OK. Paid since 55 minutes ago and waiting for the vps info. I thought the setup are instant or quick as said in the Customer's Testimonials.

We have no pending orders at this moment in time so I can only assume that you have been setup Drakul

Are your sure you gave me 100Mbit dedicated ? I tried to download "Windows sp3" from microsoft and the average download is only 320 K/s, eta more than 15 minutes. Even my 3.5Mbps internet connection are faster than this.

The command I used :

wget http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...P3-x86-ENU.exe

Most certainly, please create a ticket in your client area if you are having issues. This thread is for sales not support, I really do mean that in the nicest way possible.

My (small) BoxSlots.com review:

What i've ordered:

Virtual Servers (1Gbit/s - NL) - NL-50
Intel Xeon E3-1240 (4x 3.30 GHz)
512 MB Dedicated RAM
768 MB Burstable RAM
50 GB Disk Space
1 Gbit/s Shared Connection
Unlimited Bandwidth
Free Dedicated IP address
SolusVM Control Panel

What i've got:

Virtual Servers (1Gbit/s - NL) - NL-50
Intel Xeon X3460 (1x 2.80 GHz)
512 MB Dedicated RAM
768 MB Burstable RAM
50 GB Disk Space
1 Gbit/s Shared Connection
Unlimited Bandwidth
Free Dedicated IP address
SolusVM Control Panel

I think the "4x" is an typing error but i also got an slower cpu (X3460 instead of E3-1240). --> not good.

Support:

Activiation: 3 Hours 18 Minutes (Payment -> VPS details)
Support: 14 Minutes (rDNS change)
-> really nice

Network Connection:

NL (BoxSlots) <--> NL (Debian FTP)
wget: 7,2mb/s (1 Thread)
aria2: 37,9mb/s (10 Threads)
-> for shared connection quiet nice

quiet good

However, I must say i find it pity that der are no "minimal" os images (like debian 6 squeeze minimal),
so you have to clean your Linux VPS first.. Otherwise I can recommend boxslots vps.

Hi guys.

I'm trying to purchase your NL-E750 package but it won't add to my cart and therefore I can't checkout

I've tried opening a ticket but there's an error with the captcha image:




Thanks


EDIT: could I host my vBulletin forum on the server?

[Kw3rLn]

Can i make some websites on the vps? and i also want to install RL? can you please explain these to me.

Kind regards

[nano.]

Mobius1

I have disabled the capcha image for now until we get it fixed up, please contact us via ticket again or the live support link on our website. Yes you may run a vBulletin forum

Kw3rLn

Hosting both websites & RL is not a problem, please let me know if you have any more questions!
