Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Figured I would hopefully save others from the annoyances I've had with their service. I experienced daily high packet loss to both my VPS and their website, including the control panel (greater than 50%, typically). The control panel was broken and couldn't tell me the status of my VPS. When I asked for a root cause and fix for the packet loss issue the "senior admin" response to both of these issues is "It's intermittent and under control". It's still happening daily, so not really under control. They never even addressed the control panel issue.

I decided it was best to just give up on it, and requested a refund a few days ago after experiencing the same issue every day for 3 days after my purchase. I'm still waiting for a response to that request, 4 days later.

Avoid Virpus like the plague.

They've actually been around a long time, I used them 10ish years ago and never really had any trouble. Wanted to do some testing with some stuff and saw they had a pretty decent deal for what I was looking for. Their page was working fine at the time, so didn't think twice. Lesson learned!
