75% Off Host1Plus ZA VPS plans!

[shadow_man]

I'm looking to setup my own RocketChat server and because of latency, I wanted a VPS in ZA.

As i've used Host1Plus before, I decided to look for some coupon codes and make use of them again. The best coupon I can find is 75% off, so should you end up deciding to use this code, then please show me some love by signing up via my referral link.

PROMO CODE: VPSZA75
REFERRAL URL: https://affiliates.host1plus.com/ref/jeromeza.html

Thanks!

Ive had a ZA host1plus vps for about 8 months now. It works well but i can't seem to get more than about 10-15Mbps using it as a openVPN server. Anyone tried their vps's hosted elsewhere?

Weird mine hits 50Mbps, sometimes more.

I'm a bit lost at the moment, I'm trying to get CentOS installed using centos-7-x86_64. Then I run the following commands to install the core and base packages.

yum -y update
yum -y groupinstall core
yum -y groupinstall base

After I installed these and I restart it loses all adapters and I can't ssh into the box via it's public IP any longer. I can still use the emergency SSH but I'm not sure what config settings are being changed to fix it.

Guess it's time to do a fresh install. Something must be wrong.

Thanks

Have any of you been able to use the promo code with a second VPS? Or is it limited to once per account?

I've used it with more than one VPS.

I haven't had a chance to redo my openVPN install yet but i ran a few speedtests from the server for those interested.

Hmm so just now after a restart the vps lost internet connectivity again. This is what ifconfig shows and it looks like it's not bringing up the external link.

Any ideas?

CentOS 7 blows when it comes to virtual environments. I used to love CentOS but 7 is a no-go on cloud/VPS so I switched to Debian, much better and have most stuff out-of-the-box unlike CentOS
