[Request] Virmach Review

I was wondering what everyone's experiences with Virmach have been? Can anyone offer any insight into how well functioning the service is?

    I am using one of their 128 mb yearly plans and I must say uptime is pretty good. Never really got many downtimes as I could recall.

    19:26:21 up 59 days, 11:48, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

    does that 128mb plan include any Swap?

    Also, can you post a UnixBench or a normal freevps.us test, simply like this:

    wget --no-check-certificate freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null | bash

    Those are really good speeds taking into account it's CC Buffalo. If you notice the post above yours, the download speeds for Buffalo are much slower (as they are in a big percent of servers in that DC).

    Yeah I noticed. I needed a box in this location specifically else I would have avoided Buffalo. But like you said, pretty decent for colocrossing and as long as virmach keeps up the good service & support I'm happy.

  • @harrysdt you're a spammer, so null-routed.

  • PieHasBeenEatenPieHasBeenEaten Member, Host Rep

    This guy and email forwarding Nodewatch got him again!

  • I got a 512MB from them mid-year. Uptime generally in weeks before I reboot (usually after updates). I'm only running a private proxy and quite-minor stuff with LXDE though, so am not really stressing it. I was impressed enough to get another VPS from them, a 2GB one, when it went on offer. So far, so good.

  • @tenpera said:
    harrysdt you're a spammer, so null-routed.

    As I say I forward to myself, not forwarding to others.
    And I found out that it is pingdom setting up too many connections. After disabling it there's very few traffic. I don't know why you sue me as spammer? Can you realized that I am also a victim!

    Please is Virmach still good to get a VPS from them? Which city you advice?
