I haven’t been given details on the hardware in Dallas, but it should be something along these lines as well.

All IPs are direct allocations from ARIN, so in case a move is ever needed, the IPs go with you. As usual, feel free to share your experiences in the comments!

    All 3 IPv4 are available immediately after ordering or I will receive only 1 IP and I have to order another addresses by submitting ticket?
    Also, in shopping cart I see “4 vCPU Cores (Fair Share)”, and in your offer you wrote “3 vCPU cores”, what option is correct?

      > All 3 IPv4 are available immediately after ordering or I will receive only 1 IP and I have to order another addresses by submitting ticket?
      We assign one IP on VPS creation and the rest can be claimed automatically from our control panel by providing IP justification.

      >Also, in shopping cart I see “4 vCPU Cores (Fair Share)”, and in your offer you wrote “3 vCPU cores”, what option is correct?
      You will get 4 vCPU Cores.

    Bought one of these last night. Had some issues with the memory allocation on my VPS. After about 7 hours and 6 or 8 OS reloads (I lost count) I finally gave up and submitted a ticket. At the time I was thinking I would be waiting a day or so because of the holiday. I was wrong. First reply by them was in 8 minutes on a very early Christmas morning, 4 AM CDT! Had to paste some error logs and other info to show the issue but after they updated some settings they had the issue fixed. Total ticket time was about an hour.

    Excellent customer service and the VPS is running great!

    Thanks Andrew & Alexander!

    Merry Christmas!

Also, a general question for others here who might know. I noticed a few negative remarks on LEB about Las Vegas — are there issues, or is that just personal likes and dislikes talking? TIA
