Price ?
That's awful response time.
I had windows vps with them, great value for 5$
Support: days … i am a customer!
P.S - i dont know the situation lately, last ticket was in April.
Nah more like 10 hours.
check on the website lol
Huh? Well I always DM'ed Abdullah first then made a ticket, so he had an eye on it I guess.
How much yours cost ?
can confirm their windows plans is good with those generous specs, however now the network seems to be capped below 300Mbps not as advertised
Well, they actually sponsored me for my project
https://github.com/LinuxForExynos
So you should better check on the prices on the site itself.
They had 500Mbit on IPv4 for a while, check on it again.
i wish..

Hmm, didn't know that.
Apart from the fact that the support response times have now increased from under 1 hour to over 10 hours (sometimes up to 24 hours), not all questions are answered directly and you have to ask them several times, I am satisfied so far.
Yes, VNC is offered. But it does not always work. Yes, you can include ISO via the panel. However, a Windows ISO with almost 6 GB did not work. The file size was exceeded. The support then added the ISO for me.
The backup function does not work for some time. When this will be provided again, until today no answer.
But what annoys me the most is the fact to feel like a second choice customer. My tariff includes 4 CPU cores, 16GB RAM and 480GB disk. Why some customers are promised more disk for the same package is not entirely clear to me.
Greetings
Yeah, this is a bit frustrating. I was one of the early adopters, in part because it was cheap enough for a year that it was worth taking the risk trying it. However, his offerings change weekly, and every offer since has been better than what I got, even with my doubled disk quota. I'm not bitter about it, but if I was looking at it now, it would be in the back of my mind that he'll randomly change the offering tomorrow, and would probably hold out to wait and see what that might be rather than snapping it up.
I'm not sure about the support. He's based in India, but seems very slow replying to requests in either Indian timezone or UK timezone, where he's presenting the business to be. He has actually dealt with the support things I wanted (i.e. doubled disk and rDNS), but neither with any alacrity. To me, it feels like this is a side-hustle and he's doing a full-time job elsewhere and just checking on support tickets when he has a chance in the evening.
The machine was down for 6 hours, again right in the middle of the day in his timezone, and from 6am until gone noon in the UK. There was no response from support to that. When the machine fairly was usable again, IPv6 was unrouteable for about a day. He then said this was due to a kernel panic and he needed to reboot it, but then there were a further 3 unannounced reboots that day. Since then, it's been stable again though.
The network is another issue. He advertises unlimited bandwidth, but then in the control panel there's a cap, which he says he will adjust if you ask. But why have the cap there at all (and set quite low) if it's unlimited? The network is a hodge-podge of Hetzner IPv6 and OVH IPv4. I can understand why he's done that, but it shows it's a budget offering. And the network speed. The cap has been up and down all over the place, although it does now seem to have settled around 500Mbps. But even that has a weird scaling thing going on. If you have something downloading with an interactive progress bar, the speed is up and down every second. It'd be more useful if it was just a constant speed cap, rather than fast one second and almost nothing the next.
But overall, it's an OK server for playing with. As it's a Hetzner Ryzen machine it's pretty nippy. But I wouldn't have enough confidence to use this in production. Maybe as he gains experience as a provider, things will settle down more.
I believe they are a side business of webhorizon so they have a few years of experience.
He was specifically asked about that somewhere else, and he claimed that there was a family relationship, but the businesses were completely separate.
EDIT: maybe I mistaken, it seems he didn't reply after the question was posed... But I'm sure I remember a denial. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3431702/#Comment_3431702

Maybe something changed.
Cloud V is actually a Side Business of WebHorizon, infact it was Abdullah who had given me the sponsorship. So yeah its pretty clear.
Cloud Five has been getting its own team, and is still work-in-progress. So yeah.
I have started getting 1Gbit as you saw on the YABS. They could have just upgraded it a while ago.
I tested it this morning. I get 500 Mbps.
I reinstalled however...
So reinstall could get you greater bandwidth?
No, gives the system access to the new NIC I guess.
Hey,
Thanks for your review!
We don't allow web VNC at the moment but can use a client for example RealVNC after setting vnc password in control panel
This makes some extra steps I know & we plan to support noVNC web in future.
Noted your feedback.
tightvnc gang rise up
Rapid Fire? I thought is is a new product line of OVH.
I am bad at writing things.
Also yeah it sounds OVHish i just realized.
