Excellent Support

Was running into some issues with the software and their support staff was EXTREMELY helpful and resolved my issue and went above and beyond just a simple 15 minute chat.

Prices seem good but its all a ploy to get you to add a balance. Then you just cant connect to any machine. I tried 4 of them. They have insanely over secured SSH settings. Total waste time and the support just tells you to "Read the docs" I did read the docs. I sent you the terminal and it did not work. Thats why im messaging you. Im off to Runpod which actually works within 15 minutes of setup and has clear instructions.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry you had a frustrating experience. We can assure you there’s no “ploy” involved; in fact, we offer full refunds for any unused credits. So we will happily refund your balance.

We take pride in having a 4.3 average rating, and we’re disappointed your experience didn’t reflect that. We appreciate your input and will continue working to make our documentation and support even clearer. If you change your mind and decide to give us another try, we’d be glad to personally help you get up and running.

Vast has been very responsive and very fast at getting back to me. From a customer perspective they seem to take the job very seriously. One feedback is that if they could provide some service for their hosts. Without hosts they do not have inventory to sell and they need support as well.

The best option for me after AWS

If you use secure datacenter option, choose machine with lowest price for internet data transfer and be mindful about stopping your instances, when not using, then Vast.ai is the best option in the market. You need to learn Linux, SSH, Putty etc. You must have to, anyway if you want to use remote machines. I suggest read some online articles, you will get a better Idea before starting.
