Just a quick question: does VirMach.com offer any DDOS protection for VPS services?
We do not offer any actual DDoS protection, but we do offer protection to where it should not be an issue. Most attacks will be cut off immediately after they happen. I believe we've had two network problems since offering Minecraft hosting and both of them were resolved fairly quickly. As for VPS services specifically, the answer is the same.
Keep in mind though, that we have dedicated 1Gbps ports on each dedicated server, so an attack that could effectively bring down the server is very hard to do. And most of the time when a host offers "DDoS protection" they mean what we already do with software, or they have a very limited amount of protection that won't really help in the event of a large attack. If you do have a VPS with us, though, we can also install all this security software directly on your VPS to further protect you.
By the way, quick announcement:
We're going to expand our services to even more servers. We're also going to restructure our plans, and offer a permanently free plan for light usage, as well as dedicated IP's for the 'feather' plan, or whatever that ends up being. We don't plan on raising our prices
Dear VirMach,
I know your hosting is cheap, but I want to know how quality it really is. Because of regrets on a possible server host that has a website down, I need a backup. your hosting is now my top priority to see if yours would be magnificent and worry free of a scam. So I am asking you to answer these questions to possibly change my choice for a hosting company:
-Is this 24/7 hosting (To be sure)
-Is there EASY FTB access like one-click installation for plugins
-Is it possible to have BungeeCord installed without me having the hassle to do what I am not the best at
-I am assuming the options for the other host would be the same for BungeeCord as this one
-Feel free to include any other useful information and if so, I would be interested in buying the iron package around Christma, I am also in need to be aware if the dedicated IPs are true
I truly apologize if I am asking you as if you as if you will scam me, but I will promise to take your word
Regards, BigCherryBomb
-Is this 24/7 hosting (To be sure)Yes. Our uptime is 99.9% and we've had about three or four downtimes of a few hours in several months, which is within the 99.9% uptime guarantee.
-Is there EASY FTB access like one-click installation for pluginsWe're currently reworking our plans and trying to make it easier. Right now we have one-click installs for Bukkit through BukGet, but that's it. Otherwise you have easy FTP access and can upload your plugins.
-Is it possible to have BungeeCord installed without me having the hassle to do what I am not the best atWe can assist you with BungeeCord. However make a ticket with us first because BungeeCord isn't meant to run on Multicraft *although possible* so it'll be better on a standalone VPS. Cost will be the same.
-I am assuming the options for the other host would be the same for BungeeCord as this oneCould you clarify?
-Feel free to include any other useful information and if so, I would be interested in buying the iron package around Christma, I am also in need to be aware if the dedicated IPs are true Yes, all of our plans except feather (going to be discontinued today) will have a dedicated IP. Check back today or tomorrow for our new plans.
Answered your questions within your own quote, in bold. We have full support throughout the week and partial support on Sundays, so if you create a ticket with us we can answer your questions much faster. Sorry for the two day wait on an answer!
Wait, so if I were to buy an AdvancedVPS would I get a free website and mumble? (Free website as in if you were to buy a website for a certain amount a month then I was going to buy my own from BuyCraft)m also then could I get BungeeCord?

The advanced VPS is a VPS so we can host anything you want, including a website, and mumble (or whatever else you want) on it for you. That also means you can host a BungeeCord server on it as well.
We don't currently actively use Skype for communication. Please make a ticket on our website or check out our live chat in the afternoon. I'll go ahead and add you on my personal Skype though if you have any questions.

Thank you! I will buy the server near after Christma, see you later?
One last question before I see you until Christma, what does the "free" website include, I want to be sure cause otherwise I was just going to buy a BuyCraft Premium package

Plans come standard with our budget shared webhosting plan. However, since you're doing the advanced plan, we would set up a webserver with a panel such as Zpanel for you. We could still offer you the budget shared webhosting, which would be cPanel with 1GB disk, 1GB bandwidth, 1 FTP account, 5 Email accounts, 1 MySQL database. We would of course increase this for you if your website is more popular than that, for free. A domain is not included but you can use your own or register one free at dot.tk
We also help you set it up if you're not experienced. We can do a Wordpress install, install a free theme of your choosing and help you customize the website.

I have a question about the jars that are allowed in the free plan. Is it purely just Vanilla? Are Bukkit & Spigot considered custom? Just asking this because I want to know if I'm allowed to run any plugins. Thanks!

We do have Bukkit and Spigot as selectable options.
Glad to hear =)

You still have access to everything so you can do it yourself. We would just help if it's requested
We do have Bukkit and Spigot as selectable options.
We've launched more locations and updated our packages.
Did anything change to Advanced VPS Plan?
