Your 'instant setup' took six hours Not naming names but u know who u are lol. Ordered a 2gb box during a "flash sale" at like 3am, panel said instant setup, went to bed, woke up, still pending. Six hours later I get the email. Zats not instant bro, zats "sometime today maybe" I get it, sales r crazy, but maybe dont promise what u cant deliver? My electricity costs for staying awake waiting were zero cuz I passed out but still, principle Anyone else get hit by this or was I just unlucky

Six hours is unfortunate but within acceptable variance for optimization purposes. My own recent provisioning during the same window completed in four hours, which I factored into my electricity costs calculation—idle hardware waiting for deployment is still drawing power. The optimization is in batching my setups to coincide with these sales, spreading the risk. Your experience suggests queue depth exceeded their projected capacity, which is data I'll incorporate.

That sucks. I was in the same sale. Got my GreenCloudVPS box in like 20 minutes tho, maybe you just had bad luck. The queue was wild from what I heard and a lot of people were refreshing like crazy. Six hours is rough for hosting that promises instant tho. Definitely feel you. Did you at least get a good IP or was it dirty too lol

Is same happen to me with the InterServer, is very frustrate. The "instant" is lie, how much cost my time ¿why not¡ They say is automate but the queue is manual, I know because the ticket good. The provider official come to forum and explain, is rare but is appreciate. The six hours is long but the server good after, is stable. I wait more for server good than instant server bad. But the promise is problem, yes.
