Volumedrive do they still exist ?
I know about Volumedrive (the story) and I thought I would try something not important for dev purposes.
They provided the server even though no communication on their end at all ...but yes they provided wrong OS.
I am trying to contact them for 2-3 days now with no luck.
So I am guessing they have become more crap than they used to be.
Any attempt to contact support probably goes to >dev/nullYour Hosting Partner of Choice

Why would you go with them if you already know the story?

You'll be posting in a long line of ****** reviews. You went in as an educated customer so you can't be surprised by what you've received from them.
We recently ordered one of their (well, via their quad brand) dual proc servers at a ridiculously cheap price. We knew going in to it that it would likely be a cluster and we'd just hope we'd never need support. It took a while to get provisioned and had some configuration issues out of the box (sound familiar?) but again, we knew the risk going in to it.
Hope you get things sorted out.

Just called again and left a message. I am trying to find a decent DC for some US hosting purposes as I am only in Europe as of now. That Xeon Box should benchmark a little under 11k, but I can barely get over 1000.
This is what I had in my ticket
Code:System Benchmarks Index Score 1110.1 I would expect scores close to http://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+X5650+%40+2.67GHz&id=1304&cpuCount=2 if not more considering the machine is in RAID 10 w/SSDs. (No, it wasn't syncing)
Or at least answer the phone and lie to me. Do something.
Edit: Oh, and I was prepping the box for a Cpanel install, doing all the yum groupremove "package" stuff. Got everything cleaned up, did a yum update, and it updated the kernel. Did a reboot to finalize everything, and the box hasn't been up since the reboot. Maybe for that price you're not suppose to turn them off?Last edited by highavailability-io; 11-18-2014 at 10:25 PM.

Yeah, I am hoping I can get my money back. I'm hoping they don't make up some excuse to keep it. If you are going to sell me a 24 core on a gigabit connection then at least sell me a box that benches that much, and a connection that somewhat comes close. OpenVZ nodes can out perform that 24 core, lol.

Come on.
You bought what YOU bought.
You knew the EXACT specs before sending the money.
Don't complain because of your mistake.
Also, please explain how some cheap OpenVZ VPS can some how be better than a PHYSICAL Dual Xeon X5650, 42GB RAM, 1TB SATA3 7.2K RPM.
And are you saying that your machine isn't hitting 1Gbps? If you are, then this is a troll thread. Expecting a $47/month server to give you unfettered 1Gbps capacity?
Does.Not.Compute.
Even I've got 2 machines at quadix because they are so ridiculously cheap.
Yes, BOTH separate times I had issues with just getting the machines provisioned as per the order form - but I already knew what to expect in terms of the actual service quality.
The hard drives ALL test out to be normal performance for SATA3, the network is fast, etc.Last edited by ItsChrisG; 11-19-2014 at 12:31 AM.

Yeah, it's not a mistake. Actually you get to choose the specs when you purchase it through them, that's the cool part, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm not sure why some people have attitude problems. If I don't get my money back, then I don't get it back. But when you pay for something, you rightfully, should get at least "close" to what you pay for. That's how we do things around here.
There ya have it. Both tickets, one dealing with DRAC not working out of the box, "no route to host," and one ticket, dealing with benchmarking and port speed issues are both open, after about 6 hours. Granted the benchmark was most likely done incorrectly, the box is still out of commission, I have no DRAC, the tech on the phone when I originally called said someone is always here. I believed him.
Sorry if this sounds like a hate thread, but I paid these guys a lot of money for this box, in hopes of getting what I paid for, that's all. I can deal with a 200Mb connection, but if you tell me Gigabit, I'm going to believe you. I'm assuming people are honest I guess if you get them one on one on the phone.█ highavailability.io ████████████████████████████████ ███ ██ █ █

Urban legend has it, that no one talks about such companies.
Those that do...disappears
Their files disappears and Support disappears

We specifically built this machine just last night for benchmark purposes due to the impressive specs and saw over 500 M/s on a I/O test with your dual 250GB SSD drives in hardware raid 10 and yes.. you should certainly be seeing over 11000+ on the CPu benchmark score. These are physically dedicated X5650 CPUs. Please make sure HT is enabled.
Also you have full remote DRAC access to troubleshoot the server via remote console if you did not see it return after a reboot.
Please supply your ticket number and we'll make sure any post setup issues you have are worked out and quickly addressed.0
