Knownhost's RocketVPS
Hi,
Knownhost is going to launch their new unmanaged VPS hosting service.

From many months, the page is showing launching soon status.
Anybody know when they are going to launch ?

I think they will do pretty good in the unmanaged market. I guess time will tell if they can compete with the mighty Linode
Would you just look at that...

I wonder how it is going to be different though. If you do not buy a Cpanel ($5) from the current KH plans they are termed "unmanaged" anyways
Ah perhaps they would be cheaper ?

Hopefully they'll be cheaper with smaller plans than they have right now at KnownHost, and they'll give you the option to reload the OS. I wonder if they'll stick to Virtuozzo SLM.
In any case, I did send them an email about ETA and pricing a few weeks ago with no response. Maybe they'll chime in here.

I find KnownHosts managed pricing to be very good, should be VERY interesting to see how this pans out.

Thanks everyone for showing interest in the new sister company that will launch soon. The ETA is "very soon".

Apparently they will launch this week. I was asking for a service from them and they replied that they do not offer such services but their sister site will. Was informed they will launch this week and told to check the website as early as Tuesday. Also, looks like they will use XEN ( since that is what I asked for ).
KnownHost, please don't be mad for posting this As you know, rumor mill does wonders for marketing (just look at Apple)

He mentioned Knownhost does not use Xen or support VPN, but on the sister site "we do allow VPN's and offer exactly what you need". by exactly what I need I interpreted all of my requirements including Xen.
Still, it is not really important. Was just a sales question and he was kind enough to upsell the sister site even though it did not launch yet (I never knew about it but now I am very interested in it). So I am not upset in any way, I am actually happy with the communication in that ticket. Xen rumor crashed I still can't wait to see your new service. I have quite a few clients at knownhost (many recommended by me ) and if your new servers are as stable (no doubt they will be), then I will have one more site to recommend to my clients!

I think KH should go some kind of Countdown Grand Openings. I am sure People will start guying it.
KH should provide some kind of discount which will last only for 24 hours once website will be launched. Well thats my opinion.
I am very excited. Proud to be a Knownhoster :-)██ Website Hosting Mumbai | Web Hosting India

One of the worst things that can happen on launch is an overload of orders... That delays customer support, sales support and might cause more issues, which usually leads to questions about service quality ( over 90% of people only say something when they are unhappy, a fact most users here know all too well ) A countdown will do just that, create a huge spike at the launch and I would guess that this is the reason why there is no announced date.

Too bad it's OpenVZ that they will be offering. I have never been a big fan of OpenVZ and prefer Xen over that. Oh well....
