    i am bit late here.. i don't see any option in dashboard to migrate/upgrade or buy new (regular priced per month plan) at crunchbits. Will I have to forcibally look for another provider?

    How did you manage to ignore 5 pages of discussion and whole e-mail that literally says "open a ticket"?

    Idling 2k worth of servers? Are you out of your mind? What is even point of wasting so much money if you don't intend to use it. Is this some sort of disease which I'm not aware of?

    Some location and network is hard to get later, for example, host virtual's hongkong location. I keep it from 2013-2018, that's over $1200, in case I need a fast hongkong proxy.
    The disease is called procrastination, I renewed and redeem some domains for 10 years.
    They are for WordPress business but I only use 2 of them now.
    For the $2000 VPS, I originally wanted to use them to replace some old servers, but moving hundreds of websites was too much work, so I put it off for over a year.

    That's not the biggest waste.

    ...
    Running a WP business requires not only the essential plugins, but also a lot of alternatives.

    A lot of FOMO lessons have been learned.

    If you're running a business, I guess that kind of spending is justified.

    ...and then I bought two nearly dead birds at Massive Grid. This is bad.

    Can you please clarify a bit more about massivegrid since I bought a server from them and want to know what to expect? Thanks!

    @yoursunny said: BuyVM cutting 1GB when?

    >

    For us the 512's were the gateway to heavy abuse. The 1G's still get abused, but it's enough of a pay bump that it scares most of them off.

    The other big one was moving away from pro-rate. the $2/m plans were like $0.50 at some points of the month due to prorate, so kids loved them as burner boxes.

    Francisco

    From host perspective, whare are abuse? I see some host block port 25 possibly to avoid spam mail, our great @jar talk about people sending a lot of spam mails. Other than that what other things can be possible abuse by clients? Curious to understand.

    Is crunchbits being DDoS'ed?
    IPv4 packet loss 40% at last hop with latency over 600ms, IPv6 completely broken, BGP session down.

    Which location? I've not noticed anything in either POP and I have rather sensitive alerts it seems.

    So you do admit that IPv4 is better than IPv6, 60% packets do pass through even at high latency vs completely broken IPv6? :D

    Liberty Lake WA, still exploding.
    IPv4 and IPv6 are both reachable, with high loss and high latency.

  • Fairly new to the low end world. Started with a storage VPS from interserver, then stumbled on lowendtalk and found Crunchbits offering a similar plan. Night and day difference in performance vs interserer, I suspect due to SSD cache, we use it as our photo server to host a million or so forum images uploaded over the last 20 years, fast enough, tons of storage. So impressed got a xeon VDS from Crunchbits to run our forums. Probably overkill, but super happy with the performance, prices, and support. Best of luck, people may not be happy they are discontinuing loss leader plans, I never really understood why they offered them, especially given the skew in supply demand.

    Hello,

    After checking in with our system administrator, we do see an issue with 2 of our hypervisors, and our local team is working on them right now. We'll update you as soon as it's fixed.

  • Hmm, after saying nice things above, everything seems to be down, even crunchbits site, lol.
