Great offer. Over the past 3-4 years i've tried a couple times to order but always seem to be too late to the party.

@Francisco give us LV stock! haha

More on the 1st

Making some changes to how Stallion does provisioning so we can increase stock load outs w/o worrying about dog pilling a single node.

I gotta check again but i'm certain it mentions emails must match on our TOS.

Francisco

You should try and fix that. My PayPal email is unique and every service I use has unique email. This is the first time in all my years with PayPal a requirement that PayPal email matches the service email. This is why there's a PayPal login screen to enter PayPal account info and not hard-coded email in the login screen.

It's a requirement for fraud checks.

Francisco

Again, have never had this limitation, ever. But if the small number of lost sales is less than the fraud that might be prevented by it, you do you. Just sayin this isn't a limitation by any other business I've ever dealt with.

Fair, it's not a common one, but it's also a reason why providers lose disputes from abusive customers.

We've had people claim they never got their service, and if it wasn't for the fact we had a matching email in WHMCS with the email logs, we wouldn't have won.

Karen & I are always trying to find new ways to improve the signup process. I'd for sure like to improve that point of it.

To get it right, my Paypal address is [email protected] Should I use that one instead of [email protected] to signup besides paying?

That should be just fine.

Karen should be aware of gmail's + handling, but i'll alert her just incase.

I've been a BuyVM customer for many years, and hit the same issue when adding more services recently (256 GB slab). I ended up having to change my BuyVM account's email address to match the PayPal one, rather than using a unique email address for BuyVM. No big deal. I guess it wasn't an issue when I initially signed up. Just changed it and Karen sorted the order out.

I wish BuyVM had stock around the clock.

eol

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, stock.
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, stock.
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, stock.
We're gonna stock around the clock tonight.

Mr_Tom

On the paypal point, if you have multiple emails in paypal, it's the main one that has to match - even if your sign up email address is listed in paypal

We'll have more on the 1st.

I got a decent sized amount of 512's coming around next month if you're interested, a few hundred in Vegas.

I use sub-domain addressing ([email protected]). I just believe I added a comment specifying why and such and Karen was fine with it.

If you're reasonable and not trying to commit fraud, then a path forward can usually be found.

@Francisco pmed you

stephfd21

Can someone send me their site link so I can see the sitespeed difference between buyshared and buyvm services. I've got shared websites with fran, I'd like to see the benefit of the vps

dtoker

@stephfd21 Id recommend instead to purchase a vps and run tests on the same website. Theres too many factors to consider when comparing two different websites, your website may be faster or slower than mine.

Once upon a time, we had to wait for a long time to buy these plans. Within few hours, out of stock message appeared. Service was such good.

However, I wonder what people do these days with such tiny plans.

We still have to wait, at least until next month, and service is still good, no?

512MB is tiny? That's the common size at almost every big provider right now.

This isn't the 128MB's

Francisco

For what it's worth, Karen put up a few more 512's just now.

Would you replenish the stock for reseller hosting 125GB in the near future? Been checking quite regularly but always out of stock.

Once I saw there was one available but when I tried to check out.... Out of stock again! 😢😢

Ordered gear for more nodes this week, so we should be good for stock soon.

Yes, it's tiny. Not sure how you know the most common sized VPS at big providers, though. The 512MB servers are good for one or two basic services, but can't run decent apps that need a couple of GB. All the businesses I know with VPS'S have much more resources than my personal ones. Just anecdotal, but 512MB is getting more useless. Yum-cron trips resource limits fairly often with usage in hundreds of MB'S, for example.

Install logwatch on your 512MB servers and you'll probably notice some OOM killing invoked every now and then.
