A Great Hoster : VPSLAND.com
Sep 21, 2008
I was searching a few days ago for a good vps hosting. When I found out VPSLAND.COM, I was very surprised. Their prices are the cheapest on the net and, I thinked it was an hoax. So I did a bit of search on the net, and I found many negatives comments on them. But, I decided I try them anyway and buy a Windows VPS... and I think it was the good option !
The "supposed" downtimes and "non-replying support team" are totaly fictive. You want service, then, you get it with VPSLAND.COM. They offer great VPS plans at a price you will never see at other webhosters. And, since 3 days, no downtime.
I would like to hear people's stories about VPSLAND.COM if anyone haves.

my host freaked up when getting a letter from a company about DMCA, and quickly shut my site down.
Does anyone know of a dedicated server hoster who does not jump the gun and shut down sites from a little Cease and Desist letter for around 299 EUR a month?
The site gets roughly in the thousands of hits per day.
(Off-shore hosting is fine too)

I have a problem with hoster. Purchased virtual hosting. All worked fine for more than a year. I did not make any changes in websites recently. Last several days one issue appears constantly: website starts downloading very slowly (30-60 sec for 20 kb page, or connection timeout). And each day their tech support don't realy want to help me. Only after 3-4 emails they fix the problem, but on the next day the problem arises again. I suppose they just ignore my problem. Possibly server is overloaded by other sites, or software was not tuned correctly, or something like that, and hoster does not want to solve the problem.
What can I do with this hoster?

I suspect people asking about tips on good hosters all the time here, and I'm no different.
But I can start off with the basic req. that might narrow it a tad atleast.
- - - - - - -
1 : Cpanel;
w.cpanel.net
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel
This is the first basic req. I have.
I myself are not the most skilled coder in the world, nor is the others around me and we like Cpanel since it "saves" us from confusion very often.
- - - - - - -
2 : Script php / mySQL friendly;
We use CMS scripts (MXP, Joomla, e107, etc) for our communities and forum scripts (phpbb, vBulletin, etc) at all times. So a good loading time is a must, nothing is as devestating for a communitie than a slooow forum.
- - - - - - -
3 : And the regular ;
BIG and cheap. We just doing noncommercial / fun / silly projects / communities so it needs to be cheap and with a good size. Have some photographers + communities with albums and that eats up a good chunk of webspace after awhile.
- - - - - - - -
We greatly appriciate any tips on hosters that covers this. Support don't have to superfast, we pretty relaxed when it comes to that, but the other reqs. is needed.
If you know or even better USE a hoster like this please let us know. We badly need one at the moment. We would be very happy if you could post or PM us a link/s to your or other sites you know of that is active and uses scripts like;
CMS systems
Forum
Photoalbums
So we can check the loadingtime over here in Sweden.

I am currently with a smaller US-provider where I am running a dedicated gentoo server with a dozen domains (all small stuff, mostly sme/private websites) and 2 dozen email accounts.
The nice thing about the current provider is that he lets me run sub-accounts where the holders of those accounts have their own billing. I let them run a domain/website on my server since its no extra cost for them, but they pay for the domain and extra email space for example w/o me having to care for it. They basically offer a minimum package and add every single thing on top of it, which I like since I do not need any webpage builders, templates whatever else. I rather only pay what I take.
Basically I am happy except for the connection speed, specially for the email. I am in Asia and other people using this server from Europe, and the time it takes to connect, up/download data to the server and to download larger emails is simply out of the normal.
any recommendations there? I am currently paying 75 USD/Mo + domain names. I think this is also a bit on the high side given that the server hardware is a bit out of date by now.
I am looking at the minimum to relocate only the email hosting to some faster service, which would have to have a reasonable storage size (>= gmail) with POP/IMAP access and of course to use my own domain names.

Would just like to recommend vpsland[dot]com for your VPS Hosting. I ordered my VPS through there very High Tech looking billing system that has a seemless link to their Virtuozzo VPS's as they are both made by Paralells. It then took under 24 hours for my VPS to be setup. I have found no problems with the VPS, the company even assisted with the installing of IonCube Loader for my PHP.
The support is brilliant, LiveSupport is offered and so is ticket support. The support response is very fast and you can reply by email no need to login to a portal or anything. Its so simple to use. They use Kayako for their support, its very reliable and works smoothly.
I have also had completely no downtime caused by VPSLAND and their systems, they have been veyr reliable and I would recommend them to anybody look for a cheap VPS. They also currently have an offer on Doubel Memory on many VPS's aswell as 50% off the first month. THe prices are exptremly competetive.
They are the ideal company if you are either very experienced or if you have no experience of servers at all.

I've seen nothing but bad reviews for VPSLand ever since I've been here. There have been the occasional good reviews, but those are usually posted by people with poor grammar and spelling and with less than 10 posts. So I got curious, and wondered if VPSLand really is as bad as everyone is saying.
Needless to say, I decided to try them out. They were running a 50% off the first month special which was perfect since I wouldn't be losing too much money in case anything bad happened. I chose the smallest Windows 2003 Virtuozo plan which came out to be $9 for the first month.
VPS was setup within 7 hours of payment. After tinkering around with my VPS, I decided I wanted to switch to 32bit (I was on 64 bit). I sent in a ticket asking for them to switch my OS. They said it was possible and proceeded to do it. After a day, I reminded them about it and within 2 hours they switched the OS.
I've sent in various support and billing tickets for different things and every time it's been resolved within 12 hours. My VPS has been up every time I have checked, but I haven't been monitoring it 24/7. However, every time I've needed it, it's been there. The speeds are pretty decent as well, I've only noticed lag a couple times within the 3 weeks I've been with them so far.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with VPSLand. I don't use their support as much since I prefer to learn everything myself so I just use Google to search for what I need and then I do it. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but for the price I'm paying ($18 a month for a 512MB Windows Server 2003 VPS) I'd say it's definitely worth it.

I have been using these guys for about 5 months now. I've never had a network problem with any of my VPS systems I have had with them. Uptime for me has been 100% without any issues.
Technical Support:
Technical Support was A+. Every little problem I had that google couldn't explain right, was solve by their tech support by time I checked my ticket. Not once did they give me a problem or a run around about a problem I had. They fixed it without delays.
Ticket System:
Send a support ticket, expect to get an answer very soon. All my tickets were answered in a timely fashion. Some in just 2-3mins, Talk about quick service.
System Resources:
As everyone knows, a VPS is shared between a dedicated server, and sometimes your VPS will be slowed/dragged depending on the amount of VPS networks setup on a system. My system has 1.5gb ram and I dont even know about the CPU process I have available. I have had no kind of system lag. I almost feel like my VPS is an actual dedicated server sometimes haha.
Long story short, I rate VPSLAND.com a 10/10

its the 5th day, my site and service are down, so i'm writing something about vpsland.
After doing so much hard work i got a good position on all search engines, and day by day im losing my positions only for my poor hosting, cause its down
The Problem began when i told them to upgrade my php version . Well. they did it but after that my site went offline
i couldn't start my vps or mysqld from virtuozzo. Now they fixed the mysqld thing. but the service called "named" is corrupted, so site is still offline. SO thing is like...
If you tell them to solve problem 1 and 2, they will solve the problem 1 and 2, but the new problem will occur ex.problem 5 and 6. they will fix the problem 6 but problem 5 will exist. They will ask you to make backup for thousands time, if you reply them Hello i have all of my backups, they will still ask for your permission and ask for backup. how decent they are.

A few month ago I needed some Windows VPS server and checked out WHT.
Apparently some folks recommended VPSLand and I thought it would be a good choice. Well after a few weeks with them I decided to move to another firm, because their Support is worse then I have ever seen with any hosting company.
It takes days to get an answer and in one occasion i even had to cancel the server since they couldn't get it to work again
Then yesterday one server went offline and after waiting a half day on support I received an email telling me that the server was online since months.
Then the hit today was that they just shut down one of the server cause he would use to much CPU
The thing which puzzles me is that they shut it down without notice and have me, the client, figuring out why i can't login
Long story short. I will move all my server to another company and can only recommend you to stay away from those guys.

VPSLand has some pretty slick prices. In spite of all the bad stuff said about them I decided to give them a try. I purchased their Windows-EZ Starter Value plan which uses Virtuozzo.
Setup:
- Not too bad, not great. Took a little while.
- Their management panels are in multiple places - not just one centralized dashboard from whence to access all other areas.
General:
- They don't automatically run backups, I had to run the backup myself.
- They didn't tell me not to apply Windows updates so I hosed my slice almost
immediately.
- Apparently my slice was rebooted without me knowing it b/c I had IIS set to manual and when I woke up one day it had stopped. I set it to automatic to avoid this.
- I had all sorts of install and permission issues with SQL Server 2005/08 Express, eventually gave up.
Support:
- Support is generally slow. Takes several hours for a response even if issue is emergency.
I'm not sure how many of these issues are Virtuozzo related and how many are VPSLand. I know I don't like Virtuozzo (call me old school, I want to apply my own patches), so I decided to purchase one of their Xen VPS. I purchased the WindowsXL-1024. Here's my thoughts on that experience thus far:
Setup:
- Took a long time.
General:
- Installed Windows Updates and suddenly couldn't get out to the internet (though I could still RDC in).
- Submitted trouble ticket and they fixed it but didn't tell me how.
- They told me not to apply Windows Updates - wait, I thought thats why I just got a Xen VPS? Waiting for their response.
Support:
- Several hour response time.
Well, its only been a day or so on the Xen VPS, I'll let you know how things go.

i'm thinking to pass to VPSLand. My website has 52'000 views/day and 11'000 visitors/day. I need windows, .net2 and MySQL.
What do you think of them? Their prices are very good and the service looks good too.
In particulare i was interested in the Value plan (29 $/month):
vpsland.com/ezwin.html
Any negative/positive experiences? What about support?
Somebody has a link to a website hosted with them?

Hello,
You should now see this issue resolved.
I undertand weekend understaffing but this MINOR issue took about 48 hours to resolve.
So if you needd some toy remote linux machine VPSLAND is a bargain but if you do some business stick to reputable hostings.

I used VPSland.com for the past 2 weeks and of course I enjoyed the first week of their servicc. It seriously got worse. There so called "network" for the server soo slow. They seriously messed up my server box as I was using it to host my databases for a game server. I'm currently using the "Starter" package and of course will not be using anything of theirs for long. The RDP (Remote Desktop) is horrible. Their network is terrible goes down all the time for me. I didn't worry about the network as far as i cared but they did something so stupid. I asked them for a password change, 6 hours later they reply, it works, then my box goes dead. Then I ask them why. They answer "There seems to be network problems with your box." I was like alright, they fix, then done. I login into my customer panel & RDP. NOTHING NO FILES, NO DATABASES OF MINE LEFT. Everything gone. I open a support ticket, they say they don't delete anything but after they changed my password, they totally screwed over my box. I ask them why the hell they removed all my important files. They answer "Sorry your box has many corrupted components, we recommend an re-installation. Please make a backup. When you are ready please reply" I'm like WTF? Where the hell are my files to even start with, how the hell do I make a backup. They answer "Thank your box has successfully been re-installed" yet now I still wait for there lame support (6hours after replies).
They messed up all my files, and important databases. I really want an explanation of what happened but they seem to ignore me. Hopefully my service/business project I have worked so hard on, so have other players to my gameserver will be restored. And yes I'm very angry, hope all your servers die & customers leave.
Also may anyone recommend me with a better VPS service? I need a cheap VPS which offers about 512MB-1GB of RAM guaranteed from a price of $10-$45.

In short: stay away.
The long version:
We ordered VPSLAND.com a week ago. The setup was fast, the config was smooth, prices are great (1Gb RAM server for 30 bucks a month, 50% discount for the first month - wow!). We moved our website (nothing special, 15 pages + SQL-Express database)
But then ((
I got up in the morning and saw an alert from "siteuptime.com" that our website is down for 4 hours... I pinged - timeout. Interesting - the web panel said that the server is fine and running... I rebooted the server and opened a support ticket, and after 8 hours the answer was "we had a hardware problem on the host server resolved now".
In the next few days I got another morning alert. Guess what. The site is down for 8 HOURS. God knows haw many clients we've lost... Again - the server is showing up as "running" in the webpanel, but it is totally unreachable. The support ticket answer was "we've updated the Virtuozzo version and restarted the host, it should work fine now"
...ok... I started to look for alternatives. Found "kickassvps" (recommended here) and asked them a couple of presales questions. And while I was waiting for a response - the server was down a couple of times again... Even now, after I transferred my website (runs fine BTW) I want to login to VPSLAND server (to remove my databases and do some cleanup) and guess what? It is f####ng down! )

I was looking for a windows vps for a few days and I've found vpsland through WHT but I saw some bad reviews about it but I took the chance any way as all what I had to pay is 9.5$ only for a Lite Windows VPS which is a gerat deal really!
Any way I submitted my order in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 12:08 PM
I received my account information in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 3:58 PM
I was really impressed with the fast setup of the VPS I thought it would take like 24-48 hours to setup it but it didn't even take 5 hours!
I logged in using the info to the RDP and I was happy with the speed I'm getting for 256Mb of RAM
I tried downloading and uploading two large files as a test for the connection speed and I got a very good speed really .
I sent an e-mail to the support asking about if Plesk is included with my account but I didn't notice in the package that it isn't
any way I sent the e-mail in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 6:55 PM
and received the reply in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 7:26 PM
I would like to thank vpsland for the good service and I hope your service stay always like that
I would be more than happy to provide my domain name hosted with vpsland to any of the admins for verification

I recently decided to upgrade to a VPS from shared hosting. I have decided to give VPSLand a shot, even though I am a little skeptical after reading a few negative reviews.
I will be providing an in-depth ongoing analysis of my experiences with them for the benefit of the WebHostingTalk community.
I signed up for the "Windows-EZ VPS Value" package.
RAM: 768MB (a great vlaue)
HDD: 8GB
Transfer: 300 GB
Price: $29/month
( with 50% off first month coupon my total was $14.50 )
After completing the sign-up process, I checked my email and noticed I had received 6 automated e-mails from them during the process
The order was placed at 9:46am.
They e-mailed me that my VPS was created at 10:10am (nice)
The followup e-mail with my server information arrived at 10:20am. For a total of 34 minutes from sign-up to server access. So far I am very happy.
I will run a few tests and follow-up shortly.

Just wanted to share here my experience with VPSland.
I've registered to the provider 3.5 months ago. I was in a hurry to find a fully administrated windows-based hosting service, and so I finally chose VPSland. At the time I wasn't aware of this forum, BTW.
The server was available for my use about 6.5 hours from the submission of my order, a reasonable time IMO. Unfortunately my good impressions with this provider end at this point.
The server seemed nice and responsive, so within a few hours I proceeded to request VPSland for some DNS records in their DNS servers, before I set my domain to use their name servers.
Although my request for the DNS records was simple IMO (I could do it in 2 minutes), it took them over 2 days to fully comply with my requirements. At first, it seemed like they do not take the time to carefully read what I write them. Then, it seemed like they just have no idea of what they are doing. At some point they even told me I should "allow sometime for DNS propagation", although the nslookup outputs I've provided them showed clearly that I was querying their own servers, so propagation isn't an issue.
My first support ticket therefore left me concerned with their support team's ability, but I just hoped for the best and continued on. Another request for DNS changes a month later, followed also the same pattern, though this time, I was able to wrap it up within just over a day.
Shortly after I finished this first issue, the VPS crashed while I was working on it. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, and the connection simply fell, with the control panel for the VPS being inaccessible as well. So I submitted another ticket saying there is no communication, and the control panel is down. To this I received the reply "try restarting the VPS from the control panel" (which, as I clearly said, was down). So again, it seems they don't read what I write them. To their merit, I should say that their initial reply (though unhelpful) was quite rapid -- within 6 minutes. I took them, however, another 3/4 hour to actually fix the problem.
The VPS kept crashing later quite often, with a total of 4 crashes during the first month, 2 crashes during the 2nd month, and another 2 crashes during the 3rd month. The treatment for each of these crashes took 30-60 minutes, so none of these were horrible, but I was pissed off of not having a peace of mind, obliged to constantly monitor the site to assure it is online.
But what really took the cake was what happened a week ago. My VPS crashed, and was down for a whopping 18 hours -- during this entire time I had no web or mail services. This left me shocked. I couldn't understand how can any serious company allow a service to be down for 18 hours. They said that there were some problem with the node running my VPS, and the whole time I was thinking, if there is a problem with a single node (since other VPSs were up at the time), why not just move the VPS to a different node? I actually said that to them, and begged them to get the VPS running, but as I said, this only happened after an 18 hours failure, when they finally fixed the node.
You'd think they'd compensate me for something like that, but first they offered me only one buck (something which I perceived as an insult, really). I complained again, but all they offered was, in accordance with their SLA, a measly 10% credit, which is 2.9 bucks.
The last 18 hours long crash finally shook me from my stagnancy, and I begun to do some serious research for a new, dependable provider. I'm hoping to move from this provider by the end of the month.
The main advantage of VPSland is their low prices. They also usually offer reasonable response times for "normal" support requests.
However, anything beyond the scope of the very standard support request takes a very long time to complete. They are highly independable, and from what I perceived, most of their staff is unskilled.
I'd post our site's address here, so you can see that VPSland really hosts it, but being a new user I'm prohibited from posting the URL here.

According to the reviews on the Forum. Most of you won't trust an important client/application to a VPSLand VPS.
So I was wondering if you would trust a critical application to KickassVPS?
Why my question?
I am evaluating to consolidate 2 VPSLand based VPS into 1... the load is not so high and KickassVPS seems to provide more features for the buck... not to mention Plesk and Smarterstats...
