    I was a customer with your previously, and I was happy with service and quality of it until the node I was one was taken by law enforcement. I do not appreciate law enforcement in different countries going trough my personal files and get access to my private keys, including those not signed by you guys, this is a hugde security concern.

    I never got any explanation why this happen, and I lost all my data. Why did it happen, and have any steps been taken to prevent this in the future? I know you guys had a very strict anti-piracy policy when this happen so I’m really curious till what happen.

    Hi.
    After buy VmBox service, I installed VestaCP (has a few bugs but works fine normally) and I’m very happy with this VPS. Congratulations.
    I have some webs. One of them uses some images that open on lightbox, miniatures are created on demand automatically. Another one is using WordPress as CMS web page. Both work quickly and smooth, and 5:15 backup on the morning (UTC time) from server to my local NAS are instant.
    I’m so happy.

      I had a difference experience.
      The order confirmation mail suggests this, but do a ‘ifconfig’ on your box and notice the two public IP’s.
      Also the control panel allows you to set reverse DNS for these two IP’s.

    Hi Steven,
    I just found this offer here today. I am a very happy customer that already has a VPS for over a year now, also from a LEB offer (https://lowendbox.com/blog/vmbox-co-5month-or-48year-2gb-ovz-in-us-or-nl-free-wildcard-ssl/).
    I just recently renewed my vps for a year, wondering if I could upgrade that plan to this one, with yearly payment?
    Thanks for the info!

    I have used a 2GB VM from vmbox for one year with no problems. They promptly supplied an additional IP when ordered. I have not needed them for anything else since no problems cropped up. I just ordered a 2nd VM from them on this 3GB plan.

    This provider is really kind of a joke. First they are not even reading what you write in ticket. Second the answers they give makes me go nuke their datacenter. You ask why you havent got the email they say you should have received it. No kidding! I am asking some assistance you idiot! Don’t ever come near this idiots. Just use letsencrypt.

      Hi Steven.
      Just bought the VPS yesterday. Offer still worked. Setup time was fast and everything is working great. Thanks for such a great offer.
      I was thinking about buying another VPS instance and I was wondering if my requirements are low, can you offer a customized plan?
      The first VPS instance I bought, I will use for hosting an Arch Linux ARM mirror, they use rsync to keep everything up to date. Is this an issue, as rsync and huge data transfer can sometime spike cpu usage?
      Can I run Open VPN? There isn’t any mention of it in your TOS, so I thought I’d better ask.

    I had some vps from VMBox in the past and had no problems at all. I moved from them to OVH but now I’m back again! OVH vps sucks!
    I’ve got 2 of these babes and both are working great. No downtime and no problems at all.
    The only “issue” is that you have to raise a ticket in order to get the second ip and each extra ip costs 2$.

    Thanks Steven!

    I have had a VPS at VMBox.co since the 1st of Feb. and i have since then had had my server shutdown around once every month for apprently no reason. lately it have been really bad with 1x 8 hours downtime and 1x 3 hours downtime… that apparently was because I was getting DDOSed. find that hard to believe considering they have in the past had their server getting ddos’ed and i feel like they are just blaming me, because i actually ask about it…

    and they fact that they for the 3 hours downtime could not even tell me why it was down worries me a lot! they even just closed the ticket after i directly showed them on the graph what time it was because there at that moment was no activity…

    Would not recommend…

    Adam:

    TLDR: strict administration + lack of service = unusable VPS
    Bottom line: Not recommended, stay away

    Long story:
    I’ve been using VMBOX.CO for more than two years. Service was somewhat OK.
    3 days ago by server was suspended without notice. I open a ticket which got reply more than 17 hours later! Asking me for my root password (???). As for now the problem is not resolved and the ticket is still open with them – more than 48 hours since I opened it!
    And no resolution nor any information what is going on from their side.
    The do not answer the phone, chat is offline, they almost do not respond to emails, and when they do – they are not helpful.
    If you wish to see the ticket content, and how NOT to provide support, see here: http://pasteboard.co/8TtLIbvYy.jpg

    I have nothing else to do but to warn others… (sorry Steven and Ben)
    VMBOX.CO NOT RECOMMENDED, STAY AWAY!

      Eventually after about three days of downtime they unsuspend my server. During that time I already restored my old backups to another server from another company.
      I wish they would have replied to tickets in a timely manner… 3 days is a very long time for service interruptions.

    I got a server and installed Ubuntu 16.04, but the kernel is 2.6.32. Running apt-get dist-upgrade does not help. Is it intentional that you keep the kernel to this particular version? Installing nginx and some other crucial packages do not work with this kernel.

    Babak:

    AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

    I am so glad that the kernel didn’t meet my requirements and I cancelled the service. These guys have one of the worst customer service ever!
    I created the VM, found out that the VM was not meeting my requirements and cancelled it in 2 days. Their policy says that they give you a refund if you cancel within 3 days. I didn’t receive a refund though. So, I created a ticket and asked them why I hadn’t received a refund. And here is their response:

    ———————–
    Refund has to be requested within 3 days and it was not requested.

    Best Regards,
    Ben D.
    VMBox.Co
    ———————–

    So, cancelling the service is not enough! You have to go and ask explicitly for a refund by creating a ticket! That’s absurd!
