We are out of stock again, it may take a while before your VPS is delivered.

Perhaps it would be a good idea then to change it to out of stock in your billing panel?

Dunno- mine lasted a couple days (without use or ability to use).

Done.

Wait, where are u talking about? I whas talking about the out of stock thing.

WSS

Evidently so.

WSS

As much as I've crapped on Contraweb, I got my money refunded. I would rather have the service- but, I've been fully refunded.

"We are currently out of stock on this item so orders for it have been suspended until more stock is available. For further information, please contact us."

In the next period of time, we should be able to see more reviews from people who got this offer.

Is out of stock now.

It seems that good reviews are no longer good. People have started to complain. https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2121312

Reports of my use of the 'c' word are grossly exaggerated.

Scammers, get your money back asap

Well, they say they had a hardware failure and a lot of vps's were trashed or corrupted and they were attempting data recovery. I opened a ticket saying I didn't have anything important on my vps so it was fine if they issued me a new empty one instead of trying to recover the old one, so they did that right away. I hit a couple of re-installation snags but the new vps is now up and works fine, and they're reasonably responsive to tickets.

It does seem to me that they're still new at this so with any luck, stuff will get smoothed out over time.

They also said they'd have new nodes on Feb 28 but I've got no reaction whatsoever since then.
