Is there any reason that no free DirectAdmin is offered within the UK location?
Because the DC provides the License not EaseVPS.
Yep, What Jack said the datacenter issues the licenses.
Had a few problems with SYN Floods to the Billing Area but this has been resolved, I’ll put up the permanent filtering when I am home.
Jacob I never got why you use Jacob Dominic when your last name is Robinson?
Full name is Jacob Dominic Robinson, I prefer Dominic. And it still is referring to you as your legal name.

Why is your company listed as Mr Luke Anthony Robinson?
Just to clarify again, To be a shareholder in a registered company you have to be 16 or over. Arin Ghosh is shareholder, and the other name is self explanatory.
Keep the curious questions coming…
So your brother is a share holder?
Yes, That is correct.
Anything else you would like to know about my life?
Indeed, there’s a need to know as I might choose you as a business partner. So where does the initial fund come from. And where’s the financial background for the liabilities? I guess you brother has no problems to be held liable (piercing corporate veil) as he is a share holder and has installed a underaged director.
You cannot please unreasonable people
I would agree with what you have said Tom, If we was within the same market as say Linode, Or VPS.net.
But the reality is Low End Providers, Want customers that have prior or atleast some form of basic knowledge with Linux and the enviroment they are working around.
Most people here are either a one man team or a few people, Nothing more.
Just to give you some confidence (I hope) if you choose us, We own our hardware in the UK, Provide fast and quick support, Any issues you have you can always speak to me and I will resolve them.
I like Ease! If they’ve got their invoicing issues sorted out, then I can recommend them 100%!
Had that sorted ages ago! It was due to the local mailserver just being blocked by just about all known email providers.
We now use a paid emailing service for guarenteed email delivery and everyone recieves the mail intended for them.
Just to let all know, Our Previous offer of $4.00 for the Starter Plan is still available using the code “February”.
See here: http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/easevps-3-99month-512mb-openvz-vps-in-manchester-jacksonville-kansas-city/
Jacob, I am very interested in this 512mb offer. But when I follow the “direct signup” link in the post you linked to, it only says 500GB bandwidth, not 1500GB.
Do you know what the issue is?
Thanks
We altered the bandwidth on all plans as we was unable to offer that much bandwidth in the UK.
OK, so the bandwidth is lowered on all plans (i.e., including the US ones as well)?
Yes, That is correct. If you submit a ticket we can double the Bandwidth if it is a US VPS.
Is the free DirectAdmin license offered on this $4.00 Starter Plan deal if one picks the Kansas City DC?
That’s not a problem, Just submit a ticket once ordered and I will give you the license ID.
This deal is apparently no longer available..
# The promotion code entered does not exist #
No Paypal?
2checkout processes paypal for them :)
Nope, they do not. Only VISA or Master for UK, ZA and no PPal for US$
Mod, Remove prev post, found the PPal for US$ option, no PPal for ZAR
yes, they accept Paypal, I just paid thru paypal. look closely.
I have one of these and they’re definitely worth it. Great speed and customer support was awesome when I mistakenly had my VPS set up in Manchester instead of Kansas City. They got it squared away and fixed within no-time. Definitely recommend!
I appreciate the comments Don, Always good to see satisfied customers. :-)
Did you get SSL working for the control panel and WHMCS client area, yet?
Without SSL, I’m a bit worried since those areas can do things like reset your whole VPS.
SSL is on SolusVM, But self signed, Use the SSL Port.
I have not set it up on WHMCS, I will let you know when it is setup, I will be doing that now as it slipped my mind. I remember you did mention it before.
Nice. The performance of my VPS is definitely better than my 123Systems one and I’ll move webserver over.
Can you publish your self signed certificate fingerprint here so that it is harder for some one to forge a self signed certificate pretending to be you?
That would be great! Please give us a shout when it’s working, I opened a ticked this morning and the VPN root password is a mandatory field (it shouldn’t IMO, what if I don’t use a password and have keys?) and I wouldn’t want it to travel without SSL.
Anyone knowing how to pass the fraud check, their PIN transmission to Germany didn’t work for me?
Your order was held up but we sorted this(I think), Just drop me a message on LET if you need anything else.
How long does it take to get one ticket answered?
Does it usually take more than 24 hours to get one ticket answered?
It depends, I answer tickets when I check my phone or when I am at my desk, Responses are usually <2 Hours, We have been recieving alot of tickets lately(due to new orders) so I normally go through some in the morning at about 8AM and then later on at 2:30 or whenever I can answer them.
Depends, in my case Dominic was quite responsive but some answers also took a day. After some initial hickups my machine is up an running like hell. WordPress is running very smoothly, ssh tunnels go up to 10Mbit/s and that’s what counts, if everything is set properly.
I don’t know why but openvpn gives me only 1-2 Mbit/s, same with pptpd. But this is a general problem I have, not only with this machine. I thought my 32MBit/s cable connection would help me squeeze out more…
The late responses are due to only me working here now, I did have sumesh work on support a couple month back but he went on to do bigger, and better things.
VPS are limited a 100Mbit, Kansas VPS should be able to utilize out 100Mbit without any problems, UK VPS can max out about 80Mbit due to the node being on 100Mbit port.
Considering that, you did a great job, thanks again!
My bandwidth problems are really mine, I’ve experienced that elsewhere too. I’ve tried tweaking but nothing helped so far. According to Google it’s not the only me complaining about openvpn performance. I’m wondering if anyone has an OpenVPN link providing more than ~6MBit/s?
Is Free DirectAdmin come with monthly purchase? Also I myself install DA or you will provide template?
Yep, It comes free on any VPS Plan in Kansas City. We are a unmanaged provider so all Installions/Configurations would have to be done by your self. :-)
installing DA is simple as yum install, go to DA site and learn.
Fuck, I thought they had instant setup, now I have to wait to start my project. :(
Your order was held for manual provisioning, Had no IPs in the UK, I just processed it then.
Kansas still has quite alot of space, Seems everyone prefers the UK. :-)
Europe over all seems to sell much better than the US.
Many good providers in US likely , :)
Looks like were going to see a UK3 at this rate :P
Yep, Soon, I have enough HDs and RAM to last me for another 4 Builds and spares.
do not buy easevps, or you will get stupid vps, get stupid customer service
You can’t post that without a reason..
@ztec: Cannot confirm that one…
Wtf who posted this under my name? This is NOT me.
Haters, Gonna’ hate..
Problem now, what happen?
Me: hello, how long the vps will be accepted?
Jacob D: VPS Setup is Instant upon payment.
Me: yesterday, I bought a vps uk
until now, that’s still pending

I am going through about 20 Pending orders now, I had ordered another server yesterday from Pinnacle, Hoping that TNT would deliver it today as I have all the other parts ready but it is at the Depo, The driver was supposed to leave it with a neighbour.
It appears to me that the Kansas location is simply them reselling Virpus.
Anyone else, please confirm?
Virpus uses their own IP space so unless it actually says virpus/etc on the RDNS, they’re using their own dedi’s :)
Francisco
Ah, alright. Thanks :)
We for sure do not resell. :-)

You should be sorted now, I have just gone through all the orders and all tickets answered.
I didn’t find UK data center in location selection, will you provide UK based vps again?
They are our of stock on there Manchester location, Jacob said he hopes to have another node out in a few weeks.
Order and Submit a ticket for UK Stock, It’s the sacraed stock.
Anyhow UK maintainance went good guys, UK2 Hard Drive replaced, UK1 full Chassis swap which had a new L5420 CPU, I had customised the cabling and added another fan, It should not have cooling issues anymore.
UK1 is currently down as when we swapped the chassis out, The Mac address changed and it is still searching for the old Network adapter(Or something like that, I wasn’t sure on this one, Im not a network guy).
KVM is being put on it within the hour, If it comes before I fall asleep then I can get the node up tonight, Otherwise it will have to be in the morning. It has been a long day today.
I appreciate your patience.
I, too, do not see an option for your Manchester location. What happened?
No UK? There’re three potential customers right here! Also, why no CentOS 6, Debian 6, Ubuntu 12.04?
You can re image to centOS6 and Debian 6 in solus.
A few spots in UK if it is a must, More stock will come later on this month.
I would of had UK3 out last month but I stocked up on roughly close to 50GB of RAM and other parts, I have a spending addiction. :(
@Easevps you send out invoice 2 weeks before due date? man…
Yeah, We send them out 2 weeks prior to the due date, It gives you some time and to acknowledge the Invoice.
O.K, ha ha, I’d better pay now before I forget, which I usually do.
When will have some manchester stock in as i’d love to take up this deal :)
I have a place in UK reserved for you, Let me know if you want it, Place a order and submit a ticket. :-)
Order placed and ticket opened :)
I will respond to tickets randomly, I am working between getting KS1 migrated, The outage last night interrupted it so I am recovering data and manually rsyncing it.
http://twitter.com/easevps && http://easestatus.com/
Well I tried it today. Never get my directadmin after 8 hrs of opening ticket,so I cancelled. only reply I got is “its the weekend.”
I can get that license done within 4 Hours, Or you can proceed with the cancellation.
@Jocob, KS-3 is so slow, are you doing any?
On KS3 I have just checked and found a container with a High Load 10+, Suspended.
I now see:
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 18.5223 seconds, 58.0 MB/s
If you still have issues, I can move your VPS to the new KS1 node.
KS3 is liess than 20mb/s now, it’s a heaven for spammers’
Hello, i nearly waiting for 24 hours to get DA license, you said it will handled in few hours but none contact me again. How long should i wait for DA license? If you cant provide just reply my tickt i will look other alternatives.
I was waiting for the NOC to issue the License, I have responded in the ticket with your license details.
You should be good to go Jowy.
thank you jacob :) vps performance is excellent at this time
I ordered over 12 hours ago, but still in pending status, furthermore, no response to my tickets asking for clarification since you state ‘instant activation’ and ’24/7 support’.
Please refer to ticket number 740168 if you are reading this Jacob.
I just seen your ticket, UK is out of stock, But another node is being racked tonight, so if you can wait a couple of hours. We already have the IP Addresses and network configured, just waiting on the techs to rack it.
Is having issues for almost 3 days, still offline
There has been a persistant attack on both kansas and manchester network, but the UK will be having the upgrade which should clear the issues of say UK2 recieving high inbound and then wiping out all the other nodes.
Ok system seems to be up now, but very very lagged.
All network issues seem to be resolved in the UK, Most of you will of noticed that the network has Improved greatly since the upgrade and since we got a switch.
Atm website seems to be down … my vps also . No support / no response to ticket…. really disappointing
I am working on getting the billing area back online, Just it’s not as easy as some may think when you have a 2Gbit DDOS Following you around.
BUT THEN THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED!
Sorry, been re-watched avatar >_>
And the attack is mostly SYN, I have a few Ideas so it should be up today..
And Off Topic; I watched Batman yesterday! It’s Awesome!
Is the vps up? I can’t log in, and in client area also.
I can’t open a ticket. Just wanna file a termination of my vps.
I will do the same, is impossible to have a server that go down every 5min, got the invoice today but I will not pay for the renewal
Jorge, Bear with me untill this is resolved, I will make it worth your while to stay. I will get this attack sorted, That also goes for Wenz and Clka.
Ok, I got the invoice today as I told, and since it came 15 days before the end, if you find a way to stop the attacks it will be a pleasure to renew the service, I do like the conditions, the price and everything, but is hard to continue using this service as it is right now.
I agree with the attacks, every other hosting company seems to manage, the price is great but if the attacks are gonna keep the servers down most days then it’s a waste of time, I’m glad the stuff I have on my VPS isn’t mega important otherwise I’d be screwed.
The server has unfortunately been down for the last 3 hours. The billing and support areas are inaccessible. Please get some expert help to limit the effects of DDOS attacks (if that’s what is responsible).
It has been a lot longer than 3 hours now. I recommend staying away from these guys.
For those who are following, it’s been a 48-hour downtime. The owner has been completely unresponsive in all this time as well.
Just let me know via email, or send me a message on LET if any of you guys are still having issues.
i cannot login to my.easevps but I got third remind for invoice. I want my data from the server. I cannot submit the ticket
We switched domains, But I have put my.easevps.com back online, let me know if you have any issues.
I will put a redirect up tomorrow, but for now g’night.
Easevps/Jacob = Soon to Be Deadpool. I currently have about 200 vps’s through about 125 providers…..(providers if you don’t see me in your client list please reply with your company info, always looking for more). I can honestly say this is the worst server stability and the worst customer service I have ever seen. To start I originally had 3 servers with Jacob, then one day one of my servers just went away??? No email, no explanation no nothing. So I have 2 now and I send a ticket in only to get Jacob claiming we don’t cancel servers? No regard to the records he can see and the previous emails with server credentials or payments that all show I should have 3 vps servers (GREAT WORK JACOB). So now I just have to accept that I have 2 servers I guess…..case closed. So one day (like 3 days later) my 2 servers are unreachable and again I send in a ticket. The response: Jacob could not see any problems….everything looks good….must be on my end I guess right. So then about a day later I get server set up details from Easevps…..like I just ordered new servers….only I didn’t. Here comes my 2 servers I complained about yesterday that looked fine according to Jacob. Both servers in the same DC and both on the same subnet (not impressed at all) about 4 tickets later instead of changing my IPs to what I needed (different subnets) I am forced to cancel the duplicate subnet server. IF YOU DON’T WANT CUSTOMERS SIMPLY TAKE DOWN YOUR SITE BECAUSE I AM GETTING VERY UPSET WITH YOUR BS AND CHILDISH TACTICS!
P.S. FYI the reason you have soooo many DDOS attacks is because you piss off soooo many customers, providers and competition……they get a vps so they can find your newest IP range and they blast the hell out of it…….treat people right and the attacks will go away. Currently I want a refund for the last month of no service but Jacob claims no. I suggest to all that if you are having issues and he is unwilling to fix it or refund please send your complaints to his payment processing company (2co)….they do not like chargebacks and they should know how Jacob operates (chargebacks come with a $25 fee to the merchant so even if for some reason you loose Jacob does too……I am going to charge back my payment now and send a full report and copies of all correspondences now. Cheers Jacob! :-)
Looks like an unfortunate turn of events. Intersting that you are with 125 providers. That must be a big list. I’m sure Jacob is doing all he can to fix things but.
I can completely understand Michael’s frustration having gone through the same events over the past three days.
I was one of the unlucky ones to have a machine from Jacob in Manchester.
They had the problems – ok, we can understand that – but was told that my VPS would be migrated to another hosting centre in Manchester….in a few days.
That didnt happen for a variety of reasons but I did get a notification several weeks later letting me know that my machine had now been migrated to a different location….Jacksonville!
(now my geography isnt as good as most Jacobs…being as he sounds like he is still at school!…but Jacksonville aint nowhere near Manchester!)
So, I now have a functioning machine. That was up until a few days ago.
On November 11, I received the dreaded “Your VPS information” email but wait, my box is working ok and I’ve not asked for another. I logged a call and this is where the beginning of the end starts.
I tell Jacob that the new machine is of no use to me and cannot understand why they have allocated me another box.

Hello,
Your VPS has been recreated, Your UK IP was previously 46.37.175.132, Do you know what UK node you was located on?
It just makes it easier for me, instead of having to power on all the servers searching for a single hostname.
Best Regards,
Jacob R.

Eh - I think you may have confused things here.
The machine was already migrated to 142.54.169.156 some time ago.
So I do not need another - the ticket was in respect of compenstation

Hello,
I have refunded your recent Invoice to your account credit, I misread the ticket with another one. Let me know if you require further assistance.
Best Regards,
Jacob R.
OK – so thats that sorted then…he simply misread the ticket and several days later applied compensation to my account (for the DDoS stuff).
All was good until the morning of November 18
My server then disappeared. I could not get to the SolusVM pages so raised a ticket.
Apparently,

Hello,
The solusvm panel webserver crashed, most likely due to a overload of active connections. ie: flood against port 80, but it is now online.
So, I login to the SolusVM panel only to find that my IP address has changed.
After many, many, many more updates to the ticket (including one where I opened another ticket requesting an update….only to be told that “for some strange reason it was not appearing in the ticket queue”) I found myself having to rebuild the system.
Jacob was unable to find any information in the logs pertaining to the service getting ceased and was not able to find the old machine.
I dont believe customer service is the way forward for this team – I guarantee that he’d be fired from McDonalds for the customer service shown to me today
Mark, I admit your ticket was not handled the best, neither was michaels but we come to a agreement and hopefully in a few months he will have a more positive review on his service with us.
Like I was explaining over the phone, the original Manchester datacenter (BurstNET) which equipment went in around march time, and then things went sour Late september leading onto october, finally moved out on the 9Th of October. Cab space was provisioned in another manchester datacenter the following week (It was leading onto weekend, so nothing could be done about that). after moving in the equipment 48 hours later there was 4 ddos attacks, within 3Gbit size and UDP/SYN across a whole /24.
Melbourne (The second manchester DC we moved into) served a termination notice of the service.
I will be writing a announcement with a full explanation just to clarify everything. It will include every detail.
