Problem with Crissic [RESOLVED]
Hi.
I bought a $13/year 512mb ram LA VPS from Crissic yesterday.
I spent almost a whole day trying to get VNC to work.
As you can see here. http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1003584
I bought the VPS solely because I needed an LA IP as I have been living there for the past few months for my job, and I will be traveling to different cities almost every week.
I browse a lot of forums and when you are constantly logging in from different cities they ban you or put your account as under investigation.
I bought the VPS on the premise that I would have a 100% LA ip meaning most geo location sites will show the IP as LA.
Anyways after spending a lot of hours getting VNC to work I log into one of the forums and my account gets temporarily banned for logging in from a jacksonville florida IP.
I opened a ticket with Crissic asking why my IP shows Jacksonville Flordia when the LA test IP they put on https://crissic.net/los-angeles_vps_pre-launch shows LA

Here is a screen shot of the ticket.

They refuse to change the IP to one that actually says LA.
I understand that if I do a trace route it will show it being routed to LA, but that does not help my situation.
So now this VPS is useless to me, and it's $13 down the drain as I can not use it for what I need to use it for.
I doubt anyone would be willing to buy the VPS from me and have it transferred to their account now.
I have been a loyal crissic customer for over 2 years now and have given them hundreds of dollars they wont do a simple thing like change my ip.

Also, are there any providers that can provide a VPS with an LA IP that actually shows its from LA on geolocation sites for $13/year for similar if not better specs.
Comments
Maybe they don't have any actual LA IPs left..
i have one vps in LA node
one ip geolocated to florida, one ip geolocated to LA hahaha
Making sure one's IPs show correct location in all geolocation databases is a real pain in the arse I must say. Only Maxmind is doing a decent job at updating their records. All others are either completely ignoring correction requests or it takes months to update. The good news is that eventually (in a few months) things will get corrected everywhere. The response you have received in the ticket is valid, you just need to wait.
I would like to reinforce this response. The host is not responsible for third party databases which update at an interval not within their control.
Accepting any free VPS #cough
I'll give ya $10 for it
EDIT: nm, glad you got your problem solved
I will give you $11 for it .
Hi guys.
They replied to the ticket randomly and resolved my issue.
Mod can close this thread. Thanks
@xaitmi that's weird..cause week before i had same problem with you in LA, different is when i browsing over vnc it always show google hongkong..
I open ticket and staff offer me to change ip or move to different node..
Same story with my boltvm (ex crissic IP), show google hongkong..
Yeah I noticed that hongkong thing as well. It is very strange.
Hi, I can provide you something, if still needed.
The GeoIP resolve to California. You can try it yourself with the IPv4 into the Looking Glass: http://dns-lax.gdbi.info
Regards, David.
Gave you an IP from his personal VPS to resolve an issue that really isn't their problem. That's pretty classy.
+1 for Crissic
Wow,their service is really good.
Props to crissic
//EDIT: As much as I hate their mail restrictions
Look, how much dedicated they are for their clients. Even the staff gave you his Own Personal VPS IP for you. Professionalism +1 for Crissic.
Can you elaborate a little bit of your sarcastic sentence ?
This is honestly starting to get bad. Bitch on LET and get special treatment shouldn't be a thing.
It's how the smart provider avoids threads like this either starting or spiralling out of control. Why deal with the lowendmob when you don't have to.
So you couldn't even wait a day for your ticket to be resolved and had to complain here? You're the kind of customer everyone wants for $13/year.
