While we don't have SSD, all of our Nodes have minimum 4x SAS 15k RPM drives in h/w RAID10(with BBU) which is extremely fast and reliable. Our clients don't have issues with running I/O intensive stuff on this setup.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, much appreciated :)
 
Both of my web servers hosted by KnownSRV went offline at 7:03 PM EST, its now 7:36PM EST and they're still 100% down (its not just me).

Unplanned downtimes like this are inexcusable.

Also I'm not interested in listening to another hosting provider lie about being dDoS'd, I'm not a fool and that lie doesn't work with me.

Just got home after being out for several hours doing some holiday shopping to find my site is down once again.

I'm able to ping it but when I try to SSH it doesn't complete a connection which I've only seen before when a host sells too many VPS for a server which results in network link and/or disk I/O to reach 100% saturation.

Who knows how long my site has been down for this time, but either way for shit like this to happen twice inside of two weeks isn't acceptable. If your data center comes back with another DoS lie then my suggestion is for you to find a new data-center.

I operate two dedicated servers hosted from BalticServers (represented on this forum as well) specifically for seeding private BitTorrents and I haven't had a single issue like this in six months now, so you might want to look into using them as their prices are good and their servers aren't improperly setup/configured/monitored like the ones you are leasing... :\

After about 20 minutes the SSH connection established and I was able to quickly pinpoint that the VM's disk I/O is 100% saturated. This VM is running a standard LAMP stack so I'm trying to stop those services but I'm 99.999% sure that its something going on with the host server that is causing my VM to report 100% disk I/O usage b/c LAMP stacks don't use 100% of a VM's disk I/O all on their own....

OK, 100% sure now its the host server. After stopping apache2, mysql, & varnish I was able to install iotop on my VPS and I'm reporting all processes are using 0% disk I/O.

I'm going to try and find a new hosting provider so that I can RSync my data off this POS and have my server hosted from a reliable host.

Hello,

Plain and simple, please open a support ticket if you need help.

Quick tl;dr answers:
- Your VPS is the ONLY on this Node besides internal backup VPS which does NOT run at 7am which is time you posted here.
- If you stopped your services and I/O went to normal then, there is something wrong with one of your services(likely misconfigured Varnish or your VPS swapping?). There is no way we can know without your support ticket and login details.
- It's almost 2014 and DDoS happens cheaper and easier than ever, unfortunately. We deal and filter it on weekly basis. Our upstream did a great in this case given the attack size(150Gbit).
- Our hardware Nodes are monitored by both Pingdom and Observium. The datacenter doesn't monitor our servers, they provide space, bandwidth and power.

To conclude, there was absolutely *NO* issues on our end at this time. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. I'm sure your I/O issue can be sorted out easily if you ask our support for help. They are always pleased to assist.

WJ isn't our support channel and our staff isn't registered here. You know where our helpdesk is, so please use it instead :)

Thanks
Kind Regards
Kruno

The XenForo Proplem still exists? I had a Webspace + VPS some time ago with you, and i installed XenForo, but it took a long time (30 Minutes) until I had it installed. Normal is 3-4 Minutes. It always stucked at Creating Phrases. And then, when i tied to install or remove a Addon/Mod, it tooks me again a long time, sometimes it doesn`t work either.

So, is this Proplem with XenForo fixed, or not? Or could you give me Demo Account for 30 Minutes for testing?

I really dont know what you have done, but the XenForo Bug is fixed. I only have the VPS-v0 with 256 + 256 Ram, but thats enough for me. To Support you, i will open a Ticket now. And i will pay my VPS for the whole Year in advance.

KnownSRV = best "Scene Provider"! :O)
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words. It is much appreciated.

So far, the problem in supporting the slow :facepalm:

Just say ........There is no issues on our end.:wacko:

That is correct. There is no issues on our end at this time.

Support isn't slow, you just happened to submit a LOW priority ticket at 2AM CET.
 
My VPS and that runs my primary webserver has been down for 2 hours now.

Disk I/O was pegged at 100% for no apparent reason. I stopped the webserver processes and it was still pegged. I rebooted the server and I'm no longer able to SSH into it because it times out. I am however able to ping it.

I think the VPSs being are being oversold on this host, that's the only reason I've ever had this trouble with other VPS hosting companies in my experience.

Last week I moved one of my webservers off this host to a more reliable hosting provider, I'm just waiting for them to get some more IP addresses before I can move this last webserver elsewhere, I really wish they'd hurry up or even better if this host were to get their act together :\
 
For the third time, open a support ticket if you have issues. I do not plan to discuss this publicly with you any further.

This is a KVM VPS with 12x 2TB SATA2 drives in h/w RAID10. Your VPS uses the most resources on the Node, other VPS are backups and they idle 99% of time. The issue with your VPS are spoofed syn floods towards your IP address which we are mitigating for you.
