@VirMach my buffalo server since 2018 went down today had been very satisfied since so I certainly hope to get a replacement.
Its a bummer but oh well nothing mission critical since I have my backups.

Hivelocity's the one that acquired Incero right? I don't know why they didn't come to mind (HV) when I was thinking about Dallas. We can't do it right now but there's absolutely no way we can stay with Flexential at this state, WTF.
You've got dozens of options in Dallas. The "go-to" is Carrier-1 but there are many others, DallasColo is another example, or Stack.
Where you are now, the network reliability is crap. The whole connection goes down every week or two and takes out VirMach, DediPath, Nexril, etc. I literally do have better network reliability at my house.

Yeah, know anyone in Dallas with a rack in their house? They'd be more useful & have better uptime probably.
This is actually true.

My box in SJC-Z005 is back up now. It was migrated from LAX to SJC, not something I expected, but I'm quite happy with it because now I have some redundancy given that my other box with VirMach is in LAX as well. Plus I'm quite happy with having Internap bandwidth?

I have a question, @VirMach, do you even sleep? You work damn hard from what I've gathered so far in this thread, jesus.
I can't even begin to fathom the volume of tickets that you've probably gotten so far.
Nah virmach just pretends to be working, I am trying to find new ip to which my vps was migrated to still the services detail page does not open, i get timeout after waiting too long for it to open?
I have been unable to use that vps for more than a month still I see no resolution,

Huh?!
Then I guess when I last time checked there was other problems too - it did not load shit for me.
Tested now on FFME001 that is not working (timeout), but VPSes are working and it loads.

First of all thank you all for the kind words. I started writing this a while ago and didn't want to spend too much time finding the right words. I read it all and definitely had a productive day as a direct result of all the positive energy. There are those days where it's very easy to just want to go to sleep for a very long time and it was definitely headed toward one of those burn out and crash days but I was able to turn it around and get a lot done at a calmer pace.
So thanks again, you don't know how much it means and how far it goes.

It was definitely becoming concerning. Recently I unlocked some type of fight or flight response and didn't sleep for nearly a week but I was able to calm down to some degree more recently. It's still in maximum chunks of an hour or two. I had to force myself to sleep 3-4 times in a day a few days ago to try to get a full 8 hours and "reset" mentally.
You'd think it would just come naturally, it used to but something's definitely subconsciously fighting it. I'm sure once I feel the job has been completed I can finally rest.
I can't even begin to fathom the volume of tickets that you've probably gotten so far.
This is something we haven't addressed yet. I'm trying to think of every way we can bring it down to a meaningful level without just auto crediting and closing the tickets as it will of course upset a lot of people.
First, wanted to echo the sentiment of understanding, I know you've got to be WAY more stressed about the situation than I am. So, I'm happy to wait for a replacement server in another datacenter, and don't need access to the old data, I've got recent enough backups. I'd rather not end up with a refund / canceled server from all of this, should I just create a priority ticket and explain the same there or how are you wanting people to handle this? I'd like to make it the least work on you / your team, since I know you've got plenty of it already.
Sorry, meant to post this last night. It's pretty much exactly as I wrote it out last night:
Let me try to lay everything out a little neater here now that I've had some time to process it all.
What's going to happen whether or not we are contacted:
The existing "service" in WHMCS will be marked as ended in some way. Pro-rated refund will be processed, where possible. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll be forgotten, and you don't necessarily need to make a ticket to let us know you're interested in a replacement service.
You will be added to a "default" priority queue for a replacement service with an initial "free" duration. We may ask for further confirmation in some cases.
What's going to happen if we are contacted:
Higher priority queue for a replacement service, first come first serve.
You can communicate preferences, such as "ASAP" regardless of specifications, or let us know what location you want to wait for, and your minimum requirements (statistically speaking, the lower the requirements the more quickly we'll be able to accommodate you.)
What we'll also try to do:
Backup VPS matching your service's disk size, most likely for SSD services first.
You may request this in a ticket sooner if it's helpful.
Current available preferences:
Location: NYC Metro. No other location currently immediately available. Future Locations: San Jose, Los Angeles. Potential Other Locations: Dallas, Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Jacksonville.
Processors: E3. Mostly v2. Some may be substituted for Dual E5 as we run out.
RAM: 16GB, 32GB.
Disk Configurations: 2TB HDD, 240GB SSD, 1TB SSD, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, 500GB SSD Note: 2TB means 1x2TB or 2x1TB, and so on.
IPv4: /29 IPv4 Default.
Currently available are all: 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, NYC Metro, /29 IPv4 with CentOS6/7 installed. Some have IPMI, some do not. At least one or two have no OS but IPMI. One doesn't have a main IP but has IPMI, so there's definitely some issues that need to be ironed out on a few.
After clicking on my vps in this page nothing loads @tetech
wow thats alot of complaints for a $5 plan. since you hate virmach so much, cancel it and show them who's boss!!!
First of all value of 5 usd is really relative , and this thing is been down since one month now,
I don't know what your specific scenario has been to where it's down for a month, it's possible. This node has been regressing over the last few days but it definitely hasn't just been down for a solid month straight. I see that the more major problems started around July 26th with some stability August 1st, and going to its current nonresponsive state August 3rd. I was able to get it online but it's all over the place. It's technically up and running, pinging, and reporting back to all our monitoring but I can see that it's virtually unusable the last few days.
I apologize, I was supposed to go down to the datacenter with a replacement board for it several times. I tried to get the remote hands to work on it when I noticed I couldn't make it but that didn't work out.
I'm not going to share my pile of excuses for why it didn't happen, it just kept getting pushed into the next day. I'm genuinely looking into making the trip today.

All the best @VirMach
Was wondering if we should have a front page post separated from this thread so no "DEDPOOL" threads spring up?

That won't work if node is timing out :P

You mean nothing as in a Cloudflare 50x error, or blank page, or the billing panel with a "timeout 9001" error?

Try network reconfiguration.

Yes, SolusVM should still work fine
