Jeremy, Yes, more than enough .
But, If you wanted to ask 'so who is the real idiot?', well, the answer is clear it's me. In my defense, I've dealt with these people for well over 10 years, though not for hosting, and, the vps performed adequately for 1.5 years, with only 1 glitch I think.( though the Win MS SQL server was a joke from day 1, I guess I should've learnt from that debacle) Two weeks into this incident, today got this: ------------------------- Please find attached our IR for the most recent issue we experienced with our infrastructure. The issue experienced was directly related to maintenance work being conducted on the underlying storage. As a result maintenance tasks have been reviewed to ensure the do not create excessive load that will be visible to the customer environment. In addition it has also become clear that customers may also be able to generate high IO load in a similar manner to this maintenance with the potential to affect other clients systems. As a result we have now implemented hard IO limits on all VPS in the cluster (200IOPS) If you would like any further information please respond to this email.
