NodeDeploy KVM Review
Hello there LET, I've decided to make a review about my service I've had with NodeDeploy for quite a while.
I've got a KVM machine with 1GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores, and on a (shared) 1Gbp/s port.
The OS is Arch Linux 2013 (They put that ISO in espcially for me 
)
I've got 1 IPv4 address and 10 IPv6 addresses.
Support:
The support is great and they help you out quite quickly without having to ask a ton of questions to get them do what you want them to do.

Control Panel:
SolusVM with a proper SSL certificate, I'm glad Chrome didn't moan about a non-valid SSL certificate, and RapidSSL is quite a good company.
Pricing:
Very cheap for the performance! NodeDeploy is absolutely way to go for the performance you get for the price!
Response Times:
The response time is actually very very long, but I have been told by their staff that they're only with 3 persons and they obviously can't be on all the time.
This is actually my first review and I know it isn't that long, but I hope it was quite alright for the first time.

I've never done a review, nor am I a fanboy...
Thanks for your very informative comment
Thanks for the review :-)
One question.. do you have virtio enabled?
Oh shit.... ._. disk driver = ide.
I'm such an idiot. I thought it would've been enabled.
Edit: It no like VirtIO
I don't see why IDE is default.
It plays nice with more operating systems if you're not going to use Linux.
Oh, I see. Thanks
@xBytez VirtIO usually has to be enabled preinstall
@xBytez is a KVM Fanboy...
Nah, he just hates OpenVZ without good arguments for it ;-) (oh wait, that IS a fanboy :P he likes xen though)
This can usually be fixed pretty easy
Your VPS should now boot up correctly
Thanks for the review!
Yeah, there's only 3 of us but we do try and answer all tickets ASAP.
I am sorry if you experienced a slow response time, but hey, we will try even harder now.
indeed, I love KVM and I take a big poohoo on OpenVZ. I like Xen/KVM though..
Like I said earlier to I don't know who on Skype:
no.1 KVM
no.2 Xen
no.999999999999999999999999 OpenVZ
Edit /etc/fstab and replace all occurrences of /dev/sdX with /dev/vdX (ie. sda -> vda) and save the file.
Now change back to Virtio again and reboot via SolusVM.
Your VPS should now boot up correctly
Thanks for that, I was kind of too lazy to search for an solution.
Updated the thread with a new I/O speed.
this is lousy service. I m open a support ticket but nodedeploy not answered , no connections to my server for 2 days.
