Yes, but for for example yesterday they provisioned stuck orders, fixed IPv6, worked on tickets... now we are in a weekend and customers should not take a timely response for granted in a loss leader promo.
If as next week advances there are still significant issues, then I will agree that it is way too much.
People with smooth sailing servers, can you post some more YABs for me to pretend benchmarking in the mean time?
Agree, it's not like BF where you 'might' be relying on getting a deal package and needing to migrate from somewhere else in short order to beat an invoice deadline. This deal dropped in everyone's lap out of the blue, I don't understand the urgency in light of the issues, which are kind of understandable, and are clearly being resolved, I've had 2 non urgent tickets replied to myself.
Let the blood pressure ease and wait till Monday,Tuesday or later in the week. As far as I can tell the likeliest cause of most issues are all the new tenants continuously running benchmarks, which is literally counterproductive and frankly meaningless under the circumstances. I'm doing my bit and idling mine now till next week even though it does seem to be working fine and far better than reports above might suggest,
Well I seem to be having an image of being "one of the complainers" towards a number of providers. At this moment I'm not about this one though.
Am on the infamous "node 6" and had a few issues (not working network, re-install issues, sluggish control panel, etc), but the IPv6 request was, although marked "low priority" quite fast, and when I got the VPS working (most likely because some issues were solved in the background) it performs OK. Networkwise could be better, but on the other hand seeing the number of people who are running (sometimes almost continous) yabs and knowing HS was a bit surprised by the influx of new customers (all wanting to install/test/re-install/etc), I think for a "day 3" situation it's not that bad.
The QEMU thingy and workaround (re-install and then re-install again) won't have helped either.
Why I don't complain at this moment? Because of what I said earlier in the thread: I usually take a week or so to see how a VPS performs, the network is, and then I'll see what the tasks are this VPS will have. And why I complain about others? Usually because they don't get better after the initial issues. So from my side, a bumpy start but no reason to be angry. Depends on how things will go in the near future.
I did 3 yabs yesterday (the first day) but from today I'll let the VM settle. I think this is the way to do it. A bit of curiosity, of course, to have an idea of what we've got and that's it.
I think @HostSailor did a great job with these deals. Great machines, ticket responded (high amount), the network stabilised, a new node (6).
@itsTomHarper my vps is down again. Cant access
Ok let me quickly hack into their infra and get your server back up. Brb
@Astro Give it 3 Min and you can get back in for 3 Min
New to VPS.
Can someone please let me know what would be the best settings on the control panel?
For eg. what should be the network driver? Someone mentioned that we should change it to virtio
Also I have this on my YABS result:
AES-NI : ❌ Disabled
VM-x/AMD-V : ❌ Disabled
I note that this is enabled for others.
Thanks
.
Much appreciated. I knew I could depend on my new friend on LET.
smaller plan yabs, i'm on the node6
network speed (and also having a full ipv4 addr) it's insane for just 5.7euro/y, here some speedtest:
Wrong thread
Who else lost millions so far?
Coping is a great mechanism for dealing with a missed deal.
VPS is a virtual machine running in physical computer(s). They use something called virtualisation to do that, basically slicing the resource into smaller instances to lease to customers.
In our case, KVM virtualisation is used. For KVM VMs, Virtio is best for optimal performance.
VM-x/AMD-V are Intel/AMD's hardware virtualisation technologies, respectively. It's better than software virtualisation (QEMU, VirtualBox for example). Software virtualisation is simulating the hardware, while VM-x/AMD-V allows the hypervisor directly work with hardware.
There are many advantages of VM-x/AMD-V in security, scalability, efficiency but I care about nested virtualisation. It's running a VM in this VM. VM-x/AMD-V doesn't inherently result in nested virtualisation but it's a must to achieve such.
AES-NI is something to do with acceleration of encrypting and decrypting using AES algorithm. It's crucial nowadays. Without this your performance is very poor and encryption/decryption takes longer.
As many pointed out, it's likely that the template used to set up the VPS is faulty, so both of the two features are affected. Some people confirmed that installing AlmaLinux solved the problem, so you can reinstall using that template then use your preferred template after that to have AES-NI and VM-x/AMD-V enabled.
i dont mind moving my machine to another node
it seems a 7th node ill become
Thank you for your detailed reply.
Changing it to Almalinux solved this issue.
I just installed another one. Yabs wasn't bad at all. Network ok. Vm is on node 6. Once things calmed down, I'm sure it'll get better. They cram maybe over 200 people on a node ( not an expert, hard to say for me if that's much ) so when people get noisy...
Unless your service is faulty, I wouldn't bother them and let the dust settle.
Awesome 😀👍 Node6
Just wanted to share this wonderful script which allows you to reinstall any operating system from an already installed OS be it Linux or Windows
https://github.com/bin456789/reinstall.git
It's in Chinese, google translate works perfectly. All the OS sources are fetched from their respective official mirrors or a well known mirror.
I just installed windows on my Commodore where there's an issue with the ISO mount.
Note that you can now change it back to whatever OS you prefer, and the improved CPU pass-through will persist. You do not have to keep using AlmaLinux for that.
SolusVM is responsive again and it indicates success for reconfiguring networking and rebooting, but it still shows as offline, and I'm unable to ping or connect. Can't connect via VNC or Rescue Mode, either.
Host should make transfers possible but for the original price of the package, without coupon code. On top of that 5 euros per transaction.
Yes, I have read every post in the thread.
Or "I opened a ticket 24 hours ago and still no reply". On a Saturday. On a $6/year vps.
Sure, some people complain over actual issues, and rightly so. These are not the ones I'm talking about.
If I offended anyone I apologize, but I was referring to the people being actual jerks. I'm pretty sure most people are self aware enough to know if it was directed towards them.
Then we can not have read the same posts, I just read trough the entire thread and there are people of all kinds, both reasonable but also totally entitled.
I agree things will certainly stabilize over time, right now they are most likely hammered with new customers that all run back-to-back yabs as soon as they are deployed, and opening tickets for all kinds of issues.
Then you are not one of the persons I'm referring to.
I agree. Not wholeheartedly perhaps, but I see your point and have no problem with it. But this is not the kind of behavior I was referring to, sorry if you took it personal.
If there is a technical issue I see no problem with people opening tickets. In fact, I would encourage them to. But expecting a swift reply and solution might be a bit much considering the service is almost free, so if people chose to go into full combat mode over $6/year that kind of tells me more about them than about the provider. I'm not judging but personally I'm just not that kind of person. To stick with the coffee analogy, if I paid $6 for a coffee and it was terrible, I would simply pour it out and not go there again. Here we are talking about a vps for $6 per year and people are throwing tantrums and talking chargebacks after just a few hours. That's entitlement in my book.
Your cpu cores are listed properly ? I got only 4vcores (with 4 sockets) in task manager and even yabs shows only 4 cores when I use this to get win 11 ltsc, even thought yabs shows 16 on ubuntu
Beware this script installs all linux images with a static root password in the default config
No. You're prompted for a password when you execute the script. If you leave it empty then that will be the default password
I haven't checked yet after the installation. Will update
My VPS has been down for the past 8 hours, making it completely unusable. Additionally, I noticed that the VPS goes offline whenever I attempt to boot from the CD drive.
