Will get back to you after the weekend.
True, especially because the majority does not do its homework before signing up, or maybe the knowledgeable ones have a gambling problem. :-)
Okay. Perhaps I should have said, "I would not be surprised to see..." or "I bet that..." Let's wait a year to see whether any disasters befall ChicagoVPS in the future. For its customers' sake, I hope not.
Monday's almost over.
Not for me
I'm sorry to hear that
but I do hope that I can get my awesome vps 
Nick is the man, I am sure he'll take care of you.
I think what we can take from this is that things have definitely got better since Chris was removed and Nick is doing a much better job.
Honestly though the smart business move at this point imo is to rebrand or swallow it in to the less tarnished by the past brand of HVH, let CVPS die, it does no one any favours when trying to build trust or reputation, the Internet does not forget.
Shoot me a PM boss.
So I was a customer for 3 years till Aug 2016. Had to leave because:
a. No Centos7 template... I requested support (May 2016), they said, no its causing issues with the host os, cannot create one.
b. Several times, the vps would be down (without explanation) and all it was doing is idling. Support would respond back, "Vps is working fine"
c. above.
Apologies to hear that, please let us know if you want to consider trying another service with us, I will give you the first month free to see if it is something you would like to continue with.
All I can say is Nick is awesome!
Thanks for the offer. No requirements currently. If something comes up, will check out.
Sounds good and most welcome!
I have to agree ^^
I secretly sneaked on that kvm-for-ten-bucks-train to NJ and first impression seems good.
I've been a customer with cvps before, but got rid of it a year ago after the last vps wasn't kept at a recurring price unlike told before. yet never really had remarkable issues with that old box, so wanted to give them another try (and another veerrry cheap box for me haha :-))
the billing/control panel is a bit messy, esp. the choice of templates/iso seems some kind of wildly thrown together. no debian 8 oob though.
after a lot of dist-upgrade only had time for a real quick benchmark, might do more including K4Y5 and geekbench later and will do a follow up after having it used for a while ;-)
system does respond quickly, slow dd io does not seem to hurt. as I will use this box most likely as a private vpn only, I don't care much either way ;-)
I have an "Enterprise VPS" in NJ since a couple of months now, and I can say it's pretty stable as for now. Sure, the numbers bellow are not fabulous, but are constant none the less.

I only pay $3.40 /mo using the recurring easter60 coupon code, so it's a no brainer for me.
@falzo thanks for your business. We are actively refreshing the templates currently. You'll see that soon.
@fredqc glad you are having a positive experience. Consider trying some instances at our other locations too!
Have any plans to expand CVPS to Seattle?
Not right now. Sorry
We wabt plans of $4/y
@VSNX_Nick Do you have a plan to improve the IO performance? it's indeed slow and below other providers.
If you are having a specific issue, please pop in a ticket and we will see what we can do for you and make sure you are provisioned on a new node.
link?
Snagged one of those $4/Yr plans a few months back that I occasionally use for temporarily hosting services during testing, migration etc.
Though the VPS has been idling for the better part, and I did have an issue where one of the support guys switched my IPv4 address with a blacklisted one without even informing me (which I eventually got back after exchanging a bunch of messages), it seems to be performing alright for something I had really low expectations to begin with.
yeah, that would be nice. It seems in SolusVM there is only Centos and via rebuild in billing panel there are more likely not the newest distros (but more fur sure).
yet there is a much preferable mount option available, which would work nicely with KVM and VNC console but there are lot of... unknown/custom isos to mount which doesn't look very reliable ;-)
no offense meant, as long as I can install any debian (which worked for sure as wheezy min is available) one can upgrade via apt...
I did a geekbench this morning for those who are interested http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/8012437
AES performance could be much better if the CPU flag would have been passed through, yet there is nothing to complain about performance for a 4 core KVM box at $10/y price tag. never seen another offer like that.
out of curiosity also did a real world timing on copy ~20k files:
not the fastet for sure, but keep in mind, that this was an exceptional special offer and most probably a simple space filler on that node.
so far the vps doesn't feel slow or lagging and I am very happy with it. will check more network speeds and setup softether later to see what else could be said about.
EDIT: some more network speeds, not much to complain about ;-)
