I was planning to watch NFL. Now I am setting up a couple of VPSs. I hate you.
I still can't believe this actually worked.
I can't believe I just sign up with them
Oh my, this is pretty unbelievable freebie!
I have one thing to complain though!
I had 2.5GB/60GB on my account and the freebie 'only' bumped me up to 6GB/80GB, not 6.5GB/90GB! Haha, sorry but had to say it 
Thank you @Incero for the great upgrade!
I tried. I failed. I now have new Wable and LET accounts :-)
Thanks @Incero for the awesome deal!
couldn't resist.. I am back on wable..
Even though I have no use for it, couldnt resist getting one. Eh what the heck, i spend almost $8 per day on coffee.
Fuk, I asked stupid question and they closed my account.
That's unsettling. Could you rate the stupid level of the question , on a scale of 1 to 10? (if you don't want to provide details)
That aside, Incero is my sugar daddy for the day.
First the tshirt, then this. (still waiting for the tshirt to arrive)
Something along "sending a ticket to test your response time". I thought they were friendly enough to just provide some short answer. Guess I should have fabricated some questions or issues instead. But anyway...
What... I don't even... why would you do that?
Literally to test response time? Yes, I did say it was stupid question, though I don't think it's wrong to do so. It's normal for a customer wanting to know the level of support from people behind the service. Heck, even some providers use "average response/resolution time" scripts. Sometimes I test other providers with simple questions. Anyways, I'm not here to contest anything.
@DalComp If you look at the reviews you'll see the response time is pretty solid.
I've ticketed twice and both took a few hours, but I ticketed in the middle of the night about a billing issue (low priority), and the NYC downtime (they were updating folks elsewhere though, so I knew it was more than just me having a problem).
@mikeyur I know, it was months ago when Wable was first launched hence there weren't as many reviews.
You didn't tell us how many minutes it took though.
lol. 10 minutes, plus 3 days for the refund.
10 minutes is good
I can't believe Wable has no EU locations
Hell, that's good enough for me. Signed up.
Obviously sucks for you, but from my perspective the 'no bullshit' approach to ticket handling makes Wable even more attractive. If they're not wasting time dealing with silliness, they're responding to my genuine tickets faster.
Really fighting the urge on this one. If there was an EU location I think I'd have pulled the trigger, although two of locations are pretty decent for latency to the UK.
@Nekki - the 'no bullshit' approach
This ^^ A provider who does not rate the incoming $ above eveything else.
time to setup firewall and friends
Glad it's not just me then, My Wable IP's seen to have more login attempts than any other.
Actually a Hetzner server I just deployed 52 minutes ago wins.
Last failed login: Mon Oct 13 19:44:43 CEST 2014 from 122.225.109.211 on ssh:notty
There were 1802 failed login attempts since the last successful login.
Now I know why Ryan wouldn't answer me when I asked why. You drove up ticket response time to test ticket response time? That's borderline sabotage
Not just you at all. It's like an instant honey pot on provision. Kind of makes me laugh, poor suckers think they're getting in...
Does make me wonder how many are compromised in the first few minutes due to easy passwords.
Users should choose a strong password, we would suggest 20+ chars/numbers/symbols. As a minimum we require the following which helps prevent users from using "password" as their password;
"The root password must be 8 characters or longer and must contain upper case, lower case, and numbers."
using password as your password even temporarily is crazy. I use password1 it's genius, nobody ever gets it.
on a side note though as a minimum I always go straight in with DROP everything but ssh, fail2ban, denyhosts, ssh key, observium and couple of other little dittys of my own.
Often that is before I have even decided what I am going to do with the VPS/Server.
Too bad, no EU locations
Hesitating because of that.
