Picked one of these up. Server time was wrong and never got a response from support. Cancelled my account and asked for a refund.
No offence, but you seem to have a bad experience with 75% of the hosts you've been with from what I can see. Maybe you're just being too hasty? Keep in mind it is a weekend..
How is that their problem...? Update the time yourself, damn.
I hate your ugly homepage
I'm unable to update the time myself. I get an error "Operation not permitted" when trying to change time as root. Seems some visualization servers required the guest vms to be in sync with the host vm and won't let you change the time. I can change the timezone within the OS, but not the clock.
This is a restriction with OpenVZ virtualisation and doesn't allow VMs to edit VPS timezone so correct timezone on node is required.

We kick the tires on a lot of providers, LET/LEB and otherwise. It probably appears I complain a lot because I don't usually leave positive feedback when things work right. I probably should do more of that. Sorry if I sound a bit cranky.
I've always appreciated folks leaving feedback, good and bad. It helps the decision making process for anyone considering a provider.
Perhaps I am being too hasty but I think 14 hours to reply to a ticket I marked as 'high' urgency is pretty patient. Maybe I'm expecting too much from NodeDeploy. If that's the case, they're probably not the provider I need.
@Nodeping Not being funny but there are a number of issues here with your attitude.
1) Ticket originally submited at 01:13 on a bank holiday weekend
2) Ticket further bumped at 04:00
3) Cancellation request submitted
Honestly I'm glad you've submitted your request because we sure don't want customers who throw a hissy fit when they don't get a response in a time that you expect, it was the middle of the night on a weekend, baring in mind you paid $4.25 so i don't quite understand the expectations you have with response time. Had you waited this would have been resolved.
If you need absolute control of your machine, get KVM and get off the OVZ wagon all together, there are known clock drifts on OPENVZ, it's just the way it is.
Edit: Little harsh, redacted
First, thanks for the refund. It was the stand-up thing to do and I respect that. You didn't have to. I'm grateful.
I'm sorry you see my honest feedback as a hissy fit. I've got nothing against NodeDeploy or you. Just relaying my experience.
I don't know much about UK bank weekends, sorry. But I do expect at least an acknowledgement when I make a support request and bump it a few hours later.
Your site says "All enquiries and questions will be answered in under 2 hours." I don't see anything about exceptions for bank holidays or weekends.
I cancelled only after I received no response at all after 14 hours.
I understand a bit of clock drift. I have many openvz boxes and if the host is syncing with an ntp server daily, that drift shouldn't be more than a few seconds typically. This one was 3.5 minutes slow. KVM would have avoided this problem, true. But I cancelled because of lack of support, not because the server was 3.5 mins slow.
My expectation was only the one you set on your home page - two hours or less. If it said "24 hours or less" I would have have waited longer than the 14 hours I did wait.
I don't remember reading when I signed up with this LET discount that my support requests would receive lower priority because I was paying less. Somehow I doubt my request would have gotten a response if I were paying 'full price' though.
Best of luck to you and thanks again for the refund.
Automated NTP is enabled... it just drifts on OVZ and i suspect when the ticket was sent the cron didn't ping, maybe i'll lower it from an hour to 5 mins
@NodePing
Alrighty, well no hard feelings, today I'm a little grumpy... I need some beers i think
Take care!
Lol WHAT? Sorry? For this LOWER price Nodedeploy must kiss your a? Or lick your as? Sorry, but if you are *umb, it's your problem, not nodedeploy problems.
Thank you a lot for bad reviews for nodedeploy!
P.S. to normal customers: cheap, and equal to their price.
Curious to know why you guys are running ntpd via cron instead of using the ntpd daemon....
can you provide test ip?

How old are you again?
Sorry, incorrect question. This question ask or fat trolls, or stupid schoolgirls. I do not see green skin on you. So.
Running a business and unreasonable customers who throw a hissy fit go hand in hand. If you're running a business you just need to learn to deal with it and not let the angry asshole on the other end of the phone line (or the asshole typing an email in all caps) bother you, and never show your anger when interacting with an angry customer (printing out their photo and using it as a dart board in private is perfectly acceptable though :P )
