UNREAL DEAL >> $7 A YEAR KVM VPS << CLICK NOW - WELCOME TO THE ROCK™

FrankCastle

I can't comment on the performance yet myself (I'm still trying to prove I'm a valid customer and not fraud) but with $7/year deals like this you can't expect them to break any records. Plus stated uses from the original post:

Dev/test environments, staging, CI tools
Lightweight web apps, landing pages, APIs, bots
Learning, sandboxing, and homelab tinkering

All of those seem like very valid use cases even with a really slow CPU. As long as it isn't oversold as much as Massivegrid did and it doesn't have a ton of CPU steal it should be useable.

Unfortunately my ipv4 is on blacklist. Is this something support can solve for me?

tpoll

GLWS

squeeze

Excellent offer🥇
For $7/year the only complaint one can have is the reliability and uptime which are yet to be tested, only time will tell ⌛
I got one 👍

will IPv6 be offered later?

Taking it the other way, one could also say: "that's only $700 for 100 years"

excellent viewpoint

Been waiting more than 12 hours. First wrong server location, not what i did order. And after they make new server in correct location its network dont work at all. No route to vps and outside from vps. Dns dont work, no pings no nothing. Only vnc console works thats it.

Hey Tandoor, sorry for the hiccups, i'll handle the scandle. Slight issue with some of the IPS it seems. Give me a bit here.

If it makes you feel better, my LAX VPS has been unreachable since I executed an OS install after getting it. So their hypervisor server or network may be the problem... (assuming we're both in LAX). Ticket PFZ-161689 - hasn't really been acknowledged by support for 3 hrs

The NYC VPS is working fine. no issues there.

JohnnySac

I have the same issue. The Buffalo, NY VPS works great but the LA one has no network in, or out. It sounds like DediRock knows about it so I didn't create a ticket.

Hey Igctt, yup on it. Some growing pains here, thanks for your patience with us

FrankCastle

People complaining about issues not having been resolved in 3, 5, even 12 hours when they are paying $7/year is crazy to me. Usually with super cheap deals like this support might take 48 hours, we are the lowest priority for good reason. As long as the issues DO actually get fixed at some point you just need to have a little patience. No one should expect Wagyu steak at McDonald's.

zed

What's the minimum cost you feel would be appropriate to get your vps in the location you selected and to have connectivity?

Equating those basics with "Wagyu steak at McDonald's" is also kind of crazy.

Anyway I'm sure @DediRock makes good on it, he seems pretty responsive in general.

I'm on it random issue with the IPS assigned to the node, about 40 customers effected. Working fast on it

Friends who want to buy it, please note that the network in Los Angeles is very poor, and packets will be lost in the United States. Refunds are not supported.
