You get what you pay for .....

I have to second audax's opinion, here

This is some pretty pathetic hosting service.

I ordered the Promotional Plan VPS on the 17th. It took a full day to provision the server. On the 18th, when notified that my server was ready, I attempted to ssh into my server using the provided credentials. It didn't work. Two full days later, I still have not been able to log into my server.

Here's the ticket log, with names and IP addresses redacted. Note the level of urgency demonstrated by the admin faced with the challenge of fixing an urgent client issue. Especially the last reply where he says he'll "investigate this issue further"

Can't ssh into server with credentials provided:

SSH Access Information

Main IP Address: xx.xxx.xxxx.xxx
Username: root

You are using host key verification. You need to give us access.

OK - so how do I do that?

[Admin Name]
Staff 06/19/2009 09:50
That is because we need to add your local IP in the hosts.allow list: What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Internet Speed Test, IP Info, plus more

You probably had too many failed log in attempts.

My MacBook is connected to the internet via cable modem, which gets reset from time to time -- I've been known to blow fuses, and the power sometimes goes out for other reasons. I'm not at home to test this, but I know it's possible that re-starting the cable modem could change my IP address. (It's a recommended online as a possible method to get around being IP banned.)

Second issue: I have putty on my iPhone, specifically to be able to log into my servers using ssh. I just tested my IP

aa.aaa.aaa.aa

Then I turned the phone off, and turned it back on again. Now my IP reads as

bb.bbb.bb.bbb

I let the phone 'go to sleep' through inactivity, and when it woke up, and I refreshed the page, the IP address was now

cc.ccc.cc.ccc

So, given the somewhat dynamic nature of the IP addresses I'll be using to connect to my server, how is this going to work?

Well for some reason, you must of installed something on your VPS or changed something in the configuration, because there isn't any other VPS we host that asks us for:
========
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
========

We will need to add your I.P. address to the allow hosts file.

What I.P.'s will you be accessing your VPS from?

The only thing I've done is update the domain nameservers at moniker.com as instructed in your email, and attempt to log in as root using ssh from my mac. Authentication has failed, repeatedly, first attempt, every attempt.

Only if repeated failed authentications can "install something", could your statement be correct. I have not been able to log in to the server even once.

Set up these two IP addresses

[redacted] and [redacted]

This has been fixed.

Your I.P.'s have been added.

This is ridiculous.

Please cancel my account and refund my money.

Taken from our T.O.S:
===========================
All servers rendered by Nixism are not eligible for a refund. All overcharges or charge disputes must be reported within 30 days of the time that the dispute occurred. If a charge, that is deemed valid by the sole discretion of Nixism and validated by our TOS or AUP, is disputed to our Credit Card Issuer by issuing a charge-back, then you agree to pay an 'Administrative Fee' of $200 fee, in addition to whatever amount of money was charged back.

You are only allowed 24 (twenty-four) hours to request a refund for your VPS Server or your Dedicated Server. Which means 24 (twenty-four) hours after your account is activated, once this time period is pasted you will not be refunded under any circumstances.
===========================

We will like to continue to work with you.. What is the exact error message you are getting?

It is hard to troubleshoot this issue, because we are able to SSH in and you aren't.. Your I.P. is not being blocked, so I don't know why you are having problems.

Good thing I'm only out $8.95, which isn't worth my time to charge back.
 
You installed something on your VPS, that prevented you from logging into your VPS.

Couldn't edit my post..

Quoted from our Technician.
your client is using host key verification. you might want to ask him to give you the access !

You blocked yourself out of your own server.
