Green Value Host Review - 3 Weeks

sometimes i can wait for development env. to become ready but never for production.
Yeah I wouldn't use GVH for production at the moment. I'm using them for a small site and my own prototypes, but if it gets a lot of traffic and issues aren't resolved I'll change. Hoping they can fix stuff though, because some of their other VPS configurations look promising for some larger projects I have in mind.
If only you could get cheap hosting in Australia
There are a few ones around that aren't bad, but I tend to get US ones anyway because I know that most people that will be interacting with it are from the US. I'd only get Australian hosting if I wanted to do backups or something like that.
The only real downside is that using SSH is so slow. You can't do any intense editing with vim because it's not responsive enough, but typing in commands is okay.
What kind of delays are you getting for your host?, i've used Canadian VPS servers and as long as your in SSH the delay is there but not enough so that it'll bother you
Are you from Aus? There's no getting around the delays. Light simply can't travel fast enough from one side of the world to the other :P
Singapore/SEA servers are bearable though.
Yep, using ssh with 260ms ping Doesnt seem very noticeable though(PuTTY)
Here's an idea, you and me start a Australian hosting company, you pay for the Servers and i'll.... um... use them? :P
It's one thing to fail to provide the service you promise to; It's another thing to blatantly lie to customers. The reasons why Jon and associates continue to intentionally bring grief upon many people are beyond me.
There are real providers, and real people, that actually care about their service and business. These other companies deserve your business much, much more. They may also provide a more reliable service.
Edit: Oh, and you've all been trolled by the "international relations manager" title.
Nope, I just said he's more professional than Jon...
Nothing unusual, there are random downtimes at GVH all the time and they remove cpu cores from your vps over time allthough I didn't achieve a cpu load over 0.2 yet.
Also:

@edwardF If you requested this build on sign up (Debian 7 32bit Minimal) or rebuilt it with that image, it won't work. It doesn't connect to the network for some reason.
@GVH_Alex can you confirm whether this has been fixed yet? If not it should be removed from the reinstall build list.
I read this on the toilet and laughed so hard all my poop came out instantly.
You laughed very, very, very hard.
Dis comment tho'... made me laugh so hard.
Not bad though, @GreenValueHost, you are improving. Good to see (inb4bash).
LOL - wow if only they put as much time into supporting their customers as they do with coming up with these stupid titles they "might" actually be good.
But I guess when you're 16 it's about the
benjaminstitles baby!!and if i mention my ticket, where in my vps was offline for arround 4 days, twice, will i get some credit on that?
Hi @agentmishra
Sorry to hear about this, could you please PM me your ticket number so I can personally investigate this for you?
Regards,
The VPS went down again for 17 minutes.
20:31:20 up 16 days, 11:17, 0 users, load average: 10.39, 10.17, 9.26
= node statistics.
Just because the physical host was running, dosent mean that the network was online.
Update
GVH have given me credit and I have now started another server with the same specifications on their Dallas, Texas node. I will update my main post when I've collected up-time stats for a new site (I have another domain that I am testing on this VPS). So far the response times seem more consistent.
Here are the initial test speeds:
impressive io
Erm. Sweet uplink.
Yeah it's not looking too great.
We have too many incidents of CPU and IO abuse. We're considering the possibility of reintroducing unsuspecting fees because abusers just don't "get it".
What do "unsuspecting" fees mean?
And also, what is abuse? Aren't their resources capped at what they're allowed to have?
Now introducing unsuspecting fees! Fees that nobody suspected!
That is the greatest new thing right after the spanish inquisition!
6 hours later:
It's an SSD btw.
edit: SSD Accelerated.
Sorry, UNSUSPENSION fees us what I meant. And no @edwardF it's not an SSD.
Woops my mistake, you're right. SSD Accelerated.
