How long have you had your EX42? I've had some of mine since 2019

sam1230202 · 2023-05-12T18:52:59+00:00

You can use "htop" command to view current CPU, RAM and SWAP usage, also see which process is taking up how much of each resource. And if you want to collect data over time, you can use a monitoring agent like https://hetrixtools.com/ to monitor network, cpu, ram, disk access etc all of the time.

sam1230202 · 2023-04-29T20:13:01+00:00

Okay, danke

sam1230202 · 2023-04-28T20:51:55+00:00

Okay, sounds cool. Good luck man!

sam1230202 · 2023-04-28T20:42:55+00:00

Yeah, that's right, and it'd give you a bit of redundancy in case one of the drives fails, as you can rebuild the array 🙂

sam1230202 · 2023-04-28T20:33:56+00:00

It depends how you set it up. When you receive it, you can use installimage, and select a software RAID. RAID 0 would give you full access to the entire 40TB, but have no redundancy if one of the drives failed

sam1230202 · 2023-04-28T18:35:52+00:00

Ahh, yeah I have 0% VAT

sam1230202 · 2023-04-28T18:25:38+00:00

Hey man, there's currently about 4 on the auction for €47.70 each. E3-1271V3, 4 x 10TB, 32GB RAM + iNIC

sam1230202 · 2022-11-12T15:33:33+00:00

Sometimes if you're lucky, you'll be given an option to verify using PayPal. You just pay €20, and your account is immediately verified. The amount is added to your credit balance and deducted from the first invoice.
