"Snow", eh? What do you think the odds are it will last until next Summer ?
Also the correct question is not if they are "legit" but if they are "good". I would best against any new current LEB featured host being so.
You answered your own question.
Let us know once u got it
Checkout if they have money back policy and there tos , any just go with one month plan to test there services so if it's okay for you then continue there service otherwise move on to next provide and do share your experience here too
I signed up for their small (1GB) plan, paid the invoice immediately, but their website still indicated that the invoice has not been paid and it's been more than 36 hours. I created a ticket and gave them a screen shot of the Paypal transaction/receipt.
It's probably due to holiday weekend so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, the whole operation seems pretty barebone. We'll see. I just need a simple monitoring/personal VPN node in Chicago or Dallas.
I got a server created by could not boot (disk not bootable). Switch to rescue mode, still not boot. Asking for custom iso load but did not get any response yet. NOT a good way to start.
Their control panel is barebone WHMC with just boot/reboot/shutdown/rescue/vnc.
You don't need a disk to idle your snowman vps.
Thanks for the review.
@jbuggie you are very patient. The above sales pitch contradicts what you say has been your experience
I'm interested in this as well somewhat
best way is to check their previous offers and read comments below, you will get your answer.
Finally got in using system-rescuecd-iso. Here is some juicy benchmark
