thanks for posting legitimate offers as of late instead of the absolutely hilarious ones
You sure? I usually dedicate one day a week doing that. More coming up :)
My Burst vps was down just now, and cannot be rebooted.
5.95*0.8=4.76
Thanks. /me MATHS FAIL!
LOL, I’m just using Google for Maths =D
The title is 4.36 yet
4.76…
Is this a recurring discount?
Yes, this is a recurring discount.
BURSTNET
You owe my ONE IP to me, only one is assined to my VPS
what’s recurring discount mean?
Recurring discount which applies to every month if you stay with them for a long you will get this discount every month.
One time discount which applies to only first time/payment.
I would not bother with BurstNET in Miami. Scranton is good and so is Los Angeles, but I would avoid Miami even “premium” VPS servers in Miami. It’s that bad.
We had VPS in Miami for “DNS on IPv6 network” purposes only. Their IPv6 network is bad, really bad. Our Zabbix monitoring system reported IPv6 connection problems 3/4 of the time we had this VPS.
So in the end we just moved our DNS some other place.
IPv4 network on the other hand was performing good. Out of 31 days of service packets loss occurred only 2-3 times.
I would also avoid Burstnet Miami for the sole risk of Hurricanes, and thus risks of extended downtime
Hillarious! Great username…real classy… :-)
PS – 36 NE 22nd and Terremark are not going down during a hurricane…
BURSTNET
Are you sure?
Burst is one of the top greatest LEB providers I have used, but currently more and more things ( such as some NOSQL databases) can’t work well with openvz and sadly they haven’t provided Xen based linux/bsd yet.
Xen Linux we will have available any time now.
Only delayed recently due to industry-wide hard drive shortages…
BURSTNET
Xen Linux VPS services are now available in our ordering system.
Details will be on the website in the next 24-48 hours, but the system is taking orders already at this time.

Code YEAREND20 is valid for UK/EU VPS as well and till the end of 2011
product details: http://www.burstnet.eu/vps.shtml?c=113
order link: https://service.burstnet.eu/cart.php?gid=18&c=113
Affiliate links?
definitely not. Those are the official links BurstNET sent to me. I’m already a client of theirs. Mail seem legit to me, from is admin@mailbox.burst.net and come thru their production servers.
Just a quick note i forgot to add: Don’t forget to backup often. This year BustNET lost all my data, i think they got hacked and some/all their UK VPS were deleted. And it took them 3 days and a few tickets to create a new container with a different IP address and setup DNS PTR for the 2 IP address i use.
Ah..ok, Must be Burstnet trackers then cause if you go directly you don’t get the c=
Not good Burstnet. I’ve ordered my server 4 days ago and still haven’t got it. Got an email today instead, after filling a support ticket:
“Unfortunately, there was a problem during fulfillment of your order. The proper personnel has been notified and you should receive a new welcome email, as soon as possible.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue.”
That was 6 hours ago. Still no welcome mail…
Do you allow your Linux VPS to be used for VPN servers?
Absolutely…
BURSTNET
The reason I ask is because when I opened a support ticket about this 3 weeks ago, I was told no. (Ticket number 2991980)
They had recent attackers on their network it appears on WHT.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1105887
Looks taken care of though. Somewhat.
Other then that when I was with Burst in Flordia it was all but packetloss. Great VPS, company is acquaint at best. I don’t entirely like some of the comments by Burst on WHT, though I understand the so-called ‘non-payment, abuser admins’ that they have. Everyone has them ;).
Got a new email, with the server on a new IP and again… not available.
Are you sure Burstnet is a trustworthy company? Even UptimeVPS used to deliver servers in minutes, and I have been waiting for 5 days on this.
Something like this has happened to me. Got e-mail with password. I’m trying to access to the VPS but either SSH or Ping work. Fantastic: I created a ticket 12 hours ago, no reply until now.
Today I have cancelled a VPS, I will not renew anything anymore.
Are you sure you followed instructions to activate the VPS.
This is a common issue with Windows VPS (if that is what you have) clients that don’t follow the activation steps supplied to them in their access details email.

BurstNET, could you please take a look at my Order 10000037675 and ticket ID: 3034139 ?
Order is on hold for prior unpaid invoices.
BURSTNET
Has ordered in them VPS 72 hours back. Till now isn’t active. Yesterday have ceased to answer support tickets.
It’s very badly for such large company :(
Please supply your order # and we’ll take a look.
I’m sure the order is on hold for one reason or another.
BURSTNET
Please specify for what reason the order pending.
Invoice #25016951
Order Number: 2692375813
Ticket ID: 3030644
12-13-2011 – 07:06AM I have received such notice:
Unfortunately, there was a problem during fulfillment of your order. The proper personnel has been notified and you should receive a new welcome email, as soon as possible.
After that there were no answers.
Looks to be resolved.
BURSTNET
Yes, it is really, a problem was resolved and VPS is activated.
Thanks.
Still no respond from BurstNet. What happen?
This is NOT the BurstNET support system.
We do not supply support thru LEB…
BURSTNET
Your order is on hold for prior unpaid invoices.
But I am sure you know this already, as our provisioning systems notified you of such.
BURSTNET
Hello,
Since, i you did not respond to my tickets i must post here my question. And yes, LEB is better for support because now i got your respond :)
Well, Its a bit annoying because the unpaid invoices is for something which is cancelled and terminated before 3 months. Why you want me to pay for something which is already terminated 3 months ago ? Either refund me or deliver my server.
You have overdue invoices, for a service you never bothered to cancel. Of course we want to be paid for service rendered, prior to delivering new service to you.
BURSTNET
You don’t have anything to do with the arcus brothers shop down in bloomsburg do you?
My experience with this provider is very negative– I do NOT recommend signing up for these deals. I installed CentOS 6 and when I did a simple update on it the VPS stopped working for some reason. I didn’t hear back from support for TWO DAYS. Now that it’s back up their network connection is so slow it’s completely unusable.
Please provide a support ticket # for this, and a traceroute, so we can get to the bottom for this for you. We are not having any network related issues, so most likely this is specific to your node or VPS itself. We have even seen this occur before based on the O/S template utilized.
.
.
BurstNet set a wrong IP that assigned to other VPS for one of my new orders. I raised a tikect. Then, they rebuilt my correct one, the wrong one is wrong yet.
So, I get 2 VPSes with same order. I’m puzzled which one I can use.
haha
I’m sure the other will get removed shortly. We we more concerned about getting the order corrected. Use the newest one.
BURSTNET
I just need you assign a usable IP for my VPS, not rebuild a new VPS or erase my another VPS’s data.
Ticket #3033485
It appears this is being worked on already for you…
BURSTNET
Don’t bother unless you have a phone number. They will call you to verify without warning.
Our fraud checking system only calls to verify if you fail other fraud checking measures.
.
.
okay i’m actually somewhat curious, what are the dots for? i see this on your forum posts too
Hello BurstNet,

I am referring to Order 10000037675 and ticket ID: 3034139
Thank you for providing your ticket number. I will see to it that your specific situation is investigated and that you receive a reply through our support system as soon as possible.
1. Your inquiry is not related to VPS services, and not relevant to LEB, so no idea why you are posting this on LEB.
2. You have a overdue balance for services you never cancelled. Of course we are not going to provide you new service, until you pay for you old.
BURSTNET
ordered a windows vps few days ago, ~20 minutes activation, seems good so far.
I really recommend their Windows VPS, very good service, instant activation and cheap prices :)
ordered an vps on 12/19/2011, but until today I cannot used it because the network only connected to local network.
I tried to browse google from IE on my vps but it said “network problems”.
I issued a ticket to asked about the network setting, they told me to change the IP from dhcp to manualy and they give me the gateway,broadcast and DNS IP. The problems are same even after I change the IP manualy , I tried to contact them again on 12-21-2011 – 02:55AM but has no respond at all until now.
I contacted the billing support to change my datacenter from LA to scranton, but either has no respond at all.
I don’t know where should I contact them again, its already 2 days + since I ordered it but i can’t used it at all. Should I ask for a refund ?
My ticket # are 3043557
BurstNET’s VPS service is just terrible. Extremely slow disk IO, often and long downtimes. It could be way better. I have been used it for months, then switched to dedicated server from Hetzner. Now I am looking for cheap VPS service again, with unmetered bandwidth (monthly traffic is about 4T and growing) and enough disk space (50–100G)…
Have you contacted our Support Dept for assistance with this?
BURSTNET
I had purchased two VPS one is Miami 1Gbps and Scranton 512MB. Scranton is good and running fine. Miami VPS is crap it used to loose connection very often. Hence, cancelled it for “End of Billing Cycle” that is Jan 29th, 2012. But now VPS is no were to be found. It has been terminated before End of Billing date. Anyways Miami VPS was good for nothing.
WST,
You said:
“BurstNET’s VPS service is just terrible. Extremely slow disk IO, often and long downtimes.”
We have thousands of satisfied VPS customers. It is likely that the problems you experienced are isolated to one service or node. We do all we can to proactively work to prevent outages and quickly address issues that arise. However, I know that there are some times that certain nodes may be hit with unavoidable problems.
WST and GeekView,
While I must mention that our forum presence is never meant to overshadow normal support channels, I will try to investigate.
Are you able to provide ticket numbers that I can reference, to research the reported issues and ensure that your concerns are addressed via our support system?
Everywhere BurstNET allows vpn servers installed on their servers. I bought a vps server yesterday and took more than 20 emails asking for support to help me install openvpn and they tell me not to give that support. I must tell they which modules need the container for that to work vpn and they will help. What modules i need????
Always appear this error in the openvpn screen
iptables service not started because of error (SVC_RUN_EXCEPT)
if you can not enable this service, please tell me and not waste more time and choice another provider
Hello, finally i had the support and the server working well with openvpn.
The miami vps is down with no estimated up time. Its been down all day. They say its their upstream provider. Is there no redundancy? Is the mickey mouse hosting? I need to find a serious provider. I am shocked and wishing we did not use burstnet. Up till now they were great. But to be done for many hours with no estimated up time… not cool.
There was a major outage all across Miami, with the primary dark fiber provider to the region, to many data centers and carriers. Our entire redundant/diverse path ring was taken out, and we are absolutely livid on how that could have occurred. We are investigating and raising heck about it currently, though we are back online in Miami already, as that should not have been possible given the redundant configuration we implented with the carrier.
BURSTNET
I am sure glad to hear that you feel that was unacceptable. Certainly it was not consistent with your reputation.
It has messed up Comcast Internet in Florida also
Is it possible to get a box setup with iptables and natting tonight?
I am trying to get setup to use for site backups as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Nathan
Our setups are automated… ;-)
BURSTNET

Beginning of this week we should have something.
BURSTNET

BURSTNET
Great! Thanks a lot.
Chicago location now available for BurstNET budget VPS services!
BURSTNET
no coupon for it?
We typically do not offer discount on new locations just opened.
BURSTNET
Hello,
Do you offer licensed Windows VPS or we have to manage our own?
Thanks,
Our Windows VPS packages include the operating system/license.
We are members of the Microsoft SPLA program.
BUSRTNET
Sound good,’ll go for your package soon :-)
hello,
I’m interested on :
VPS #2 (Virtual Private Server) – SolusVM – (LOS ANGELES, CA) – CPU: 1.5GHZ, RAM: 1GB, DISKSPACE: 50GB, BANDWIDTH: 1000GB/MONTH
$12.95 USD Monthly – $129.50 USD Annually
Is this Manageable for this price?
I can Remote Desktop to this, correct>?
Is the new PROMO are a recurring discount?
Yes, this is a recurring discount valid for as long as you keep that service active.
BURSTNET
I bought the VPS package #2 after reading this post. But I am surprised that my download/upload speed is caped at around 1 – 1.5 Mps (reported by speedtest.net) It is even slower than my broadband service.
I canceled the service after 5 hours of testing. Asked for refund but no response.
Thank you very much for letting us know that fact. The bandwidth should not be capped. I was about to sign up.
BURSTNET, please explain. Thank you very much!
We do not cap bandwidth on our VPS services.
We do however constantly monitor and suspend users abusing their bandwidth allocation…which alone proves that we don’t cap, as if we did, they wouldn’t be able to use enough to make us need to cap them ;-)
BURSTNET
Did you contact technical support to see if there was any issues with the specific node you were set up on?
That would have been step one…
BURSTNET
I am interested in your hosting service.
The last promotion ended on 05/31/2012. Any promotion in the near future?
Thanks
I would expect a new code sometime this month…
BURSTNET
BurstNet, No promotion yet? Can you give me a date please?
It good that Burst net offers Low end prices, but the problem with them is their templates do not have proper paths for the installation [Budget Windows VPS] for an example, I have been using Their service, but I miserably fail to witness that their responce time is low when it comes to technical queries like “This feature is not working, Can you check it out?”, “The CD ROM path seems to be wrong”, “SQl Servers deems to deny to install”.
It takes a lot of time to get your VPS work with them, that the sad part :(
Hello,
I am sorry but unless I am misinterpreting your comment, you are stating that we use Operating system templates for our Solus Windows VPS nodes. This is absolutely true, and it is also true that we do not allow custom ISOs to be installed. If that is where your concern comes from, I am sorry but this is in place so that each and every Windows VPS is valid, working, and has security up to date.
Hi, Is there any promotion planned?
Thanks!
There should be a new promotion by the end of the month most likely.
BURSTNET
How much to add an additional 1GB of RAM?
Pricing for additional space?
Thanks.
We do not sell such add-ons to our VPS packages…you would just need to upgrade to next larger package(s) instead.
BURSTNET
Lame – Their sales pages shows 10% off, not 20% off.
Replying to my own comment: I didn’t realize the original was posted almost a year ago. I (incorrectly) assumed that LEB posted more than 5 Windows offers per year.
are swindlers, I want to charge for more expensive vps that I did not ask and I do not want to repay the money
Nonsense. We have been in business nearly 22 years, and are one of the oldest and most respected players in the Web hosting industry. Sounds to me like you are just trying to get out of paying for something your ordered, or want to order, etc..
Contact our Customer Service Dept to work it out.
They are fair and honest.
If they are telling you no to something, then I can safely assume they are in the right, as we do not intentionally “swindle” our client base….it’s not worth the small change to risk our reputation over a few dollars.
BURSTNET
It’s an old post, yet still receiving comments. Will BurstNet send a new offer to LEB?
Never been successful registering with them, though.
Reason: They asked to sign a document BEFORE I could make the payment, yet they asked for PayPal transaction ID on the document. I contacted their customer service, but they never answer what should I write in place of this transaction ID (since no payment has been made). I gave up after several failed attempts.
Burst.net has the WORST customer service of ANY hosting company that I have dealt with in the last 15 years.
In my experience they are rude and could give a rats ass if you are a satisfied customer. They just want their money.
Duke, our customer service department is not in the office on weekends however they do occasionally review tickets remotely. If you have a ticket open in relation to a specific issue please let me know or open a ticket to sales@burst.net so I can look into it for you. I can’t comment on your specific issue until I can review it in our system and see what the trouble it.
Bad customer support. My server down during the Chicago server power outage I take that as normal issue. My server keep down until I submit the ticket which is 3 days after they mention all service back to normal. Now my vps is mess up and not event able to install anything on it. Well done BurstNET! When my billing cycle end I will move to other provider. Worst experience ever!
