@drunkendog said: a) $35.04/yr - BUFFALO, NY / 4 vCPU / 8192M RAM / 35G SSD / 16000G BW / 1 IPs, renews 12/02/2022 Important: Still stuck on BF-SPECIAL-CREATE, but this can be sorted during the transfer (VirMach's busy enough without adding more tickets)

Hello @drunkendog - Is this still available?

EDIT: Oh nevermind. I can't get it because @VirMach requires you to be already in good standing for 6 months, and I'd be a brand new customer since I have no account with them.

I always do however provide all my legal billing information and so I've never had an issue with any provider, ever.

If @VirMach can possibly in my case forgo the thing, I can get a transfer on a new account. I don't know how that would work, but for some of my low level static/wp hosting needs, this server would be lovely. Thanks.

Yeah it is, I've shot you a pm.

With SIT tunnels you can have a /56 for each of your RackNerd and VirMach.
The benefit is that it can reach both Hurricane Electric and Cogent networks, and you are not limited to 5 tunnels.

Hi, how do I do this? I would like to have IPv6 on my VirMach VPS but I don't want to use Hurricane Electric

It’ll be 2024 before Virmach finally puts in Ryzen

Paid with PayPal. Tickets opened on both ends. Referenced his ticket # in mine. Opened ticket in Billing dept of @VirMach (which says it could be slower. Maybe I should have opened the ticket in general support?) Anyway.

I hope the transfer goes through in a couple of days and I don't have to wait too long. Thanks.

Thank you. I will need to reinstall Ubuntu then. I am currently using Debian.

It will work on Debian too, if you install netplan.io package.

You couldn't ticket RN for 60 seconds to ask for 100 IP's, but you're ok with the Virmach transfer process?

No, not suspicious at all.

Why wouldn't I be okay with it? I've never been a VirMach customer before. I just don't like to needlessly open tickets and bother people when I'm paying dirt cheap pricing. Support is time is money. I try to be respectful of that.

RN answers tickets in minutes or hours, Virmach in days or weeks.

It will probably be a week minimum before support does anything

Somewhat unfair. I've always had mine dealt with/resolved within 24hrs - perhaps one exception, with an apology. Much depends on how the Ticket is worded and what the issue is, I guess.

Oh, I've had better than average responses myself. We probably write better tickets that get dealt with easier. But I've given up on transfers after yoursunny didn't get dealt with in a month.

Edit: my previous tickets were back before Virmach dropped the outsourced support earlier this year.
