Yes, I don't understand why you're asking such a question, and as a moderator you're perfectly capable of explaining it head on, rather than implying/accusing me that I think you're doing something nefarious. I never said anything like that.
Have the honor of being the crybaby who pays $20 for a 128MB VPS at VirMach in 2023.

You interjected yourself into a conversation I was having with someone who tagged me. You accused me of " never want to answer a question head on, they'll find something completely unrelated and pretend to answer it." when all I was looking to do was see if I had a comparable VM to transfer to @wuyicheng538. I think if you had a better comprehension of English you might get what is being said and maybe not lash out at people without reason.
I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

Okay, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry if I have offended you and I apologize for that.
I'd like to explain a little bit about this, without your later additions, I really don't see how your response and how it resolves the four month long offline of DALZ004 and DALZ007 is of any help, you simply specifically pointed out that wuyicheng538 had 16 reviews and further pursued the specs & price.
That's what I'm having trouble understanding, why you're not willing to be direct and give a clear response, instead of just telling half the story. That was the underlying reason I posted my response.
As for your reference to me inserting myself into your conversation, I made a point of not quoting your conversation, but I guess anyone should be able to voice their opinion in this thread, right? Especially since I am one of the users affected by DALZ004 and DALZ007 offline.
Again, I apologize, I was simply hoping for a clear and complete response, and I hope I have your forgiveness.
@tulipyun as you said you have a right to speak here as much as anyone, so there is nothing to forgive. I took no offense, I just though you were off base, but we are cool as far as I am concerned.
Regarding your request for direct answers, I think that you are under a misconception that I can some how answer for VirMach, or fix servers that are broken. I do not, and never have, worked for VirMach. So I have a hard time understanding why you expect me to be able to fix DALZ004 and DALZ007, or answer questions concerning the issue.
I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

Although you have only made 16 comments here at LES all regarding DALZ004 and DALZ007, I would like to thank you for your restraint by spacing them out over time. Can I ask what is the specs and cost of the service that you have/had in Dallas ?
Thank you for your reply. My server price at DALZ is $5 per year, from the 2022 year-end flash sale. I am very grateful to VirMach for providing us with a cost-effective server. Even after being offline for three months, I did not submit any work orders. At that time, I was willing to believe that VirMach would solve the problem. But as you can see, VirMach didn't take the offline issue seriously, and even ignored our anxious wait. A few days ago, I renewed this offline server for another year. I believe many people will tell me that it is my trust that contributes to VirMach's bad attitude. I admit this point of view. Maybe I am still a little lucky, but This last bit of trust depends on VirMach's performance.
I didn't know that you were not an employee of VirMach, so please forgive me if I offend you.@FrankZ
I advise VirMach users who submit questions here not to disclose too much information that can identify your account. VirMach is known to retaliate, and based on my knowledge, at least three users who complained here had all their VPS services suspended.
VirMach may not address the issues you raise, but they are likely to take action against the person raising the concerns.

Yeah, FrankZ is just a client of Virmach like you and me.
What's the spec of the VPS though? Beside the price, how many cpu core, Ram, drive size?
That way we can offer you something close enough.
I'll let FrankZ take a stab at this first in case he has something close enough. If not, I'll give it a try.
Regarding DALZ04 and DALZ07, I have 3 VPS on those that have been offline for 4 months. At this stage, it's quite vexing. Can't understand what could take a data center or a host 4 months to stand up/send similar equipment somewhere else. We know you have ready servers at your office.
I also plan to renew all 3 servers when they come up for renewal in 3 days. A classic case of sunk cost fallacy.

now it makes sense it seems you won't ever do anything apart from posting here,
so tough luck, all the best.
I am actually canceling or have canceled multiple services at Virmach, but that doesn't conflict with my desire to restore a VPS that is in the middle of a service period.
Of course you're right, there's really nothing I can do about virmach's approach other than post it here.

I think it is like @cybertech said, where people had violated the ToS and then complained loudly. So the "retaliation" was more like drawing attention to their account which was then found to be in violation.

I also have a VPS on one of these nodes, and yeah once it drags on for 4 months it is quite annoying. Whatever the initial logic about wanting to recover people's data or not process cases individually, the time for that has well and truly passed. It is time to "fish or cut bait" on these nodes, i.e. there needs to be some resolution whether that is recreating blank VPS'es in bulk, cancelling them in bulk, allowing everyone to submit a move ticket, or something. Stringing people on for 4+ months with no resolution and tying the outcome to specific hardware is basically the worst way of handling it in my view.
That said, I'll also renew mine, because I have an account balance which wouldn't be refunded if @VirMach did disappear, so nothing for me to lose. My "best result" would be that the service is restored "soon" and the expiration extended by (at least) 4 months. My "worst result" would be that after I renew @VirMach disappears and the entire amount (including renewal) is written off. For me, it was a fairly cheap special and the financial hit is not much more than a few cups of coffee, so I'll take the risk. However, I understand that for some people affected the cost is much more significant (relative to their income) and if I were in their shoes I'd probably be more anxious too.

because they broke the ToS innit
You might have reversed causality. The three examples I mentioned had their accounts and VPS functioning normally before they raised questions here. However, after raising the questions, their accounts violated the terms of service. It's quite a coincidence.

In that case, your advice to VirMach users should be to ensure they do not disclose information that could identify their account if they have violated the Terms of Service. I am sure VirMach knows who I am, but I have no concern.

It's like a situation where a wanted criminal voluntarily goes to a police station and gets arrested. Users violating ToS should not open tickets or post identifiable information on the forum.

I started this thread at the beginning of the year as a way to keep a line of communication open between members and VirMach and so members, including myself could try to assist other members. It appears that this attempt to be helpful, has failed. It also appears that VirMach has left the building. Maybe it's time for us to move on, and for this thread to be moved into the rants section where there would be less of a need for moderation. It might be best if in the future members used the VirMach ticket system for support instead of this thread.
