  • klpowellklpowell Member

    I sent them an email early today because it did not send an SMS. When i looked in their knowledge base that is the email it said to contact. They are the same company as youhosting.com And I know that on youhosting the will close accounts for inactivity, but not for 24 or 12 hours. I don't see anything on their webpage about closing accounts after any time period. Not that hard to setup a cron job to connect to ssh though.

    @asterisk14 simple autologin shell script using "expect" from other box(es) can solve this little incovenience ;-)
    Something like this executed with cron:

    apt-get install expect
    nano login.sh

     #!/usr/bin/expect -f
 set user USERNAME
 set password PASS
 set timeout -1
 spawn ssh root@IP -p PORT
 match_max 100000
 expect "*?assword:*"
 send -- "$password\r"
 expect eof

    (Even better if you use ssh-keys to avoid coding password into shell script)

    Don't forget to chmod script and add "killall login.sh" or something like that to crontab to kill remote connection and process after some time (disconnection from remote host won't kill proces).

    They say to use Forum for support for free users.

    I don't think random forum users can access and validate/authorise my vps so it's a bit piontless!

    I tried to use them ages ago but their phone verification is broken.

  • SpiritSpirit Member

    It worked for me.

  • badpatrickbadpatrick Member

    Stuck at phone verification.
    USA - Sprint Network. Not getting their SMS text for whatever reason.

    For all this trouble? I don't think so.

  • seraphkzseraphkz Member

    Stuck at phone verification too. USA-AT&T

    Stuck verification number too, US

  • asterisk14asterisk14 Member

    I got the phone verification SMS, I entered the code, and then it says 'setup failed'.

    Oh, I like, it, I like it:

    "Because of huge interest in VPS.ME free vps services, today we have reached free VPS quota, please try to order free vps later or choose another paid plan."

    I heard this nice explanation several times in my life, did you?

    What I can never understand is why they perform their personal data collection prior to stating the desired plan is no more available.

    Do they really think I will ever deal with their paid plans? No way.

  • trexostrexos Member

    I asked the support about this 12/24 hours login thing.

    You don't have to login every 12 or 24 hours into SSH or panel. It's just for the first time. So when you order the service, you have to login within 24 hours, otherwise your order will be canceled.

  • Master_BoMaster_Bo Member

    I wonder, do they answer on their forums on weekends?
    No reactions so far.

  • trexostrexos Member

    I used the Live chat

    Very funny. Live chat is for paid members only.

    So, to have a little chance of being spotted by their support, one has to be paid member.

    So much for free VPS offer. Marking the service as unreliable, no sense to wait for any response from them.

  • trexostrexos Member

    I know. I just said I don't need support. I just have one question^^

    "Your Free VPS (example.com) which was activated at Friday, 16 August 2013 is now SUSPENDED due to reason:
    Root user has never logged in to VPS during 24 hours!"

    I got vps 2 days ago, logged in, set up and played a bit with and then got this notification. I was logged in till suspension :)

    edit.
    I checked their "support forum". They did this to everyone - so there's the catch.

  • trexostrexos Member

    Yeah, got this message too. Sux

    Maybe you guys need to email the (gay looking) CEO.

  • trexostrexos Member

    Nah I don't need the VPS^^ I have enough.

  • zhuanyizhuanyi Member

    Looks like they are done with giving out free VPS for now:

    Any reason the private possible sexual orientation is of concern in this case?

  • SpiritSpirit Member

    @zhuanyi read comments :) They are also taking back already given VPSs :)

  • Master_BoMaster_Bo Member

    Well, I suggest further wasting time on something more pleasant. :)

  • spekkspekk Member

    Tried, did not receive any SMS (USA)

    P.S. I forgot to mention, you need to login into ssh in the first 24 hours, and then once a month, not every 24 hours. (or so they claim)
