Alternatives to BuyVM.

I'm looking for alternatives to BuyVM.

In/around a place like Luxembourg would be good. In the same price and specifications as the KVM slices at BuyVM. Free Windows licenses aren't a must.

Can anyone recommend a good provider?

  • We can basically match their prices if not cheaper and we offer free windows however not their location as we are in London, If this is ok for you do let me know but honestly BuyVM are amazing I have been a customer myself.

    BuyVM is good, yes. Support matters a lot to me as well. I can't do London I'm afraid, but I'll keep you in mind. Thanks a lot.

    We do offer some great support just google us for some reviews, We are small however but we seem to have made some good impacts on people.

    I was referring to BuyVM support which is next to shit in my opinion. The person I've dealt with is extremely cocky and seems to be doing me a favour by doing his job.

    "You made me wait 24 hours.." when my BTC transaction was unconfirmed. Amazing support, really. Getting raged on by a menstruating teenager for something that's out of my hand is the last thing I expect from a hosting provider.

    ... what?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it standard practice to use expect at least 3-5 confirmations to guarantee that the provider(s) receive the money?

    Also, why and how would the provider know that a customer is getting mood swings?

    See? It doesn't make sense.

    Yes, that's why my payment confirmation took 24 hours.

    It was the support staff getting the mood swings, not the customer. Make sense now?

    Throw me a PM and I'll look into it today.

    That sounds unlike him but I know he's stressed since we have a core router in one of our locations acting up.

    Francisco, can you confirm or deny that Aldryic's new name after sex change is also Valentina? Would you test DNA of menstrual blood to disprove conspiracy of Aldryic sneaking back into ticket room?

    Community is starved for answers. We must know. Popcorn is cooling down. :(

    How though? Adrylic doesn't even work at BuyVM anymore, and this is out of the ordinary for fran

  • varunchopravarunchopra Member

    Adrylic got a perfect replacement I suppose. (see: post #4)

    Edit: Just told the support guy not to take his frustration out on me if his life sucks. In return, got told to find another hosting provider if I can't be polite to the support staff (i.e. him).

    Dude's rude 24/7 and can't stomach an insult. 10/10 support.

  • Sounds odd, I've always found Val to offer decent, straight to the point support.

  • PieHasBeenEatenPieHasBeenEaten Member, Host Rep

    So how about the op show us what really happened, provide some proof.

    Hmm, BuyVM support thread again lol... Dunno but i never had any issue with their support ever. Hell even that russian guy you all blame always offered great support.

  • Many people have looked for alternatives to BuyVM, but the reality is always that there are no alternatives.

  • I have like toooo many support tickets with frantech and Valentin answered them all very quickly. I accept he is bit rude but when he is I simply ask him to cool down ;-p

    btw, Philip Martin still working there? @francisco

    Still not a valid reason to treat customers like that.
    As per the OP, "You made me wait 24 hours..", is definitely way too rude.

    I know you'll handle it properly tho.

    Phil's still here, he works night times though (usually with me).

  • Phil is much more helpful than Valentin Raulet and I really do not understand why the Valentin Raulet are so rude when dealing with clients.

  • Guys, you're doing it all wrong.

    If you need BuyVM to fix something, don't open a ticket but rather complain on LET and you'll get premium @Francisco.

    Clouvider NVMe SSD UK Slices are quite similar to BuyVM ones, and their 4/8/16/32GB ones are absolutely the same.

    Proof of what? I made this thread to look for alternatives, not to take a shit on BuyVM.

    If you want to experience it yourself, I suggest you make a ticket yourself.

    Sadly, I always get Val Raulet on my tickets.

    Starter VPSes are extremely expensive, and UK isn't my first choice. But noted. Thanks!
