Hello LET!
You might be happy to hear (if you are one of the people who has requested this feature countless times) that Internal Networking has finally been deployed on our global "cloud" KVM infrastructure. The MaxKVM Internal Network is now online wordwide and all KVMs are able to communicate over the private internal network in each individual datacenter (no matter the host node in the DC).
Since the main internal network spans all datacenters in the USA, all virtual machines in the Los Angeles, Dallas, and/or New York datacenters are able to communicate with each other using Internal IPs (though Amsterdam and Singapore internal networks are limited to their respective DCs).
Please feel welcome to ping/trace to and from Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York internal IPs using one of our Looking Glass pages:
http://lg.lax.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.16.0.10
http://lg.dfw.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.17.0.10
http://lg.nyc.maxkvm.net | Internal Test IP: 172.18.0.10
While you're there, try out the new "screenshot" and "ttfb" commands. These were useful for us to diagnose geographic network and other technical issues while we configured a new anycast HA cluster for maxkvm.com, so we thought these features might also be helpful to some of you.
Internal Networking is available to all current and new subscribers. Please open a ticket and we will configure your system(s) on the internal network ASAP!
What new feature should we deploy next? Comment or send a PM
Now that all the boring info is out of the way, let's talk about Rampart..
HOLIDAY DISCOUNTS!
From now until 1/1/21, we will have new promotions every single day that activate automatically every 24 hours. The promotion code is the date and you will need to search through different products with different billing cycles to find the daily discount.
As an example, today's promotional code is 12-18-2020 (for 30% off the SKVM-** on *** billing cycle) and tomorrow's code is 12-19-2020 (but you will need to find the discounted service.) The next day's code will be 12-20-2020, and this will continue until the end of 1/1/21 (PST).
Some of these offers are massive recurring discounts and will be extremely limited. Good luck!

Note:
If you noticed that our site was offline in the past week or so, we have completely migrated away from Cloudflare DNS/Proxy/Caching and replaced it with... Cloudflare (Magic Transit). The maxkvm.com site is now running with triple replication and optimizations for High Availability. Thank you for your patience in the few moments the main website was offline in the past week. We may have over-engineered this project and there were a few bugs to iron out, but everything is running extremely well now. 
Note:
Our current users will report that we are incredibly responsive to support requests and that we monitor our systems very closely. Many have heard from us and have had their system(s) interrupted and/or suspended due to resource abuse. Please understand all the resources in these plans are fair share and although machines can always burst to use 100% of allocated resources, systems detected running with a constant 100% utilization of CPU, Disk I/O, and/or Network could be issued a power cycle, hard shutdown, and/or suspension with or without prior notice depending on the severity of abuse. Communication detailing the reason(s) for interruption will always be sent. These rules and procedures are in place to ensure uptime and performance for all guest systems and host services. More information can be found in our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
