    * Knownhost's RocketVPS

    Hi,
    Knownhost is going to launch their new unmanaged VPS hosting service.
    Its http://www.rocketvps.com/

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

    It would be good to see Paul on this thread.

    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".

    WickedFactor - we have been receiving many emails and they should have all been responded too unless there was one dropped by accident. Please forward it again and mention this WHT thread and we will make sure it's responded to right away.

    Good question. Prices will be lower, technology used will be different, etc. So totally different. Variety of Operating Systems will be available and the option of cPanel of course on the side.

    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)

    Actually we won't be using Xen. Should launch soon though.

    I checked that ticket and see you listed requirements and he said the sister company will offer what you need in terms of RAM, CPU, VPN Support, etc but didn't mention the Technology used. I will talk to him. Sorry about that.

    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 :-)

    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.

    That tweet/post was sent out early. Maybe today but that post will be removed/edited as it seems this was done by accident.

    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....

    I do personally prefer Xen over OpenVZ as well, but VSwap OpenVZ is so much better than the old clunky UBC memory management. I wouldn't mind having a VSwap OpenVZ VPS if everything else is right.
