BlueVM were founded in May 2011 and have been featured a handful of times. They recently came ninth in our 2013 Q1 top providers poll.

    Any chance of upgrading the BlueVM KVM in LA to 1Gbps? How much, if so?

    May 7, 2013 @ 10:59 pm | Reply
    • BlueVM's avatar

      It is 1 Gbps, unfortunately it looks like Liam posted 100 Mbps instead. We’ll see if he can correct this above.

        Is just the KVM 1Gbps or is the OpenVZ 1Gbps as well?

      It is 1Gbps :)

          It very quickly got to the point where not only this became very expensive, but also I need to log in to provider’s site and pay for another VPS literally every day, which after a while results in me spending much more time submitting payments than doing actual reviews :)

      We’re waiting on Quadranet to install an SSD for disk cacheing and frankly I don’t want to tell people “listen I know you just bought your VPS, but its going down for an hour.” I’d rather just setup the VPS once they’re done. I’m told they’ll be doing the SSD install in about 1 – 2 hours.

    Hope that this time you install some kind of DDOS protection. I would like to order one but the memory of last time haunts me.

    • BlueVM's avatar

      Our KVM nodes average over 100 days of uptime (yes that includes network uptime).

      Our only “problem children” are our S1 nodes for openvz, which are for lower end clients. The smaller VPS tend to have far more problems in regards to DDOS, abuse, etc… thus our Blue3’s seen above would have 80+ days of uptime like the rest of our S3 servers.

      Either way uptime is important to us and we are doing our best to improve our services.

      Those tests except the last two, are done on your official test files. The last two are test files of another host. The tests were done on another VPS (Will), and cross checked with yet another one (UGVPS). The test results are similiar. It doesnt look like a 1Gbps connection.

          After ordering the special in California, request a move to Kansas and a free DA license.

          I’m afraid free DA is not available in ATL, only Kansas City.

      I guess so, but we don’t terminate anyway.. we shutdown or suspend first if abuse is detected.

        Suspended, shutdown or terminated for me it’s the same, because it means having a website/service not available.

    Couldn’t resist one of each. The Buffalo KVM comes with every conceivable ISO to install from so for now I went for Windows Server 2008 (activated using my own genuine key, no keys provided obviously). Instantly provisioned and runs pretty quickly, good transfer speeds.

    The LA OpenVZ was also instantly provisioned but has no IP address! I can access it via the Java console but it has no network access.

    Ticket opened 2 hours ago (ticket #441688) but no response as yet. A little frustrating.

      BlueVM may at it’s discretion view client files in an attempt to determine the legality of the client’s usage if the client’s usage appears suspicious or abusive in nature. If the client’s files are determined to be of an illegal nature or the client’s VPS accounts are found to be abusing the VPS node’s resources BlueVM may suspend, terminate or delete the client’s VPS.

        Submit Ticket they response
        Installing Windows on a KVM with 512MB RAM causes Windows to abuse the disk, we no longer allow Windows on 512MB RAM, so you have 2 options. 1. Upgrade RAM to 1GB+, or re-install with Linux distro.

          @nbi – We had a bunch of users signup, install windows on 512 MB of RAM and their services proceeded to begin swapping with the disk anywhere from 100 – 200 times per minute. You can’t fault us for trying to protect other users by preventing windows from bashing the disks in because you didn’t setup your services with enough RAM.

          As per microsoft’s website:
          Windows 7: 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
          Windows 2003 Server: 512 MB (bare minimum) or 1 GB recommended
          Windows 2008 Server: 512 MB (bare minimum) or 2 GB recommended

          If you want we can unsuspend your VPS and you can remove your page file and that should solve the problem.

        2. is running DD test “abuse” ?

      @zerofj – Its probably a matter of how much your VPS was swapping. You’re welcome to try again, but a lot of the windows that were setup with this sale hit the disks 100+ times per second swapping.

        Windows on 512 should work, but so tight, it will pull somebody else’s resources.
        but, file transfer should be o.k though, because in order to run stuff, for example, you need stuff.

          Actually, cancel that. I don’t want to purchase your VPS.

    Hello,

    What happened?

    I am running linux, and running apache+php+mysql, no high io, and my website just 100ips/per day, why suspended my vps?

    Others running windows, and have high io, why not suspended them?

    Why? Why? Why?

    The disk io always at 10-15M/s with dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync.

    I running linux and running a lite website, I did say nothing, bacause it is cheap.

    You did not to suspend running windows vps, why suspended me? I am no high io, no high Mbps. My website less 100ip/per day.

    So pity, I advice the new customer, don’t choice bluevm. No refund, and your vps will be suspended no email notice.

    Good price, but suffered some major downtime within the first week. Decided to stay with my current VPS provider as they are more reliable – the higher price is worth it.

      They have a no refund policy. Alas, you get what you paid for, my friend.

      We are working with the data center to get NYKVM2 up. Looks like a disk issue.

    Who cares if they have a refund policy. Paypal has buyer protection.

      No, they don’t. BlueVM is offering a service/intangible good which PayPal doesn’t cover under its buyer protection. You can still open a dispute against the seller and there’s no guarantee you’ll get a refund (unless you have a PayPal rep that sympathizes with you and will bend the rules a bit).

    Their service totaly sucks!! Hard to get an explanation about downtime from the support. Not reliable for a business level hosting.

    No, I am in LA.
    BlueVM said I have high I/O.
    But I running apache+php+mysql in debian 6 32 bit. My Website less 100ip/per day.
    The vps so slowly.
    I think my site cause I/O because his disk less 1M/s.
