    What is going on with all the people who are saying they paid but want a refund?

    Support: Limited level of support, standard on some.
    Refunds: No Refunds (For Most.)

    A lot of their orders seem to be showing up as cancelled in the system after payment. They didn't initiate the cancellation~

    QQ - I just tried checking what regions the KVM-SPECIAL-4 had available and noticed "KVM Lite" mentioned in the region. Are these really "KVM Lite" (OpenVZ) instances? Are the deals OpenVZ as well?

    Do these instances allow custom kernels? I plan on loading up Alpine to maximize space and use wireguard to secure a tunnel to it... and don't want to worry about some incompatibility.

    KVM Lite is KVM (with some limitations).

    Neither of them are OpenVZ. Those are KVM servers and you can install any kernel you want. AFAIK "KVM lite" means that those servers have limited support.

    Virmach used to have OVZ, but they were converted to KVM, so that's just a leftover reference to that conversion. All new systems are KVM and you can install whatever you like within the cpu limits.

    You will have dedicated disk space, full logical processors core(s) and it’s own kernel as a part of KVM virtualization, free of charge. However, as your package was initially OpenVZ6, we will not perform or provide any additional premium services, such as custom ISO mounts, or allow the purchase of dedicated cores. Your package will also remain Linux-only, and usage levels must fall in line with the fair use policy.

    However most of those 'limitations' do not apply to Flash sales due to Flash sale restrictions in place :D

    My understanding is:

    • KVM Lite has a CPU limit of 33%, instead of 50% <= this is the only real limitation, and I'm very scared
    • KVM Lite cannot mount custom ISO, only the existing ones in SolusVM (hint: there are more in SolusVM than in WHMCS)

    However, there's mixed information about CPU limits for Virbot flash sales.

    Yeah, it worries me a little bit when my 2 CPUs node constantly consumes 50% CPUs with k3s installed without any load. :smiley:

    Why would you look at CPU limits if you are going to idle?! /s

    On serious note: I would assume ToS is more strict than actual monitoring - just to have a valid reason to part ways with people that are actually abusing/PITA/demanding shit etc.

    You can get your server suspended if you cross the limits, but getting it deleting or something is hard - you would need to ignore tickets or have a abuse history or something. I got some warnings here and there and saying sorry + fixing the problem keeps your services afloat.

    Sorry your thinking twice about ServerHub, rest assured customer satisfaction is something that we do pride ourselves in, and we have several large internet properties that I cannot name due to NDA who trust ServerHub globally for their infrastructure.

    We try to get things right 100%, but if we fall short on a customers expectations due to uncontrollable circumstances, we keep in close contact with the customer to ensure resolve.

    I serve push-up videos from all my VPS. Nothing is idle.

    On serious note: I would assume ToS is more strict than actual monitoring - just to have a valid reason to part ways with people that are actually abusing/PITA/demanding shit etc.

    Yes, that's always the case.

    You can get your server suspended if you cross the limits, but getting it deleting or something is hard - you would need to ignore tickets or have a abuse history or something. I got some warnings here and there and saying sorry + fixing the problem keeps your services afloat.

    I find out the limits before deciding whether to order a server.
    If I wait until getting a warning, I would have to spend several days rewriting my Node.js/PHP apps in Go/C++ to reduce resource consumption, during which the service would be offline or relying on other replicas.

    There's always a trade-off between:

    • optimize the apps so that it runs more efficiently
    • throw more hardware at crappy code

    WHMCS obviously chose the latter, as evidenced by the meltdown last week.

    I used to choose the former, but now I try to design a parallelizable architecture and then right-size my servers so that I don't have to spend too much time optimizing single-thread performance.

    An hour of coding costs $20. An extra GB of RAM costs $10 per year. If my app has a lifetime of 1 year and it's deployed on 4 servers, if optimizing it to require 1GB less RAM would take more than 2 hours, it's not worth it.

    @yoursunny I think VirMach just throw a perfect offer for you and no need to stress about that CPU! :D
