Justhost never deserve an host
emmm... how to say it？
I didn’t wish I can find any support at here, but I hope we can avoid buy its servics.
in a nutshell： they wanna use a vps with apt update needs 10 min+ to make unfair profit
detail：
I had hosting my services on justhost before 2022
but the recent changed makes it be an “crazy provider”
i got the steal time

sysstat
with their custom service：
“
You are not provided with full processor power, only virtualization. The allocated power may also depend on the overall load on the hypervisor, which is why I recommend that you choose a different location. This is a common situation.
Yours sincerely,
Your technical support
”
they must abuse the “vps”. If I cannot guarentee an cpu core, why dont I use shared hosting...
sorry for emotional comments.
but I rate it 0/5. for their customer service.
--edit--
also：
this case didn’t fixed in monthes.
17~ 30 steal time meant：
oversell && apt update needs 10 min+ && reboot needs 8 min+
Comments
what?
OP says the VPS sucks, the host says it's shared resources. I say it's very oversold.
apt-get unattended-upgradesand then you won't worry about how long it takes.I got 9-40% steal over months. I got less steal at morning till noon. Every night it's party steal
Why complain on English forum where nobody understands you?
@emgh what was your most recent apt-update record?
I'd say maybe around 2500 seconds, I tabbed out after awhile
What's that in minutes
hmmmm
It's like reminding a friend who doesn't know how bad it is.
--edit--
they still promote their vps recently
may confuse beginers
actually I mean waiting. it needs 8-10 minute to calcuate the package diff.
（downloading and dpkg not included）
chargeback yesterday.
never think about it . It must be bad expience.
@markp
Run YABS with GB6 and post the result here and on https://serververify.com/hosting-providers/justhost.
It will take at least an hour, but the result will be laughable.
where do you see "steal time" or how do you measure it? is it "st" in top? Just curious
Yes, it's st in top.
The following explains the top cmd:

You mean you didn't get 100% of CPU for 1 dollar? For real?
Steal time 50% mean you got 50% of 1 core, when your vm requested let's say 1000ms of cpu time vm got only 500ms. Very simplified. Some clouds offer like "10% vCPU" mean's that your ST might reach 90%.
If you really looking for 100% of CPU usage stick to dedicated vCPUs, that's where no place to oversell (there is tbh, if some of customers not running hot their CPUs 24/7)
That's not true. 10% of a vCPU with 90% steal time would be utterly unusable. When a provider advertises a fraction of a vCPU, they are giving you the burst limit. Take SiteHub for example, who has the strictest limits I know of (25%). For brief periods, you can use 100% of that processor and CPU steal never gets above 1%.
CPU steal only occurs when resources are oversold or badly balanced.
