Re: [bitfolk] Double your memory for the same price

I touched on this briefly at: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Memory_upgrade,_May_2017#If_I_choose_to_wait… When this started just under two weeks ago there were three servers which were too full. Now there's two and they're both getting close to being drained enough. But they won't get all the way there without some customers on them volunteering to have their VPSes moved (or if some cancel their service). It helps me to hold the others back too, because when someone asks for their memory upgrade I can make a determination of whether it is best to move them or not. For example, macallan has plenty of spare memory (40GiB in excess of what will be required to double everyone currently on it), but it has almost no storage left. If someone with 100GiB of storage on there asks for their memory upgrade I'd be better off moving them to one of the other servers that has plenty of SSD but little memory, instead of doubling them in-place. It potentially gives me room to put 8 other customers back onto macallan in their place. At the same time, I don't want to deny anyone their memory upgrade if they want it, as it is something that new customers can get right now. So anyone who asks will get it, perhaps with a move between servers required. I think it will be best to stick to that plan for at least a couple of weeks yet, as otherwise there may be some customers on those two servers who will be stuck. I may not be able to move them because the servers with spare memory won't have enough spare storage. In the mean time if you want the memory upgrade just ask and you will get it - but maybe with a move to another server being required. At some point the remaining upgrades will be done in-place and you will just need to reboot. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
