I'm confused to a great degree about the standards of "remove", simply because @virmach did what @c1v did at a larger scale (unstable service, change of IP, etc) and much more people complaining about @virmach, but its provider tag is intact.

Once again this decision was reached by the entire staff. I was not staff at that time. I have no clue what went on behind the scenes then.
Damned near everything I have done since I became a mod has been questioned either in a thread or in a PM. I don't do anything without asking and getting others feedback.
I do not have ability to please everyone and can only do what I believe to be right at the time. I am only human and sure I do make mistakes but, shit guys if everything I do is a mistake then what am I doing here?

What sets c1v apart is that it's clear fraud. He decided not to automatically reassign IPv4 addresses, betting that customers won’t speak up, so they can re-rent them out. That’s a bit different from virmach.
Still for the sake of others, I think it’s best not to support such practices here
@AuroraZero Sorry for your negative feelings I may have caused, but I had no intention of challenging you. On the contrary, I really liked your activeness during last Black Friday and appreciate your great efforts. I just thought that remove was a great pity.
@bliss said: @AuroraZero Sorry for your negative feelings I may have caused, but I had no intention of challenging you. On the contrary, I really liked your activeness during last Black Friday and appreciate your great efforts. I just thought that remove was a great pity.
The host's policy/behaviour is a great pity - and removing the tag was the right call.
I got VPS migrated from ColoCrossing by @VirMach in 2022 and of course the IP was changed hence that VPS needed manual re-configuration /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network . Put another way, @VirMach 's "auto-assigned new ipv4" didn't work until my intervention via VNC. After the migration, there were minor problems, though the overall experience was acceptable.
So my point is if C1V doesn't respond to tickets from "helpless" customers then it is no doubt C1V's fault. Since I don't have the experience of IP changing by C1V, I'm not sure, thus confused. (By helpless, I mean customers should be knowledgeable enough to fix their own VPS, unless it is only possible to fix with the help from the provider.) But I did open tickets several times to C1V, they were polite, respondent and effective.

The offer says you get an IP address.
You pay the money.
And then you don't get an IP address until you ask nicely.
Not a malfunction, but a policy.
That's misleading (i.e. fraud) - and removing the provider tag until that is fixed was the right call IMO.
If you have any problems with VirMach, please open a ticket, or discuss it in a relevant thread.
Likewise, if you've had good experience with c1v, feel free to write a review (if you haven't already).

Also Virmach is/was in a real datacenter (datacenters), not in a garage. I've had both, Virmach and C1V. To be honest, I was pretty happy with the Virmach VPS, not much downtime, performed well. In the end I only let it go because it didn't have IPv6. And yes, I had the IP change with Virmach, but it was pretty smooth. With C1V, a grace period of a couple of weeks was promised, but you had to take actions by submitting tickets etc. Already early in the grace period of C1V the VPS became unreachable, basically useless.
Okay guys I may have been a bit irritable when I wrote this and did not intend to take it on @bliss. I just wanted everyone to know that this was a staff consesus and not something I did on my own. This issue has been talked about many times over and ths incident was the final straw.
The right way to appeal something is NOT to PM me and try to make your case as I am only one member of staff. There are procedures n place to handle these and PMing me with a wall of non-sensible text is not the way to do it. I try to keep my personal feelings on the sidelines and not let my business decisions get involved.
I apoloze to @bliss as again it was not intention to lay anything on them.

speaking of service not being delivered, my VPN account with service id 2489 in this very review thread still not usable. glad i remembered to check it, just now i put a cancellation on it so i didn't lose $1 chicken.
Thanks for the jannies making the decision to take out c1vhosting provider tag. will be looking forward for next BF sales without this provider being involved.
Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit.
Pulling the provider tag for @c1vhosting just before Black Friday must be disappointing for them. (look I used a non definitive pronoun).
I like my $7.75 Euro per year 4 GB test box with next to no steal. Yes it goes down for a hour here, or a couple of hours there, but I received all my IPs.

Now without the help of noVNC too...

Tagging @Mason and @AuroraZero to remove the provider tag of @c1vhosting . I've got multiple emails of "we're upgrading our UPS stuff, expect downtime", and now an email of "we lost part of our config due to a power outage".
This is a joke. This provider should not be allowed to sell on here.
I now have to manually reinstall my vps due to a power outage (whilst they got UPSses apparently), while they cant even restore the old configuration for the VPS.
This provider is too problematic to host with, even given the price. Please /dev/null them.
Edit: seems like they are already not a provider anymore. Please add this to the pile of "why that was a good idea".

Absolutely. It fits in the picture C1V is painting for himself. C1V has a problem, but the customer can try to re-install his system because of that.
As I stated some time ago, Luca is a scam, a fraud and shouldn't have a provider tag anywhere.
@liuhui said:
For a while today, c1vhosting's official website was inaccessible, along with the VPS you purchased from them. This suggests that c1v is truly providing their services on a 'best effort' basis, offering a service level at least comparable to that of their own website
"We have renewed our energy infrastructure to achieve greater redundancy (2N): almost all servers are now connected to two distinct energy sources and UPS. This improvement promises significantly better reliability than before.", post by c1vhosting on another forum.
Again!? How much power sources do these servers have now? Tier 11 ?
He might be right about energy and maintenance. The servers are extremely slow due to how overcrowded they are. In order to achieve profits on such very low prices, and within European Union, and at a time of recession when cost of living is going through the roof, the only solution is to oversell like crazy. This is precisely what he does: he oversells KVM to oblivion of kernels.
If one server goes down for maintenance, upon a simple reboot of a host all the VPS servers will try to reboot, creating a huge load and having a very slow reboot and likely many failures. It is like a cascade chain of events caused by overcrowding. To this add that some panicked customers will try to reinstall the server, creating even more load, while others do torrenting and seeding (even more load at boot time).
In short: it is a mess. I am not trying to excuse C1V in any way, shape, or form. I simply believe he does make profits from all this, so it makes sense to invest money in their registered business. After all: good publicity or bad publicity is still publicity. I hope for better services over time as business grows, but time will tell if it will implode or evolve.
I don't think he needs to make a profit. To me it looks like his hosting 'company' is just a hobby project.
You could be right. To me though it seems more than just a hobby. He went through the trouble of creating a company, buying hardware, setting up an actual datacenter, ASN, legal terms, and more. It all seems too much for just a hobby of grabbing some servers and renting overcrowded VPS in spare time. There is an actual business behind it all, so there's got to be profits too for declarations to Italy's fiscal system.
Yes, well, that—or money laundering. There, I said it.
@bliss said:
I'm sorry for your awful uptime. I think less than 95% is almost unusable.
As for the "lies", yes, you are right as downtime still happens from time to time after so many "upgrades" or "redundancy". One may wonder what the differences are before and after all these improvements.
Anyway, I fail to grab any offers better than c1v's. There were many amazing offers during Black Friday which went out of stock in literally seconds while other poor providers terminated service in advance then disappeared. Yeah I know I can't expect too much for less than 10 dollars (one exception is web-horizon which is very stable and affordable).
I hope C1V continues its business.
Anyone using a C1V VPS and is satisfied with it must have absolutely no requirements for availability, reliability, or performance. I genuinely cannot believe that anyone is running anything of real importance on C1V.
If all you care about are specs on paper, then maybe C1V could be a fit, but even then, most of the specs are exaggerated or outright lies. Luca himself has stated that none of the resources are guaranteed—not RAM, CPU, disk, or bandwidth. And with today’s actions, it’s clear he wasn’t kidding. After taking my IP, he has now also taken the resources I supposedly had. It's absolutely bonkers that this kid has been able to operate like this for so long, but I'm glad the mods finally removed his provider tag.
I consider myself a patient person, but Luca managed to drive me nuts. Even if you try to follow his rules, he still changes them while you're in the middle of playing his game. For example, when I tried to cancel my VPS, I carefully read the Terms of Service (ToS) to ensure I did it correctly. It literally states, "If no cancellation has been made with at least 30 (thirty) days’ notice before the contract expiry by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, certified e-mail, or a request sent through the customer area in the ‘Ticket’ section..." (ToS Chapter 5). Nowhere does it say cancellation in the client area alone is sufficient. So I followed the ToS exactly, because, well—it's Luca we’re dealing with. Yet he outright refused to acknowledge my cancellation and responded evasively. You’re not his customer; you’re his toy.
If you check my profile on OGF, you'll see I've been in the LE* world for almost 13 years now. C1V/Luca takes the crown for the worst hosting provider by a massive margin in every aspect. And no, his age isn’t an excuse for everything.

A cancellation in their client area is not actually a cancellation? It will still generate invoice and renew?
Thanks for your kind hope. Mine is not affected as of now, while the uptime is still acceptable (> 97%), yet I'm not sure what will happen in the future.
This may be the first time I've seen such accident that the specs of customers' shrank after outage. Maybe it could alleviate people's dissatisfaction by upgrading the specs. Or C1V should extend those affected VPS by 2 or 3 months as somewhat compensation.

LOL... compensation. Promised (in public) after the christmas drama last year, never got it. Don't count on it.
But I'm not pretending that I want the compensation; my year of frustration is almost over and I have no intention to extend it in any way. After the IPv4 fun ("ask for a IP change, 2 weeks grace period", immediately followed by terrible connectivity (more off as on) and before the "grace period" was over dropping the original IP without contacting with a new one (i.e. effectively making the VPS not really usable anymore for lots of functions), the low availability in general (around 90%) it's been enough.
This incident (don't know if I'm affected, most likely not) is just another thing on the long list of inabilities of C1V. In my book, even if you have an issue that can't be resolved, you should do everything you can to have the customer have as little pain as possible.
What personally one of my main issues with C1V is, is that somewhere in the first half of this year he started to have the comment "not for production" and those kind of stuff - but also applying to customers (like me) who applied when that comment wasn't made, only things like "Tier 3 datacenter" (=garage), "Premium" and all that bla bla. That's why in my opinion he's a fraud, and he's lucky that Italian police have bigger priorities.
Comments
I have shared multiple offers that are, in my opinion, much than better than c1v.
Hopefully you won’t claim anymore that competing offers are not shared with you.
I'm going to give up on the VPSs I have, the experience is just too poor.
Windows 11 running on 10/year @Chunkserve VPS. Search by provider name on OGF for that promo offer.
Why would you
Why would anybody care
This is a thread for c1v discussion not for your deranged "running windows in a cheap vm"
Thanks for the recommendation!
@c1vhosting has had the provder tag removed pending him giving people what they paid for without having to jump through hoops. In other words people get the IPs they paid for without asking for them.

(ToS Chapter 5). Nowhere does it say cancellation in the client area alone is sufficient. So I followed the ToS exactly, because, well—it's Luca we’re dealing with. Yet he outright refused to acknowledge my cancellation and responded evasively. You’re not his customer; you’re his toy.
If you check my profile on OGF, you'll see I've been in the LE* world for almost 13 years now. C1V/Luca takes the crown for the worst hosting provider by a massive margin in every aspect. And no, his age isn’t an excuse for everything.

A cancellation in their client area is not actually a cancellation? It will still generate invoice and renew?

the problem is @c1vhosting
kids like Luca should be marked as total fraud
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Haven't touched their VPS since the IPv4 changes lmao. I thought they would change automatically but it seems that's not the norm for c1vhosting.
My crappy1vps aka c1v was changed to 1 vCore / 1 GB. The reinstallation fixed that, but lost current data.
Hopefully @bliss vps experience was much better than mine.
first they scam IPv4, now scamming CPUs and Rams
LOL

Thanks for your kind hope. Mine is not affected as of now, while the uptime is still acceptable (> 97%), yet I'm not sure what will happen in the future.
This may be the first time I've seen such accident that the specs of customers' shrank after outage. Maybe it could alleviate people's dissatisfaction by upgrading the specs. Or C1V should extend those affected VPS by 2 or 3 months as somewhat compensation.
MicroLXC is lovable.
LOL... compensation. Promised (in public) after the christmas drama last year, never got it. Don't count on it.
But I'm not pretending that I want the compensation; my year of frustration is almost over and I have no intention to extend it in any way. After the IPv4 fun ("ask for a IP change, 2 weeks grace period", immediately followed by terrible connectivity (more off as on) and before the "grace period" was over dropping the original IP without contacting with a new one (i.e. effectively making the VPS not really usable anymore for lots of functions), the low availability in general (around 90%) it's been enough.
This incident (don't know if I'm affected, most likely not) is just another thing on the long list of inabilities of C1V. In my book, even if you have an issue that can't be resolved, you should do everything you can to have the customer have as little pain as possible.
What personally one of my main issues with C1V is, is that somewhere in the first half of this year he started to have the comment "not for production" and those kind of stuff - but also applying to customers (like me) who applied when that comment wasn't made, only things like "Tier 3 datacenter" (=garage), "Premium" and all that bla bla. That's why in my opinion he's a fraud, and he's lucky that Italian police have bigger priorities.
