I wanted to share my experience with PureVoltage because my experience was actually good at first, but things went downhill after a few months. I bought their 16GB Bolt Deal of the Month (NYC) VPS on November 5, 2025 after seeing the offer on LEB. I initially tested it for one month and liked it enough to purchase the VPS for a full year. Invoice: #2025-11-28-38678 I had an IOPS question shortly after ordering (Ticket #198577). Support basically said the IOPS speeds weren’t an issue from their side and offered a refund if I wasn’t satisfied. Since the VPS was otherwise working well, I didn’t pursue it further. At that point, I was actually happy with the service. Then things changed On March 30, 2026, I ordered another VPS with the same configuration. I couldn’t pay through PayPal because of an agreement error, so I opened a ticket asking about it. Ticket #551465 The response was: “Unfortunately, we are unable to approve further orders for your account.” Okay, that’s their decision. If they don’t want additional orders from me, that’s fine. But then my account was closed without a clear explanation. I opened Ticket #913031 asking why. After about a day, the account was reactivated. Then I noticed that my existing VPS had been cancelled, even though I never requested cancellation. Again, I decided to move on. The real problem: Support I later needed a root password reset for the remaining VPS. Ticket #603867 They sent me a password, but it didn’t work. I opened multiple tickets about the same issue. In total, I ended up creating around 5 tickets just for the password/console problem, and tickets were repeatedly closed without the issue actually being resolved. Eventually, I managed to reset the password myself through the control panel. Then I ran into another problem: the Proxmox console wasn’t working. I tried: Different PC Different Internet connection VPN Different browser/environment Still nothing. I opened Ticket #948142 asking for help. Instead of further troubleshooting, I received this response: “We’ve answered this for you in a previous tickets several times. Please note that abusing support may result in termination of your account.” That’s where I basically gave up. They had previously told me the console was working on their end, but it still didn’t work for me. I couldn’t get any further troubleshooting from support, and the VPS is still running without a working console. Overall The funny thing is that I actually liked the VPS itself. The performance was good enough that I upgraded from monthly to yearly and later ordered another VPS. My issue is primarily with support and ticket handling. For one VPS, I ended up opening around 19 tickets, with roughly 10 related to password and Proxmox console issues. I’m not saying PureVoltage is a bad VPS provider. My initial experience was actually positive. I’m sharing this because my experience changed significantly later, and I think it’s useful for people considering them to know how my support issues were handled. Technical problems happen. What matters is how the provider handles them when they do. In my case, I felt that too many tickets were simply closed instead of the underlying problem being investigated. VPS performance: Good in my experience. Support experience: Very disappointing. submitted by /u/CartoonistPublic575 [link] [comments]

​ Hi all, I’m a founder in Spain building a managed PostgreSQL service and want honest feedback on pricing before opening it up. I run a €30M ARR business in a different industry. We had to use a managed database from a big provider, which was very expensive for the performance we were actually getting, but we needed HA so we were stuck. That’s when I started considering another startup. Here’s the general idea: You create a database from a web dashboard and get a single connection string. That string always points to the current primary, so if a failover happens your app reconnects to the same address and carries on. There’s nothing to change on your side. Behind it, each HA database runs as a primary plus a synchronous standby on two separate servers in different zones. Backups run continuously: every change is archived to object storage with a different provider, so even losing the whole hosting provider doesn’t lose your data. You can restore to any point in the last 7 days. We handle monitoring, failover and maintenance; you just use Postgres. It runs on European bare metal rather than shared cloud VMs, which is how we keep prices flat with no egress or IOPS fees. Highly available (per month, excl. VAT): \\- Starter, €39: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB storage \\- Standard, €89: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB storage \\- Pro, €169: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage \\- Business, €329: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB storage Free: one per account. Single node, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB storage. To be upfront: this is a beta with no SLA yet. Failover runs 24/7, and human support is 09:00 to 18:00 CET on business days. If the standby is down, the primary keeps accepting writes asynchronously, so losing the primary during that window can lose the latest commits. \*\*I’d love to know:\*\* \\- Which plan would you pick for a real project, if any? \\- At what price would this feel too cheap to trust, and at – what price too expensive? \\- What would you need to see before moving a production database? \\- What are you using now, and what does it cost? \*\*Early beta offer\*\*: anyone who participates in this thread will have 30% off any plan when we launch! submitted by /u/eu_pg [link] [comments]

So I kinda make web and profile decor like little pixel icons and stuff, and I’ve been keeping them in Rentry (cuz idk where else, lol) but I experienced some trouble with the image hosting websites I use. All the sites I’m aware of are postimg, imgur, catbox and 8upload. The problem with postimg is that all the pictures I uploaded dissapeared and it’s not the first time it happened (I have an account, in case that’s relevant somehow). For imgur, no matter the link I grab the pic just doesn’t show up (I might be doing it wrong) and I don’t know for how long the images are hosted. For catbox I have to reload rentry until the pic shows up (only happens in rentry). And 8upload kinda modified one of my gifs so I’m a little wary. I tried viewing the page on my phone and my sister’s laptop, tried reuploading the images to these websites multiple times but nothing worked, sadly. I need to know if there’s a way to host images for a very long period of time (forever, if possible) and I kinda need it to be free cuz idk how any of that paying thing works. Sorry if this sounds strange, english is not my first language. I’m also what I’ve seen people call “tech illiterate” so bear with me… submitted by /u/ClarkBFDI [link] [comments]
