Fedora 13 now available
We’ve added Fedora 13 to the available OS templates list:
- Fedora 13 64-bit
- Fedora 13 32-bit
As always, existing customers can reinstall from Hypanel, new customers can choose Fedora 13 in the order form.
We’ve added two Arch Linux operating system templates that you can choose to install on your VPS:
- Arch Linux 2010.05 64-bit Minimal
- Arch Linux 2010.05 32-bit Minimal
You can reinstall your VPS from Hypanel and choose an Arch Linux template. New customers can also choose Arch Linux this on the order form.
We decided to allow all VPS servers to burst to one full CPU. That’s four cores of (at least) 2.67GHz!
In order to have the server nodes run smoothly we’ve implemented a CPU feature that kicks in whenever a node has less than 10-20% of idle CPU and will limit your processor hungry neighbors.
We’ve also increased the disk storage space allocated to each VPS. For instance VPS Start disk storage was increased from 20 GB to 30 GB, check the home page for the modified packages – intovps.com.
All existing VPS’s have already been upgraded. You don’t need to restart your VPS. In fact, you don’t need to do anything but enjoy the new power and storage.

Existing customers can reinstall their VPS from Hypanel or can follow the upgrade steps. New customers can choose the operating system template in the order form.
You can also reinstall your VPS yourself anytime from Hypanel at no extra cost and choose one of our 30 OS templates.
IntoVPS new IRC channel
This year we’ll be creating a community around IntoVPS customers, staff and other tech enthusiasts. A small step that we’ve made is creating an IRC channel.
Join us at:
- IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
- IRC Channel: #intovps
Some other tools will be released later this year.
We’ve just updated Hypanel, our home baked VPS control panel, with the following new graphs:
- number of disk writes and reads
- data volume written and read to/from the disk
- bandwidth graph with in/out
- number of network packets in/out
- % CPU usage
- number of processes+threads
- number of used sockets
- send and receive TCP buffer (bytes)
- used kernel memory
All these are graphs and monitoring period can be customized per hour (current hour, last hour, 2 hours ago etc.), per day (today, yesterday, etc.) or per month.
