The issue I see is that with $4 and $8 (after spookified 50% discount) plans are not competitive with other offers on LET
HX Servers needs to review business plans, revenue outlook and long term growth.
This is going to be pretty challenging and BF deals are not going to make things easy either
@hxservers
My terminated VPS had Ryzen 7950
The replacement VPS has EPYC Milan
so it is not same replacement
Not defending them in any way, but that may be due to CPU passthrough not being enabled (7950's show up as Milans)
If you're CPU is showing 4.5ghz or more, it's not an EPYC. If it's showing under that, you're correct.
system info
EPYC Milan 3394 MHz
Yeah that's definitely not a 7950.
I think it is too unreliable source for virtual machine. Better measure single core performance and if it is within acceptable threshold take it.
How is min/max CPU frequency unreliable? They don't make 4.5ghz EPYC. The highest frequency EPYC model is AMD EPYC 9274F @ 4.05 GHz, which would be at least in the ballpark - 3.4 ghz is a far cry from 4.5.
I mean, you won't see the real frequency from within the virtual machine. However as long as actual performance is within your expectations, you should be fine even with generic QEMU CPU shown.
@hxservers Maybe you can post a screenshot of the Node ?
Now iam also curious, again false advertisement ?
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor|1 physical processor; 4 cores; 4 threads|4x 4499.98 MHz|
Looks pretty real to me.
My client ended up with an EPYC - didn't matter because it wasn't super important, but it certainly wasn't a Ryzen.
@hxservers I will stop now in this discussion, but you have to take your clients more serious and stop lying. Do these 2 things and your bussiness will flow, even when your not the cheapest !
Please. Open. A. Ticket. We're actually quite happy to assist our customers with CPU issues. Due to limited availability at the time we ordered more dedicated servers, some hosts are 5950X or a Threadripper 3990X. Where your VPS ends up at time of creation is typically the best spot for it, but we'll be happy to migrate you to another node that is 7950X.
It seems your replacement VPS was put on either a 5950X or a ThreadRipper 3990X.
Really? Because we don't use EPYC CPUs unless your client was in Dallas.
Well you do use EPYC CPUs given my client got one in Dallas...so not sure where the "surprise" is coming from. The thing that's most surprising is the fact you admit that the hardware specs you advertise on your website are actually false.
Should have had your #2 guy updating your website and PR work instead of doing announcements.
The hardware specs for Dallas was clearly listed as EPYC 7501 on our product ordering pages.
In case you forgot, from your site:
"All VPS plans are hosted on enterprise NVMe SSDs, powered by AMD RYZEN processors, and protected by an anti-DDoS network. An intuitive VPS control panel allows for total control of VPS, including OS reloads, change OS, reset root/administrator passwords and VPS backups."

I appreciate your willingness to work through the issues. I strongly feel that taking care of issues and being transparent about it builds the reputation needed by every business.
Thank you.

This is accurate. Currently, all plans are hosted on enterprise NVMe SSDs, currently powered by AMD RYZEN, etc. Since we are no longer hosting in Dallas, we will not be changing these statements on our main website.
When ordering a product, it's best to read the product description on the checkout page, as we don't update our website as often as we update our product pages via our support portal. We have just updated our main website however. Thanks for the feedback regardless.
Completed.
it's a tough business, mess up once and you'll be trampled
Mess up and own up to it with truth and I think most folks are pretty accommodating.
This situation was anything BUT that.
can cpu passthrough be enabled, please?

Hello again,
No, we do not use CPU Passthrough on our KVM hosts for compatibility and live migration reasons.
We've already asked LET to remove this post, as we cannot edit it. We couldn't edit it when Dallas went live either, but we made a comment when announcing Dallas was available what the hardware was, and it was clear what the hardware was on the ordering page.
ok.
thanks @hxservers for taking care of the ticket
No problem, happy to help our customers where we can. Thanks for sticking with us!
