    Nevermind. You guys are looking a bit sus, I will wait for others to review

    I know there were apparently some issues with the previous owner of the company but thus far the new owner seems pretty solid to me. The performance (re my earlier yabs post) isn't top tier but it is also a much better price point than those that perform better. For $10/year you can't expect to be getting top tier performance, right?

    What I can say is that @hostthebest has been very helpful and transparent about everything (ie the past issues of the company). Yes, the ticket times aren't blazingly fast but again I'm paying less than $1 month for a decent VPS server. I think it is a very fair deal from everything that I've experienced thus far. Hell, I'd go so far as to say I think is a a pretty good bang for your buck deal. I have a number of other VPS instances with other companies that I pay more for and don't get the same level of service.

    What I also appreciate is that this company is open to criticism and wants to try and make things for their customers as best they can. How many other providers can say the same?

    So yeah, I was a bit hesitant at first too but hell for $10 I figured I'd give it a shot and I'm really glad I did. I would recommend others give it a try too. As long as your expectations aren't too high (thinking that you deserve $10/month service for less than a fraction of that) I think you will be very happy just like me.

    Valid points. I am not saying they lack support or have poor performance. I just want to make sure they are legit provider, that's it

    Their egress speed looks a little uhh... Abysmal. Ingress and latency-wise it looks fine. Maybe something's wrong with their networking?

    We had some abusers as some of the plans did not have any network limits. This was not intended. That said, I created a VM on each node where we received a complaint after the fact and have the following results. iPerf and speedtest-cli. Happy to work with anyone having performance problems via the ticket system.

    E5-26xx v3/E5-26xx v4 means you're on Haswell/Broadwell platform. These doesn't have any NVMe Integration by default. So, I'm assuming, you're using some sort of PCIe NVMe adapter though not sure how that can utilize 10 units of NVMes. Again, 4TB NVMe means those are QLC Nand which has very short lifespan. WebNX would never provide these sort of configuration. So, you're probably colocating ? Offering such unsustainable price with QLC Nand is a big danger for the customers.

    Hi, what network (AS) is for this location?

    Service in LA and Dallas are from our owned servers via AS40676 (Psychz). Utah is from AS18450. Currently this promo is not yet available in Dallas. That location only has storage vps and dedicated servers.

    In Utah those servers are rented and yes they are E5 v3 or v4. WebNX if you search are masters of this sort of configuration and we got a few 10 x arrays. They don't have them anymore to knowledge at least publicly. Yes, the price at first glance is unsustainable however in mass it actually is more cost effective than offering a 1GB plan for 1.00 and dealing with Stripe or CC fees. At least this way we know we have a customer for 12 months. That said, we advertise on other forums and the minimum for most plans is 5.00/mrc. We also do backups which we are tailoring to ensure we can get it done in a considerable timeframe each day without affecting performance + storage requirements there as these are offsite.

    So yes we will eventually increase for new customers and likely will do so for other locations. If your interested in trying our services please let me know.

    Sorry your disappointed. We will make it right.
    Currently making more capacity available in Utah and LA. It will be done today and your order will be activated. Normally there is automatic provisioning which we have turned off due to the number of orders. We want to control how these get provisioned. Hopefully you understand.

    When this happens you may need to resize. Most of the time this happens with the Ubuntu 20 template. We are going to fix this but we have ubuntu 22 and ubuntu 23.10 also.
    fdisk -l
    df -h
    resize2fs /dev/vda

    You should see the storage as expected.

    Looks like a tasty offer. Sadly though on the wrong side of the ocean for (most, I guess) Europeans.
    Nevertheless, compliments!

    This offer is coming to New York soon and to the UK/EU shortly thereafter. Just a few more logistical things to work out but it will be a smaller release probably for a few hundred VM's initially.

    I know its been mentioned there are a lot of new customers but wanted to share my current TOP, 40% steal time. If you buy one now you could be in the same boat, maybe it will get better over time but not sure

    We have some automation now to handle some scenarios of node abuse. Also there are network upgrades in place to handle demand of current and future activations. I am happy that we get feedback like this and we are up for the challenge to maintain the quality of service as advertised.

    IPv6 deployment for all customers who didn't receive a /64 in LA during the order activation is now complete. We will add a IPv6 address for you automatically and you can add or remove as per your requirements from the VPS control panel. Thank you all for your continued support and business. It is appreciated very much.

    Similar story for me, too. Paid for it two days ago, still pending. No word back via support ticket or live chat :neutral:

    We have a few orders that are still pending for Utah. For those who opted for LA then we have automatic provisioning. As Utah is filling up, we had to turn off automatic provisioning temporarily. Your order will be activated shortly and some tickets were placed on hold if they asked for migration to Utah from LA or vice versa.
