News on Hosting?

Finalizing the legal and VAT issues.
Price for SP10 will be 250$ for month or 600$ for 3 months - VAT on us in both cases.
We'll offer two months of free hosting for May (SP10) + August (SP30) bundle. The Bundle will be available soon.

Interested, would be great to do have the free-hosting feature on every machine.

When do you expect to have this deal on your website?

Is the two-month free hosting offer special to may/august bundle or for every sp10/sp30 bundle (I have ordered the april/july bundle)?

The previous power bundles enjoyed the benefit of early access to the first batches which are no longer available. To help our customers maintain their profit margins we will be offering the 2 months free hosting only for later bundles.

That said, paid hosting will be available to all customers once the DC is ready

Discounted price + 2 free hosting months... you are penalizing those who trusted you early making them have similar profits as later adopters? Understandable but quite dissapointing.

Hosting plan sounds great... No delivery charge, no VAT, no electricity bill - this could alone could save me $2,240... 6 months hosting at $1,200... I could save $1040 in 6 months...

Is a there an initial set-up cost?

No setup costs, just the hosting price.

Regarding hosting:
You'll be able to order now and add the hosting option later.
The shipment cost will be credited towards the hosting.
Hosting will allow full control of your machine.
At any point, you may decide to terminate hosting and to ship the machine or just disconnect it.
If you'll decide to host, the burn-in tests will be to your wallet.

Only 6 bundles left for April + July
Go http://buyminer.io

Well you said that hosting was an option to April + July bundle and I made a buy based on that decision. I hope there are no problems getting the hosting for April SP10.

Also April + July had free shipping so there are no shipping cost that can be credited but I thought that you were not making more money from us if we decide to host instead of ship and so your post implied that we would get some free hosting as well.

I have the same problem. After contacting my ISP and doing some troubleshooting their hosting provider seems to be blacklisting a bit to many IP's. If I use the TOR browser, I can reach their website just fine. You could try that as well.

~800$ in hosting services actually.

And yeah, can you at least give us an idea if the DC is scheduled to work for April SP10 batch?

I can, but this is not really "user friendly". And a blocked IP is a very bad sign for company's trust...

There will be a solution for April SP10 batch customers who are interested in hosting in our DC.

They are using Shopify, so probably they have no control over provider blocking anything, probably that has a lot more to do with Shopify attempting to block spam attacks to other sites of their network.
Anyway user side it is a really bad user experience.

With another customer, we've tracked the problem to his ISP DNS.

Please try to set your DNS to Google's DNA:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4

Indeed, we're using Shopify e-commerce platform.

That user was me

It's not the DNS. Indeed changing the DNS did help, but after this I contacted my ISP. They use exactly the same DNS, and had no problem whatsoever. When I do a traceroute I can reach every hop, except for the last one. So, probably I am getting blocked, and it isn't a DNS problem. Also at the moments the website does not work, I can still ping it, which resolves to the correct IP.

But it is getting better, the site is working quite often for me now.

Thank you for your feedback. We'll work on a solution with Shopify support.
Our DevOps will PM you later today.

Working right now !!

Anyway, shopify or whatever is not of my concern, i simply see that the website is almost unreachable. Changing the DNS when i want to reach this or this website is simply not a viable solution.

You're correct. We need to track down and solve this problem.
Setting DNS to Google servers is a good practice anyway. You won't need to change back after visiting our store.

i'm at work now, so changing DNS is not possible, and at home my box already point on google DNS.

[Guy Corem]

As a temporary solution, we've set the primary domain to be http://spondoolies.myshopify.com
Please try to access this URL or just http://spminer.io

[SyRenity]

I've just contacted the above two users regarding their connection issues.

Anyone else having any issues reaching the Spondoolies site (http://www.spondoolies-tech.com or http://spminer.io), please PM me and we will sort it out with Shopify ASAP.

Thanks!
