Here is my experience with VPSLink:
I ordered a Link-2 plan VPS, which has 128M ram, 5G disk.
I try to compile apache & mysql in this server, but the system told me meromy is not enough.I was suprised because I had compiled successful in others vps with the same config. At last,I found out the reason is that VPSlink dont’ have burstable memory, and COMPLETELY DISABLE SWAP space in their server.
So I asked them why, after a long while, they reply:
“There is no SWAP partition in a virtualized environment. You won’t be able to use swapon to compile your software. You pay what you gain”. So I have to use apt-get to install LAMP, but is very very slow.
Last month, VPSLink has announced a new Xen plan with swap space support, and the price is the same as what I am useing now(OpenVZ). So I ask them if they can transfer my server to Xen, I will restore the data myself.
They say: “The only way you can switch to Xen is to order a new Xen plan. and you can transfer data manually by yourself. Once your new VPS is set up, you can request the credit to be transferred to your xen account we will transfer it and shut down the server immediately.”
and They told me my money wont’ be pay back.
I know VPSLink is cheap, but there server is useless.
