What is the moral of this story? :) If support is not responsive, the `deal` is most surely a fraud. It is a litmus test for new hosts.

Thanks!

Well, it looks like the thoughts above regarding profitability might have come home to roost. RackVM have disappeared, taking their customer sites and data with them (including mine).

A little birdy tells me that one of their providers has “switched off their equipment” but was unwilling to comment further.

Ben, are you out there?

Just like to post an update. My VPS with RackVM is running beautifully. For ~US$10/year, I’m very happy!

@Erawan Google Checkout is slow? Well do you mean the 15min wait interval AFTER you process your order through Google Checkout? I also found this annoying but according to Google Checkout Team, its a grace period for the buyer to still cancel the order IF he wants to.

@Pascal
Thanks for that, I think they really should set up SSL (EVEN SELF CA) for the c/p. It’s easy & cheap (EVEN FREE), so I don’t see why they just didn’t.

I’m happy to see this provider to stand / grow as long as possible and provide great service while they also make money from it ;)

@scyllar, no they still didn’t.

@Sorin, Glad to see they fixed it quickly, good support.

BTW, anyone can tell me if they’ve set up SSL for control panel yet? Thanks.

@Pascal: Had same problems on node UK02. I have submitted a support ticket, and my problem was solved by moving me on another node. Thanks Ben :)

@David
Thank you for the information. But currently I don’t have a moneybooker account, as for Google Checkout, it works slowly with my Credit Card. Just in case I can not make a payment, then my VPS subscription with RackVM will be ended. :(
Well, maybe I have to create a Google Checkout Account now.

@Pascal, my RackVM vps is working fine, but it’s on UK00 according to the control panel.

@Erawan, I received an email from them on Aug. 5, 2010 that said they were having problems with PayPal, and that while they were working on it, they were asking clients to move to Google Checkout or MoneyBookers. I’m using MoneyBookers already and paid annually.

Im in due of invoice payment, but I can not make any payment using Paypal.
There is a message that the recipient email ( RackVM ) is not available.
Does someone have this issue to?

@Pascal, too bad to hear that, though I have already cancelled my a/c within the first few days. Hope you will get back your VPS asap.

Things are going pretty bad now. My VPS has been unreachable most of the time of yesterday and today. Today I can ssh into the VPS but any command just times out. SolusVM also reports the VPS as being shutdown, but I cannot boot it. I submitted a support ticket yesterday, but still no response.

Anyone else experiencing this problems? I’m on the UK02 node.

Hey David,
Can you give me OpenVPV installation tutorial :D

Ben from RackVM also worked with me until everything was right. Very professional and polite. I’m pleased with my vps there.
