I'm not going to lie to you. It's big.

It's real big.

But size isn't everything. Hell no. I've seen people do things with a 32MB VPS that would make your eyes water.

Sure, they knew their stuff and could work it like a master puppeteer and sure, some people would point and laugh but you know, ain't nobody got time for that. Bring out the big guns.

"Dave", I'd hear them say. "You gonna show us something impressive on that thing?"
"No", I'd say, loading up my bloated Ubuntu desktop. "I ain't got nuthin to prove to no-one"

"We don't sees it like that!", they'd reply, fingers resting lightly on their Lynx browser.

Then suddenly, we'd both ls -la our Apache processes. First one worker thread, then two more. Before you knew it SSH was away and SMTP was junking spam quicker than you could say me gusta!

I knew it wouldn't take long and soon, ol 32MB VPS was struggling. Response times shot up. HTTP requests slowed to a crawl. Loads hit all time highs. I had him where I wanted him.

I tapped on my desktop IRC client, "Do you even lift?"

I waited... but there was no reply.

    Torrenting isn't allowed on DireVPS (apologies for the confusion)

    It's OpenVZ - added to advert - thanks.

    Got flagged before I could even try to pay, the Motherland still thinks of us Aussies as convicts :(

  • OpenITC... I tried to get a 128mb machine once in the past and got flagged, and rejected before I even had access to the machine.

    Is this still a problem for USA residents?

  • BluBoyBluBoy Member

    Thanks Dave. Up and going, everything looks pretty good so far.
    Nice T&C's and a refreshing control panel... I think you're being ripped off with these deals!

    There can be a whole host of reasons why someone can be flagged.

    If someone ever is asked for validation, I'll occasionally allow verification through other means but this is done on a case by case basis and often it depends on the individual if that's an option.

    We get a lot of angry potential customers who feel we're too strict but our existing customers sure do appreciate it. It's a balance and often we'll err on the side of caution.

  • @Dave - just got flagged for a manual check, and wanted you to know that... I'm totally OK with that :) Thanks for the great offer!

    Your website says "CPU capped to 800MHz". You should write that on your offers here as well, because this is kinda big limitation.

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    How much allocated cpu for each plan?

    I dont think that he needs to do this. he already reffered people to the direvps.com website for more information in his original post.

    "More info available at http://www.direvps.com"

    this should be enough, if people are too lazy to confirm what they are buying then that is their problem.

    @Mark_R

    Well, but its a limitation and IMO they should write that. It might be legal, tbh I don't know anything bout that. But its just not that user friendly.

  • fitvpnfitvpn Member

    Damn.. prices for UK drops but still OVZ Become a hit number one on LEB :)

  • does anyone have a direvps? what is the i/o and uptime like?

  • "Based on your particulars, your order has been flagged for manual review by a member of staff."

  • CPU Speed Limited to 0.8Ghz

  • From the FAQ, personal vpn server is allowed, but do we have tun/tap/ppp enabled or we need to request it?

    We will be upping the limit sometime today for all new and existing customers.
