Subject line says 128 meg but meminfo says 256, what's the story?  What does free -m say?  Are you paying 3 euro/year for this or is it a megavz.com product?

4 hours and 37 minutes of downtime since the last update.

Uptime of the vps itself is 18 days.

CPU is really bad and I/O is bad too. They enabled limits far beyond any reasonable limit. VPS is currently not usable. SSH login lasts 50 seconds.

[wlanboy]
