VPSDime - 1 Month Review

Member
Plan: LowEndTalk Offer: Link To Offer
Promised Specs: 4cpu, 6GB Memory, 30GB HD, 2TB Bandwidth. @ $7 USD / Month - (I purchased two of these plans)
Stability: This service is currently hosting several active websites. Other than my own server restarts for installations and updates there has been zero downtime.
Support: I've only dealt with billing support who provided me a pre-sales link to combine two VPS's into one. Ticket was answered quickly and handled profesionally.
Overall: I'm sorry that there is not more to mention in my review. The service has been extremely reliable and it performs beyond my expectations. This is another service I hope to keep for a very long time. Though the VPSDime brand is new I trust the Backupsy and "serverian" names behind this operation.

@badpatrick, @Zen, thank you so much for being awesome. You made me very happy now!
Oktay
Is it possible to still link 2 VPS together?
I could only confirm @badpatrick & @Zen's review.
I had a couple of issues and they were resolved very quickly by Oktay.
One of my favorite VMs by far.
Yep, as always
I have one of these myself, it is amazing. Network is always amazing and the disk speeds are always 300MB/s+. Never had one issue with this box and I don't expect any.
the vps is amazing. great speeds, 100% uptime ... my only problem, i have NO use for something with this much RAM. it's amazing but I just can't think of something to do with it. i don't want to let some kiddies run some game servers on it, but any ideas on some servers/software that is unique and awesome to mess around with?
VNC?
Sure, we can do this. Just open a ticket!
@serverian: 1.) Is that 6GB guaranteed RAM for me ?
2.) is their any provision for backups ?
3.) that 7$ must be the recurring price every month or does it increase after 1 month or few months?
You can't use 6GB RAM without abusing other resources like IO and CPU. But yeah.
You should take your own backups.
Recurring.
I like vpsdime as well want to try their winity (windows) brand but it will be idle vps since there is nothing to learn about window's compared to Linux.But still i am going to spend my cash on it.Since I mostly use vps for learning purpose.
+1 to the good review. I got one, I like it. I highly recommend it to others.
Oktay looks like a boss on this forum. Congrats @serverian
Hey all VPSDime users, consider joining this google group for VPSDime users which is intended to be a discussion & learning space for all VPSDime users.
I just created this group so that all the fellow VPSDime users can connect & talk to each other, discuss any issues or ask for help & support from each other. All of us had such a huge requirement for a discussion space.
@serverian runs a good shop. One of the very few LET providers I feel I can trust.
Thanks everyone. We try
Btw, I've created a IRC channel for vpsdimers. It's #vpsdime on irc.freenode.net
You can use http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=vpsdime if you don't have an IRC client.
It is great service, the uptime is 89 days. I have only one external down notice from pingdom because of my fault: the domain is expired.
Only concern in my mind: vpsdime uses solus, which do not provide the console access, so be careful when you hardening your ssh access.
That IRC channel seems kind of dead at the moment
hi @serverian it seems this review wipe out all my worried, i will try this when i got back from my vacation, it is very awesome 6GB Ram,
I've been with VPSDime for more than a few months now, I'm nothing but pleased, especially with the recent addition of IPv6. I don't have one of those 6GB moster plans as I have no use for it, but my little 512 has been a rock solis VPS.
Bottom line is you can't go wrong with a VPSDime.
I am not sure what you meant here?
There's no console... If you block yourself due to poorly-defined iptables rules, or change the SSH port on Centos without disabling selinux, you'll have to ticket support to fix the situation.
That sucks.
That it does. VPSDime uses the ModulesGarden Solus module, which is extremely broken and they seem to have zero desire to fix it.
They give you the source code if you want. You can fix it yourself!
@badpatrick What did you use to get http://i.imgur.com/ExlIzlW.jpg
If you open a console session from SolusVM it gives you the ip, port (of HN) and console user/pw which you can use in a regular SSH client.
VPSDime doesn't provide user access to SolusVM (although they use it as their backend). You control the server with ModulesGarden's Solus module within WHMCS which doesn't has a console

So, how about you're newly acquired DotVPS service - will that be improving pretty radically - and pretty soon??
Atrocious connectivity so far!!!
