  • Go to bed at 11:30pm
  • spend an hour thinking how I could rearrange my buyvm VPSes once I get a new 512/1024 OvZ
  • fall asleep
  • get text at 4am from at(1) job on one of my buyvm VPSes telling me it's time to buy more buyvm VPSes
  • stumble into bathroom and sit on john with iPad so I don't wake wife up
  • realize this is pretty similar to what I'd do if I was a secret heroin addict
  • only KVM is available
  • curse
  • flush
  • go back to bed and peek at phone periodically
  • get up at 4:15am when OvZ is available
  • WHMCS is down
  • curse
  • try again
  • lather rinse repeat
  • success!
  • forget Stallion panel password
  • download and install PasswordSafe app so I can look it up on my iPad from Dropbox without having to go downstairs
  • complete and pay
  • well, while I'm up, setup DNS entry for new host
  • and well, while I'm up, reinstall to the OS I want
  • and well, while I'm up, start an scp job to move some stuff over
  • and well, while I'm up...oh crap it's 5:30am
  • "are you feeling OK? you were in there a looooong time"
  • fall asleep thinking that another 128 could be mighty handy...

@Francisco, @Aldyric thanks for an entertaining addication. BTW, you should make cedr do all stock releases. He has the gift for being a buyvm stock release IRC MC.

Thanked by 2Amfy Francisco

    Because your questions are stupid, that's why. We talk a lot about BuyVM because they are great for the money, that's all.

    When I got my first BuyVM server people were still a little weary about them. No late night orders. I just walked in.

    WHY YOU SO MAD?

    My buyvm box was my first ever VPS.
    I knew practically nothing about them..
    Found out about buyvm on wht, had a look and flicked through the packages, wanting a 256/512 box..
    ended up finding the only one with stock was the 512/1024 ovz so I bought it.
    Was my first visit to a vps site, so bagging that box was probably pretty lucky.. I say it's fate, I've always liked ponies ;)

    I can recall that at WHT, some feedback as well that turned to be not true (usually the opposite happens especialy in this market:p)! their prices looked just like a scam in comparison to budget providers! I can only say that they are honest. <3

    @liamwithers you were lucky. My first vpses were VPSlink and ThrustVPS >:-(

  • My night without pony:

    Any KVM plans coming?

  • Actually stock is available right now. If you want one - go get it :)

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    It is but only those non-LEB.

  • When i wrote all OVZ plans were in stock. Now only OVZ-2048 is left.

  • Yep, noone bought the 2048's olololol.

  • LESLES Member

    They sell nearly at 1 vps (vserver per second)

  • Actually if you go to http://doesbuyvmhavestock.com you can see exactly when each one sold out - by looking at the "Last Update" column

  • I managed to get one of the OVZ 128's.

    Unfortunatelly, I was in a meeting. But one day will manage :)
