VPSSlim black Friday instances - anyone else having issues?

During the Black Friday specials I snagged a few VPSes to use for an upcoming project.

The VPSSlim offering seemed to good to pass up - I'm sure many people jumped onto the deals and they're a little swamped with requests & support.

It took a while for my KVM instances to come up, but they seem to be having a lot of disk trouble. They fixed it once (not sure how) but now it's back again. I also rented an OpenVZ instance, which is still not up.

I opened a ticket for both the OpenVZ and the KVM instance issues, and they responded and resolved the KVM problems quickly. However, they just seem to come back after a while (virtio disk errors), and they haven't provided any meaningful response to my OpenVZ instance being down.

Now, I know these instances are barely profitable for them, and support costs money. I don't expect top tier response times for such a cheap service. But I'm also not interested in paying for a service I'm not getting or can't use.

Is anyone else seeing similar issues? Am I just unlucky and support a little overwhelmed, and will my issues be resolved? Or is this the level of reliability I can expect for this price?

    I shoot it in the face and I finished it 2 hours after I got it.
    Not worth the trouble.

    A bit? Boy this is a record for the lowest GB5 score I've seen in my entire life... It's probably so slow it could be retro already

    They mentioned there is something wrong with the images they provided, but have not heard if they implemented the fix.

    Score 30 in GB5 can be converted around score 110-140 in GB4.. It is only a tenth of cociu single core VPS performance.. lol

    The poorest yabs result I've ever seen here on LET.

    Even cociu's single core CPU with score 300 in GB5 considered as "weak" CPU. I am missing new term for this.

  • Yes, i am also having the same issue. @VPSSlim ; i have not received response to a couple of support ticket.

    1. Can any provider match this score?

    The new nodes (the one they set up during the BF shitstorm) seem to be oversold to hell and back, I have one from the BF thread which was supposed to be 4 cores but was provisioned as 1 core (ticket is still pending with no reply); even then the core performance is still doodoo. I'll probably be not renewing this one.

    I also have one I got from the thread they started (2vCPU, 4GB) that is running fine; I managed to be one of the few early ones so I believe this was provisioned on one of the earlier nodes. Performance (CPU, IO) is good to okay-ish, can't really complain given the price.

  • I guess I am lucky. I have a 1GB KVM instance and it's working fine. I didn't even bother with their templates and installed my own OS. 50GB SSD was too good to pass on at this price.

    My only complaints are:

    • No IPv6 yet (they said they are working on it, they are overwhelmed with tickets)
    • NoVNC console doesn't work half of the time. It really doesn't matter unless you want to install your own OS.

    If someone needs some help/guidance to install with custom ISO send me a PM.

  • "This VPS is suspended. You cannot perform any operations for the VPS !" that´s what i get now...looks like they are way oversold. it took 3 days to get my vps, i got 4 new vps with new ip because the vps corrupted... never had such a bad hoster

    Happened with mine while re-installing the initial OS after it got provisioned with an older version. Instead of ticketing in for a fix, I made the sensible choice of cancelling it for a refund instead. Can't say I am missing out on anything except the double digit GB5 scores :lol:
