yip just got rebooted again now
I would have loved WLS , if they do something about the deteriorating Disk performance. the slow DISK i/o is causing lot of troubles. I have a ramnode VPS and their I/O never drops below 400 MB/s , while with WeLoveServers , the TOP I/O i ever got on US/UK and DE locations was 20 to 50 MB/s at its best. i dont mind 20 or 30 MB/s BUT if raid syncing etc occurs , it gets below 10 MB/s. I have given up raising tickets about it , and i will just wait until
I love the support thought , Christopher is a nice person and knows how to deal his customers and also knows the technical howto’s.
You are 100% right. Customer support is the best, so friendly and polite.. I respect companies that respect their customers and apologize when things go the wrong way. Today I’ve tested my box and I guess things are getting better:

Thanks Chris for what you have done so far. BTW, I tried to vote but the vote was only for old members before the vote started. You should have told us that before I was wasted my time for nothing..

Now even ssh server is back to good all days when I used to click my keyboard and immediately seeing the character on mu terminal.. I hope things stay like that..
And I hope that you Chris keep us always posted when things occur instead of things being not clear and people start saying bad things about you.. I know that you have explained the raid issue but it was very delayed.. Thanks anyways guys. Keep up the good work..
124MB/s
the luxury of it.
not getting close to that on the UK nodes.
I have UK server, too. It was giving me 2 days ago 25mb/s on average.. But since yesterday things returned to normal. Just wait and you shall be happy; just don’t forget how generous they were with us.
Today test:

GL,, Today the master control panel was giving me 404 nginx error for 2 hours maybe.. now things are good.. I don’t like giving private info about me but i’m just trying to cheer you up and open tickets if must..
My bad I was testing another vps that I own with another company,, real test is:

I guess things are getting better once the RAID is synced and Chris inform us so..
We are waiting Chris for the good news..
A couple of our UK servers had some failing hard drives because the vendor had a bad shipment of HDD’s so the affected servers were hotswap replaced. As with every server after a failed drive replacement the raid array must rebuild and confirm data integrity. Unfortunately this can be a lengthy process depending on the size of the array and during this process it does slow down performance.
All of our US servers have not been affected by this bad shipment of HDD’s… but only a couple of our UK servers. Once the raid rebuild is complete on those UK servers performance will be back to normal. We have the rebuild set to low priority right now so at least your VPS is still usable during this process and the rebuild won’t be using all of the disk IO :]
If you have any questions my direct email is c.boswell [at] weloveservers [dot] net. Always available to help clear up any confusion or to address any concerns.
Chris
How long will the rebuild take ?
its been a good week maybe two since this was raised.
????
Your support ticket has been updated.
no uk location ..can you offer it or just what we got in website ?
must say after getting 3 i got 6 now and very happy with support and service tehre was no uk stock wish i had one to the collection glad to see i didnt miss out on anything there with the issues in the uk if the offers still applies will get a few more usa stock
Dear lj, I understand you have 6 servers with WLS, they are all located in different data centers? Could execute a command
wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O – -o /dev/null|bash
on each of your servers. I’m not happy with my server in the UK. Maybe Christopher will move my vps to another location.
Friend the offer is still open? and says you install kloxo free? I’m newbie to vps
Greetings,
The offer is still available. For your convenience we offer a CentOS 5 template pre-installed with Kloxo that you can reimage your server to via the SolusVM VPS CP.
Chris
Hi,
I see earlier in the comments that the UK provision is currently sold out. Are there any plans to provide more in the UK?
Thanks,
Absolutely. We are aiming for by the end of this week when our new server builds are ready. Our vendor was out of stock on the specific LSI RAID controller we needed so this caused the delay with regards to our UK servers.
Chris
UK nodes are still having a right struggle to get over 30mbs on the storage.
the raid rebuild has been going on for weeks now.
true they are cheap and UK based.
but if you are going to get frustrated with your sites taking too long to load.
it mnight be best to stear clear until these issues are resolved.
Maybe Chris has given up.
disk speed on UK nodes is very poor today.
Greetings Cid,
I have updated your ticket. We can communicate further there.
Chris
Hi,
Will there be any more UK servers made ABC ailable?
Thanks,
Steve
Scrub the ABC from that last message!
Hey, so i am thinking of buying a VPS from you but i live in Europe and i see that the only VPS available are from USA, i plan to put on a few websites that will get traffic from USA.
Will my website load fast enough? How can i check the loading time, i know that each website will be different but i am planing on using a simple wordpres blog, but i want my sites to be fast, that is the most importnat thing to me.
Thanks

Wow, am quite impressed. Server was running very well for 4 months no problems at all, today a heap of problems with downtime, submitted a ticket and got a response in 2 minutes and everything was fixed. Love the speedy fix and support. May get another VPS soon.
Fair play…
server issues appear to have been resolved and disk speeds are a lot better to a magnitude of 10X.
Evey thing loads a lot lot better.

Are you guys talking about disk speeds on the UK or UK servers? Submitted a ticket a few days amg got a response that “UK Node 33 is working perfectly” (after some steps taken by thew company). Now the average speed is about 50 Mb/s. It’s quite a difference to your 256 and 381 Mb/s. Wondering why this is so. I would still like to know what are the company’s target figures for the UK servers.
These are the disk write readings for mine.
Node52 – UK
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/test.out bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 6.43032 s, 167 MB/s
Node53 – UK:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/test.out bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 3.7417 s, 287 MB/s
On my BUF node in US:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/test.out bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.3139 s, 147 MB/s
Having said that, it does vary somewhat; I’ve seen it go as low as 50 MB/s too. It depend whether your neighbours are running lots of I/O-heavy processes.
But even 50 MB/s is more than enough for most processes, so I don’t really see any issue there.
Thanks. It could be enough but I’m still disappointed that I’ve never seen any 3-digit figures or close. Probably my neighbours are very different from yours. Here’s mine at the moment (UK node 33)

16384+0 records out

Have you tried raising a support ticket and asking them to look at the issue for your specific node and IP address?
Paste a few dd runs over a period of time, clearly stating the times it was run. That will help the engineers look at your issue in more detail.
I have, a few days ago. Got a reply that they’ve just removed a few abusers and that the node works perfectly. Right after that the speed was 60-70 Mb/s. As of now it’s this:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/test.out bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 58.8988 s, 18.2 MB/s
Will have to write again.

Weloveservers had alot of problems with the disk I/O. So they are using SSD caching on all the newer nodes and the old nodes will momentarily be upgraded to this. So it you will get better I/O when your node gets upgraded
I agree with u.. since mine really improved a lot.. so what u have said (which i don’t understand) might have been the reason behind the increased performance of disk I/O..
Greetings Alexander,
Email me at c.boswell [at] weloveservers [dot] net – I have a solution for you.
Chris
Thank you, Christopher,
but the problem has been already solved by your support team. I’be been moved to another UK node. It’s perfect now. Thanks again.
Happy to see that the guys at the support department took care of it for you. My door is always open and you have my email should you ever have a need to speak with me directly.
Chris
Just ordered 2 servers,
1 x uk and 1 x us
Both seem pretty fast and INSTANT setup (fastest I’ve seen in fact)… Looking good so far 🙂
Thanks for signing up!
Welcome Onboard 🙂
Hi,
I’ve been with WLS for around 3 month’s now and had a few issue’s at first the the UK node – ticket opened and they moved me onto another node without any problems.
Few benchmarks here and there and all seems fine – network a bit slow at times but nothing major.
I think it’s expected when on a UK node as they are very popular and seems to be targeted a lot.
Anyway support has been outstanding – very fast responce!
I’m now in the process of moving my VPS onto the buffalo node as I no longer require UK and they done this within 5 minuets of my ticket been open, WLS offer exccellent support and it backs up there promises.
Hope the buffalo location is excellent – will post benchmark later on.
Thanks,
Anthony
I am hosting with these guys… DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!! .. They will promise you just about anything to get you in… when you get there beware… customer service responses can be expected closer to 48 hours.. and they just assume keeping your money and losing you as a customer, than solving practical and simple issues. Short sited to say the least…
I see a jealous competitor has sneaked in a sneaky comment.
What a douche bag! , WLS is so lovely , they are super at what they do.
They usually reply to my ticket in a few hours, the fastest was 2 minutes.
That is very rude and totally false. I’ve been using them for almost 6 months by now and I am really happy with their support and care to fix your problem. They are really good and caring.
You are such a liar!
I am neither a jealous competitor or rude… this is fact… and yes, let me repeat STAY AWAY!!
Nice damage control with the fake replys btw… there is no way in hell that they average 2 hours for a response!!
Negative, those aren’t fake. I specifically remember working/interacting with some of those clients via our ticket system and over at LowEndTalk. Our average ticket response time is actually <10 minutes. Mind emailing me at c.boswell [at] weloveservers [dot] net with your paid invoice number so I can confirm that you are (or were) a client and the accuracy of your claims? Everything you are saying does not sound like us as you can see from the reviews we received from customers who signed up for this LEB special, so if what you are describing is true then I sincerely apologize and would like to see how I can help. Looking forward to your email…
Chris
So far my response times from WLS is 2 min, 15 min, 33 min, 2 hr, 50 min.
Here is the 2 minute response time:
http://i.imgur.com/N0Xt5xr.jpg
I have been a customer of WLS since 4/17/13, and since then I see I have submitted 20 support tickets. In all those tickets I’ve never had a ticket not be responded to in the same day. The last 10 tickets I submitted got an average response time of 19.2 minutes, including technical questions relating to setup and not VPS issues, sales questions, and software installation stuff. 2 hour response time? I’ve never seen it so I can’t say for how honest your statement is.
Absolutely wrong. Been using them for few months and response is fast.
i have support response within the hours max 3 they have not promissed me nothing vps have been running around 99% good for me and i have vps in all there locations had a couple of reboots on tx node but that was it im waiting for more uk stock so i can get another
Thanks!
In unrelated news just wanted to say that our new site design will be live by next week — we can’t wait to show you guys! Stay tuned, it’s a well overdue refresh. :]
Chris
Is Kent, UK still available. I don’t see it on website.
D
swim your a clown ive got screens to prove they answer support quick
Hi,
I’d like to compliment how WLS just responded to an issue.
I was experiencing slow disk writes on my VPS node for a couple of days; decided to wait to see if it would improve. It didn’t, and I was getting between 20 – 50MB/s write speed, which was causing unnecessary load on my VPS, and even perpetually causing the first SSH attempt to fail.
I sent in my “dd” screen shots, VPS IP address, location, and node number (very important to do this so that their technicans can solve your problem quickly; providing more information is always much better than providing less). I got the initial response in 21 minutes. After asking me to test disk writes a few more times, the issue was completely resolved within two hours, which is really great because getting to the root of this issue was not trivial.
It turned out that “there was an abuser on the network sending DDoS attacks which was causing this, but we’ve caught and terminated him just a few minutes ago. Everything will be stable here on out.”
So two conclusions:
(1) WLS technicians are really spot on and respond quickly to issues.
(2) Those of you who are thinking of abusing resources will be caught and your account will be terminated by WLS.
Hope this helps people who are still deciding whether to go with WLS. They are a great company and my experience with them have so far been nothing but stellar.
Thank you again, Ulrich and George.
Second VPs that I order with you.
I am super happy with the first one and now I ordered a big one in order to migrate all my services in Europe to your node in Buffalo.
Hope that the speed is ok.
Thanks for all 🙂
Happy to have you Ruben! Thank you.
Chris
Hello Chris,
I think UK is out of stock. Really need a uk vps in this deal. Can you make an exception for me?
Thanks.
We’ll see what we can do. Shoot us an email => sales [at] weloveservers [dot] net
Chris
I ordered Black Friday deal. Running for couple of months and here is my opinion.
Best price anywhere for this kind of setup.
Feels that Christopher Boswell really cares about his customers, as his replies are courteous and fast. One of the reasons I will stay with their service.
We (customers) gets real impatient. Sometimes things just take time.
Problems, One of the support staff really don’t read the support tickets carefully as I didn’t get the answer on question I asked. This was only with one person. Could be new employee, but wasn’t a big deal.
Couldn’t check the status of their service through their Control Panel. Sometimes it just doesn’t. Server could be busy, but not a big deal as long as my sites are up and running.
I will reccomend using their service.
We did indeed recruit and take on a new support member last month. I believe he was still in training at the time. He is more familiar and comfortable with our backends by this point so that should not be an issue again.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Chris
Purchased a 1gb vps $19/year a few months ago, never really use it, anyways I just run the dd command and it’s really slow:

Greetings,
I know we were running software updates on all of our VPS Nodes today, so its likely you just ran the disk speed test and caught us in the midst of running system updates, resulting to a slower result as servers were busy. At this point all systems have completed its updates so if you are still experiencing an issue then submit a ticket.
Chris
How to setup vpn?
cat /dev/ppp returns no such file or directory. Can anyone confirm if the vps supports ppp / tun?
Any specific procedure to setup the vps as vpn server.
Greetings,
You can enable TUN/TAP and or PPP from the SolusVM VPS CP.
Chris
We’d like to thank you for your continued support and patronage, we have come a long way throughout the years and truly appreciate you for allowing us to do what we’re passionate about.
Here at WeLoveServers we have introduced our brand NEW website design, which is a complete refresh that was well overdue. We would like to know what you think! => http://www.weloveservers.net
Chris
So this is an old thread but I still need to voice my complaint somewhere. We had our servers from this deal shut off because they changed the acceptable use policy AFTER this deal, and were never given a refund on the hundreds of dollars we spent. I have sent dozens of emails to WLS staff, and kept getting the same response of “we will issue you a refund after the holidays” or “we will pass this to our managers” and nothing ever came of it.
SO I HIGHLY recommend you NOT use WeLoveServers. The machines are overcrowded anyway.

I noticed that you seemed to have forgot to request the free upgrade of the network speed to 1Gbps. I went ahead and took the liberty of upgrading that for you as the free 1Gbps upgrade is still available for LEB. If you require any further assistance please respond to the support ticket and we’ll be happy to help.
Chris
Just Curious how come the UK location isn’t on offer for either of these offers. It’d be nice if it was or otherwise
Due to limited resources, we are currently out of stock in our UK location for this offer. Other locations remain in stock. If you email sales [at] weloveservers [dot] net we’ll see what we can do for you.
Chris
very great 😀 thanks!
Hi,
Just curious you mentioned about DNS server management as complimentary but when I went to order page there was no domain and dns server info asked. I am ONLY looking for VPS hosting company with their own DNS.
Secojdly, any offer going on at this moment ;).
Greetings,
For more information regarding our DNS service see: http://core.weloveservers.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=8
Because of popular demand this offer is still available.
Chris
I was initially happy with them after signing up on Black Friday, but for the past several months my VPS has had severe speed issues with disk I/O. Just now:
Even simple commands like ‘ls’ and ‘rm’ take several seconds to complete.
Their support team been quick to respond to the many tickets I’ve opened about this (usually a few hours), but unfortunately they can’t seem to do much. Their nodes are either very crowded or plagued with abusers. Even after a switch to a new node, disk performance remained poor.
I would not recommend going with WLS.
Good Morning,
Those results are definitely not acceptable. Can I have a ticket number so I can look into this?
Makes me wonder whether or not the tech that migrated you migrated you to a SSD cached server or not… because all of our new nodes are being setup on SSD cached deployments for better I/O performance.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Looks like you’re already responding to my ticket (#318864). Thanks for the speedy response – if anything you guys have been top notch when it comes to rapid support. Looking forward to getting these issues worked out.
Resolved. Thanks Kevin.
Chris
Resolved indeed! Chris migrated my VPS to their LA location and I’m happy to report that all problems are resolved for now.
