Anyone tried them? They seem very cheap and also popular in the recent LEB post

    Since my way of defining words is really trashy, I'll use Google's..

    Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

    Basically trying to be something that you're not, trying to act big when in reality you're not that big etc.

  • AndriAndri Member

    They're cheap. If you have more $ maybe you should try.

  • @Jack so.... basically.... Stay away?

    I was looking at one too :P

  • flyfly Member

    don't buy into it.

    Xen or KVM? If you read LEB comments it seems most have praise for Xen and no praise for KVM

    They do not have the cleanest past.

    That was posted by another host however, all of it is backed up by screenshots of Avante's posts.

    @Jack said: Its been up and down since I got it , IO was about 40 MB/s so he moved me to a new node which then made the vm kernel panic and he blamed me...

    However it works now after 4 days of packet loss and downtime.

    He blamed you for causing kernel panic after he migrated the VPS? O.o

  • @Jack said: Avantehosting has their own AS and equipment.

    I find that really hard to believe after reading http://avantehostinglies.com/

  • Interesting.

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    i'll stay away for now. there are lots of reliable host here with good prices also

    Jack

    For your server I actually further looked into it by starting the VM on the old node as-well and it seemed to kernel panic too.
    As said to everyone we know the i/o was not great on KVM-1 so we decided to move everyone to KVM-3.

    I didn't see any packetloss and downtime however.

    avantehostinglies.com was put up by another host, as we took many sales from them.
    The owner of that had a Minecraft sever from us for quite a while, I asked him politely to take it down in which he did.

    Phil funny how you would post that link.
    As Ben/Bradley set that blog up.

  • ChrisKChrisK Member

    This was about a year ago as-well, and of course I've learned a lot in a year.
    This was also during the dark days.
    We were quite small back then.

    did you move everyone on KVM-1 to -3 ?
    How come I'm still on Kvm-1 ?

  • ChrisKChrisK Member

    We're doing a slow move, you will be moved over don't worry.

  • Umm you might want to fix your client area too Chris.

  • Been tempted to purchase from them given the fact that they are in Florida, but not to sure after some of the reviews and everything...

  • Bad reviews on MinecraftForums. Wouldn't trust them that much.

  • zonzon Member

    Last week i signed up with avante hosting $6 offer.. Today morning i was really shocked to see a wordpress page in chinese when i opened my site... ssh and virtualmin were not working.. so i thought it was hacked... then i logged into the console and stopped apache.. still same.. finally i found out that it is going to another ip from the same vps.. instead of x.x.x.2 files were being served from x.x.x.3.. and no n/w connectivity from my console.. i dont know whats happening... raised a support ticket... no reply yet... anyway i moved my sites to another vps (using backup file) and changed the dns....
