Changing SSH port to a random number. Maybe birthday, disable password login and enable SSH keys
Yes that is what I usually do if fail2ban doesn't stop the load
To be honest, in my opinion, you (as a provider, DewlanceVPS) calling another provider names without any valid proof makes you look like a "kid", rather than making the other provider look bad.
He hasn't reached that age yet where his parents will teach him manners.
Just as a follow on from my earlier post, I have had quite a change of heart on EvoBurst, after buying the server a little while ago, and more or less letting it just sit there, I have attempted to just install a simple monitoring system on to the server (to see what I could use it for and what the stability is like), and I can confidently say that I have never used such a slow server before... Not quite sure what to use it for, but it was quite the disappointment.
Apparently its a troll..
How can you assume that your client is selling VPN could they not be using it themselves?
Assumption again.
Another assumption..
@ATHK - in the sense of privacy for the customer, i'm not going to say which VPN Company they are. but they are quite well known, and the server locations etc were added to their site. so not an assumption.
Okie dokie I wasn't aware that you knew what they're up to on their box.
@ATHK - Only after i recieved the notification did i check out their website which had our servers listed to it, and had a look at their TOS etc.
All good, wasn't having a dig at you just wanted to know
You are provider, you should then behave like all providers here. Be polite and respect others. And you should reconsider changing text on your webpage regarding autoboot(TM) thingy. Read it multiple times if you are not able to find nonsense inside.
Hello,
Just giving my brief review of EvoBurst. I have 2 services with them (Budget and Mega). I only use both of them for my dev server. As other may said, for the price they offered and the performance I get, I can not complain more. Ryan also pretty flexible guy in regards of his promo offered, I ever asked for pretty a custom (upgraded) promo and he give me a good one.
Yes, there was some abuse on the server that make the performance really bad, but after submit a ticket, Ryan fix the issue and server back to pretty normal state. For virtualmin installation using Ubuntu 12.04 it was took around 45minutes before fix, but after the fix, it down only took around 14minutes. I know it's not a fast one... but I think it's still acceptable.
I'm not trying to judge anybody here.. just giving my honest brief review of this EvoBurst service.
Thank you.

Several days ago one of Evoburst's newer nodes was offline for a substantial time, exactly how long I don't know, but certainly more than 24 hours. The sign-up mail from Evoburst indicates that support is only provided via the Lowendspirit forum, so I posted a message about this in the support section.
It was silently deleted.
Shortly thereafter I received an email response acknowledging the problem and explaining the cause; users were given a month's credit (~€0.40) . OK, these things happen. No problem.
But I found it really lame that Evoburst deleted my report of the problem from their support forum. What kind of company deletes its customers' posts in this way?
@cbrace - Downtime was less then 24 Hours. and updates were provided via the announcement system on WHMCS.
Our email templates for Evoburst.com products do not include anything with a link to Lowendspirit forum.
So, you obviously didn't look at the announcement area, nor actually try to put in a ticket to request an update.
The only VPS Servers that have LES forum listed in the welcome email, is the NAT IPv4 Products.

Could you PM me about this please, with your forum username, I have just checked the forum and can see no evidence of a deleted post but I might be missing something.
I would find it quite disappointing to think one of the mods deleted a post about this sort of thing without good reason and am happy to go deeper in to the logs.
Just a quick update, it may actually be impossible for me to prove this one way or the other but now I believe I have tracked down who you are on the LES forum and have no reason to doubt what you are saying.
Can I just confirm this was actually an LES product and not one of EvoBursts products which have nothing to do with LES so the LES forum with not really be relevant any more then using the LES forum for RansomIT or Inception Hosting Support, maybe that is why it was deleted?
They did that to me too
Just to confirm, did you post a support question regarding Evoburst or what provider was it about ?
I don't want superior and lightning-fast services for 7 dollars, my vps dosn't boot and I can't rebuild it, I can't use it at all, this is theft, or is too much to expect that it works? I opened three tickets and never got an answer in two weeks, I deleted the password on my password storage system and I will forget that service and I don't give a f... about 7 dollars but if I get 7 dollars from a person and doesn't give him nothing and I don't answer, that's a theft and nothing else. he does this thing because he is on the web but he was on the street he doesn't get my money, I > @mpkossen said:
Why do you pretend proof and we must believe your words? please post some proof.
@ScienceOnline I already asked you several times if you have a ticket # for me, but still you did not provide anything.
Submit a ticket.
That's not how we deal with customers.
When was this and for what product?
Mods cant delete posts any more BTW..
Ticket number please. Guys, provide some proof.
In fact, this VPS was one of the more reliable ones I've had.
Here's a screenshot:
As you can see, my 64MB box has stayed up for about 85 days.
To be honest I can say first hand as I offer similar services and have for years now that this is probably a classic case of buyer remorse.
They probably did not bother reading what they were buying, ticked every box without reading anything thinking they could get some cheap resources to abuse, then when they get a reality check they lash out like spoiled upset children on forums and when asked for proof they go quiet.
My only complaint about my NanoVZ is that damned ploop that eats up over 16% of the 1GB of disk space it comes with. While 1GB of disk space isn't much to begin with, it's even more painful when ~150MB of it goes to ploop. I mean with 1GB of disk space nobody is doing intensive IO and I highly doubt they are doing snapshots of the VPSs so simfs would have worked just fine for them unless they need to keep the inode count down which I doubt is a concern.
Ultimately I don't care either way because I bought the VPS just to run a single network test last month and have no use for it anymore but I figured since we are all complaining I would contribute something real to the conversation.
And for those who are talking about uptime/downtime, here's my NanoVZ 64MB VPS on their North Carolina location (I started it today and I'll keep the monitor going for a while for reference so people can compare it to their own monitoring): https://nodeping.com/reports/checks/mdhimw0n-odeo-4bsd-ak3d-qgc36pycrmkt
Either proofs or you're a cheap lier.
Odd that it shows "0 users" when you're logged in to it.
