Larger storage for MiniVPS128 - Japan

Not sure anyone has talked about this but. I just bought the Japan VPS and was going to install everything I need for my project, I realized the space is almost filled up. Would it be nice if the storage increase from 1GB to 2GB?

Space is a premium in japan because the node is Nested in a Vultr KVM so that is not something I could do, the servers are sold based almost entirely on disk space so you would be paying another €3.00 just for a GB of disk space which I cant imagine anyone would be happy with.

Well that explained everything. One sort of stupid question, if I get a another Japan VPS, is it possible to merge the storage together to 2GB?

I drew a line in the sand almost from day 1 about merging servers for a number of reasons so that is a no sorry.

I wish i could be more flexible but in most cases it is going to be a take it as you find it service.

@arronlim13, what OS are you using and how much space is left after a fresh install ?

@Backtogeek, is it possible to mount (sshfs) external drives on it ?

that requires fuse which is not currently possible to automate due to solusvm limitations.

About 700MB left after fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install. 73.54 MB left after installed everything I need.
