I received this email at 3:26, my VPS was wiped out. They built new ones, and luckily I only had a hobby project static site sitting there.
This is pure speculation but I feel like BuildYourVPS is running too many VMs on their servers. SSH has always felt sluggish. This is one of the downsides to a cheap host.
I'd highly recommend prgmr.com (run by a fellow HNer), I've never had an issue with their VPSes at all.
- pestaa 15y agoFrom prgmr.com: ordering is disabled; I'm having some hardware issues I remember having seen this, and it was a long time ago.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI consider this to be a feature, rather than adding new customers that they can't support fully, they turn off registration. Others might just stick new customers on the old hardware.
- mootothemax 15y agoAnother vote for prgmr - an incredible level of service for the price. And very much agreed on the feature angle ;)
- pestaa 15y agoIt might be a relieving feature for the insiders, but it unfortunately renders your post to "I highly recommend these closed doors".
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI don't think the doors are closed permanently. I know you said you have seen the message before but I think you've just checked at inconvenient times. I added a new VPS just a month ago. If you need a VPS tomorrow then yeah I can feel your pain.
