I am on node NYHDD10GKVM2 and having the issue. Waiting patiently to see this issue get resolved asap. Thanks for your quick reply Virmach
Hi guys,
After @VirMach replied my thread here and i dm to them, as per my request, they cancelled my service and FULL REFUND my 3.5 USD
They are great provider but in this time i am just no luck. Virmach have great responsibility to their customer
Case solved
Thank you
They are a sh*t provider with horribly oversold fragile nodes. Support is not any good or prompt either. They are good enough for cheap experimental VMs, anyone using them for production use is going to learn it the hard way.
i know it’s very low speed, what do you expect for $3.50? Lower your expectations or increase a budget and move to different provider!
Better than 3MB/s but least they have noticed there is an issue and they need to fix it.
WTF are you talking about?
maybe he just hates Colocrossing.
BUT @VirMach is here to prove that CC/Deluxe is GOOD, NICE and GENTLE! Don't put them in the same bag as all other CC hosts! That's why they are the CC provider you can trust: they represent everything positive CC brought to LET/LEB since they bought it.
One good company can't fix the bad reputation brought by the (25) bad ones.
There are definitely disadvantages to CC but they are not as bad as people make them out to be. CC is bad because they are cheap and attract bad crowds, but it's good because it's cheap so eh...
Anyway, there's probably more CC providers around on LET than most people are aware of. I know at least one provider on LET who uses mainly CC and isn't virmach and there's probably a few more I'm not aware of
What, you mean like the 20 different brands or so that they used to scam people and then closed... https://www.zdnet.com/article/20-vps-providers-to-shut-down-on-monday-giving-customers-two-days-to-save-their-data/
LOL
They are obviously part of the bad crowd that I was talking about. Now, I did not want to talk about other providers in a virmach thread, but anyway... Smarthost apparently colocates mostly (only?) at CC and I've seen nothing but positive comments about smarthost on LET (though I have not tried them). I'm 100% positive there are more CC hosts on LET that will not turn out to be scammers too.
I know there's a circle jerk about CC being bad and all, but are they really that bad? I don't think so -- but still I would avoid CC unless it's dirt cheap
It's too bad you missed the Servarica BF deal for 500GB $12/year (IPv6 only) backup.

I don't see that anyone here has offered you cheap 500 GB alternative storage yet.
Go with Hosthatch or Letbox, decent and cheap.
This reminds me of the funny thing that I have a 100Gbps network link operating at 600Kbps… because the fiber isn't plugged correctly.
Have you tried unplug and plug it in again?
My website https://yoursunny.com is hosted at @SmartHost Los Angeles location and it's on Psychz Networks.
I think @Virmach is just a bit too busy lately, due to the mountain of tickets coming in from BF.
Today, I found myself with a US$160 invoice (#816307) from them for a cancelled service. Not a big deal, since I have no payment method on file, just need it cancelled eventually, when they get to it. As long as it's cancelled before it goes to collections (like they said during BF), I'll be okay.
So, it wasn't just me! The messed up part is I do have a payment method with them, and I was charged! (After seeing the e-mail, I did set the limit to 0 before they can charge other cancelled services hopefully)
@Virmach, please comment here: Should we file tickets for these invoices (for services cancelled before due date) that were paid by a not-very-wise-automated-system (?) on your end, or have you guys realized the issue, and will credit the changes back to our cards??
Smarthost apparently colocates mostly (only?) at CC and I've seen nothing but positive comments about smarthost on LET (though I have not tried them). I'm 100% positive there are more CC hosts on LET that will not turn out to be scammers too.
Only one of our thirteen current sites is a CC location.
We built out there because we had requests for the specific location from a large client of ours.
I can't speak to any of the stuff that goes on about them, but as far as colocation goes...they have been solid for us.
Reliable network, organized, timely support, and reasonable pricing.
Only complaint would be the lack of IPv6, but we knew that going in, just not happy still not added of course.
We stay out of any other drama regarding them...

I opened up a ticket, since I got no intention of paying, even if it means they fire me as a client (I doubt it because I did nothing wrong).
It’s probably a mistake on their end somewhere, might be an effort to get those bots to pay those unwanted invoices or WHMCS screwed up.
I’m not in a hurry to get the ticket processed (unless it somehow suspends all my other containers for some other reason, since there isn’t any legitimate bill due soon), as long as they around voiding the invoice, I’ll be fine.
That US$160 invoice was from a Easter Egg, I cancelled the service before my free year ran out (SSD32G renews at US$160/mo... ouch) Virmach is still awesome and easy very tolerant of me as well, must be just a hiccup.
Hopefully you get your refund soon! Please don’t chargeback on them, they should correct it but they probably do need to know!

I have one of these storage servers and it has always been slower than molasses in January.
It's not as good of a deal but I'm paying $24/year for 250 GB space with BudgetNode and it's working well for me. https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/136417/512mb-kvm-18-year-2gb-kvm-3-99-month-paid-yearly-500gb-kvm-storage-3-99-month-paid-yearly. Seems out of stock at the moment though. https://www.lowendstorage.win/ is a decent reference for storage plans.
MrVM has decent storage plans too, if you're okay with OpenVZ instead of KVM, and primarily IPv6-based service (it does have NAT IPv4)
@SmartHost @yoursunny
I apologize for the misinformation, I have no idea why I thought smarthost was mostly at CC--it must be because all the locations you offered in the past screamed COLOCROSSING to me. I'll see myself out
