123systems and unprofessional behivior
Yesterday I found a cheapest VPS link from LowEndBox Website. I only like to use this small VPS for PPTP VPN, but After more then 12 hours, I don't get welcome email from their website and In after login to 123systems billing panel, I can see still my VPS is pending.

How long has it been since you've submitted that ticket?
12 hours?! :O
If this counts as your worst, you've not been around here much have you?
I submitted ticket before 4 hours, but In their cart I can see about "Instant Setup!" but they are fake.
In their defence, if you used special character root password or a hostname less than 4 char, solus is known to fail when it creates your vps. Or they might have run of out of IP. You will get your VPS anyway. So much drama for a $5/yr VPS
Welcome to LET
Unfortunate.
Yeh I always used special character for my password to secure my service, and I never had problem with my passwords. I used lots of VPS service like buyvm, bluevm, iniz, directspace.net.......and I never faced any problem with password.
And yes, much drama for a $5/yr VPS. Coz money is money and we can't waste it for nothing.
Wait for a while. Have patience. This is the price you pay for not researching before buying.
Yeh, Now I have to wait.....
Thanks for $5 :-D
What... 123systems offers cPanel for $150
must be yearly !!!
Oh yeah, forgot about that. All of the prices shocked me for a second hehe
Not sure if you need advice. But usually, don't immediately sign up when you see good offer. look around a bit, a little extra money is better than having stress.
Yeh, Best Price.......for a small VPS :-)
How abt http://xvmlabs.com/ then?
Heheeee...... see their TOC!! They do No guarantees of any kind, Limited support via forum (for outages only), Service is experimental – expect some downtime.
Is that true (solusVM failing if you use a hostname with <4 chars)?
I was talking about the VPS addons such as extra IPv4, cPanel license, etc. Their VPS prices are average.
I agree, But for testing purpose $5 is nothing. And no-one offers such as 350Gb bandwidth with cheapest $5 VPS.
a few providers have claimed so. But when i did a quick search i could just find the Jonny boy from the green wall blaming it on WHMCS (http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/456843/#Comment_456843). So believe it with a pinch of salt...
I got Reply from 123systems,
It'd be great if you can post a benchmark once you get a chance to log into your VPS.
Yeh Sure, But It still showing Pending!!!
I ordered one the other day with a 3 letter hostname (even though the site said 4-20 or something). When it finally got set up the next day, it had been changed from xxx to xxx.com
makes sense/
my friend's iso request ticket already 1 month, the isos still not added, they have been always keeping delayed with various excuse...
I was told (from another provider) that the instant VPS creation (with SolusVM) may fail if you don't use a FQDN as hostname. They added a ".com" to mine and created the VPS then.
Yes, there was such a bug in SolusVM, it was sensitive to what was written in the hostname field. Some people would put an email address instead of a hostname there, and solusvm would fail in a terrible and stupid way.
Also, you have to pud FQDN hostname, otherwise it would fail, in case it's something short.
They're rubbish.
