My experience with ThrustVPS

After having others complain about FSCKVPS I decided to get off of it myself.

I moved to ThrustVPS and at work we bought a VPS from NYNOC the same day.

I now believe that there is no such thing as "instant setup". In every experience it takes at least full business day.
