That makes sense. I wish they would have communicated this to me in this manner. Between the initial "try it again shortly" reply and closing the ticket and the last response of "it somehow got powered off" it rubbed me the wrong way. I imagined someones four year old running through the racks pushing power buttons. Since I'm suffering from lack of sleep due to a project I needed this server for, I will try to be more patient in hopes that once it's fixed the server will be rock solid.
Their support is usually pretty decent...I always had sub 5-10 minute ticket response times from them and if something was wrong with my server they would usually figure it out relatively fast. I had some tickets with them that were kinda "ehhh" but for the most part I thought they did a great job considering the prices of their servers.
That makes me feel better. I like hearing good reviews from actual customers. One of the reasons I went with them is because of the good review and prices. Oh well, 5 hours of downtime now. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. Maybe the server caught on fire. I was running it kind of hard, lol.
Huh. Well it might be one of those same people behind multiple brands situations that are very common in the hosting world. It doesn't really bother me. I run multiple brands. I just thought it was odd that they were linking to their reseller but if they are combined like that then it makes sense.
Anyone received a dedi from this offer? Just wondering what the current provisioning time is.
About a day for me, but they made a mistake with the first user's password. So it really took 2 days after the second reinstall.
Got mine delivered today. Just a little over 24hours
Been waiting since 27'th and no reply on ticket, It's a good deal so I guess they got a much larger response than anticipated!
Well... They probably expected to be sold out?
They are getting replenished.
Didn't finsh typing and Omfg :They replied in less than a minute!!!
I thought leaseweb nl was well handled (they had an issue with the SAN) but this is simply absurdly good.
Oak tower will need a nuclear power plant lol.
Just got my Core2Duo.
Drive is just shy of 5 years old, but no bad sectors.
They set the server up on a proper /30 which was a pleasant surprise.

Just over 5 years on the HDD, no bad sectors. Serverbear coming when I get the chance.
Ordered the $15 one as soon as it was on stock, over a day ago. Seems like a nice catch, waiting for it to be delivered now.
@FrankZ What do you use for that report?
you need to have haldaemon running

Thanks! Just a little stronger than the Core2Duo, but the extra RAM and the HDD makes that $5 worth it.
Agreed. Would make a nice little remote Plex server for someone.
For some reason they rebooted my server just now
Sorry to bump this topic, but I'd like to just post my Geekbench results. They are nothing to brag about, but for the price it's perfectly reasonable.
My 'server' came with a ECS G31T-M7 (unsure which revision) motherboard.
As of this moment they're out of stock, though.
Just ordered the Intel Core2Duo, I guess the last one because it's now unavailable. The $10 Atoms are still available.
UPDATE: 10 minutes later it was fully delivered:
