@FrankZ said: If VirMach had IPv6 in all locations I would not have so many other provider's VMs.
This. I seriously would have added multiple VMs across locations if only they had IPv6.
I now have one AMS VM WITH IPv6 and it is a great VM. No other location has IPv6 (so far) and I hope over the course of the next 2-3 months things change.
Seriously, this was a valid excuse when you were with a specific DC but now you're fully unshackled and you should have jumped on the IPv6 bandwagon (and customers like me would have jumped in line back again to grab some really nice deals with native IPv6).
Please please see if you can get this out of the door Soon™

Let it be known that the automated system is sometimes crazier than I am and it tried doing this exact deal with like 12GB memory and I was the one that reduced it. But I did add some IP addresses and disk to make up for it and reduced the quantities as well. I think one or two more updates and it'll be able to basically churn out better deals than I would in some cases without going overboard and causing provisioning problems. If it did move forward with that one and I didn't catch it I'd definitely have to go in and provision a few of them manually on other servers.

I'm not sure if i replied to your reply to my reply earlier. You asked why other providers are able to do it and we aren't when they're also using SolusVM, or something like that.
It's because they haven't had to deal with everything we have dealt with over the past two years. I'm being extra careful. If we had to completely move everyone between servers and/or providers, I would not feel comfortable with all the extra manual work required per individual virtual server to also change the IPv6 addresses and the IPv6 subnets. So we're waiting on a custom built automated system for that (and perhaps other providers you mentioned already have done this, but it's a little more complicated with no API.)
@FrankZ said: Tokyo ? Chicago ? San Jose was good, but I'll guess I'll just need to wait and see.
Tokyo technically has a good amount of free IP addresses, basically over half of Tokyo naturally expired and we didn't do any sales there for a while but I've already explained that in much greater detail in the past (either in a big wall of text that I did or didn't post.) But it would be Tokyo so the pricing would be Tokyo-esque.
Chicago and San Jose not very much, but they'll be getting more later.
Amsterdam is the best candidate for a lot of IPs right now and then a few specific servers pretty much everywhere except Chicago. We already did the only one in San Jose but maybe I'll find another, but my boss... don't listen to anything I'm saying right now by the way my brain is still not firing on all cylinders. I just recently figured out it's Saturday.

Not a big issue, water under the bridge. Better to finish waking up, have a coffee, and see what happens. It's always better when VirBot surprises us anyway. Also wanted to thank you for the fun BF.
Not sure how many others the system will spit out. I'll probably do a deeper dive on Tokyo since we do need to re-fill that location, but more strategically, at some point, to try to save the location. I think I've only done one specific really really good deal in Tokyo. I don't think you were around, that one was:
Completely unrelated to anything, and perhaps you guys have alraeedy noticed, my keyboard is breaking again and I don't immediately have extra switches in front of mee, so I'm actually writing this message without correcting any of the errors it usually makes. It seems to be with the "e" key, sometimes it does it a little late, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it won't type it and sometimees it'll type it more than once.
I let it slip a few times in my comments and ticket replies so I do apologize. It might end up changing "one" to "on" and cause some confusion in specific cases.

I forgot to check the AUP service before. Can I apply to buy again? I haven't seen the CPU allowance increase to normal limits before.
Are we still talking about storage servers?
Which storage server. I'm talking about new services
Seems like you quoted one of my random comments about storage and then said something unrelated so I got confused. Okay so you're asking if you can buy the AUP addon after original purchase.
We didn't have an official policy on this, I need others to chime in on what they think about this, should we enable purchasing any specific addon options after the original purchase? Why or why not?

In other news, I ran out of my favorite coffee and keep forgetting to reorder it so I'm stuck with normal coffee instead of my 600MG per cup coffee (I've never actually tested it and not sure if I want to get into the fringe hobby of testing caffeine content, but I technically usually have two big shots or 1200MG at a time, not sure why that's even legal.) Now I'm at a measly 120MG, 160MG or so. My heart is probably thanking me for the unexpected switch though.
I'd like to thank you guys for the fun as well, I really really enjoyed doing the database updates with all the animations working perfectly. Made me feel like I was hacking into the mainframe in some 1980's cyberpunk movie and it'd be a lot less fun if there were no participants.

Personally, I hope that there will be an opportunity to purchase a premium option a few days after the initial purchase.

You may have have to up your intake to maintain your bodies desire for caffeine or it may retaliate. When you drastically lower your caffeine intake it can cause headaches and cause irritability. Just saying.

Can you please confirm Phoenix will be short-lived and moved to the West Coast?
I cannot confirm or deny these allegations, yet. I'll speak more openly about it all after the customers have been moved, if that happens. Maybe. Dubiously. If this was helpful please rate my response 5 stars and complete the survey.

It's okay the nicotine gets rid of the headaches and irritability. But the Amazonian monkey frog extract brings some of it back and balances it all out (this is a joke please don't do Amazonian giant waxy monkey frog skin toxins, I don't actually know what it does.)
@VirMach said: I need others to chime in on what they think about this, should we enable purchasing any specific addon options after the original purchase? Why or why not?
Yes. Off the top of my head reasons why it is good and bad.
Some potential pluses are:
1. Higher revenue from people purchasing the add ons.
2. Maybe slightly less abuse and tickets
3. Better customer satisfaction. [Personally I would not mind buying some price increase protection.]
Some potential negatives are:
1. Higher utilization of resources.
2. Some revenue loss if you are forced by inflation to raise prices in the future.
3. Less customer satisfaction because people don't think they should have to pay extra for these things.
I'd say it is a toss up on if allowing purchase is a good idea.
Oops!
Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request.
..2 mins. later and it's back! Phew!
And gone again but for 5 seconds that time. I'm trying to do some fun additional randomizations but I probably need to spend a little longer after my brain reset (sleep) to make sure I'm doing it in the right spot.

The time for payment is too short. I have made payment successfully but the invoice is cancelled. Why not 10 minutes?
It's ok, see it as a good practice run, so that you can be faster next time!
Time is all relative, afterall
hint: it is also very helpful to add store credit, then you don't have to worry about card/payment details and it goes a lot faster then
I'm going to be addressing these things more closely today, related to the timed out orders. Probably check back in a few hours.
Anyway, I have opened a ticket.
As you know, sometimes you will meet with payment issues unexpectedly. Adding store credit is a good idea.
Some Flash Bundle with code tenperaSLEEP50
I don't remember what he wanted but if you see one he'd like let me know and I'll maybe add the coupon.
We need to wait he is awake first xD cc @tenpera
Do we though? It's funnier when he's asleep.
It would be funnier while he's here, because I have a feeling he'd still somehow miss it.
Add the coupon
