What's going on with networking in AMS?
I see response over 1s
What specific node? AMSD025?
Yep, AMSD025
Network issue already open for it and we're aware.
Nevermind, for some reason I thought I created it when I didn't. Sorry, I've been up for something over like 2 days now and starting to get a little loopy. I've been trying to work this into my schedule for around 12 hours now but it's being difficult. We may just have to reboot it if I don't get to it soon as that'll save a lot of time. Since the node has network issues to that level it also means I have network issues trying to do anything on it as well.
Edit -- created now.
For some reason now I see response under 10ms.
Thanks!

Don't thank me, thank the gods. I'm now a blasphemer. I'm assuming it'll go back up if the abuse continues but now I can actually get something done on it finally. Looks like I spoke too soon, it's back to being unusable.
why so many tickets? because your VPS has a problem and the resolution is slow and not even resolved. prioritize urgency? Previously I made a ticket asking for a refund, after 2 weeks you closed and I gave in to stay.
I thought changing BW was easier and many of you had the same problem as this, but to make it difficult for you, I'm wondering is this really difficult / can't / you don't want to do it?? look at my ticket, the number is clear in the screenshot, 2 times the previous ticket the virmach closed without clarity and there was no resolution for up to 1 month. I complained here, only now you are responding until the admin of this forum intervenes to reply to this comment. everything becomes a hassle because of your service.
@VirMach said:
Because our ticket volume is currently abruptly +8,000 closer to +10,000 more tickets than usual per month and as a result there are 1,000 tickets out of those additional amounts we've fallen behind on due to spacetime continuum constraints. Would you like me to provide an explanation for the other 999 tickets in queue right now?

God damn, problem is still here.
Got rid of the main abuser. It's the same guy that caused problems on pretty much all the other nodes in Dallas, Seattle, San Jose. I'm doing a full sweep now.
Alright, AMSD025 finally all set. This guy's been so annoying we have an entire project made to stomp him, it's just not done yet. I'll see if I can do something half as good more quickly today so he doesn't keep coming back and causing a meltdown to the point where it's that annoying and difficult to do anything about it.
@VirMach This rDNS button doesn't seem to work:
Tried it twice (May 4th and May 17) for an IP on SJCZ005 and while a ticket was automatically generated and closed each time, no change was made to the rDNS of the IP.

Yeah perhaps we should add something to make it more clear that it won't work for Ryzen for the time being.
I've added some additional monitors and also ensured monitors are enabled for all nodes (a few of the new ones set up last week slipped by.) I've tuned them a little as well so we get them more quickly.
I've gone through every node on ping.pe and ensured networks are free from major problems. SEAZ004 is still facing issues and that will be looked at next. Then TYOC029 looks less than optimal so that'll be after SEAZ004 abuse is dealt with first. Finally, TYOC030 looks slightly worse than most even though it looks relatively fine to how Tokyo has been and SJCZ005 could use a little improving.
Then I'm also looking at the anti-abuse script and making some minor adjustments. I'm trying to get it to make some additional measurements similar to the recent abuse to shut it down more quickly.
And no I haven't forgot about SJCZ002, but that'll get a separate "offline servers" update. And actually SEAZ004 looks more like an issue at the switch/network equipment level so I'm communicating with the datacenter and I won't include that here either. Actually SEAZ004 does also have abuse too so I'm including it in here again, not that it matters at this point.
SEAZ004 Update - Datacenter performed maintenance on their end, so I just finished getting rid of the abuse and restarted networking & re-applied rules. Still looks awful but at least it also looks slightly usable now. By slightly usable I mean bursts of 1ms ping rather than being constant triple digits.
Edit -- Okay looks like it's calming down now. I'll check back in 15-30 minutes.
Edit2 -- Still wasn't good, I rebooted since we had some physical changes and couldn't figure out what else to try resetting from the OS. Network looks clean again, for now. It's possible the NIC was spazzing out.
TYOC029 Update - This crashed again and caused the network improvements to reset. Settings restored and looks good now, investigating what's causing the hangs.
@VirMach said:

So is there no way to set this at all? Or do we manually submit a ticket?
I expect this is not going to be happening on Ryzen nodes soon™ . I don't think you should submit a ticket for a pointer record (reverse DNS entry) regarding this. Reverse DNS entries are something that needs to be scripted and is not the same for each DC. I expect the developer is crazy busy right now with other things. As VirMach has previously stated that this is on the to do list, but is not high priority, and is not going to happen until other things are settled. I'm waiting along with you for this to get done.
@vgood , these servers are a terrific value for personal and knockaround usage, but it will be a while (maybe forever) before they are really stable. With no dig intended at Virmach, if you are using them for "production", you are crazy. This is the lowest of the low end. If they are all your business can afford, you don't have a business. MY WEB SITE IS DOWN! I'M LOSING MILLLLLIONS!!!!
SJCZ005 Update - Can't improve the networking any further for now here. I'm unable to get the network driver settings to stick without it causing the NIC to hang. We'll have to schedule a maintenance window later on but I also don't want to destroy the NIC and I don't want to do nothing about it and fail it fail randomly in the future. After we're done... JFC... fixing the FOUR servers out of NINE that broke at this location, I'll see about sending in a replacement for this one and migrating people over to another first. Looks like I must have mistaken Tamagotchis strapped to an aluminum trash cans for servers and sent them all to San Jose.
I receive an email after running Ryzen Migrate, but I've never been able to login via SSH with the password. And I remember it was the same when I "migrated" from Tokyo to Tokyo a few weeks ago. Is this what you intended?
Of course, I know that resetting the password in some way would solve this problem(?).
your thinking is very reasonable. but the production in this case I use not for the website, but as a supporting VPS from the main VPS. it's been more than 2 months this VPS doesn't seem useless because of many problems. at least the specs that match the order will be of little use to support my production. It's natural when we buy something to want our rights. It's very simple, actually, what I want as a consumer, the specs match and the VPS runs smoothly, any problems are quickly handled. Moreover, I think it's easy to replace BW for @VirMach , no need to complicate it. That's our right as users.

@vgood I have an idea and I'd like to run it by you since I'm afraid it may offend some customers.
I agree with you that a huge part in being in this situation with the tickets is that "your VPS has a problem and the resolution is slow and not even resolved" and that the fact that we took longer than usual only made the situation worse. We've been playing catch-up for the past month and this just means a lot of people end up waiting a very long time.
Meanwhile, we've already resolved a lot of these problems without tickets, but now we have the problem of tickets existing for those issues.
For example, in relation to your bandwidth issue, we still have a lot of tickets with people saying they have the incorrect amount of bandwidth in many different ways in their title, and we do not know which ones still have the problem, as we corrected most of these, but obviously there will be people such as yourself who still have the issue. Instead of people posting here and reminding me of their ticket, I think it would be helpful if we could know who still requires assistance.
What do you think about everyone who has waited more than a few days for a reply, receiving a response asking them to confirm if they are still facing the issue? Do you think this would come off as rude as if we're just providing a bad reply and further delaying the resolution? If not, what do you think the best way to portray this message would be?
I really do believe once we get a confirmation of who still requires help, we can save about 70% of our time not going through those tickets where it's already been resolved.
To better assist customers, as we have a large backlog of tickets waiting a very long time, we are asking everyone to confirm if they are still facing an issue. Over the last two weeks we have already fixed many problems in the background. We understand that your issue may be completely unrelated, but we believe in this case, it will help filter out all tickets no longer requiring assistance so we can focus on resolving your issue more quickly.
Please copy/paste the following reply to confirm you require assistance, and your ticket will be marked as high priority:
> I still require assistance.
Otherwise, if you no longer require assistance, please do not reply back to this ticket to give us a chance to assist those who need an urgent resolution.
Then we can bulk send out that reply, and bulk flag everyone who replies to priority department. Or let me know if you guys disagree and think it's a terrible idea that'll just piss people off.

I think based on your product you might get the old email that just assumes an operating system is always installed. Or you might just literally get the same password as you did years ago or whatever it was initially set up.
Not intended, but also no intended solution to that right now.
Actually I have a better idea but I'll have to see if our developer can implement it by tomorrow morning. Until then I'll process these tickets as usual and try to make a good dent, and wait for everyone's feedback.
Grab a list of tickets and how long they've been waiting for a reply.
Find their highest cost active service.
Provide them credits for this amount for waiting (so if the service is $30 a month and they waited 12 days for a reply, $12.)
Provide a reply letting them know we credited them and to reply if they need help still
Auto flag to priority if they reply
If they don't reply, put it in a separate flag/queue automatically by default that we'll still skim through later
simple thing, why so difficult. you solved my problem all done. it's not difficult. does anyone else know which ticket comes first? Of course they don't know, only you and your employees know. In my opinion, when people submit tickets several times and even submit their complaints on your social media, on your website and even in certain forums, they really need it. and when you don't solve it properly it will make them more angry, remember this problem has 3 tickets in 1 month not resolved, and your previous 2 tickets closed and there is no clarity. you replied several times here you said it took a lot of time. but if you search for my ticket that has been posted here, then finish it, I think it will only take 1-2 minutes, and you don't need to announce it here if the problem is solved, other consumers know who comes first? certainly not. if you really coordinate it with your workers everything will be sorted out quickly, because in other VPS providers it is easy to change BW, I believe that @VirMach companies with many consumers like you will have more employees.

If you are only interested in your situation, then you should still let me know if you believe you'll get a faster solution if we do the above idea or if we do not. If we do, you have to reply back and it gets placed in priority with everyone else that still needs help. If we don't, then it'll be done as it's going to be done right now and that definitely still does not involve processing it for you first right now.
this idea looks good for @VirMach but funny for some consumers, it should be when the problem comes from you, you should be the one to compensate the consumer, not even charge the consumer just a ticket. remember "change bw is technically easy"
are you aware? you still have a lot of problems, your VPS is still a lot of problems, but you don't close the sale temporarily. The more you work, the more problems there are.

I'm not interested in this offer, it's a subtle way of squeezing, and I've never found it in any other service provider. Moreover, the trivial problem of changing BW can take up to 1 month to be unfinished. With this I can only conclude. you are just like a reseller / multi level marketing company and only a few workers in your company. sorry if my thinking is wrong. but the reality shows that. I asked for a refund but after 2 weeks your ticket was closed there was no progress. your BW request close 2 tickets before means you are trivial or just automatic by the machine @VirMach

Can you to add a message like "If you can't login with the password, try the Root/Admin Password change button before opening a ticket"?
I think you already received a ticket to ask the password...

Okay, thanks for your feedback. I asked you because I figured it would be a good representation of how others may feel. We'll stick do doing the tickets how we've been doing them then unless our developer can create the auto credit system because I don't think anyone will be upset about getting SLA credit for tickets being answered slower.
very funny. you think about other people but don't think about my disappointment as a consumer, there is no compensation, i'm even though always succumb to being patient. how do you feel human? 2 weeks my refund request ticket suddenly closes, next 2 tickets for your BW business problems are closed without clarity, the last 1 ticket has no movement. 2 months VPS can't be used for my production needs. 1 month for BW affairs is not resolved, even though it is an easy thing.
** edit
once in a while put yourself in a problem like me, I'm sure you'll also be more upset, easy things make you difficult

I think so too. but I'm not sure @VirMach will do that, let alone refund money, just changing BW is made difficult for them. as you can see in my previous comment, once I applied for a refund, waited 2 weeks for their ticket to close and there was no decision whatsoever.

The fact is you want to solve only your problem over all clients waiting patiently and keep spamming the forum with the same bs... You are a noisy neighbor and you would never be happy with any solution.

sorry I'm going to bring this up here, I don't mean to insult virmach, because until now I'm still a 3 VPS @VirMach user, but I'm still confused about my ryzen Order #1404808, from the first vps order and vps I used, the hostname (rDNS) was detected used by someone else. the proof is using IP Location Finder, detects Hostname: mxxxns-wxxxon.peaxxxxny.com
whereas the previous 2 vps that I bought from virmach rDNS detected IP.
Then I requested from the member menu and Ticket #654073 to request to change my new rDNS VPS to IP only but the ticket was closed by virmach, so far it's been 12 days and the rDNS hasn't changed. even though I think changing rDNS is a simple thing and doesn't take a long time. please follow up!!!
@vgood said: @VirMach
how is the latest update in Los Angeles? Approximately when will it be ready?
@vgood said: thank you finally @VirMach is back to write comments here.
Kindly please, my complaint seems easy to resolve, but till now almost a month, the problem is not followed up. Tickets #884164
@vgood said: Hahahaha....
I only have 3 in virmach, the others I have more at other service providers (gxxx, axx, rxxx, bxx)
Never experienced anything strange like this, before I requested according to hostnane and was not responded to, are you a virmach employee?
In my 2 vps, virmach ColorCrossing, once requested rDNS to my hostname and returned it to IP, there is no such slow process.
If you're speaking of rDNS on Ryzen, you can assume long waits and potentially for the request to not be filled for now. None of the systems are built for that yet. With CC, we coded it out using their API. We do not consider rDNS critical and those tickets will most likely not be answered until we clear out the entire ticket queue.
Some guy made like 11 tickets for the same rDNS and I'm going to make sure we answer his absolutely last.
vgood:
virmach:
And on that note... I'm going to take a mental health break.
Hey! Maybe he just have 20 services and he created new ticket for every service (okey, 11 out of 20) and this is why there is 11 tickets!!!!!
I guess not
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
thanks for your thoughts. then you will say @virmach is good??? look real on lowendtalk, lowendspirit all treads concerning virmach are full of problems and continue to know how long. they want to be understood and want to be paid for, service? they are just more busy making excuses than solving problems. they even turned to ask how to solve their problems. a lot of people protesting here? they themselves showed up here and they started with their problems they didn't know when it would be over.
It's up to me how @VirMach thinks about me. still won't affect my life or their service better.
I'm happy with Virmach. Their stuff basically works and is super cheap. With this new service they maybe got a little too ambitious and the bugs are not out of it yet, but they are putting in good effort to hold things together. That's the most I can expect with this ultra low end stuff. There are more expensive services around with a more consistent product. At the low end, you have to be more attuned and keep your expectations aligned with reality.

Speaking from personal experience as a customer, I've never had any major issues with VirMach. Have always been treated fairly and had solid service.
Customer since 2017 with 17 services in that time (5 currently active). Grand total of 13 tickets opened in those 5 years (3 of them not opened by me), so about 2 or 3 per year.
thanks for your thoughts about me. and anyone has the right to judge you by the reality of your service. remember, the member area @VirMach , solusvm in your vps often has problems until now, then you will say I'm spam? what's in it for me?
The main problem that I raise here is about BW, not another problem, I have given up on other problems, you yourself are busy looking for excuses. even though the process is only 1 minute the problem is solved.
You see, I also said the same thing for initial subscriptions with them. but the problem is peaking in this Ryzen and look at the fact until now all the complaints and all the problems piled up. they themselves do not know when it will all be over. Everyone's personal judgment may not be the same and cannot be imposed on others because of the fact that it can now be seen on this forum and lowendtalk.

Yeah that's called cascading failures. Lingering tech issues => high ticket load => slow ticket response => more whiny users and even more tickets, self-amplifying spiral. Users who have been around for a while have seen this before and look at it contextually. If it happens at AWS then criticism is justified. With a limited resource platform like this, yeah, most of us have been here. You might be better off moving your services to AWS. LES is not a place for high maintenance users.
I have a service running on another Virmach VM in the exact same location on older hardware, and it has been pretty reliable for the past few years. I had hoped to migrate it to this Ryzen VM to save some costs. The Ryzen stuff is not reliable enough yet, but if it stabilizes within a few months then I'm happy.
well I've been using AWS Gcloud Linode for a long time for primary purposes, and all know that quality, and for support VPS I use others including VirMach. @VirMach sells, I buy, and buyers should get what they promise to consumers. The problem here that I raised last was actually simple "change the BW to order". but what is their answer? you can see for yourself. easy things to complicate. am i rude asking for my rights? see other comments harsher and more cruel, but I don't want to intervene to defend or approve it, because each of them feel it. let alone have to lick, there's no way I can do it.

I echo what mason said above.
What I also know is that some people have the kind of me first attitude where everyone else does not matter, it's only about them. They can justify any action, desire, or comment by trying to diminish the party that they want something from. These are the kind of people that I call users and are the bane of any community, real or online. In a first for me, on any forum, I will openly question if this is the type of member you want here at LES. /rant
I was silent at first, but after 2 months of waiting finally I like the others were a little annoyed, because there was no clarity from them, easy things were made difficult. and I also never interfere in other people's problems. my problem with @VirMach well virmach and his employees solved it.

Shrug, in the low end world, if the seller does their best, that's about all we can hope for, even if they don't always succeed. There have been many deadpools here and there will be many more. Virmach is holding up ok as far as I can tell.
You are complaining that since your expectations don't match reality, it must be reality that is wrong. That sounds like a frustrating way to go through life. Reality is reality no matter what you expect it to be.

I thought changing BW was easier and many of you had the same problem as this, but to make it difficult for you, I'm wondering is this really difficult / can't / you don't want to do it?? look at my ticket, the number is clear in the screenshot, 2 times the previous ticket the virmach closed without clarity and there was no resolution for up to 1 month. I complained here, only now you are responding until the admin of this forum intervenes to reply to this comment. everything becomes a hassle because of your service.
Got rid of the main abuser. It's the same guy that caused problems on pretty much all the other nodes in Dallas, Seattle, San Jose. I'm doing a full sweep now.
Edit -- still needs a reset.
Alright, AMSD025 finally all set. This guy's been so annoying we have an entire project made to stomp him, it's just not done yet. I'll see if I can do something half as good more quickly today so he doesn't keep coming back and causing a meltdown to the point where it's that annoying and difficult to do anything about it.
@VirMach This rDNS button doesn't seem to work:
Tried it twice (May 4th and May 17) for an IP on SJCZ005 and while a ticket was automatically generated and closed each time, no change was made to the rDNS of the IP.
Yeah perhaps we should add something to make it more clear that it won't work for Ryzen for the time being.
Some Anti-Abuse Improvements.
I've added some additional monitors and also ensured monitors are enabled for all nodes (a few of the new ones set up last week slipped by.) I've tuned them a little as well so we get them more quickly.
I've gone through every node on ping.pe and ensured networks are free from major problems. SEAZ004 is still facing issues and that will be looked at next. Then TYOC029 looks less than optimal so that'll be after SEAZ004 abuse is dealt with first. Finally, TYOC030 looks slightly worse than most even though it looks relatively fine to how Tokyo has been and SJCZ005 could use a little improving.
Then I'm also looking at the anti-abuse script and making some minor adjustments. I'm trying to get it to make some additional measurements similar to the recent abuse to shut it down more quickly.
And no I haven't forgot about SJCZ002, but that'll get a separate "offline servers" update. And actually SEAZ004 looks more like an issue at the switch/network equipment level so I'm communicating with the datacenter and I won't include that here either. Actually SEAZ004 does also have abuse too so I'm including it in here again, not that it matters at this point.
SEAZ004 Update - Datacenter performed maintenance on their end, so I just finished getting rid of the abuse and restarted networking & re-applied rules. Still looks awful but at least it also looks slightly usable now. By slightly usable I mean bursts of 1ms ping rather than being constant triple digits.
Edit -- Okay looks like it's calming down now. I'll check back in 15-30 minutes.
Edit2 -- Still wasn't good, I rebooted since we had some physical changes and couldn't figure out what else to try resetting from the OS. Network looks clean again, for now. It's possible the NIC was spazzing out.
TYOC029 Update - This crashed again and caused the network improvements to reset. Settings restored and looks good now, investigating what's causing the hangs.
So is there no way to set this at all? Or do we manually submit a ticket?
I expect this is not going to be happening on Ryzen nodes soon™ . I don't think you should submit a ticket for a pointer record (reverse DNS entry) regarding this. Reverse DNS entries are something that needs to be scripted and is not the same for each DC. I expect the developer is crazy busy right now with other things. As VirMach has previously stated that this is on the to do list, but is not high priority, and is not going to happen until other things are settled. I'm waiting along with you for this to get done.
@vgood , these servers are a terrific value for personal and knockaround usage, but it will be a while (maybe forever) before they are really stable. With no dig intended at Virmach, if you are using them for "production", you are crazy. This is the lowest of the low end. If they are all your business can afford, you don't have a business. MY WEB SITE IS DOWN! I'M LOSING MILLLLLIONS!!!!
SJCZ005 Update - Can't improve the networking any further for now here. I'm unable to get the network driver settings to stick without it causing the NIC to hang. We'll have to schedule a maintenance window later on but I also don't want to destroy the NIC and I don't want to do nothing about it and fail it fail randomly in the future. After we're done... JFC... fixing the FOUR servers out of NINE that broke at this location, I'll see about sending in a replacement for this one and migrating people over to another first. Looks like I must have mistaken Tamagotchis strapped to an aluminum trash cans for servers and sent them all to San Jose.
I receive an email after running Ryzen Migrate, but I've never been able to login via SSH with the password. And I remember it was the same when I "migrated" from Tokyo to Tokyo a few weeks ago. Is this what you intended?
Of course, I know that resetting the password in some way would solve this problem(?).
your thinking is very reasonable. but the production in this case I use not for the website, but as a supporting VPS from the main VPS. it's been more than 2 months this VPS doesn't seem useless because of many problems. at least the specs that match the order will be of little use to support my production. It's natural when we buy something to want our rights. It's very simple, actually, what I want as a consumer, the specs match and the VPS runs smoothly, any problems are quickly handled. Moreover, I think it's easy to replace BW for @VirMach , no need to complicate it. That's our right as users.
@vgood I have an idea and I'd like to run it by you since I'm afraid it may offend some customers.
I agree with you that a huge part in being in this situation with the tickets is that "your VPS has a problem and the resolution is slow and not even resolved" and that the fact that we took longer than usual only made the situation worse. We've been playing catch-up for the past month and this just means a lot of people end up waiting a very long time.
Meanwhile, we've already resolved a lot of these problems without tickets, but now we have the problem of tickets existing for those issues.
For example, in relation to your bandwidth issue, we still have a lot of tickets with people saying they have the incorrect amount of bandwidth in many different ways in their title, and we do not know which ones still have the problem, as we corrected most of these, but obviously there will be people such as yourself who still have the issue. Instead of people posting here and reminding me of their ticket, I think it would be helpful if we could know who still requires assistance.
What do you think about everyone who has waited more than a few days for a reply, receiving a response asking them to confirm if they are still facing the issue? Do you think this would come off as rude as if we're just providing a bad reply and further delaying the resolution? If not, what do you think the best way to portray this message would be?
I really do believe once we get a confirmation of who still requires help, we can save about 70% of our time not going through those tickets where it's already been resolved.
Something like this:
Then we can bulk send out that reply, and bulk flag everyone who replies to priority department. Or let me know if you guys disagree and think it's a terrible idea that'll just piss people off.
I think based on your product you might get the old email that just assumes an operating system is always installed. Or you might just literally get the same password as you did years ago or whatever it was initially set up.
Not intended, but also no intended solution to that right now.
Actually I have a better idea but I'll have to see if our developer can implement it by tomorrow morning. Until then I'll process these tickets as usual and try to make a good dent, and wait for everyone's feedback.
simple thing, why so difficult. you solved my problem all done. it's not difficult. does anyone else know which ticket comes first? Of course they don't know, only you and your employees know. In my opinion, when people submit tickets several times and even submit their complaints on your social media, on your website and even in certain forums, they really need it. and when you don't solve it properly it will make them more angry, remember this problem has 3 tickets in 1 month not resolved, and your previous 2 tickets closed and there is no clarity. you replied several times here you said it took a lot of time. but if you search for my ticket that has been posted here, then finish it, I think it will only take 1-2 minutes, and you don't need to announce it here if the problem is solved, other consumers know who comes first? certainly not. if you really coordinate it with your workers everything will be sorted out quickly, because in other VPS providers it is easy to change BW, I believe that @VirMach companies with many consumers like you will have more employees.
If you are only interested in your situation, then you should still let me know if you believe you'll get a faster solution if we do the above idea or if we do not. If we do, you have to reply back and it gets placed in priority with everyone else that still needs help. If we don't, then it'll be done as it's going to be done right now and that definitely still does not involve processing it for you first right now.
this idea looks good for @VirMach but funny for some consumers, it should be when the problem comes from you, you should be the one to compensate the consumer, not even charge the consumer just a ticket. remember "change bw is technically easy"
are you aware? you still have a lot of problems, your VPS is still a lot of problems, but you don't close the sale temporarily. The more you work, the more problems there are.
I'm not interested in this offer, it's a subtle way of squeezing, and I've never found it in any other service provider. Moreover, the trivial problem of changing BW can take up to 1 month to be unfinished. With this I can only conclude. you are just like a reseller / multi level marketing company and only a few workers in your company. sorry if my thinking is wrong. but the reality shows that. I asked for a refund but after 2 weeks your ticket was closed there was no progress. your BW request close 2 tickets before means you are trivial or just automatic by the machine @VirMach
Can you to add a message like "If you can't login with the password, try the Root/Admin Password change button before opening a ticket"?
I think you already received a ticket to ask the password...
Actually out of all the crazy tickets we received I think that might be the one we didn't receive which is odd. I'll let you know if I come across one.
Okay, thanks for your feedback. I asked you because I figured it would be a good representation of how others may feel. We'll stick do doing the tickets how we've been doing them then unless our developer can create the auto credit system because I don't think anyone will be upset about getting SLA credit for tickets being answered slower.
very funny. you think about other people but don't think about my disappointment as a consumer, there is no compensation, i'm even though always succumb to being patient. how do you feel human? 2 weeks my refund request ticket suddenly closes, next 2 tickets for your BW business problems are closed without clarity, the last 1 ticket has no movement. 2 months VPS can't be used for my production needs. 1 month for BW affairs is not resolved, even though it is an easy thing.
** edit
once in a while put yourself in a problem like me, I'm sure you'll also be more upset, easy things make you difficult
Any chance @VirMach can refund @vgood ? ... I think is the best solution for this particular case
I think so too. but I'm not sure @VirMach will do that, let alone refund money, just changing BW is made difficult for them. as you can see in my previous comment, once I applied for a refund, waited 2 weeks for their ticket to close and there was no decision whatsoever.
Cannot migrate the vps of your Migration Special, while other plans are free to migrate to Ryzen nodes
Shame to your Migration Special and JP Pre-sale
The fact is you want to solve only your problem over all clients waiting patiently and keep spamming the forum with the same bs... You are a noisy neighbor and you would never be happy with any solution.
vgood = vbad
Have you tried turning it off and on again?virmach:
vgood:
virmach:

virmach:
And on that note... I'm going to take a mental health break.
Holy smokes...
At what point do you just refund and terminate? Ain't nobody got time for that.
yabs daddy
OMG!! Reverse Bingo LOOOL ... I pay internet for this! Thanks @VirMach xD
First thing in the thread is "no refunds" so I would just skip to the second part.
Hey! Maybe he just have 20 services and he created new ticket for every service (okey, 11 out of 20) and this is why there is 11 tickets!!!!!
I guess not
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
thanks for your thoughts. then you will say @virmach is good??? look real on lowendtalk, lowendspirit all treads concerning virmach are full of problems and continue to know how long. they want to be understood and want to be paid for, service? they are just more busy making excuses than solving problems. they even turned to ask how to solve their problems. a lot of people protesting here? they themselves showed up here and they started with their problems they didn't know when it would be over.
It's up to me how @VirMach thinks about me. still won't affect my life or their service better.
I'm happy with Virmach. Their stuff basically works and is super cheap. With this new service they maybe got a little too ambitious and the bugs are not out of it yet, but they are putting in good effort to hold things together. That's the most I can expect with this ultra low end stuff. There are more expensive services around with a more consistent product. At the low end, you have to be more attuned and keep your expectations aligned with reality.
Speaking from personal experience as a customer, I've never had any major issues with VirMach. Have always been treated fairly and had solid service.
Customer since 2017 with 17 services in that time (5 currently active). Grand total of 13 tickets opened in those 5 years (3 of them not opened by me), so about 2 or 3 per year.
So yeah, for me virmach is good
yabs daddy
thanks for your thoughts about me. and anyone has the right to judge you by the reality of your service. remember, the member area @VirMach , solusvm in your vps often has problems until now, then you will say I'm spam? what's in it for me?
The main problem that I raise here is about BW, not another problem, I have given up on other problems, you yourself are busy looking for excuses. even though the process is only 1 minute the problem is solved.
You see, I also said the same thing for initial subscriptions with them. but the problem is peaking in this Ryzen and look at the fact until now all the complaints and all the problems piled up. they themselves do not know when it will all be over. Everyone's personal judgment may not be the same and cannot be imposed on others because of the fact that it can now be seen on this forum and lowendtalk.
Yeah that's called cascading failures. Lingering tech issues => high ticket load => slow ticket response => more whiny users and even more tickets, self-amplifying spiral. Users who have been around for a while have seen this before and look at it contextually. If it happens at AWS then criticism is justified. With a limited resource platform like this, yeah, most of us have been here. You might be better off moving your services to AWS. LES is not a place for high maintenance users.
I have a service running on another Virmach VM in the exact same location on older hardware, and it has been pretty reliable for the past few years. I had hoped to migrate it to this Ryzen VM to save some costs. The Ryzen stuff is not reliable enough yet, but if it stabilizes within a few months then I'm happy.
well I've been using AWS Gcloud Linode for a long time for primary purposes, and all know that quality, and for support VPS I use others including VirMach. @VirMach sells, I buy, and buyers should get what they promise to consumers. The problem here that I raised last was actually simple "change the BW to order". but what is their answer? you can see for yourself. easy things to complicate. am i rude asking for my rights? see other comments harsher and more cruel, but I don't want to intervene to defend or approve it, because each of them feel it. let alone have to lick, there's no way I can do it.
I echo what mason said above.
What I also know is that some people have the kind of me first attitude where everyone else does not matter, it's only about them. They can justify any action, desire, or comment by trying to diminish the party that they want something from. These are the kind of people that I call users and are the bane of any community, real or online. In a first for me, on any forum, I will openly question if this is the type of member you want here at LES. /rant
I was silent at first, but after 2 months of waiting finally I like the others were a little annoyed, because there was no clarity from them, easy things were made difficult. and I also never interfere in other people's problems. my problem with @VirMach well virmach and his employees solved it.
Shrug, in the low end world, if the seller does their best, that's about all we can hope for, even if they don't always succeed. There have been many deadpools here and there will be many more. Virmach is holding up ok as far as I can tell.
You are complaining that since your expectations don't match reality, it must be reality that is wrong. That sounds like a frustrating way to go through life. Reality is reality no matter what you expect it to be.
