Wait, you paid full price right around Black Friday when your intention was to save money?
The shit you say just doesn't add up.
Anyway, the lesson you learned is that the providers who do instant provisioning advertises the shit out of it so you can't miss it, and so when you don't see it mentioned all over the place, not to expect it. Right?
This is the problem with China, making you guys work too hard. In North America, we operate on 5 working days in a week. I'm sure its fucked even more in France or Spain where they only work 2-3 days a week (joke!).
Every provider that does instant provisioning (including us) use fraud-checking systems for new accounts to make sure spammers/abusers stay away.
This customer got flagged. We asked him 'what are you planning to use this VPS for?' and he got offended because apparently he has been using VPSs since 2012 and who are we to question his usage....and we have all this drama.
i paid full money for BF, but i can't wait and i create vps from manager. but today i don't have received my vps
Drum roll...
Haha.
Thanks, that cleared that up for me. Throw this fish back in the lake for everyone's sake.
This is why we can't have nice things.
It's just that your delivery time is much slower than other vps suppliers, and it is a bit inefficient.
It's a one time promotion that other providers are not offering (apples and oranges and such). It was expected and communicated ahead of time.
I think your response was supposed to be, "oh crap, I didn't see the working part and just thought it was 7 days". It's a like a kid whining on December 24th that Santa hasn't come when it was completely expected presents show up on the 25th.
It seems clear that the delay is not because your VPS can't be provisioned faster, but it is a choice to prevent abuse.
When prices are so low it drives demand and all the abusers line up just like everyone else.
The provider expects to clean up the occasional dog turd off the floor. But the provider doesn't want a dozen turds to be put in a microwave for 5 minutes - cleaning up that is something no-one wants to do.
Thus you pay a bit more attention to what is going on - if you deploy one VPS and there's abuse, you don't deploy the other 15 the guy ordered and save yourself a whole lot of clean-up. The bad guys are after ROI too, so tying up their money for a week is intended to do a bit of filtering also.
That's my take, but I don't have any insight on it.
It seems like some people don't seem to understand that a little bit of waiting is going to make their lives so much easier in the long-run. I'm not planning on idling my 10TB, 2TB, and 3X NVMe boxes, I have a very specific use for them and I'm very happy that I can count on my node not being oversold or ruined by some bad neighbors. Keep up the good work @hosthatch and just know there are some people here who like what you're doing and have some patience.
Yeah, @hosthatch seem pretty good. Hope they are getting some well-deserved rest on the weekend.
I'd be offended too if I was forced to say that I'll be idling the server.
Delivery is slow but he (@hosthatch ) made it aware it will take time. I would presume you bought it on the 27th when you posted your comment about buying the LA Server and if DDOS Protection included in Chicago.
So count 7 business days (Monday-Friday)
While waiting for my extra VPS to be deployed, I found out reading the comments here really make my day and sometimes, just can't stop smiling in my face.
This post has become my hourly news reading now.
Waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 is too boring for me, waiting for chi 2T deployment is boring too.
Hello, I order a Black Friday special of $ 80 for two years to pay the server yesterday, but too busy to forget a payment on time, and now the bill has been closed, could help me open the bill, I want to buy you this server,and I will pay as soon as possible, the Invoice # 220649, I hope to get your reply, I have great hopes for your server.
Thank you very much!
Hm.. didn't know one could still order the BF specials.
Btw:
Just like you get what you pay for,
you don't get what you dont pay for.
Best wishes for your order
I caught the last wave of activity yesterday, but due to busy, has placed an order, but did not pay, so the bill was canceled overtime
If you did not pay for the special within the time limit, it has been returned to stock and someone else has already bought it!
Anyway, you should open a ticket, no-one is going to resolve the problem here.
I vigorously disagree with your recommendation for two reasons:
Agreed. Shall I prepare the popcorn @user123 ?
Please do, good sir.
Need beer!
Need Moooorreee entertainmentt!!
Well unfortunately HostHatch is dealing with mad waves right now and is extremely busy provisioning servers and cancelling unpaid orders/invoices like yours, so yeah.
On second thought, you would have been better off telling the provider this in private or via a ticket instead and they might have been able to do something about it out of goodwill. Note the word might, though I highly doubt.
But since you posted this here and if they do decide to help you, they'd have to multiply the effort by the hundreds, and that's definitely not going to happen, so there's your answer.
Being angry at a provider who request vps usage..that is very funny.
You are trusting ur website to the provider, and any information with it.
Whats so dodgy that you cant tell anyone what you do with the server while in the ToS they Clearly can check your vps content if necessary?
Lol, everything is/was as mentioned in the post. You're taking everything on you.
Please, i believe @hosthatch is working 7 days now. Even when he is not working, he is thinking about work.
You do not have to invoke country bias. There are people truly love to work, as many providers are doing work 7 days.
Hell, i have a service with a denmark provider, my ticket are always replied within hours, 7 days a week.
Oracle called me on Sunday, while alibaba cloud called me only on office hours.
@hosthatch just tagging to let you know that one of my orders got provisioned, but I did NOT receive any email about it (ofc, double checked Spam / junk, no joy).
I just happened to stumble across another server that came online when I logged in to the billing panel for something else.
Didn't want to open another ticket about it, so just putting it out here for when you check LET.
