    How much time it took to create your VPS Account?

    Hi friends...

    To enhance knowledge and to create a ready-reference to the fellow members and visitors of WHT about how much time your VPS provider took to create your account, please post your VPS provider's name and the time it took to create your account after ordering.

    The posts may be contradictory to each other -- like one may post 1 hour whereas someone else may put 10 minutes for the same provider. It's about sharing your experience only. The readers may judge on averaging exeriences.

    As I'm generating this topic, I won't put my experiences, as it may look biased to some.

    I have also put a Poll about your expectation, in how much time you expect your VPS to be up and running.

    Warm regards...

    Less than 3 minutes as well with vpslink. Submit my credit card info, and pretty much instantly the login instruction is in the email.

    Whereas my unixshell xen-based VPS took around 6-12 hours to setup.

    First VPS with EuroVPS, one hour.
    After that, nearly instant.

    LiquidWeb: inside a day, if I recall correctly. That includes uploading and going "live".

    Since you don't have an option for "whatever" (meaning, I don't care) I chose > 12 hours.

    Should really be no more then 1-3 hours anywhere. Otherwise they are doing something wrong.

    What's the point in that?? If you don't care, then why didn't you just not vote!

    Because "doesn't matter" (or "whatever", or "don't care") is a valid option, and setup time really is irrelevant to me.

    If you look at the OP's first post, he's asking two things: to post in the thread how long it took to set up your VPS, and to take a poll about what you're expectations are regarding setup time. Two different things.

    The poll is not about how long it took you to get st up, but since I didn't answer that in my first post I'll do so now: 8 hours.
