Experience
=========================

• I Never face any downtime or crash from day first to til now. 
  
  
• Never face any DDos Attack 
  
  
• Running very smoothly even not a managed VPS but i run it as a learner with the help of all forum experts. 
  

=========================
Conclusion
=========================
VPS 9, sponsored by Virmach, is a very powerful and valuable VPS, this VPS comes with no control panel, so if you don't want flood our poor @deanhills of support tickets you need to know how to use Unix-systems.
You can run almost everything on this VPS, just be a good user and respect Virmach ToS!

I want to end this review thanking:

• @Dynamo, as always, for creating Post4VPS community that allowed me to use this VPS;
  
  
• @deanhills, this time around I didn't open any support ticket but he is always there ready to reply;
  
• @HR & arsalahmed786 for supporting me always as a professional teacher; 
  
  
• Virmach for sponsoring this amazing VPS;

The code above tells us that you only have 4.8 GiB!! I took a quick look at the code and it's:

Code: (Select All)

# total disk size is calculated by adding all partitions of the types listed below (after the -t flags)
TOTAL_DISK=$(df -t simfs -t ext2 -t ext3 -t ext4 -t btrfs -t xfs -t vfat -t ntfs -t swap --total -h | grep total | awk '{ print $2 }')
echo -e "Disk       : $TOTAL_DISK"

So just to make sure of this, can you please post the output of these two commands run as root:

Code: (Select All)

lsblk

and

Code: (Select All)

df -Th

thanks!

Indeed, you effectively only have 5 GB (ie 4.8 GiB.)

..And you're only consuming 1.4 GB out of it!.. I'm wondering what kind of a project are using this VPS-9 for ?

Indeed, you didn't mention anything about your use case of VPS-9.

[Honey]

Woah the internet speed looks way better compared to the VPS 9 I used to own, other specifications look great as well!

I wanted to ask, how stable is the internet connection? Was it just above 1Gbps at the time of review or is it mostly that good?

@Honey : i never face any lack in speed, works very smoothly. but it happens after when my VPS shifted to KVM. before that speed is half of given and ping is too high.

@fChk : 

i have different kind of projects which i start and remove after completion. but you don't worry and be honest i am not breaking the rules of forum and sponsors. it's also surprising for me that VPS-9 has 100GB SSD mentioned and i got only 5GB. and i am unable to store my personal data on my vps or unable to make any FTP server or drive like Gdrive. i wish @deanhills or @Dynamo have better authentic answer for it.

The VPS is beastly and amazing looking at the SPECS like 8GB ram AND 100GB of SSD with 1GBps net. The speedtest result are way too good, You wrote in your review that you never faced DDOS Attacks, Are you talking about the DDOS Protection or something, or you never faced any attack yet?

if i said i never face any attack yet is much better then i talk anything else about DDos protection services by sponsors...

ah I see, when I had this VPS It was not on KVM and even though It still performed in an impressive manner I had ping issues, Normally what ping do you get on it?

[tryp4vps]

I remember after VPS 9 upgraded to KVM, disk space should have been allocated on case-by-case basis.

So it should explain why you got less than 100 GB disk space.

Still, 5 GB disk storage space is indeed too small. Hope you will get it fixed soon.
