Since my way of defining words is really trashy, I'll use Google's..

Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

Basically trying to be something that you're not, trying to act big when in reality you're not that big etc.

They're cheap. If you have more $ maybe you should try.

Its been up and down since I got it , IO was about 40 MB/s so he moved me to a new node which then made the vm kernel panic and he blamed me...

However it works now after 4 days of packet loss and downtime.

Xen or KVM? If you read LEB comments it seems most have praise for Xen and no praise for KVM

They do not have the cleanest past.

That was posted by another host however, all of it is backed up by screenshots of Avante's posts.

Far from they started last year but in the minecraft community.

Most if not all the dead poolers are rented services , Avantehosting has their own AS and equipment.

He blamed you for causing kernel panic after he migrated the VPS? O.o

For your server I actually further looked into it by starting the VM on the old node as-well and it seemed to kernel panic too. As said to everyone we know the i/o was not great on KVM-1 so we decided to move everyone to KVM-3.

I didn't see any packetloss and downtime however.

avantehostinglies.com was put up by another host, as we took many sales from them. The owner of that had a Minecraft sever from us for quite a while, I asked him politely to take it down in which he did.

Phil funny how you would post that link. As Ben/Bradley set that blog up.

ChrisK

This was about a year ago as-well, and of course I've learned a lot in a year. This was also during the dark days. We were quite small back then.

LAKid

did you move everyone on KVM-1 to -3 ? How come I'm still on Kvm-1 ?

ChrisK

We're doing a slow move, you will be moved over don't worry.

Brandon

Umm you might want to fix your client area too Chris.
