Hey,
I visited lowendbox on wednesday and found some good VPS deals. I was looking for cheap VPSes to send bulk mail and do some click tracking.
I thought that lowendbox usually suggested good companies so, I purchased a cheap 512MB OpenVZ vps and a 512MB Xen one from 2 different providers. I know, I shouldn't have rushed into this! Guess what! The VPSes suck big time!
The openvz one is damn slow, I get connections like 40KB/s max and I can't even get Mysql to start. These fuckers are really overselling this like crazy!
The Xen one is totally broken. It has a SolusVM control panel and tons of templates. With some OSes I can't even login via ssh
. After finally getting a working template, I type free -m into terminal and I find that only 250MB of RAM is free! WTF!? Where are the other 262MB? I typed ps aux to check which processes are running and guess what, nothing unusual is runnung! Fuckers probably created custom kernel for overselling memory as shown in this:
I sent multiple tickets to both providers. They did reply but they put me on hold for 3 days (until today)! I even called their phone numbers but I couldn't get anyone! :callyou: Weird...
I already opened tickets and asked for refund but they haven't replied yet...
Now all I want is to get my money back so that I can buy from better providers! I paid with Paypal and I thought that I could file a dispute to get a refund but I don't know if this is gonna work because I already came across this situation with BurstNET a while ago and I lost the dispute.
So, any suggestions? Any guaranteed way to get my money back?
Thanks,
Josh
