Invoice: 1336715, thanks!

This got skipped as well above. You would have gotten double plan smith which was original double bandwidth. I'll just go ahead and give you double bandwidth since it's basically nothing anyway.

Ah, would be nice to get it for free but can't complain about any freebie

Thanks!

A big thank you to @bakageta for taking the Gallon of Wet Platinum Lube off the table.

I'm waiting for the Service Transfer thread for that Wet Platinum Lube.
You know, I have several DC motors that need a few drips every year.
It'll last me 1000 years.

@pan21 said: That's what I copied from Re-install OS link

They told you 3 times to go to Control Panel, you did seems to not understand that, so here is a picture. Click that. Boom, no more limits and more images to use!

Limit is there because (iirc) some fuckers were reinstalling systems 24/7 after getting it provisioned and killed the I/O.

thanks, I thought this page, is Control Panel, and then I clicked the link below...
in that "Re-install OS" page, It shows

Total Re-installs: 1 of 1 (0 free) - If you run out, please contact support and we'll reinstall it for you.

really appreciate that, I will use the other link when needed

the deal keeps changing, you may find a very attractive package, but the problem is that you may also find other unexpected traps, and remember, it's non-refundable, PLEASE READ THE ADDITIONAL TERMS

Limited SupportI understand that I waive my right to a refund for this special offer. I understand I will not receive a refund if my service is suspended. I understand special offers come with limited support: VirMach will only provide support to ensure my service functions. I understand once I add this product and an invoice is generated, I am under contractual obligation to make the payment. I agree to immediately be billed $15 per 15 minutes for any support requests opened that is not part of my level of support.

Thanks lol, but I've been a customer for around 2 years now. Not my first rodeo.

Didn't login into my panel yet to check, but I remember someone saying that there was no Ubuntu 20.04 template, is that correct?

not from Re-install OS, but you will find in Control Panel

@soulchief said:

you can't if you buy a VPS from their Cyber Monday flash sale page
this is a hidden rule to force customers to pay for reinstall default os template

You get 1 reinstall from the client panel, but if you go into the VPS control panel you have unlimited reinstalls.

thanks, just found it,

btw, this randomly generated deal is very cool, just need a lot DIY

I'm 100% sure this is not mentioned in the term, and reinstalling default OS template doesn't require any human support. It's unfair to have such a hidden rule. Please make this function available

You can reinstall as much as you want. There are options in the control panel to reinstall using templates. Also, in the VPS' control panel, there are other distro ISO's under the CDROM tab that you can install manually.

There are two control panels - VirMach and the actual VPS' control panel located under Additional Tools section. It's the SolusVM control panel.

Go to the SolusVM control panel and do a reinstall from there.

I like Buffalo, seems better long-term for climate change (hydropower). I cringe a bit when I see locations like Phoenix.

thanks, now I understand.
I was too over-worried because of the $15 per 15 mins term, and it wasn't clear what type of question I can ask in a ticket, don't want another $15 bill

How so? every year, there's an ***hole or two here that claim they're being cheated out of their $5.

I didn't find the other control panel earlier, but I got the message I have 0 free reinstall, and I also read the $15 for 15 mins term, which cause the confusion.
If that Re-install OS is just for 1 time, they should remove it, so won't cause unnecessary confusion

We feel panic that someone fails to understand the difference between WHMCS (1 reinstall) and SolusVM (unlimited reinstalls).
Maybe they need to brew a cup of tea with that Wet Platinum Lube, which would make them smarter.

I'm not an experienced user like you and others, whatever I used before have one control panel only, which is why I didn't look for another control panel

Well, yes, but 35GB still

I remember not that long ago some VirBot deals would have more RAM then disk (8GB RAM 5GB Disk). So 35GB is a vast improvement.

Yes, I have one of those! 8 GB RAM, 5 GB disk, only 100 GB bandwidth. Almost unusable I thought about trying to attach some cloud-based storage like Backblaze but got lazy.
