Hey,

I have since about 3 Months there a OVZ VPS, 128MB:



Since Months and Weeks just downtime:





The worst, it seems like the Support dosent even understand English:

Seems like some kind of Outsourced Support..... and everything what i get should be fixed an it repeats nearly every day. I just wanted to let you know.

    Hi,
    I have a small box with them, too.

    It seems like they're overselling the node. I can't use all of my allocated RAM for example.

    I have some downtimes now and then, but the box always got up after some hours.

  • Ah, I just remembered I have a server with these guys but apparently I never got the welcome e-mail or anything.

    It seems like they're hardly overselling the node. I can't use all of my allocated RAM for example

    Just FYI hardly means something different in this case it means they aren't overselling where it would seem they are overselling because you can use all your RAM I don't mean to sound rude by pointing this out to you.

    That reminds me I also have one with these guys, I should check it out to see how it's running...

  • I have yearly box with them, never seen downtime, only some packet loss from time to time..Will be bit straight if they not oversell for that prices and location :)

    So the VPS vent back after 2Hours and 49 Mins of downtime.

  • Unfortunate but I thought their prices were a bit too good in Romania.

    Time to switch shop?

    Multiple hours of downtime are the norm with them :)

    In exchange, they let you abuse their resources as much as you want. It doesn't seem like they got a clue about system administration haha.

    The upstream is nice, by the way. It's them who can't manage to keep their servers up.

  • I have romania vps from rack.sx, better with them instead

    For $12 a year for 128mb is good enough

  • As I wrote recently, I do not know how the servers work themselves, but support is a tragedy. Apart from the tickets, when they're sending an emails, they can't even use the footer in mails and all messages looks like some sent by elementary school student.

  • NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

    Addendum #1: The VPS is now running since 20 Days, maybe it was just a upstream problem after they told me they switched the upstream it seems like its fixed.

    But lets wait.

  • @Spirit @nekki .. can you do something about @janx

    Who? ;-)

  • NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

    @Nekki seems like it as been already deleted so.

  • @Nekki .. ahhh.. i see what you did there! :P

  • Yeah, i should have gone with rack.sx, this Phase7 guy seems to be clueless about most things. One day stuff is working, then the host node restart, stuff isn't working anymore.

    It's just 11$, but I'm not even sure it's worth the price.

    Nice, i have a "HDD" Speed from about 2,3MB/s and the Support posts this:


    Just to proof it:



    I am just speechless.

    Server must be very overloaded if you are getting that low of a kind of I/O speed. Their website doesn't seem finished too.

  • used their service for a about a month.... for an unmetered bandwidth price seems to be fine, but for everything else it is not fit.... lot's of downtimes due to packet loss, node offline or "node upgrade", support avg responce time vary from 12 to 48 hours...even if node is absolutely down.. control panel often shows "service unavailable" for all services in account during several days.... service is really poor

    Update, they told me:

    We try to test your limitations. The server have dual raid 10 SSD,
    for this reason appears more than 1 gb. Please stay tuned for VPS test results.

    They also moved from Core2Quad to E3 1230 @ 3,2GHZ.

    So i did again a Speedtest: 5,1MB/s, they told me:

    We try to be the best. This node is best effort, and for this reason the transfer rate was limited,
    not all the time. We try to add new ssd-pcie in this cluster.

    Support that cares.

    Dual RAID 10 SSD is contradictory. Dual drives indicates RAID 1. If they were originally hosting you on a C2Q, something is very wrong, and I'd suggest moving away. I had a similar thing happen when I tried DirectSpace; They used base-model i5s on VPS nodes. I cancelled immediately as I was unhappy with performance.

    No suprise there, I once had a VPS which got suspended (fair enough I think someone got in via SSH) but they didn't reply to the ticket, I cancelled obviously because it took over 25days to get a response? I still haven't got that response, sad times.

    man you are right , its our fault and we shouldnt trust to such provider .. cause they have no clue what they're doing ,

    i have openvz vps with rack.sx , and its disk i/o speed ...

    look at this man :

    http://www.stooorage.com/show/3312/12528064_rack-sx_ovz-vps_hdd_speed.jpg

    and as you had support ticket with them and they didnt resolve it i wont bother myself to contact them and send support ticket cause they dont care , they just care to open thread here and advertise vps but they dont care about i/o speed or downtime or other issues ..

    they sell vps with 3 ,4 MB/s hdd speed , un-fucking believable.

    just wase of time and money .

    @Infinity580 Quote from the support ticket: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda6"

    Bye bye sda6.

    I hope it is a testing partition on a testing VPS, oh wait it can't/shouldn't be a VPS on the same node because it's OpenVZ, i guess it's on the node itself, but if it is a testing partition i think the partition table shouldn't be tampered just for a speed test, there are a lot of things that could go wrong especially at that moment.

    Anyhow...

  • That's reasonably fast.
