[ANN] Swyfte Hosting | Toronto Cloud Servers (KVM) for Bitcoin

Swyfte - the Bitcoin KVM cloud virtualization platform

Swyfte is an hourly billing virtualization platform in Toronto featuring rapid virtual machine deployment and high uptime at affordable prices. We offer a wide range of plans to suit your needs, and use enterprise-grade CPUs and disks to provide high performance for your virtual machines.

With hourly billing, you can create or destroy virtual machines at any time, and then only pay for the hours that the VMs were used for. This allows you to provision test containers or scale your web application without having to pay for a month per container. The service is prepaid, and we accept Bitcoin via Coinbase.

All virtual machines come with a 1gbps network port and feature redundant storage on a Ceph RADOS cluster. You get full root access to the virtual machine. A private IP address is provided that can be used for unmetered internal traffic (i.e., communication between Swyfte virtual machines that doesn't count towards the bandwidth limit).

Note that all Swyfte services are unmanaged. Outgoing SMTP traffic is disabled by default. Additionally, hardware resources are shared among VMs, so we do not allow excessive CPU usage and disk loads for extended periods; RAM and storage space are of course dedicated to your VM instance though.

Various templates are available to image your VM from:

CentOS 7 64-bit
Debian 7.6 32-bit

About

We are firm believers in the right to privacy, the inevitability of cryptocurrency dominance, and the necessity of free software. We take privacy very seriously -- we have a strong privacy policy, and only require a username and password (along with an optional email address) to get started. Our small staff team consists of experienced developers, system administrators, and software engineers; we are constantly monitoring our infrastructure to ensure maximal uptime and developing new tools to help you manage your virtual machines. We plan to roll out custom images and live snapshots within the next few weeks.

We're also always open to feedback; just email us at sales@swyfte.com! (Also direct any questions you have about our services to that address; or simply post in this topic.)
