    Would it be possible to have a /48 ipv6 subnet assigned (with the RDNS delegated to my own name server)?

        Assuming UPS delivers our drives – you should be getting servers tomorrow. If not, whenever they deliver it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      I ordered 3rd December, still haven’t received until today.
      They promise to me that the server is ready before Christmas, so let’s wait for their appointments before Christmas.

        A lot of people have gotten servers. We might not have gotten to yours yet but we’re working hard on it. Sadly those that have gotten servers don’t comment 🙂

        We only really see negative comments here, but to put things in perspective, it’s not everyone – actually a minority. A lot of have and are getting provisioned.

          We just delivered 3 orders a little bit ago so you should start getting them soon.

      I ordered the 8th or 9th, still waiting, getting frustrated…

      Last week I was told “this week”, then “late this week”, then “end of the week”, and now I’ve been told “this week.”

      I finally got fed up when I got my bill for January and said “Just give me a date I can expect the server to be up, not a timeline, a specific date” and someone closed the ticket (for about the 5th or 6th time). Starting to wonder if this place is a scam.

      • Fliphost's avatar

        We are certainly not a scam I can say that for sure. To be honest we were a bit caught off when the offer was posted. It was posted much quicker than expected. Further delays came when a storm hit Dallas and UPS decided to then delay our shipments of hardware for 2 weeks.

        We are bringing servers up now and the delays now just how long it takes us to install and rack the hardware.

        As to the bill for january, this was an automated function of our panel, we did not try to bill you twice. Due dates and invoices will be updated once the server is delivered.

        I am sorry for the delays there have been and we hope to make it up to you in the future.

        -Alex

            It’s an unmanaged server and you’ll have to do the zPanel install yourself.

    Yup, after Harry’s response on the ticket I am definitely done. Continuing to accuse me of lying despite the ticket history clearly showing differently.

    Bottom line, I definitely would not recommend this company to anyone. I feel like I have been treated like dirt. They could offer me a server free for life right now and I wouldn’t accept it.

    Good luck to everyone else who ordered, hopefully you all actually get your servers and have better experiences than I have had.

        To clarify: the SSD servers are in stock not the HDD ones. And yes it’s a different type of server. The SSD ones have 2.5″ drive bays and the HDD ones 3.5″. Unfortunately we can’t swap the SSD ones for HDD.

    I placed my order for the sale on December 2nd, and shortly after placing the order I had inquired about an anticipated time frame for provisioning. I was originally told normal setup is approximately 2-3 days, but due to Thanksgiving, and recent sales, this may be pushed back a few days. Since then, I have submitted infrequent tickets due to their updates via email indicating delayed shipments, damaged hardware, holidays, and high volume orders from sales, and as such I have been comfortable waiting for my server.

    It has now been 1 month since I have placed my order, and now my tickets regarding setup time are going unanswered — something which they previously only took a few hours to respond. Furthermore, it appears that those having submitted no changes to hardware, as a colleague of mine had, received a server much more quickly. He only ordered additional IPs, but has already received his server approximately 2 weeks ago. I had made an upgrade from 1TB to 2TB hard drive due to the significant value. I suppose had I known making this upgrade would have delayed my order by over 2 weeks (and counting), I would have kept a stock setup.

    Now here I am after 1 month of waiting, having already received my first invoice along with multiple “overdue” notifications, without a server. I simply hope I can receive an update soon as this is certainly does not fare well, as is beginning to show the signs of an overwhelmed, and under resourced operation.
