Seems everything M247, just like other location of HH. With $30, what ever.

Tips for using HostHatch’s broken Panel

Their panel is very buggy, it seems that centos7 and ubuntu are bad, but when I reinstalled to debian10 then all functions are normal
So here’s what I did

  1. reinstall to Debian
  2. Mount the netboot.xyz
  3. reinstall the os you want from ISO

This is only my personal solution, not guaranteed to work

VirMach use Track - How to enable AES-NI without opening a ticket

You may already find that two box above, one is AES-NI enabled but another one not.

When you reinstall your OS in VirMach’s SolusVM:

You can see some operating system is end with a gen2
If you install these gen2 template, your box will likely to enable the AES-NI. Even you reinstall to other OS later, the AES are still enabled.

Personlly, I install Debian 8 x 86_64 Minimal v1 (gen 2)
