Universev.com ??? any good or scam?

Hi Community,

Today I checked http://lowendstock.com/ filter&monitor system and saw Universev.com was selling well-priced budget vps. I purchased one kvm from them. It turned out no welcome email (no solusvm or other panel login info at all). default root password I set during reg is not working. There is only a simple panel in WHMCS without password reset function, no os reinstall function. The product shows active. IP can be traced. Opened a ticket. It has been 6+ hours without getting any reply. What's going on there? Thanks

    The community.

  • Yup his offer was not very well received on LET..

    Looks like he has also taken AD space on LET. If I remembered correctly his offer is for a server in Germany but everything seems to lead to Russia..

    I have a VPS with them, no issues with it. I actually have over 150 VPS' and a half dozen or so are problematic, but universev isn't one of them. I've had the VPS for 3-4 months.
