    If you would like to request a customized IP change, please open a ticket within 5 days at the following link:

    @c1vhosting What is a customized IP change? Is that just a pre-arranged date or something else?

    You will have a grace period of 10-14 days to adapt to this change

    Does that mean BOTH old and new IP's will be active for that grace period? If there's no overlap, how is it a grace period?

    BTW there were no message ID or date headers in the message, a few will probably not receive or see it.

    It's part of the C1V experience. Just like the "I didn't receive any e-mail" response when you remind this guy of things (tickets/complaints) you've mailed him.

    Curious 'bout the new IP range though. How bad the reputation is, and if it isn't, how fast the reputation will become bad.

    Anyway:

    "Hello,

    We are currently experiencing a partial network issue due to a RETN (AS9002) outage in Rome, which has been ongoing for the past 7 hours.

    After the initial downtime, we activated our backup circuit, which is still resulting in higher latencies and a complete loss of IPv6 connectivity.

    We will keep you updated and notify you as soon as RETN restores their service."

    Well... considering the chip implant in brain by Elon Musk, and the modifications of genomes to preserve DNA pool for infinite life after World War 3, this might be doable. It is hard to decide at this stage to cancel the €1/year VPN plan or not.

    EDIT: on a serious note I tested from a VPS in Germany. It seems it reaches approximately 400mbps. I think I shall keep it.

    Not entirely offline, but completely unusable (i.e. going on- and offline) since yesterday evening. Also very strange things are happening during SSH key exchange. Just avoiding the VPS as the plague right now - but I've should have done that already with everything that has just a bit of a link with C1V...

    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.

    Also do you have any graphs? Kinda interested what changed around 9th of October - because my "workload" (mostly idling) didn't change, but CPU jumped (LOL) and network, ohhhhhhh boi.

    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.

    Maybe we have the same issue; did you try your password through the NoVNC console? Mine works through NoVNC, however, it doesn't work remotely through SSH (but logging in through SSH and password is on). Also my keypair login through SSH doesn't work anymore - this is ever since the latest "I'm responding/I'm not responding" issues began a couple of days ago.

    I'm not going to put any effort in it. Every minute that a C1V VPS is working as it should is completely non-intentional. Also every part of the service/website that actually works is a bug that will be fixed in the near future.

    I think it is same issue too. My other VPSes on C1V also don't work ssh. The server fingerprints are changed and I can't login with pubkey auth.

    Oh come on. The uptime of my c1v VPS is more than 97% which is not too bad.

    Over the (almost) 11 months I have this VPS, I have an uptime below 90%. 88.1% to be precise (*). And yes, there are days, sometimes even a week, without an issue.

    Even if it had a bit less dramatic uptime, this guy is clearly putting on lies about his "datacenter" (garage), misleading people that it is a "Tier 3 datacenter", clearly avoiding questions about it, announcing "power redundancy" for i-don't-know-how-many-times, and lowering expectations for his "services", but in the meanwhile he sold exactly the same services without these "performance warnings" before, i.e. lured in customers with false promises. Don't forget the "just wait a bit, we are improving this and that" ways of trying to keep customers shut. He is a fraud in my book. He got the benefit of the doubt here on this forum, but playtime is over, and he didn't improve. For just a little bit more much better performance and uptimes can be found around here.

    I don't mind people wanting "lower than low" service, but this guy is just living in his own fantasy world where he is a "big datacenter guy". No he isn't. He is a kid who has a few servers in a garage with a bit of cooling and a few off-the-shelve UPS systems. Nothing wrong with that, if only he'd admit it and would have been open about it.

    (*) Small remark: Currently I cannot login to my VPS, it is running, but basically usage is impossible. That together with an uptime of 44% in the last 24 hours.

  • @Calypso said:

    It is impossible to admit something like that. Unlike other Romanian providers from their basement, this provider (C1V) does not allow DMCA content. He does not have the advantage of online piracy from Italy. So he has to oversell like crazy to make some profits.

    I don't mind people wanting "lower than low" service,

    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.

    Well, I've got similar offers in my farm as C1V, and I know that you "can't have all" for such low prices. The main issue is: what exactly do you have with C1V? Uptime - No. Performance - No. Service - No. Favorable provider - No. Low price - Yes. You need at least two in my opinion to have a sustainable provider, more with increasing price.

    That e-mail that was sent 11 days ago that says you will change my IP in 30 days?
    That e-mail that was sent 11 days ago that says you "grace period of 10-14 days to adapt to this change."
    That e-mail that was sent 11 days ago and IP is not working after 8 days?

    Why would panel also only list my current, broken IP and not the new one if you think this is "likely related to the IP replacement"?
    Why would the guy above me have the same issues with the same network range?

    Did you started IP replacement silently 22 days before deadline? :-D


    "We are not experiencing any issues at the moment" - guess which one of those is C1V ASN... :D

    , so this is likely related to the IP replacement matter (email sent several days ago about this).

    I can only support the comments of Jab of having issues for a week or so now, so if you've started messing around with the IPs, you've not kept to your own schedule. But that doesn't surprise me. Also by saying "no issues" and then "related to IP change" means that there could be issues related to actions done by you. No surprise though.

    And putting in tickets? Have done that in the past and never received a response...

    Why would it not be if provider gave back/sold/his lease ended that network range, but didn't bother to give us new IP - I guess if you don't ticket you won't get a new IP and he won't fix WHMCS. Why would you run a sql query to find services are affected - let the user PM - maybe most of them won't and I can sell more servers than I have IPs?
