What's the longest you've waited for a server to be provisioned?

I've been waiting for Kimsufi to provision a KS-1 for 2 days now, already have a KS-9 with them (which took over a day). No ID check required, I'm just waiting twiddling my thumbs.

Got me thinking how long others have waited for their "120 sec" provision and who with? i.e. standard plan/off the shelf dedi (or vps I guess)

    USD 7,-. This equals 72 hours. That's the longest time I had to wait for any service that was not specified otherwise already beforehand. (Like in: "Please note: Lead time from payment to activation is around one week.")

  • One lonely night, I lost my p0rn collections after I rebooted my hostsolutions storage VPS. I felt desperate and I lost my mind. I somehow bought a cheap wholesaleinternet instant server that I did not need.

    I expected it to be setup right away but I couldn't even login the client area after I paid. It was late in the night, I have to go to sleep.

    A week later, I checked my paypal payment history and found out I sent 20 bucks to a company called ... who-lesaleinternet.

    Who? Oh, that night.

    I contacted their support asking when will they deliver me the instant server I paid a week ago.

    It turned out that I entered the wrong email address when I ordered the server. They delivered the server right after I paid.

    I saw, on LET, a dude waiting 3 months from OVH for a server. The dude had the patience of a saint. He was too good for LET.

    So, that's the longest I've seen. I kinda felt bad for him because I sort of jinxed him.

  • Most VPS's are near instant however Dedi's take a couple of days most of the time from providers around here which is fine.

    A couple of years.

  • 10

  • 3 weeks before they admitted they didn't have it in stock. They fully refunded my order. It was a LeaseWeb reseller.

    I recall this guy who waited 3 minutes? Probably less before opening a thread here to complain.

    His excuse was that the host advertised "instant" deployment.

  • 10 days for VPS activation at Alpharacks (and now Alpharacks + woothosting).
    And then it took me 1 hour after that to cancel the VPS as the speed was damn slow for installing just LAMP stack.

    For rest of the providers like Ramnode, BuyVM, and few other LET providers.. it was almost instant after Paypal verified payment! Though some took 2-3 hours as they need manual activation to be done!

    Hey, that was me.

    For what’s it’s worth, I did get a free month (~1000 value) as a show of good faith from OVH after that whole debacle.

    Virmach, 35 days for a special offer. It was backordered, but this was definitely a bit excessive even for a backorder.

    Life is too short to waste it on waiting. I have a script that checks Offer section, buys the least expensive option, immediately opens a complain thread on LET, charges back and slaps me in the face.

    Doh, you are still here.

  • If you are ordering a box to idle, there's not much difference between waiting 30 days to. provision and idling it for the same amount of time, except that first 15 minutes of excitement after receiving the keys to the box comes earlier.

  • Adam1Adam1 Member

    Finally provisioned and thankfully I got a dual core Atom (DOUBLE strength). sadly still only 2GB ram. still, it'll do.

    Okay.

    Over a month, had to wait for Ian.D to send the server over to the data center to be racked and they failed to set it up correctly so I had to wait 2 weeks after that.

    Is it a bash script, hopefully?

    I think the longest one was 6 months, with FirstHeberg.
    Very recommended, they swapped a disk which had a few bad sectors, with one that had even more.

    Yes, and it even works offline too if you install it on WifeOS. At least the faceslapping functionality.
