    @bubie I have other vps, so not a big deal, I just wanted to see how it functions, but it went down every night.

    Ah bad.
    I will see.
    But first I must be approved. It is still pending since 2 hours.

    Weird, it's not provisioned automatically?

  • bubiebubie Member

    No, I chatted with a support worker. He said it can happen that the automatic checked can fial and then they check it by hand. This can take 24-48 hrs.

    Buy another one and see if it's provisioned first ;)

    Did you pay the invoice? :D Mine was instantly after I made a payment :\ Or maybe they are out of stock? :D

  • budingyunbudingyun Member

    You should fire some ticket. With huge number of client, they'll likely to miss your order.

  • budingyunbudingyun Member 
    I just wanted to drop a note in here about the delays people are noticing in support replies.

We have been experiencing an insane volume of orders / support requests and we have been working to get caught up / stay ahead, however anything related to a system being down should be getting handled within 15 - 30 minutes as we are alerted within 90 seconds of a production node outage / packet loss / system performance degradation. If anyone has had the opposite experience I would be happy to talk to them about it and correct any issues they have had with us.

That being said we are an unmanaged provider, alot of people are getting upset about us not configuring software or checking into ( VM Level issues not Node Level ) such as "My Website doesn't load." Our guys/gals will ping you system and if they can ping the IP & Open an SSH Connection / RDP Connection they will simply let you know that the server is online and we do not offer support for 3rd party software. 

We guarantee you the ability to connect via SSH or SSH Out of Box Console to your system so that in the event of it going down or there being a mis-configuration you can correct it. When folks on our xen platform install their their own kernels ( Using sda vs xvda in Grub Config ) or enable selinux and the system kernel panic's our staff will disable SELinux / Edit Grub Config and boot the server up.

I always welcome feedback both positive & negative as our upper management team frequently discusses how things are handled & possible improvement when it is brought to our attention. We do get alerts to keywords on WHT however we try to refrain from commenting asto keep all of our interactions with customers limited to our Helpdesk.

Best Regards,
Nick

    edited August 2012

    Sure. I'll run one now. I'll edit when it's done, which takes forever. :P

  • budingyunbudingyun Member

    How the update?

    Waiting... Which plan?

  • SoylentSoylent Member

    1024OVZ Chicago, which I think was the original topic, but the thread quickly turned to examining all their plans when they announced that these are going to be their new prices and that it's not just a sale.

  • budingyunbudingyun Member

    @Soylent So you still with old price or lower specification?

  • SoylentSoylent Member

    4.99/mo.

  • bubiebubie Member

    @budingyun said: How the update?

    It just got activated at 7pm GMT+2. (22hrs after paying) (the payment receipt of course came instantly)

  • SoylentSoylent Member

    Amusing snippets so far:

    Benchmarking download from OVH, Paris, France (http://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mio.dat)
    Got 96.8KB/s

    Benchmarking download from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL, USA (http://mirror.leaseweb.com/speedtest/100mb.bin)
    Got 174KB/s

    These are isolated, and the rest of the speeds seem fine (10MB/s Cachefly, 13.1 Linode Dallas, 15 Softlayer DC, with slower speeds for places like Perth, but still 3.82). Makes me wonder if they're storming the Bastille over there or something.

    So how about it?

  • bubiebubie Member

    Can't access the VPS with SSH.
    Control panel is no problem.

  • budingyunbudingyun Member

    Why you create new thread? :o

  • bubiebubie Member

    Because it is my personal problem?
    I thought this is more a general/offer thread.

    Xen or openvz, which location btw?

  • bubiebubie Member

    OpenVZ in Chicago

  • SoylentSoylent Member

    Done. The executive summary is:

    UnixBench score: 1000.3
    I/O rate: 345.0 MB/second
    Bandwidth rate: 10.4 MB/second

    @Inglar said: But Edis is still 'providing the best' © ? Or no? -_-

    We overcommit/'oversell' BW and Disk (at VRS), RAM is so cheap that it does not make much sense to oversell it - it is all a matter how you do it.

    @gsrdgrdghd said: Their network is rather unstable (at least at the .at location)

    Yea.... DDoS, trust me we are more annoyed by it than you could ever be
