    not ssd and not 10gigabit.. for the price.. its expected though..

    Its full ssd. Only storage vps arent.

  • I'm still wondering how could @VirMach sell VPS in BF deals with such crazy price.
    As stated in their page, the normal price for 4GB VPS is $20/MONTH. But in BF deals they sell at $26/YEAR.
    1 year price is almost same with 1 month price...

    Curious about that too. If they sold only a very limited number of VPS it could be understandable, but it seems like the volume sold during this BF is huge. Maybe it's not that big compared to what they sell all year long, and they use this kind of promo as a marketing opportunity while they have enough "normal price" customers to keep the boat afloat... (Or they have a very competitive pricing from CC?)

    For those who wanted EU, the IP allocation in USA is fubar- geolocation for my impulse buy is Frankfurt. A wee bit far away from Dallas, methinks.

    Those tend to be wrong by geolocation tools because they go by the "main" company that owns the IPs sometimes, and not the ARIN details. If you contact us we can usually submit a request and they may or may not cooperate.

    For example, MaxMind has given us problems in the past because since we sell VPNs, they think we're lying about the actual location of the server.

    Only thing I'm not a fan of at VirMach is that Windows imaging is manual rather than being able to do it through SolusVM. I created a ticket to get Windows Server 2016 and support installed 2008 so now I need to wait for them to reply again :dizzy:

    Oh well.

    Thanks for the awesome sale @VirMach! That was a wild ride.

    We're not a fan of that either. @SolusVM can you please add the ability to queue operating system installs so nodes don't overload if three people try to re-install at once?

    bond said: @VirMach I'm having a tough time going about my day, waiting for Paid Invoice #470764 to go active so I can play with my new toy.

    Most if not all of these should be done by now, unless invoices aren't paid. For those, we need people to contact us so we can manually apply the transactions. Since yours is paid, you're good.

    goodone said: But I TOOK IT For $24!!! hopefully you don't suspend my vps! I am new user under virmach but I will just use them for my website development purpose. I heard so many negative review how you randomly auto suspend user because of abusing resources.

    For specials, we are usually a little bit more strict, however, our automatic script will always at minimum (1) ignore high usage during the initial setup of your VM, (2) throw out the first case of high usage, (3) contact you on the second case, (4) shut you down on the fourth case, and then if some other variables are met (5) suspend you.

    It may skip to step (4) if you're also causing the node to overload. It has way more leniency, so if this happens you're most likely actually actively negatively affecting everyone to an extreme level, at a bad time.

    @oriend said:
    Guys I don't want to bother VirMach support since they probably have hundreds of tickets, so if someone can answer me here. I've installed ubuntu desktop and tried to login with putty port 22 SSH type and username root, password the one which solus showed before reinstallation, but when I enter the password, I get access denied every time. Am I doing something wrong?

    Sorry for the question here, this is my first Linux VPS. I have Win VPS, but never had problem like this.

    Default port is different for that specific package, it's port 6000.> @chaoszero112 said:

    I see @VirMach went pretty nuts in last few offers. (We still have SSD32G easter egg valid if someone can figure it out and urban legends says there is one more easter egg, that no one noticed). Even including our favorite authors in this topic :-).

    The only thing that makes me sad (ok, on top of not sniping last few deals)... it's this. So close, yet so far... I guess next Black Friday.

    Special (NOT Flash) deals are still live! They are decent most of the times, not "EPIC GOOD", but still pretty nice.
    https://virmach.com/special-offers/

    I'll give out a hint to keep the juices flowing. The more obvious easter egg is not the SSD32G one. If you find that one, the SSD32G easter egg is vaguely related.

    While we're complaining about SolusVM... Why does it not support two-factor auth?! I feel insecure without it :(

  • @VirMach I'm just wondering how long does it take to activate a service? It has been 5 days but the service is still pending! Invoice #458800, Please!

  • @VirMach thank you for clarification! I managed to login a bit after I posted, on port 22, but Ubuntu wanted update, so didn't bother. Also, thanks for this great offer. It made me want to play around with linux VPS.

    I think this Windows installation only works in Buffalo?

    It's for larger packages only.

    muffin said: Yeah, I’m pretty sure you have to be a 6-month paying customer. Not really sure, maybe @VirMach can clear the confusion

    The person transferring the service out needs to be a customer for at least 6 months to establish a payment history that isn't charged back. We want to prevent any transferring of service followed by a chargeback.

    Just setting up Windows Server on a ridiculously powerful VPS I got on Sunday (4x vCores at 3Ghz, 10 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, on node NY10GKVM73) and it feels significantly faster than one of the other servers I picked up (2x vCores, 6 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD, on node NY10GKVM44). I'm in California and both VPSes are in Buffalo, but the more powerful one has basically no lag over RDP at all and apps open very quickly, while the other one stutters a bit over RDP and apps take longer to open. I wonder if the extra cores or 3GHz processor are the reason for the difference, or if the newer server is just under less load compared to the other one. Interesting. @VirMach Any thoughts on that?

    Last year we had lower stock levels.

    uptime said: @VirMach - I also noticed a frequent connection to Facebook during the ordering process. Wondering what was up with that? (I don't use Facebook, and would prefer not to be used by Facebook.) I ain't mad though. Just curious. And impressed.

    That's either Facebook Pixel, or maybe our live chat -- I believe it lets (if enabled) customers sign in to chat from messenger... maybe. We do also have WHMCS that may have login with Facebook (even though we're not displaying it), as well as an old (probably not displaying either), Facebook like button somewhere.

    @ytyabc said:
    Anyone still have Re-install OS option in Client Area after login?

    We disabled this until we split off OVZ/KVM plans properly. Still works in SolusVM.

    Daniel15 said: I wonder if the extra cores or 3GHz processor are the reason for the difference, or if the newer server is just under less load compared to the other one.

    When we've tested our services in the past, I definitely notice a jump between the lower packages and the top-of-the-line stuff. I think it's Windows accelerating everything better with more cores.

    I've also had some personal projects in the past on E3's and the version of Windows matters as well. For example, on 2008 my program ran better while it stuttered, but on 2012 it looked better and smoothe while it used more resources (and in turn reduced the performance.)

    When the server is shut down (4) it's then possible to restart it manually from the console? Does it restart automatically after a specific amount of time? Thanks!

    tetech said: So far, having a different SolusVM login for each server is a pain, and I can't set rDNS without a ticket, but nothing fatal.

    Once the billing-side controls are fixed (for the flash specials) you should be able to do everything from one account which is your client area. We split accounts because it's easier for us, resellers, and some customers prefer it. This also makes it easier to transfer services should someone request that. We do allow people to merge accounts on most larger "regular" packages. If we get any improvements on SolusVM's side there could probably be a better third option for everyone.

    We have the ability to automate rDNS requests, but that would skyrocket spam. Maybe one day once we beef up our system to automate curbing spammers.

    pullangcubo said: Leftovers as they may be, they also need love. Spin them up as new flash deals! Just give us a heads up so we can beat those Ch...other non-LET-izens

    I've actually thought about it but it would have to be unannounced so those that are still active on the thread could get them.

    Maybe if we catch up with the tickets first. It is cyber week after all, plus we need to get to page 100.

    Someone requesting to buy, but no one seems to be interested to sell yet because they think it can be higher.

    If only people bought it that much from us, we could actually afford to pay our bills. The "retail" price of that package would probably be somewhere around $800/yr.

    Virmach cannot pay their bills? :-/

    datanoise said: Maybe it's not that big compared to what they sell all year long

    On a serious note, we don't want people to actually be worried. This is the answer.

    Daniel15 said: While we're complaining about SolusVM... Why does it not support two-factor auth?! I feel insecure without it

    While we're talking about SolusVM, why doesn't it have:

    • a functional snapshot/backup+restore system for customer
    • a custom ISO mount option for customers
    • any kind of load balancing system
    • block storage
    • ability to create more than a couple VMs at once without breaking
    • load balancer
    • floating IPs
    • letting customers migrate or change IP
    • having a proper database table structure
    • having a good API so we could do any of the above
    • meaningful updates

    I mean I'm not saying we pay them enough to hire a developer to make our own panel, but we pay them enough to hire a developer to make our own panel. So you'd think they would use any of that money for improvements. Let's see what Plesk does.
