Sometime last night my VM died and was unreachable, I rebooted it via the cobalt panel, which took 3 Minutes until the vmware screen bios and then hangs indefinitely on Loading initial ramdisk...
Its not responding to "power down"  in the panel.
There is something seriously wrong with cobalthost.net


Edit: totally ignored the Power off command via the panel and is now fully booted after more than 12 minutes but barely usable, as in extremely slow.

Small example:

time apt-get install rsync

real 0m51.114s
user 0m10.156s
sys 0m5.880s



rsync is 390kB big, imagine doing something with 3MB.

Another one:

du -sh test 

501M test

dd if=test of=/dev/null
1024000+0 records in
1024000+0 records out
524288000 bytes (524 M copied, 300,109 s, 1,7 MB/s

another:
time ps aux
..
..
..
real 0m25.139s
user 0m6.960s
sys 0m13.332s

Woke up today, server is not responding, shutting down or rebooting via the panel does not work, seems dead.

Typical Cobalt. I actually BOUGHT one, but meh. I didn't pay for renewal but still damn. The one I bought lasted me 3 days before POOF.

Currently 100% packetloss to the server, console not working. Well, let's wait a day and see.

Are you still using vps 5 ?  If you are, how things working ? Still having problems or now it's working ?

No, it is unusable. Even when it's reachable it is too slow to do something and after a while the VM is unreachable anyways.

Ah that's sad. It worked pretty well for a while at begin. I hoped now it's working again like it used to. I wonder if the problem is servers or their this VM system.

They are overselling their 2 old servers they have. Also HDD as storage does not help if you oversell it that much. Whoever owns that "company" should be ashamed of himself, since he has no idea what he is doing or is clearly scamming people.
Also their uptime is horrible.

Horrible

Avoid cobalthost.

That looks like a solid vps, I'm also hoping to get one the only issue I had was of the speed and as you said It's not pretty reliable for speed so maybe I'll go for a different server, maybe one which is located in france. Thanks a bunch man, This truly helped me solve my problem! +1
