Hivelocity 1st Month Reviews
Oct 13, 2009
I jumped on one of the twitter daily deal they have - I was pretty happy with their services:
Speed of sites 4/5
Support Level 2/5
Anyways, they have a package for the 2.66 dual quad, They were out of it so they give me a 2.33 for 10 dollars less, I was like okay that fine.
Since the invoiced already paid, I thought I was going to get 10 dollars credit back and the next billing will be 180.
But no, I still get 190 dollars invoice, so I take it to the billing department (which only 1 person work there by the way) So while trying to get this solve, my server was pulled off without any telling so my sites was dead.
So I called their 800 number, and it was something wrong with their line, all break up and static. So I went online, and wait for about 5 minutes, the (only one) billing rep was there. She told me to pay now and we will talk to the (only one) sale rep that deal me with.
Overall, the speed of the server was good, but the support side is HORRIBLE.
Maybe is true that they only have 1 sale rep and 1 billing persron, but at least tell ahead in the ticket if you going to pull the server off While sorting out the problem.
I feel they are unprofessional and very unimpressive support. I paid their invoice and hoping to move out next month.
Stay way from them if you need any kind of support because it does take a long time. for technical support I think you pay a monthly fee or 65 dollars per hour. For billing you get the only one (Ju pak) and for sales you get the only one (Dave)
Overall, you can tell that I am not happy with them pulling off my server and you need a 24 hours waiting time for EACH reply.
So think twice when their site advertise IMPRESSIVE SUPPORT with an * on their site.

2-Month HiVelocity Review
I've had a VPS with HiVelocity for 2 months now to run a single site. So far it's been flawless, it took an entire 3 days to get set up (which was really annoying at the time), but past that it's had no problems whatsoever. At one point I sent out a mass email on the VPS to over 50,000 addresses (letting them know the site was back online), and there were no problems handling that at all. The VPS has run flawlessly, thus I can't really rate their technical support (!). The review is short, and I apologize, but there's not much else to say.Overall: A-
Do I recomend them? YES, if you're not looking for that "small host" feel, or if you're looking for unmetered bandwidth.Any Q's? Ask away.

one of Hivelocity’s customers that has been using their services now for a little more than 3 months now.
Actually I didn’t really know where or even why I would like to write such a topic for them! But when I saw such a handling here and a few reviews of other companies I have received such great service there and with great effort from one of their best employees (Dave) who really helped me a lot I have had a great boost with my sales offers and also with some great sales advice that really brings in the clientele. You really get the feel of personal attention when you talk to a person who understands what you say and also what you are trying to accomplish.
I started with 2 dedicated servers for a few clients and Dave made some great first offers. He went with me through the order step by step then after it was ordered it was moved to "Ju" who checked my payment and called me to verify my order and then to Dave to finish everything up and got the order entered into their system.
Within hours I got an email that the servers were being assembled and I waited till I got them . It took some time of course, no too long. Then I took some time to test the server before I passed it on to my clients. I found the offers are cheaper than most others and that made me worry about the quality of the hardware but once I got the servers and checked them the hardware, software and network were astounding. I was amazed!
Then I had a friend who referred me to them, in reference to a reselling account, he told me about the “Impressive support.” So, I tested their support, I asked simple questions and tested their responses to make sure that they could handle fairly small issues then I made a few "911" tickets to make sure that they could handle more drastic issues and within I guess not more than 2 minutes I got the reply from a guy. I really respect him and I was really happy that I found him to be an Arabian guy named Islam , he actually made me fell at home, he answers me ASAP and perfectly and he really knows what he is doing there .
I tried once to post a ticket, but with the minimum priority and it was answered within 10 minutes , as it was for nothing important only for testing their response.
Of course as you might guess there is, sometimes, as many other companies, find that there is some delay in the weekends. I can handle this actually, but what I really liked about Hivelocity is that you can get orders and offers anytime! Even the weekend as Dave is always there (guy never sleeps I guess )
I asked him once about this and he answered, ”Only on one condition, It will be when the good Lord takes me , and I hope that’s not to be soon”
I asked to get a reseller account and some offers and they really helped my business. I moved most of my servers and business there and I really get awesome offers and options. I also found out about the twitter deals a few days ago. I thought “I'm the only one who gets such offers” but I really found they have some crazy offers as I'd like to call it.
Really I can call them my business saver and not only is it impressive support but I can tell impressive support , sales and discounts.

I just cancled my box at HVC, sadly, I am not happy to be honest, but the reason for doing so was that the box wasn't needed anymore.
Here's my review about HVC, and the great 7 Months I've had with them, I've never had any experience like that, ever!
Network: 10/10
I've only had 1 network outrage, and that one was planed, and didn't last more than 15 minutes!
I've always had a superb speed, uptime and latency has been great for my servers, MMO Servers ain't quite so sensitive as FPS games (CSS etc), but ping will be noticed.
Network has been awesome!
Support: 9.5/10
Support, cannot say much about that, but the tickets I had, were answered rather fast, thought, the Sales ticket took a bit time.
Nothing more to say about that part, I am simply amazed.
I dunno what I shall say more, I am at tears, I really wish I could have enjoyed several other months with HVC!

I decided to give HiVelocity a chance, and I myself has used several provider such as SoftLayer, The Planet, LayeredTech, and others. Let me begin with the sign up.
The initial sign up was very quick and easy. I got on live chat and Kevin gave me an amazing deal exactly what I was looking for spec and price wise. I paid and verification was done by Kevin within five minutes. I told him not to install an OS and just give me a KVM, so I can do it myself. He promised me that it would be setup that night, but I was assigned IPs listed in various spam databases, so I requested them to be changed.
Kevin was very helpful and tried, but the person who assigns the IPs was gone for the day, and it was friday, and it could have not been done until monday. I told Kevin to hold the deployment until Monday, which he did. I had an issue over the weekend, and everything got confusing, so Kevin who was off on weekend actually called me to clear things up, and comes Monday Kevin got the server up by 3:00PM EST. It was working well, but then I wanted remote reboot which became a nightmare. It took them a week to put me in the right rack to give me remote reboot. I started to ask them on Monday and it was done on Sunday or something. This was pretty annoying I had to get the IP's changed and what not, but Kevin responded to all my calls, live chat, and emails. I was given a good reimbursement by Kevin and Steve which made it worth while, but since then it has been great! If you are looking for a server with HiVelocity or just a good deal you might want to talk to Kevin, you can find him on live chat
Sales - 10/10
Support - 8/10
Billing - (I wish they had some sort of thing for weekend)

Sentris/JustEdge - 7/5 Month Reviews - Great time with them so far!
About half a year ago, I got my first server with Sentris.com, after hearing some scetchy reviews I was worried about going with them - but I thought I would give them a try.
7 months later and now having a few servers with them they have provided a fantastic server to me to run ClanDrive.com's shared/other services off.
They have always been quick to fix any problems on their side of things which I could not handle, they provide an excellent bang-for-a-buck.
When I first signed up on my first server with them, just a few problems but they were resolved quickly. The server was in stock so I did not experience their fantastic setup times (usually within the same day), so the next day I had the server setup for me and an appology for the wait. There was also a cPanel licensing problem but they also sorted that for me in the same day.
Other than that, it has been a grand experience, they have provided an excellent service on my servers and support, now getting 30 minute replies from them which I consider good compared to old experiences.
They've forwarded any tos violations or phishing reports to me of any of my clients, allowing me to deal with it myself, understanding that I am running a webhosting company.
They've given me a good basis for ClanDrive, proud for them to be my provider.
-----
Justedge, another fantastic service providing some high quality bandwidth for me, some higher bandwidth usage plans for me.
I use Justedge for higher-spec plans and some VPS accounts.
Just one problem, on setup time, was due to a fault motherboard causing some serious errors but they replaced it within a day, also saving my data + configuration too, so no need to start over.
They've responded to my support queries slower than Sentris but its acceptable, they provide a good service for their money, always helpful and help me resolve my problems.
Have helped with sorting out e-mailing problems and have been helpful on spam issues.
-----
I'd recommend companies to anyone who is wanting a good service, with good uptime, hardware and staff. They've provided a great experience to me with multiple servers each.

My website suspended by a hosting service provider they told me that I try to send some spamming emails, the details about my website it's very small with 282 users (before suspended) I used phpBB version 2 and send news to users with phpBB send mail function. Frequency of sending is not more than 2 times a month and not every month.
I've already contacted the hosting provider they didn't help anything just say "Hold on" for 1 day a ago.

I've signed up with Wiredtree for a Managed VPS 12 days ago.
I know it's not enough time to write a review. But I decided to write my first impression then keep you updated by writing a new review at the end of each month, so expect one at 12 February.
For now, these guys are simply the best I've tried.
They reply you in 15 minutes or less and if it took them more, 20 minutes or something, then be sure that they're investigating your problem. If you can't wait for 15 minutes, then go ahead and give them a call on their toll-free number and they'll be with you second by second. Their support wont just solve your problem, but they'll educate you telling you what caused the problem and how did they fix it.
I'm solicitous about security. But with these guys, I finally sleep peacefully knowing that my VPS is well secured.

I am currently Hivelocity customer (also have servers with Softlayer).
I am wondering if Hivelocity ever plans to make portal options similar to Softlayer?
I am talking about automated os reinstall (better prices or free like SL does)
I am talking about Support ticket (Administration tickets which are 3 dollars at Softlayer).
I am talking about free kvm and stuff like that.
I am not asking this because i don't think that hivelocity is not good provider. I am with hivelocity for about 10 days now, and its been fine.
I must say that i am not very impressed with their customer portal page, ticketing page, server page, nor bandwidth graphs (where they had a problem with my account since the first day i signed up .. and problem is still there, 'they are working on it' which is fine ... i don't mind).
I must say that hivelocity gave me great deal on the server, thats why i ordered it with them.
I just hope that they will make some stuff hingssupport easier for their customers and make it less expensive to have our servers fixed, worked on.

I couple of weeks ago I was in need for a dedicated server, for my file hosting site. Now I needed the site as asap, so I even took the weekend off work just so I can work on the server and make sure everything is up and running.
So I found hivelocity by searching through the net and it had pretty good prices so, before I bought the server from Hivelocity I specifically asked how long will it take to setup the server and they told me it would be 24 hours. So I went and bought the server from them believing I would have it by saturday evening. So the next day around the same time I checked whether my server was online but it wasnt, I contacted support and asked them whats going on. This is what really irritated me..
I spoke to the same guy i spoke to the day before when buying the server. I asked him when my server would be online and he said its gonna be another 6 hours. So I told him what he told me yesterday.. he said it would take 24 hours. He then claimed he doesn't remember saying how long it took when I could CLEARLY remember he did, I wouldn't of bought the server if I didnt ask. And then after arguing with him he went and checked his records and turned around and said yes 24 hours was an estimate. First of all, why on earth would you say you don't remember that conversation and then the next second change your words.. he never said 24 hours was a rough estimate.
So even after that I waited that 6 extra hours (so I would have been 6AM in the UK), I came woke up the next morning around 12PM (so its now been 12 hours) to find the server still wasn't online. I went back onto support and then they said I have to wait upto ANOTHER 16 hours!
Now if I knew i would have to wait this long I would have just canceled my order there and then but I was reluctant enough to wait thinking that it may come online within the next few hours. The server went online the next afternoon! (Monday afternoon) So instead of their 24 hours they told me it took almost 72 hours!
I didnt even login to the account to check whether the server was online or not.. i went straight to support and asked them to cancel my account and give me a refund. They had no problem canceling my account, but they never gave me a refund saying its part of the T&C not to give refunds for dedicated servers.
So let me sum this up... I was told I would get a server within 24 hours which i didn't... i was lied to.. i took 2 days off of work...and then paid $165 for A SERVER WHICH I NEVER USED!

Does Hivelocity have a UK data center for their dedicated servers ? If they don't, where exactly in the USA is their data center located?
Anyway, I was just at Hivelocity's new Cloud server site www.thecloudiscoming.com and it says it is being launched on 10/15/2009 but they only have a "beta signup" option. Anyone know when the full service will be operational and the pricing?

I placed an order with Hivelocity to find out two days later that they want some extra signed paperwork (paypal authorisation form + copy of id). They never disclosed any of this during the signup process or discussions with their sales staff which is making me hesitant to use a provider that pulls strange tricks like old managed.com.
Any way do you have any suggestions where I can get a rapid deploy of FreeBSD 7.0 that is not Layered Technologies, Sagonet, Managed.com or Hivelocity?

i had a bad start with them, but now I got my server up 24/7 for 18 days straight now. They charge well for a 300 gb per month and 100 mbps of bandwdith. Their support is really quick too. The bad problem was my server crash every 2 time per week and I told the support if they can help me with that problem but they said they will charge 68 dollars per hr which is really bad. So i had to fix that problem, i don't know if i did or not. But over all, Hivelocity.com is great provider so far.

I am very disappointed with business practices at Hivelocity. I rent a budget server from them and always pay on time.
Last week I received a reminder claiming an unpaid invoice and was threatened twice my service would be terminated if I would not pay. I checked my debits and all hosting invoices were paid.
I noticed they have sent me another invoice for a remote reboot feature for 3$. I have never ordered such feature and I am very surprised they dare to invoice me for a service I never ordered.
Unless this was an error, I find this very shady to be invoiced for items I never ordered - Yet, to be threatened disconnection of paid services. Neither an explanation why i was invoiced for unwanted items nor an apology was offered. They said I could cancel the service ... but why would I need to cancel an order I never made?

This is 4th day i am having network issue on HiVeloCity.
Does anyone else here experiencing the same problem, or its only rack where my server is located?
I am unable to use my server for almost 4 days as i already said, and they still have no solution for me.
Every time i open up a live chat with support, they tell me that they are checking, working on it, having someone see it, etc. but problem is still there.
What should i do?
I am going to post pings from SoftLayer and my home to their main ip (their websites' IP where i see pocket loss as well)
... because of this my websites are opening so slow, and many ppl are complaining about this.
Since there is many experts on this forum i would like advise from you guys.
I would like to stay with HVC if they can fix this, if not looks like i will have to look for another provider.
Softlayer:

It would appear that Hivelocity's networks were incredibly, or portions of them were, from 430 am CST to around 630 AM this morning, and once again, god only knows how long it'll be down this time. 1m files were taking upwards of 1 minute to download and traceroutes 45+ seconds to complete, when one can get in the server that is. Anyone else noticing this? Here's a few traceroutes from inside the network (again, when I can actually get in). Quite latent ...

If any of you are with or going with Hivelocity here are a few things we have encountered today:
We asked to cancel our Virtuozzo lisense at the end of this billing month which would be the 22nd, they then went ahead and cancelled it straight away meaning we had no backups for our VPS clients.
We then asked for them to install windows 2008 server onto our machine it took them from 12pm - 9pm to complete this.
After logging in to our billing system we find a new hard drive added to our server which one we did not ask for and two we do not need adding an extra $150 onto our server bill.
Overall today has been a real pain in the **** with them, yes I agree they are a fantastic host but the fact we have been billed for something we never asked for has completely annoyed me.

I have 3 servers with hivelocity, moved from LT. There where some problems at the setup, no problem, everyone has some problems, we got over them.
Everything was great until this morning.... I check my outlook I see a abuse mail from yahoo for a domain hosted on my shared hosting server(this was at 2:15 AM). Ok, I want to delete it but HOW (this was at 9AM)? The server is down ....
Sent a reboot tiket to highvelocity, after ~20 minutes a guy responses that the server was rebooted and tell him if I have problems later. I try the server... still down, the guy didn't even ping the server to see if it's online after the reboot.
Ok... I reply to the tiket, the server still down, please see what's the problem, I get a response from them to send the server info (user pass) so he can check. Ok, I send the info, I wait... I wait, after 20 minutes I check the tiket.... what tiket ? The tiket was deleted...
I open a new tiket and explain the problem and after ~1.5 hours I get a reply that my server was nulled due to abuse.
Every company that I worked with sent a notice and gived me 24 h to take action... ok, I get over the shok and I tell them to connect my server back so I can delete that account. Of course it would have been to easy to do that, he asked me another ip from the server so he can unull that ip. Ok, after another hour the secondary ip is unulled and I delete the account from the abuse mail and I reply to the tiket.
He replyes that they will verify asap and reconnect my server. 1 hour passed and no reply and the server still down. I open a live chat, tell him my problem after witch he sayd he told tech and they will activate my server asap.
One more hour passed and still nothing. Again open a live chat, same guy, and I ask for a logical explanation why is this taking so long but he just kept telling me that the tech support is "looking into it".
And just to make me even madder every chat session is starting with : "Hello, welcome to HiVelocity's Impressive Support TM. How may I assist you today?"
Now it's 11 hours after the server disconnection and the server is still down just becouse a abuse department guy didn't send me a notification to delete the abusing account.
Hope Steve or any Tech supervisor will see this and take some action. It's not normal to take 2 hours+ to unull an ip adress.
Oh, one more thing. After not geting any logical response from the online chat guy I asked for a email address from a tech superior so I can send a complaint but he just refused to give me one, telling me to post a reply to the support tiket.
I'm asking you WHT users... is this situation normal for a big company like hivelocity ?

I am a webmaster in Hawaii and recently had a massive server upgrade. This was a hugely complicated process, and my host, HIVELOCITY.NET seriously came through for me.
Without any BS extra billing or attitude, they spent 30 days, patiently dealing with my frustrated emails, and ignorance. After 3 years of insanely positive support, they just kicked it over the edge and proved to me that they are the only host I need indefinitely. I have adult and non-adult sites and have required very intensive support.
HIVELOCITY has never tried to tell me "thats not within the scope of our support" like so many other hosts have. (EV1) They always resolve my problems without telling me " I need to learn shell better" or "you need to consider a managed hosting plan or a sys admin" I've heard this from so many BS hosts, it has driven me mad. So I thought i would help everyone looking for a reliable server and post here about my positive experience.
If you want a server thats run by people who care about your business, and show it, try HIVELOCITY.NET

I'd been with hivelocity for 14 months by now and i'm thinking to continue my bussines on there.
I created a thread on the past, this is the thread:
[url]
And this is what i said:
Quote:
What can i say?
They just Rock, Dave and steve are just great.
Dave is my account manager he is helpfull, quickly and very efficient.
i would like to recommend people to join in hivelocity.
They are just more than fine, my server is working great and i had 2 issues resolved.
1 issue in less than 20 mins (another server in the rack was consuming a lot of bandwith)
the other issue was a little more complicated but it has been resolved too, thanks Dave
They have the same problem with support than sharktech (not managed), but if you talk to your account manager or Steve they will take care of it and get the problem resolved in a few minuts, that's just cool.
Service and support for me was really good in one week with they .. i will stay for a long time here if everything goes right.
and if we can, stablish a long term business based on trust (i'm a coder i can help)
Well from that moment to now i can say the following things:
No downtimes, only schedules (maintenence)
No support problems.
I upgraded my server to a quad2core and for 6 months payment, they gove me a second HDD!
I'm sending new customers to hivelocity right now, and trying to start reselling their servers.
¿why do i want to?
Because Steve and Dave, are responsable guys.
Because Network works fine.
Last server i bought for a customer: 1 day setup, no problems. I did a hardware check and it was OK, no HDD failures and TEMPERATURE was the right.
Because they understand if you have a problem.
Because support is there to help, even if you don't pay for "Managed services"
And i think that, they manage customers as well, that you can feel as a part of the company and not just another Argentinian customer.
So, watching the huge financial crisis, i want to give a good review about this company, and try to get more and new customers to they.
I would highly recommend to buy their services, this is not another company this is one of the best companies i ever knew.

I was on WHT when i saw the banner ad of highvelocity and landed on the specials page and saw Core2Quad server. I opened live chat as it said in the banner ad for free stuff and upgrades.
Dave from hivelocity came on chat and we started negotiating and after a while i was offered Core2Quad, 8GB, 750 GB, 500 GB, 1500 GB with 100 mbps etc. for $184. I said okay and asked him to send me the quote so i can buy it in evening or the next day as I had to get approval for the funds from the boss.
To my surprise I got the approval etc. for 3 months pre-pay but I did'nt get the quote from Dave which was prmoised to me by Dave in 1 hour after live chat session. I in evening went agaion on live chat and no response. After waiting alot on livechat i opened a support ticket and it has not been answered till now.
Today i again went on live chat and after 15-20 mins of waiting Ron came up with the following chat we had:

By the looks of this you can imagine the High Level of Support Dave was telling me about. I opened the livechat for a sales staff and a tech support guy is answering the live chat. This is really good!
I've had server with LT, Sago etc. and nowhere I have seen such crap at pre-sale level. How would they expect customer to return to them when they are behaving like this at the first step ?

I've been seeing alot of negative threads about Hivelocity so I decide to post my review.
A little more than 4 months ago I ordered a server on Hivelocity using an offer they posted on twitter, it was a Core2Duo for $75/month and first month for $50. I ordered on the chat and the sales told me there wasn't any package with the Core2duo so he used the next cheapest server to order(Core2Quad q8200, everything else was the same) and wrote a comment saying that the actual server would be a Core2Duo.
I paid the bill, submitted some documents(on June 7) and waited, I had to send a few emails because there wasn't any progress with my order and by June 10 the server was live. When I logged in I realized I was given the Core2Quad q8200, same specs, better CPU
Ever since then I've not needed to talk to support for anything except adding some services(extra IP and 100mb port, both were quickly added and with no problems).
My server has been up ever since:
PHP Code:
uptime
22:49:49 up 127 days, 17:45, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.07
And I've had very little downtime, according to Pingdom 99.98% uptime since June 15:

Their service has been Very Good so far and I've had no problems.
