You're new here: some of us have BF offers stretching back several years and apart from the Ryzen Migration Fiasco Drama, then they have been very reliable services, IME. Just don't expect premium support when paying buttons and ensure that you have backups/contingency plans, for anything important to you. Consider what abuse use that you'll be using a VPS for and whether Virmach services are appropriate to your needs.

Yes, for about a week, I was getting banned when LOGGING OUT! Seems to have settled, though I do logout/login far less per day now. Where I needed to login and check something before the ban elapsed, I temporarily used a VPN (not for ordering).

@VirMach
Are ports 25,465 & 587 blocked by default, for these flash sales and could this have been retrospectively applied to some BF services, during the network (IP) changes? I'm not getting OS notifications from some VPSes due to this.
Open a Ticket specifically for these VMs, I presume? (Trying to keep your Tickle load down.)

I wouldn't say they are reliable. I mean they are cheap, offer a lot of resourced for a money, but far from reliable.
People who say that they are reliable have in their mind Virmach from ages ago. Nowaday they seems like a trainwreck from a company. There's always something broken, always something down, always something pending... and this state last for a year if not more.
Some people still hope from a host to return to a former glory, but it seems to me that with more promo sales instead of solving ongoing issues they just dig a deeper hole for themself.
Sometimes we read stuff like "out of ten vpses I have with them only two are down, they are okay". No, that's not okay. Fan base lost objectivity here. People's approach here is more a community/hobby thing than business. If you need them for anything semi-serious you will be pissed off sooner than later.
If your node goes poof ... and it will, it can take easily 2 - 7 days downtime which is somehow okay (like said "community thing", not business) when it come to this host. Sometimes I feel sorry for this guy. It seems to me like he took more on his plate than he can handle it, no matter how hard he try. And he's trying hard, he really does.
You will get a lot of resources for your money but if you expect reliable product which will just work or support which will respond to your ticket within 48 hours and solve issue within one week ...no, you may not get it here. I would give them 10/10 points for resources/price ratio and 3/10 points for reliability/price ratio.
This other green host with similar prices (when they have sale) is uncomparable better.
Currently I have active two VPSes with Virmach, one in Amsterdam and the other in Frankfurt. Those two locations are imho among more reliable, as there's less abusers, but also those nodes sometimes goes "poof".
You get a lot of resources for your money, but reliability is not one of those thing. Not even in a low-end term.
@emperor said: Problem for me is that i get logged out every x minutes..
Looks like you get a session timeout. On the only proper setup (Linux Mint/Firefox), I can leave a logged in session overnight (if I forget) and it's still logged in next day. Try a different browser?

Honestly it doesnt matter, provider can also choose to open a new thread anytime they would like to.
It is a community where we should help each other, including providers. As long as the provider doesnt get much unfair advantage (in this case, it is just creating a thread, not pinned or anything, plus old thread is closed), so I see this as fair.

Nooooo! Don't be totally silly now.
If you paid attention, you'd know that @FrankZ split the previous thread into this one.
To have 2022 and 2023 as separate threads, because it became too large.
That is for practical reasons and to benefit LES, not VirMach.
In fact, VirMach would probably if he had to choose, prefer to have it one large thread.
And to increase the 'record largest thread' record.
So you're wrong already with your initial assumption that it was to benefit VirMach, when reality is that it was to benefit LES - and probably the opposite of what VirMach would've preferred.
What your list of questions that follows concerns, I can tell you that the answer is ZERO - and that he receives nothing more than what he got as a regular customer, i.e. the same you could get.
So take a deep breath and please let go of any conspiracy theories, they're really unfounded and you have no need for concern.
And I can tell you he's a superb and super friendly and selflessly helpful guy.
Best wishes for 2023. :-)

Sure, I'm all about transparency and I have also added a couple things to your list.
Free or reduced VPS or others services
Before I became a Moderator I received a free for life 2GB VPS for making a guess about ticket numbers processed in October 2022, many other members here at LES received the same VPS for the same reason.
The guess is here: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/100593/#Comment_100593

@FrankZ
Please understand that not all of us feel the need to try and stir things up.
I can see you do GENUINELY try your hardest and DO always answer to the best of your knowledge honestly. I am sorry that you get this criticism as it is really not needed.
I can appreciate that some feel that they have been treated badly by Virmach and wish to publish their feelings. In the spirit of a forum that is their choice.
This is called the sales offer thread so as such it should be discussions about sales and offers. As has been suggested if someone wishes to state their feelings about something in this thread then by all means go ahead. If however the statement is just to bad mouth / disrupt / inform - then START ANOTHER THREAD if the comments are NOT related directly to this thread.
Let people make their own decisions and make it easy for people to find the positive / negative comments. Having something negative or positive in an 'epic' thread just means that it will be very diluted.
For clarity I am not associated with Virmach either - however like FrankZ, I also got a free for life 2G server. I also have 3 other servers which I find are working very well and were very good value.

Alright since I've been summoned by name and am finally caught up with my beauty rest, I'll weigh in a bit.
I personally feel criticism and negative opinions are perfectly fine to voice in offer threads as long as it's semi-relevant to what's going on in the thread (i.e. people asking if anyone is having issues/if they're reliable and someone chiming in with their negative experiences in that regard is appropriate). I think @VirMach himself has said in the past he is fine with criticism where criticism is due anyways. It becomes a problem when simple voicing of concern evolves into persistent agitation -- I'll admit where that line is drawn is subjective, but I think most people here can easily recognize it when it happens.
So with all that said, I don't see any big problems with @Mumbly's comments as they were sharing their personal experience and doesn't seem to be their mission to bash VirMach for the sake of bashing. @FrankZ's suggestion to open a review thread is valid if the negative experience needs to be talked about further. You've said your peace, so move on or open up your own thread and everyone will go on their merry way.
@jperkins I'm a bit miffed by your questioning of @FrankZ's integrity. I chose to elevate him to moderator as he showed time and time again that he's willing to go above and beyond to help members of the LES community solve their issues and get their concerns addressed without needing to wait for a reply from VirMach.
If anything, that you think any of the items you listed apply to FrankZ simply because he is helping out customers of VirMach says more about you than it does about Frank. Behind the scenes, FrankZ has also been going above and beyond with helping out with administration and janitor duties at LES with little to no direction. That's just the guy that he is -- always willing to help out and be a team player without needing any carrots or perks to motivate him. He's done a lot for this place just in the last couple months since becoming a mod and continues to impress me every day.
@FAT32@FrankZ@Mason I think no one wants to offend you or Virmach, just because the work order cannot be replied. This is the only place that may contact Virmach or see Virmach reply to solve the progress.
No one likes to wait, but compared with waiting, what makes people even more uncomfortable is that I do n’t know how long to wait, what happened, which causes always pending.
Waiting for a limited period, I believe it can be understood and accepted, although this is not written in the purchase instructions
The people who can speak in this thread are, most of them are people who like virmach, otherwise there is no need to waste time in this thread
What is praised is Virmach's price strategy and marketing activity, which makes many people's first VPS is Virmach
With Virmach, they learned more of the strength of Linux, and at the same time, they also have the expectations of paper configuration, so it may bring this contradiction
Amazing discounts, amazing configuration, often cannot bring amazing user experience, which is very harsh, so this may be a place where Virmach feels angry
I know that @FAT32 is a bridge connecting @VirMach and users. I hope to use this bridge to get the news of Virmach. First of all, just want to get be understanding of the bridge

Oi vey what a cluster. Listen I know I am the new guy and all but here is a bit of advice this is not WHT, the OGF, Digital Point or what ever this is LES. Now I don't get serious around here much but people need to chill.
The fact Frankz helps out as much as does is a good thing. The fact he hasn't banned half the forum and he has patience is a good thing. He asks questions and tries to do the best he is able. He doesn't let misunderstanding between words or people phase him. He is consistent no matter how his day is going. Those are best qualities you want for his position.
No Frankz does not work or shill for anyone. He just tries to help is all.
As for Virmach itself they have been through some shit over the last year. I imagine he is working hard to get things right but to also cater to the people's wishes. Moving a part of any business is not an easy thing to do but more so when you have to setup part of it from scratch. It takes time, money, and a whole bunch of other things. Throw in clients and his life must be hectic as hell.
Have some patience people especially with all the real world shit going down and things will be ok.
Just my two cents now you can go back to your regular schedule of whatever and I will go back to not being serious again.

So do I. I aspire only to be like you.
Can't beat the prices though. Strangely enough the only other vendor making me wait (3+ weeks) also has great pricing.
i was gonna say it doesn't cost much but damn thats like $60 there.

(And before you ask, same goes for me, I'm not being paid etc etc, obviously.)
I think @FrankZ should be in the @virmach support payroll as he has been cleaning / directing and does his best to normalize this thread.
So i suggest from now 01.01.2023 - 30.04.2023 he should be paid $75 / m as minimum thank you. He deserves more pussy but thats a good start.
Best we can do is pay in XPG NVMe SSDe broken drives.
One driver per 6 months.
Signed, VirMach.
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
bad apple.
Maybe i try a cheap Frankfurt VPS. But i approach the matter in such a way that i assume that there could be problems...
Sure, I'm all about transparency and I have also added a couple things to your list.
Before I became a Moderator I received a free for life 2GB VPS for making a guess about ticket numbers processed in October 2022, many other members here at LES received the same VPS for the same reason.
The guess is here: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/100593/#Comment_100593
Where VirMach publicly stated who was eligible to receive the VPS is here:

@FrankZ gets to see the login IP address of @VirMach account.
It's OVH Canada.

If you don't mind, what does this mean? Not familiar with this saying.
Yeah, didn't care for that either. What if I don't feel there was a reason in the first place? >:(
I do this for a reason - widen non-native English vocabulary - I usually check that it can be easily searched for.

@FrankZ
Please understand that not all of us feel the need to try and stir things up.
I can see you do GENUINELY try your hardest and DO always answer to the best of your knowledge honestly. I am sorry that you get this criticism as it is really not needed.
I can appreciate that some feel that they have been treated badly by Virmach and wish to publish their feelings. In the spirit of a forum that is their choice.
This is called the sales offer thread so as such it should be discussions about sales and offers. As has been suggested if someone wishes to state their feelings about something in this thread then by all means go ahead. If however the statement is just to bad mouth / disrupt / inform - then START ANOTHER THREAD if the comments are NOT related directly to this thread.
Let people make their own decisions and make it easy for people to find the positive / negative comments. Having something negative or positive in an 'epic' thread just means that it will be very diluted.
For clarity I am not associated with Virmach either - however like FrankZ, I also got a free for life 2G server. I also have 3 other servers which I find are working very well and were very good value.
Get your FREE VPS if you develop Open Source software
Tooo risky!

I need to declare this as a joke otherwise, maybe, this will trigger some people.
Anyway, I have 8 services with them, all of them are working as expected but nothing critical of course, just for hobby.

Alright since I've been summoned by name and am finally caught up with my beauty rest, I'll weigh in a bit.
I personally feel criticism and negative opinions are perfectly fine to voice in offer threads as long as it's semi-relevant to what's going on in the thread (i.e. people asking if anyone is having issues/if they're reliable and someone chiming in with their negative experiences in that regard is appropriate). I think @VirMach himself has said in the past he is fine with criticism where criticism is due anyways. It becomes a problem when simple voicing of concern evolves into persistent agitation -- I'll admit where that line is drawn is subjective, but I think most people here can easily recognize it when it happens.
So with all that said, I don't see any big problems with @Mumbly's comments as they were sharing their personal experience and doesn't seem to be their mission to bash VirMach for the sake of bashing. @FrankZ's suggestion to open a review thread is valid if the negative experience needs to be talked about further. You've said your peace, so move on or open up your own thread and everyone will go on their merry way.
@jperkins I'm a bit miffed by your questioning of @FrankZ's integrity. I chose to elevate him to moderator as he showed time and time again that he's willing to go above and beyond to help members of the LES community solve their issues and get their concerns addressed without needing to wait for a reply from VirMach.
If anything, that you think any of the items you listed apply to FrankZ simply because he is helping out customers of VirMach says more about you than it does about Frank. Behind the scenes, FrankZ has also been going above and beyond with helping out with administration and janitor duties at LES with little to no direction. That's just the guy that he is -- always willing to help out and be a team player without needing any carrots or perks to motivate him. He's done a lot for this place just in the last couple months since becoming a mod and continues to impress me every day.
Edit:
yabs daddy
@FAT32 @FrankZ @Mason I think no one wants to offend you or Virmach, just because the work order cannot be replied. This is the only place that may contact Virmach or see Virmach reply to solve the progress.
No one likes to wait, but compared with waiting, what makes people even more uncomfortable is that I do n’t know how long to wait, what happened, which causes always pending.
Waiting for a limited period, I believe it can be understood and accepted, although this is not written in the purchase instructions
The people who can speak in this thread are, most of them are people who like virmach, otherwise there is no need to waste time in this thread
I think FAT32 is just a member here...
What is praised is Virmach's price strategy and marketing activity, which makes many people's first VPS is Virmach
With Virmach, they learned more of the strength of Linux, and at the same time, they also have the expectations of paper configuration, so it may bring this contradiction
Amazing discounts, amazing configuration, often cannot bring amazing user experience, which is very harsh, so this may be a place where Virmach feels angry
I know that @FAT32 is a bridge connecting @VirMach and users. I hope to use this bridge to get the news of Virmach. First of all, just want to get be understanding of the bridge

New Virmach thread is very much incomplete due to the absence of Virmach

Oi vey what a cluster. Listen I know I am the new guy and all but here is a bit of advice this is not WHT, the OGF, Digital Point or what ever this is LES. Now I don't get serious around here much but people need to chill.
The fact Frankz helps out as much as does is a good thing. The fact he hasn't banned half the forum and he has patience is a good thing. He asks questions and tries to do the best he is able. He doesn't let misunderstanding between words or people phase him. He is consistent no matter how his day is going. Those are best qualities you want for his position.
No Frankz does not work or shill for anyone. He just tries to help is all.
As for Virmach itself they have been through some shit over the last year. I imagine he is working hard to get things right but to also cater to the people's wishes. Moving a part of any business is not an easy thing to do but more so when you have to setup part of it from scratch. It takes time, money, and a whole bunch of other things. Throw in clients and his life must be hectic as hell.
Have some patience people especially with all the real world shit going down and things will be ok.
Just my two cents now you can go back to your regular schedule of whatever and I will go back to not being serious again.
