EuroVPS - Are These Speeds Normal
Apr 30, 2007
I've recently purchased a VPS 250P package from EuroVPS and actually signed up for a two year contract as I respect the company so much however the speeds I've got, since finishing optimising the server, surprise me.
I'm already using a VPS from another dutch company until I move everything over to EuroVPS but the difference in speeds are a little concerning to me.
Please can you guys look at these response times and tell me if they are normal?
Current VPS: Page created in 0.035 seconds with 11 queries.
EuroVPS: Page created in 0.199 seconds with 8 queries.
Both servers are using the same spec, optimisations and PHP cache however my current VPS is using Apache1/PHP5/MySQL5 and with EuroVPS I can't afford to get them to upgrade to version5 so it's running on Apache2/PHP4/MySQL4.
I did get this response from EuroVPS, does it explain the difference in times?
"...we are using enterprise kernels which are slower than standard SMP/UP kernels. The performance of our VPS instances is not as high as some competitors who are using these faster, but smaller kernels.".
Once again, I have the utmost respect for EuroVPS and love their support but would appreciate some opinions on this from you guys.

high speed data between Sydney and New York and my VPS. Will be running automated trading software on their Windows VPS. Needs to have high uptime with very few reboots. This is better than running my applications from home.

I don't want to pre-empt too much but has anyone here succesfully received a refund from EuroVPS?
I was a long time lurker here and see that they seem to get good reviews so I signed up a VPS there. Now I'm not sure it was the right decision. I've asked for a refund and its all gone silence for 2 weeks despite repeated and polite emails as well as phone calls.

Just want to mention that Eurovps is best hosting provider for VPS solution.
Tech support : 10/10
Network : Great speeds to Europe and US
Happy with them.
They only had some problems with network sometimes but it was nothing to do with them.

Just experienced something totally cracy with EuroVPS which I feel I just have to share with the rest of you. I am currentlly looking for a serious VPS provider who isn't just the cheapest offer around but also offer good quality, support and network speed. Based on some comments here, I decided to give EuroVPS a try (among a few others).
In the begining it all went well, I did send them a few questions via email, and got replies quite fast. They wern't perhaps the most friendly replies you have ever seen making me feel they actually cared but rather quite formal, and sometimes they just refered to other people sending me information soon (which didn't happen without me asking again). But overall, it was still very good, which I also told them. Because of this, I decided to sign up for a free VPS trial, which was setup quite fast. So far so good.
Then it all started to go wrong. When connection with Remote Desktop I noticed that the speed I seemd to have wasn't quite as good as I had expected. This doesnt necessarily mean that they are doing anything wrong, but it made me send them a question to their sales address (I simply resonded to a previous mail). I received a reply saying that in order to get any support, I had to log in and use the HSP Complete panel. Perhaps not the nicest reply but still, I can live with that, and did as they said. I received a response that in order to give me any help, I had to send them my root login and password. I was suprised by this, especially as I was asking about network connectivity, and because you normaly wouldn't hand out your login credentials to just anyone. But, as it seeme the be the only way forward, and this was just a trial, I did it. Just a few seconds later, I received an automatic email which contained my text, which ment that the login credential I has just entered via HTTPS had now been sent over the Internet in plain text without encryption. Maybe I am to focused on security, but this handling to me raised some serious concern regarding how things like security were really setup at EuroVPS, and I emailed them asking for an explaination. And then all hell broke loose.
Within an hour, I received email that all my support tickets had been closed. I then received an email that my VPS had been stopped, and finaly one saying that it had been deleted (including any files I might have had there)! Just like that, no prior warning or anything, just bang, deleted. Maybe 30 minutes later, my phone rang and a very hostile and unfriendly guy said he was calling from Greece and that I had a VPS account with them that had just been terminated. Greece I thought, that can't be correct, I signed up for a vPS with a company in the Netherlands? But no, apperantly this is a greek company, just that they happen to host their stuff at EasyNet in the Netherlands.
He then continued to basically tell me to go to hell, and that they didn't want to do business with "people like me". Then he said that as a none paying customer (isn't that the point of a free trial?) I had no right to send questions to their technical support (remember, they were the ones who told me to do it). And then it went on like this, until I ended the call, as I didn't really see any point in being treated like dog **** just because I had made the misstake to evaluate a VPS with them and had sent them a question about network speed.
Even now, a few hours later, I am still upset by all this, but also glad that I hadn't yet signed up as a paying customer (which I was just about to do) before they showed their true face. But still, I am shocked by the way I was treated by EuroVPS and I wouldn't dream of ever doing business with them again, nor recommend them to anyone, despite the fact that the technical aspects of their offerings and their prices seem very good. Paying to be treated like shite...dont think so. I must say that I am also very suprised by this, as I before had gotten a very good impression of EuroVPS and this wasn't really what I expected, especially since it all started out very well.

Just a small note from me about my experiences with EuroVPS, I transferred to them from Siteground Shared Hosting about 1 1/2 years ago, I run a fairly busy vbulletin forum, I say it's 'busy' because siteground said my site was consuming too many resources and they basically gave me 7 days to upgrade to their VPS or they said they would shut my site down, so I promptly transferred to EuroVPS.
The transfer went fairly smoothly and my site was up and running in no time at all, this whole VPS thing was totally new to me so the WHM and Plesk things etc. were like toys at xmas, albeit a bit confusing, naturally I had a few tickets in the beginning asking how this and that worked, their response time was phenomenal, I don't think I have ever had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a response. I have opened a total of 20 tickets so far.
Since then I have had the occasional ticket regarding problems and questions from my side and they have always been polite and have always solved my issues 100%. About 6 months ago there was a bit of an issue with regards to the transfer of my domain name that hadn't gone through from siteground to EuroVPS which caused my site to go down. A few tickets later and we managed to figure out what the problem was between us, believe it or not but EuroVPS actually phoned me at home to apologise for the confusion, in my opinion that is oustanding customer service and damn decent of them to go to all the trouble they went to and then still phone me.
Fantastic guys on their support team and in the Accounts department, I have nothing but praise for them, especially Sam M, Jeff D and Eugene K, thank you guys for top notch support.

i have 5 servers with Eurovps.com since Feb 2008
I must have raised around 60 to 70 tickets with them in last 1 year. 90% of the tickets the response time is less than 3 minutes. Sometimes they take around 5 minutes to reply.
But definitely i get back replies in less than 5 minutes all tickets new and pending.
It feels like they have a huge team which is always online waiting for tickets.
Recently i had problems in server on 31st December night 11pm Indian Time. I sent a ticket surprisingly their ticket reply came back in 2 minutes and again in next 3 minutes the second reply came that the server is again up.
Last week they helped me with one server which had few problems. They reinstalled the server for me and also transfered the accounts and checked each website. One of the website had issues de to mysqli extension not installed. They did it too and completed the entire job very professionally.
They also configured one of the servers for application hosting. The server surely has become 2x faster after Eurovps tuning work on the vps. They also called me on mobile to inform me.
I surely recommend eurovps for someone searching for premium and reliable hosting.
one word of caution dont use bad language with them. The people manning the support team are no nonsense people and will not accept rude language. If you are good with them they will also be good with you.
If others also happy with eurovps support then please feel free to post it here.
All in all their servers are pretty fast due to quality hardware and support also very fast .. complete peace of mind for me with eurovps.

I basically bought a HPS Complete VPS hosting account with EuroVPS and i am having problems setting up an email client as no web mail client comes by default with that plan.
I asked the eurovps support team 2-3 times on how to set up MS Outlook as my email client for my domain and they answered the same thing and it's not working.
I was wondering,if anyone of you have HSP Complete VPS hosting account with euroVPS and is there anyway to have webmail.
As per there documentation,i am using the following:
username: user
email:user@mydomain.com
smtp&pop3: mail.mydomain.com
smtp port: 25
pop port: 110
Selected to use authentication for outgoing server and checked the option to use same authentication method as incoming server,
Deselected SPA authentication scheme
I did everything as per the documentation they sent me but it's not working,

Im currently running a streaming media (video) site on a p4 3.0 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. I think its a 10mpbs unmetered port. It streams extremly slow, to the point where it lags every second. It does this even though their is only 6 people on, with loads of 200 it just freezes up. What configuration would be able to hold traffic of 200 people constantly. I was on a faster server with hostgator, their dedicated pro but i went through the bandwidth in 5 days.

Just wondering really, if you have a 1U cooler like an Akasa AK-CC029-5 or Dynatron P199, do these generally run full speed 24x7 or should they be bios controlled?
I've never had any cooling issues or reliability issues with either of these coolers, but they don't seem to want to be controlled through the bios on all of the boards I have used, so they run full whack 24x7

For those of you that complain about the slow loading speed of your sites due to being on over-loaded servers or over-sold bandwidth, why do you think that the discounted rate is worth the loss of customers that you might earn if your site loaded faster.
Have you ever given your sites a try on a quality host where your site loaded faster? You might be surprised at how much more effective your marketing was when surfers stay around long enough to see your site load.
Some times in the effort to secure such a great deal and save a penny, you wind up loosing a dollar, it might not make a difference to all of you but some will be surprised at the ROI for a bit better hosting!

how to tune linux (currently running fedora4) server to improve download speeds for the client. I have observed that if i download from sun it is very fast compared my own server which is hosted on cogent backbone or any other.
Please take into account that both mine and other server both are at relatively same number of hops and ping time. and my server and the carrier has enough bandwidth to fill whole 100mbps, even the client is a server which is on a different backbone which can fill whole 100mbps, also guys i was able to fill whole 100mbps while downloading from sun. but when i download test file from my server it is lagging at 3mbps around. only single thread using wget command. Now what is it i need to do to get my server able to push full pipe even for single thread, ping time is 25ms. if not full at least half. let me know if you have some workaround, and server is apache no load.

i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?

I'm currently using ipower, which just switched to fewer but larger servers. The impact for me is a new throttle in download speed, which is about 350KB/sec (although I can do FTP downloads when logged in at 500KB/sec. Previously, with the more but smaller servers, you just got a share of what was available on the server with no throttle, and when activity was low on a server, it was enough to max out my cable's limitation of about 1.5MB/sec (12 mega-bits / second).
It seems that few web hosting sites will specify typical download speeds from a web hosting account. I'm hoping that members here could report what they are getting from various web hosting services.
My web site is
jeffareid.net
A "hobby" web site, mostly videos from car racing games, just niche market enough to not attract excessive traffic.

I just found that my VPS uses ADSL - which makes no sense since the download speed into vps isn't important, it is the upload speed. BTW, it has 100mbps port - so the port is fine, it is the network.
1. What upload speeds are available for VPS's (in mid price range)?
2. What is a reliable way to test upload speed?

Can someone who has a server with ecatel check what their download speeds are from USA?
I'm getting < 30kb/s and the port is at 20mb/s... so there should be much more speed.

I serve mp3 dj mixes for some friends and am coming up on the end of my current hosting contract here in the next couple of months. They have been a fantastic host the only reason I am working on looking elsewhere is cost-related.
I got a unbelievable deal when I signed up last year and it would run me almost $300 to renew for another year, which is out of my price range.
Aside from great uptime (99.97% over 10 months), the thing I really like about the current host is their download speed. I have a 1mb cable connection at home and consistently download files at 850ish/kbps. Everyone I have spoken with has experienced similar speeds. This is much faster than any host I have ever used and is twice as fast as another host I use.
So, what I am looking for is a host that offers something similar in that regard that's around $10/month and optimally has coupons/deals floating around.
I would be happy getting 650kbps/sec, obviously the faster the better. Uptime is always a consideration, however this is more of a hobby and I am not expecting the same uptime that I get currently.
I am not against using a dreaded 'overseller' for this venture, I just need something that pushes large files fast.
I have plenty of time to find a new host, but would like to start getting a short list put together so I can request test files and whatnot.

I have seen that most hosting companies will post a download link with a file for speed testing purposes. I understand that I can download this and watch the speed, etc.
What is the best way to do a download test?
For instance if I just download the file to my machine I am concerned that I am not doing a good test. I am using firefox on XP and while the download is running it shows a speed that goes up and down. I am not sure if that is a realtime number or a cumulative number based on the total download to date. If it is cumulative then I guess I would just watch the number towards the end of the download to get an idea of the speed.

I have been lurker for long time already but now decided to ask this question I have been wondering about past few months.
I rent an dedicated server from KeyWeb, with dedicated 100mbps link. The server itself isn't that good & fast, but it's just perfect for my gaming server (E4500, 2GB DDR-2 ram and 2 x 320GB sata 2 drives)
Now to the problem. Always when I download some big files with this server from ftp or html server, and if I only open one connection, speed is very poor... Like 1MB/s or so, but if I use some download manager or torrent client which opens more than just one connection, +10 or so... Then the speed is very good, sometimes it goes up to 15MB/s. The server is actually connected to 1gbps switch but I think the port is limited to 100mbps.
At speedtest (dot) net, I get results like 17mbps down and 8mbps down.
So... Is that normal or is there something wrong? I've not contacted them yet, but if this isn't normal. I will Ofcourse I'll try to solve this on my own.
and before someone asks if this ftp I'm downloading from is not fast enough... I can tell you, it's. I downloaded one big file from it at school and at max speed was about 9MB/s

I am trying to gather more information regarding Mediatemple's Nitro DPV service and also MT's network speed/connection.
Most information I see is regarding the Gridserver service which is quite poorly reviewed, but I would be quite skeptical if this census could also be applied to the higher end Nitro service? -- the Mediatemple service is running sites like Techcrunch, Mashable, etc. so I am assuming the service is better with the higher end Nitro service?
There hasn't been any reviews of the Nitro service, so still trying to get some feedback from current Nitro customers or MT Complex Hosting customers. Any here who would like to share?
As far a network speeds, the ping does seem slightly slower than some other host (according to pingdom tools), but suppossedly they are a tier 4 data center if that means anything.
