Has VirMach ever been away this long and during a BF/CM on top of it? I hope he's ok.
VirmAche has been taken over by AI since two years ago.
There's no longer a "he".
The AI crashed due to chip shortage.
Machines will keep running, but according to HostCram the hardware only lasts three years, so that they will be dead soon.
If VirmAche does not resurface by Dec 10, we will cancel our remaining paid machine.
NVMe2G-for-life will not be canceled, but with its 80% monthly, it ain't useful.
It's quite normal for Virmach's SOON™ to be a tiny bit later and more unpredictable than 'normal' people.
But if he doesn't show up today to give at least a 'Hi' during CyberMonday, my slight concern might become a bit of a worry that something happened to him.

Wait wait what if this all was a ploy to clear nodes of unsustainable virbot deals that have been running unexpectedly for almost one year. His disappearance coincides with the time that virbot was shut down
If anything helps those that renewed despite the troubling signs... it's at least relieving that DC bills are still being paid?
You could be right!
This could all just be to have the die hards HODL and remain, and to let the 'difficult customers' go. :-D
(disclaimer: I still insist that buying crypto isn't "investing", it is gambling. Each to their own, but it frustrates me when people want to equate it to investment rather than speculative gambling. )
I have two services that auto renewed, another might do the same… have leas than 10 dolla credit. Rather than letting it go waste, might finally put these three idlers for some
Productive use.
As someone who has been using these ATL servers for corporate use (with backups) and only found out about VirMach's disappearance when I checked vps.blackfriday and this thread, RIP it was good while it lasted... easily the best deals I ever had. Sitting on the fence if I should renew...

One thing that has confused me a little bit has been their vpshared server is up, and seem to be totally usable except the name servers (ns1.vpshared, ns2.vpshared) no longer resolve and the IPs are... Well the IPs are probably used on Virmach's servers. Anyway, the crazy thing is the dedicated IPs are still dedicated, the server configuration itself makes it silly to try and use.

If by some miracle @Virmach fixes/moves/rebuilds my CHIZ035 VM id=720076 whilst I'm asleep, he's/they're more than welcome to rescind the cancellation and invoice accordingly. Not that I'm an optimist.

Nope, they are not really important data. But I don't have any problem like this before for like 6 years. Also I am still not sure if even reinstall the machine will work on it, since the everything I tried on the control panel tell me it failed. I just hope that it could be back before the renew day. Otherwise I need to consider something else.

Unless he has another a/c I don't think he will rescind your cancellation Last Active October 13

With @VirMach it has always been 'rinse and repeat'.
He has gone 'offline' before and comes back with great deals and many problems.
The way things are going, it appears that so many are cancelling so keeping the lights on will get harder.
I think the company is going into a downward spiral. Nodes will go offline and if the provider does not fix them they will stay offline. Contracts with providers will not be renewed and a whole locations will be gone.
Any client credit will be consumed on other nodes but the spiral will just continue.
Sorry for the negativity, I had some great deals but I am a realist and a company cannot (and should not) continue when run like this.
So I totally agree with @blissSo long and thanks for all the fish.

vps9hostname is available. affbrrWell, lets see this "refugee offer"? from Cloudcone xD (3vCPU/2GB/30GB) $16.99 Missouri[1]
https://hello.cloudcone.com/bf-mega-sale-2025/
If Virmach were still in business, it would offer a 3C/3G/30G/3T@3Gbps plan for just $3.33 per year.
It's quite normal for Virmach's SOON™ to be a tiny bit later and more unpredictable than 'normal' people.

i would at this juncture be mentally prepared the server bills could lapse.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

@JDMcPea How's going your production site? You still using them for production?

Just renew one more service to welcome @VirMach back

I have cancelled its service.

I've also cancelled two idlers
Many of those auto-extended almost a month ago so I am stuck with those...
One more to decide at the end of the month.
Most of those are working, but total silence is ehhhh, problematic.
