Service Enhancements
Welcome to our latest service update for August. As always, please tell us what is important to you at feedback.ultra.cc as it really does inform our priorities.
We will extend our capacity in Singapore with an additional server and will have another new server deployed in Canada next week. If you are not aware, our main data center is in The Netherlands, but we invested in the two above additional locations for customers who would like to try media streaming from a server closer to home. You can test the speed by downloading a test file:
Canada (Toronto) 10GB test file: http://tor.download.datapacket.com/10000mb.bin
Singapore 10GB test file: http://sgp.download.datapacket.com/10000mb.bin
The Netherlands speed test tool: https://ultra.cc/network-tools/speedtest/
(You can cancel the download when you’ve got an idea of the speed; you don’t need to download all 10GB!)
If you decide you would like to migrate, please raise a support ticket: https://my.ultra.cc/submitticket.php
On the topic of migrations (well, upgrades and downgrades really), please don’t purchase a new service yourself, it’s easier for you and us if you raise a ticket and let us take the pain! More info here: https://docs.ultra.cc/books/getting-help/page/upgrading-or-downgrading-your-service

We’re still offering free Minecraft game server hosting until 1st November when we complete our testing. We recently added Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to our game server library. If you’re interested in Minecraft or Counter-Strike and want to play with friends, give our plans a go. We don’t even ask for your payment card details, so there’s no risk!
