    its not difficult to "playaround" with LVM if you stay away from OS area's.
    if the OP can't do it then someone with experince can and $10 is not that much if the hot server is of importance.

    So you can provide the hosting company's credential for OP to log into the host server to change the LVM volume for his windows VPS? I'd like to get one if you have so that I can increase my VPS size without paying more to Virmach. And even better, I'd like to dump all customers' hard drive from host server to look around.

    It is not for resizing on the host server, they asked this:

    @syd said: We'd also need a working admin password to the VM to do this

    That means nothing. They also need to log into the VM to shrink the partition before they truncate the underlying LVM volume, unless you tell me how and why to setup a LVM on a windows VPS.

  • @msg7086 said:

    if that is the case then no one can except the admin's and the easiest way is to cancel the whole server and order a new one.

    I am talking about inside windows, if he reconfigures the partitions by deleting "reduce" the unwanted space and cancels the extra space.

    i am a bit confused, anyway those are my last comments in this.

    hey @syd if i misunderstood then i am sorry.

    Same here. However, it does not matter too much. I guess most of us can agree on the fact that USD 10,- is a fair price for the task, especially with Virmach being on the lower side concerning their general pricing scheme.

  • hey @Amitz you sound relaxed, did you give up on giving up tobacco?

    No, I am sober (concerning nicotine) since 11days now. What @stefeman is referring to is my medication, but I am okay with him thinking that I am a junkie.

    @asterisk14, do you have services with virmach? they are top providers and since they have a large number of clients handling those things will occupy supports time and will not be a top provider anymore... +10 for virmach.

    you forgot the $ symbol :)

  • IAlwaysBeCoding said: @syd you are looking for an unmanaged vps to give you services of a managed vps. If you don't want to pay for the $10 and feel like this should be provided to you, then I suggest you go for someone like knownhost.com. They are a lot more expensive than virmach but you will get a request such as yours free, since it is included on the package.

    Thanks for recommending us! :) But I believe the OP is looking for a Windows VPS we are linux only.

    Is it worth it to you? Pay it. If it's not, move to another host.

    I'm a good problem solver :P

    Yes, I have services with them, I wouldn't say they are great or anything but they are cheap. My VPS went down, they claimed to have suspended it. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION. I asked them to restart it. They didn't tell me why they had suspended it when I asked them to restart it, nor did they ask me to change anything on my VPS. When I asked them why they suspended it, they stated I have something like 50k connections which is total BS. I think they fucked up and BS'ed me otherwise they would have emailed me or said something when I asked them to restart it. I wasn't impressed as I have been running the EXACT same application with other hosts for 5 yrs and never had any problems AT ALL. And I am certain I didn't have 50k connections. I am certain they BS'ed me. It was Syed.

    do you often go to work and tell your boss not to bother paying you?

    I do it all the time, so far probably ~5 hrs this week, I work in the NHS :-) I guess I'm like like these guys :-

  • syd said: Just trying to understand if I am the only one who feels that admin fee to downgrade the disk space on a windows VPS is normal because they have to alter the LVM

    If they do it for free, then that is called accommodation. Trying to be nice. But if they charge for it, then I think it is fair. The amount being asked seems very reasonable.

    Yes but if they were not paying you for the time before the 5 hours I am sure you would not be turning up :)

  • RadiRadi Host Rep, Veteran

    @asterisk14 They probably meant conntrack sessions. In that case, they didn't suspend you. NodeWatch did.

    I get paid AFTER doing 28 days of work, NOT before and I turn up every day.

  • Most prozzies get paid after each service.

  • @asterisk14 you sure you didn't go over 30k contrack connections? It reads in the TOS that you can't have more than 30k. Maybe should start logging connections? Could have been a issue somewhere.

    Some get beaten up or even robbed

    That was a one time thing, and in my defence she was a midget, I can’t claim all the credit for what happened, as much as I’d like to.

    When haven’t I been into midget porn?

    But seriously, it’s a highly unappreciated, highly creative medium, full of theatrics, wonder, and genetalia that makes your own look gigantic no matter how cruel Mother Nature was.
