Very quick setup, fast VPS, fast network. But why do i only get 1.8GB of RAM when they are selling 2GB ?

Hey there.
This is typical with KVM virtualization to have some RAM reserved by the system. http://i.imgur.com/oWOO5Pg.png shows that we are provisioning with a full 2GB RAM, just your OS is likely reserving 200mb for the kernel etc.
Are there any other options available? e.g. 4GB (or more)? 200GB or more HD or SSD?
Thanks!
p.s. Could you order 2 or 3 and combine them into 1?
Hey CR,
We offer up to 16GB RAM and 8 vCPUs, however, they are not able to fit in our Lowendbox promotional post. Please see https://www.ionswitch.com/vps.html for more info. We can accommodate custom plans as well. Please submit a ticket at https://clients.ionswitch.com/submitticket.php and let us know what you need, and we can hook you up!
So, why exactly are you sending sensitive information, including my password for both the service and the VPS itself, in the clear? This is not only unprofessional, it’s insecure. This service is worthless for anyone.
This issue has been resolved to my personal satisfaction. An update from IonSwitch should be forthcoming. I’m pretty proud of IonSwitch for taking ownership of their mistake and correcting it. Thanks Nick Bogle – IonSwitch for being upfront about it.
do you support windows ?
