CloudatCost Issues

Righto, well I guess not every service suites everyone
Re-imaging a VM is childs play. Really should not be an issue.
Both Digital Ocean and Vultr have free $5 trials. I think if you tried one of them, you would be amazed in the difference.

Free $5 trial? Sense this makes not. I'll have a look anyway
I'm not complaining, I got my server for free.
Admittedly, I haven't done much with it yet. -

And it's worth everything you paid for it. Nothing.

Anyone else having issues access their panel?

@Danp It's down.

Yep, it is down right now. I can still access my site/VM for now though.

Checking....

Both Digital Ocean and Vultr re-build VM's in less then 1 minute, without error everytime.
It's slightly annoying that it has rebuild issues. But it's a pretty trivial thing since it only impacts you when it doesn't matter - when the system is already offline. You just give it a few minutes and re-image again if it fails. I've had to do it several times and reported to them about it and it is something that they are looking into fixing. But of all things, it's immensely trivial.

How does "free" and "not free" go together like that?

Panel is down here too.

VMs are fine, just the panel is offline.

@scottalanmiller I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this.

Not sure what you mean. They give you a $5 account credit to try the service.

Keep in mind, the rebuild failure rather than I had on Digital Ocean was about the same as on CloudatCost. But on CloudatCost, it told me when it failed. On DO it did not. Took me days to get things resolved with DO and required getting support involved. With CloudatCost it costs me five minutes and I was able to just click the button again.
So that you are going with DO doesn't make sense to me based on this issue.

Ah, that makes more sense. We though they were charging you five dollars for a "free" trial.

First of all I spent all night last night trying to get my VM to reimage - much more then 5 minutes. As of this morning it still does not work.
I am sure there are sometimes issues with DO too, but I have never had any.

Were you waiting a long time for the imaging processes instead of restarting after fifteen minutes or so?

Panel is fine now. Haven't been watching, not sure how long ago it came back.

It was working fine for me at noon. Didn't try it before then.
