          Make sure you don’t change the billing term from the order link. If that doesn’t do it, which one are you testing? They all appear to work from here.

      It’s a fair AUP if you ask me and that’s one of the reasons I got a VPS with them. The only ones that think its a “hard” AUP are the ones that want to abuse their servers, use it to spam, or do something else that’s illegal.

        Quite agreed. The performance and the stability highly depend on what users do with their boxes. A harsh AUP helps box with legit purposes perform better.

        Anyway, I have been a happy customer for a year. I have an OVZ box in Jax, and the uptime keeps great. Recommend Crissic.

    I have 4 VPS boxes with them and I have to admit they have been amazing and the prices have been great. Sometimes support has been a little slow in the past if you want a true production machine but lately I think its been way faster. AUP hasn’t been a problem even though I have had an issue or two in the past with overuse due to some weird java problems, they have been really understanding and never kicked me off. Would totally recommend to anyone needed a fast bandwidth machine with great resources.

      max load is typically 3, we do reboots from time to time if a node is at insanely high load levels (script checks for 15 min load avg of 3 or greater, reboots, issues an automated ticket).

          I see, I reacted because you said “Disk IO seems pretty slow..” followed by a 154MB/s DD test. This topic has been discussed many times before at LET, and usually the consensus is that DD alone is not a good indicator of disk performance. but my opinion, 154MB/s is very good for DD, specially on KVM.

      Hello,

      We do not offer DDoS protection. We do utilize BGP Null communities and will nullroute IPs that are hit with nullroutes, and will suspend VPS caught performing outbound DoS. This is fully automated and tickets are sent to the customer(s) when an IP is nulled, and when the null is removed.
