Probably worth looking for a VPS in one of their non-ColoCrossing locations. Not sure which locations are non-CC, I just know that Buffalo (the land of infinite servers) definitely is CC.
It's either serverhub or colocrossing neither have good reputations.
I asked my friend who just submitted a ticket last month, and it takes a week to reslove, and .... I guess they're busy now, so it will take more than 10 days??
@VirMach please check ticket #524732
I've run inbound only mail servers at a couple of Virmach locations for years. I just relay the outbound mail through mxroute. It is a good use case for big memory, small disk, not real fast cpu VPSes.
The Piscataway IP I got was on a couple of blacklists at spamhaus.org
No, this is typical, going back to when the last steal thread was discussed weeks or a month ago. There isn't actually a spike or anything this week despite the expected extra traffic.
Meh, its a pihole for $7/year, it's not anything production critical or worth ticketing about. I'd care more if it was $70/year.
Honestly i have no idea. I am relatively new to VPS world and is my first time learning about VirMach. No idea how things work with them.
Now I got two outstanding issues
Authorization to charge went through (has not billed yet) but order cancelled. No reply via ticket. I rarely have to talk to the bank. Called them and asked. They said if they dont bill the transaction, then fine. If they bill and no provision of service or no reply to ticket, they will help me file a chargeback without me asking. Glad that the staff of Citibank Prestige was super helpful - I did not even think about the next step and they got it covered for me.
Payment was made and got billed. No provision.
Well..... We are paying very low price so don't even mind waiting for a month or more but at least give people a reply - let people know how it goes.
Hope to get something less than 5$ from New Jersey.
@VirMach
Same issue. Payment was made but order/invoice is marked Cancelled.
my friends, be optimistic, he's just busy right now.
@Virmach (waiting for Ticket #488193)
@VirMach
I can't log into my account. Ticket #628708. Can you help?
Besides, it seems there is a email delivery issue for the outlook email account. Mine (outlook.sk) can't receive any emails from Virmach. Can you check and update?
Be patient except don't be here's my ticket
Well - I basically gave up. Why? $12 / year or even lower... seems not worth the effort of guessing when a reply would come.... And after listening to the bank advice, I guess nothing to worry about - they would take actions without me asking. So my friend, let go and enjoy the vps when it arrives
I'm surprised by all the issues mentioned above. So far I've ordered 8 servers during the sale and in the last days I had no issues with payment at all. The servers were pending for few minutes and got activated in <15 minutes.
@VirMach
Can we still bump up the vCore of this plan?

You can relax. Everything will be fine.
Virmach is known to be fair and generous and to do even way more than is required to resolve any problems that might pop up.
I understand that you can be worried and start to expect the worst with every hour passing (which might feel like an eternity).
My first flash sale I was also nervous, and 6 hours felt like forever.
But relax. Everything will be fine.
There are many thousands of transactions during these flash sales.
Most of them go fairly smoothly and quickly.
They have systems in place to track most of what goes wrong and fix it without you having to do anything.
For those that they miss, you can open a ticket.
Due to the volume of transactions and tickets, it does take some time.
In a couple of days, (a week or so tops), they should've caught up with almost everything.
At worst, you'll be fully refunded.
Virmach is not a summer-host (fly-by-night/runs-away-with-your-money) company
(ps: I'm not a representative, nor working for, or officially making any enforcement. I'm only a regular simple customer since 2018, trying to give some worried newbies some assurance that they don't have to stress too much)

Worst ever
how does one keep the load on windows vps under 50%? What's the secret
Turn it off half the time.
Idling.
I can't imagine paying $12/month for this crippling experience
I actually use Windows Virtual Machine on Microsoft Azure. My favorite sizing is the B2S. The Microsoft Azure B2s with 2vCPU and 4GB RAM run very well without much problem. The CPU limit for B2s is about 40%. I have no problem doing RDP into the machine running Visual Studio 2019 to develop dotnet core applications.
It depends on the workload you are running of the Virtual Machine. Normally a bad windows update can mislead as CPU or IO abuse.
Hmm. How much do you pay?
At least it keeps Alzheimer away, right?! (Or so I say to myself spending time on these kind of RE cases!
)
@VirMach, ny1.vpshared.com has been down for more than 12 hours now. Can someone please take a look at it. All my sites on it are down.
Thanks.
thank you very much for sorting this out!
@VirMach, I have a priority support ticket #218361 in and it has been three hours and no one has answered. Our websites have been down since yesterday. php_fam, httpd and lfd services are down on the server.
