Hivelocity And Europe/South America
Jun 2, 2008
I'm one of the Layeredtech "future refugees" looking for a new hosting. I have a AMD Athlon 3000+ 1GB RAM + 2 160GB HDD's and last week I started looking at LT specials to upgrade our server (1 website only, huge traffic). I'm glad that I got the "Price Hike" increase before :-)
After looking at all the posts in the forum about unmanaged providers I really like the prices and reputation of Hivelocity, but I'm not so sure about the speed of their network.
The website is in Spanish (I'm from Spain), and we got 50% of our visitors from Spain, 45% from South America and the rest from all over the world. I tried their download tests and they were slower than LT (from Spain), with the pings 20/30% higher and the traceroute has like 5 more hops.
Any experiences from European/South American customers of Hivelocity?

Most of my traffic is in South America (argentina). I need a VPS with lots of cheap (500GB-700GB) bandwidth available, plus maybe 1-2GB of RAM. Having a VPS as close to Argentina as possible might work well.
I think maybe VPS from Texas might work?

I run a UK based GSP which has been successful in dedicated server packages.
I'm looking to expand over to south Carolina / greenville / anywher near Clemson uni. Personal easy access to the machines is a must have.
Can anyone recommend some providers in these areas. I prefer the 'personal' service over the mass scale providers.

I am currently renting a dedicated server in North America with the following specs:
Processor : INTEL Core2Duo E6400
Memory : 2048MB RAM Standard
Bandwidth : 10Mbps Unmetered Bandwidth
Control Panel :PLESK 8.3
I would like something similar, but in the UK (or near by), and closely priced to what I pay now.
For the complete package above, I pay $250/month.
Does anyone know of a great service across the ocean which has similar services, for a great price? I don't need the full 10mbit line, a 5mbit line would suit my needs. I would prefer Plesk, and at least 2048MB of ram. The processor should be comparative.
My website is 100% Vbulletin, and is quite large in size (hence the server requirements).

I'm the proprietor of a high-bandwidth site, and obviously, it's important to me to get the cheapest bandwidth possible. I've looked around, and it seems like European web hosts provide cheaper prices than North American hosts.
However, most of my users are in North America. Will a server in Europe be able to deliver the full available bandwidth to users in the US? If not, how much of it should I expect?

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.

1. What's hivelocity's quality/latency like
2. How can Hivelocity be profitable at that rate?

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 ...
