Praise For VectorLevel
Oct 23, 2008
I recently moved over to VectorLevel and I couldn't be happier.
They migrated all my files over for me. The whole feel of my board is much snappier.
They are very courteous and professional. I would recommend them in a heart beat. I even had a problem that had nothing to do with them or what they did. They were patient, and took the time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. (I am clueless when it comes to a lot of web stuff.) They walked me through every step.
I took a realistic look at my file sizes and decided to I didn't need to have all that drive space that never gets used. I wanted a company that took an honest approach to their business plan, offered good prices and good service. VectorLevel really seems to fit that bill. At this point, I am very happy I made the change.
If your looking to make a move, give VectorLevel a close look. I know I am glad I did.

A few days ago my server started to receive a bunch of Input/Output errors. I scrambled all over Google to find out what the problem could be and most pointed to a failing hard drive.
I contacted ThePlanet roughly 4 hours after I first saw the problem and they recommended that run a few diagnostic programs on the hard drive to find out if there were any problems. I agreed and we picked a good 4 hour time frame to do the work.
Luckily for me this was the 2nd hdd on the server, but the downside was its a 200GB that I am using 165GB. So I tried to do backups and at about 35% done, the 2nd hdd became virtually unaccessible.
ThePlanet started the diagnostic at roughly 12:00pm PST and updated me nearly every 10 minutes on the progress. At 12:50 they indicated that the hdd diagnostic wasn't able to find any problems, then rebooted the server. I'm not sure what they did, but after the server came back up after roughly 5 minutes the 2nd hdd is working perfectly fine.
So i'd like to send out some praise as i'm very happy that the hdd is working again, and I'm happy with the updates and professionalism with ThePlanet.
I've had some rough times with ThePlanet, but the majority of my situations have been resolved in a timely and professional manner. Thanks again TP for saving my butt!

I had one of those issues that takes hours on a Saturday night/Sunday morning (of course!) while your eyes blur, hair gets pulled out, snippets of code and 'fixes' are scattered all over various desktops. No amount of examining configurations, comparing set ups, searching the web, checking forums, and generally getting so overheated that your brains are running out of your ears was resolving anything.
Basically, I was brain dead.
I opened a support ticket with cPanel and, later, was asked for my feedback, which I provided. I enclose a copy of that feedback here, in it's entirety ...

I want to let folks know about the uncommonly good experience I had working with Fluid Hosting and Dave Tong. I also want to thank the WHT users who suggested FH to me. I understand this is my first post and some may want proof that I'm not a shill. I'm happy to provide that verification.
I had made two very large mistakes in a row by choosing IPOWER initially, and IXWebHosting secondarily for my webhosting needs. I quickly discovered that 90% of IXWeb's support staff is offshore and really isn't particularly interested in fixing issues or even responding to Tickets in a timely manner.
It took over two weeks for them to diagnose the sporadic slowdowns my site was experiencing to an overloaded MySQL server. This poor server was barely able to stay available for more than 2 days at a time and was processing well over 1300 queries per second. And so, on Friday afternoon I called and asked what it would take to get my database moved to a new, less busy, DB server and my webserver pointed there. I was assured it would be a matter of hours.
Two days later, at 4AM, I contacted Dave at Fluid. He explained my options and I signed up. I was astonished to find competent tech/admin personnel manning a support chat at 4AM on a Sunday.
By 12:30PM that same day, my site was up and running. I simply cannot say enough about the level of service Dave provided, as well as the courtesy he showed me when I asked many stupid questions during the transition. I would recommend Fluid whole heartedly.

I've been hosting with VectorLevel for almost a year now after signing up with them when they were just starting off. I enjoy drawing and put up comics and other artwork on my site (1000oclock.com) and for what I've been doing, everything has been great. I haven't noticed any downtime and it's a huge plus that they're a local company so I get personalized service.

Domain reported.
Orien & crew has always provided great service - definitely went above and beyond on helping me get a CGI script working, even though
they really didn't have to
I also absolutely love DirectAdmin's DNS management - unlike cPanel's piece of crap, you can set A/AAAA/PTR/CNAME all by yourself - espescially CNAME. DNS hosting makes my life much easier managing other domains.
I don't think it's gone down so far, and pages are always fast to load.
Support - 10/10
Value - 10/10

My website is [url]
After the recent "scandal" with RS.net, I was one of many looking for a new host. Orien had responded to one of my threads (important to point out he never solicited me in any way), so I decided to check out his host. After speaking with him briefly, he seemed like a great guy and the service was just what I was looking for, so I signed up. He allowed me to sign up on a "refugee" code (LOL) so I got my first month free.
Ever since then it's been great working with him. He's assisted me with any issue I've had with my website -- even if it was not related to the hosting. He's helped me with scripts and permissions and settings I did not really understand. He's also been a joy to talk to outside of business communication.
So, Orien, thank you very much for all of your hard work! This has been the best service I've ever recieved, not just with webhosting, but with anything. You've truly earned your reputation here and I look forward to continuing with VectorLevel.

I plan on opening a local website that will have a forum on it. I think the forum will mostly have members from my area, neighbors basically. I live in Irvine, California and thus wanted a local hosting company. It was really by random chance that I bumped into Vector Level which I found out is based in Irvine as well. Their plans look very reasonable for what I need, just a small forum basically. Speed is important and their website loads pretty fast so that's good.
I've already given them a call and a guy named Robert answered a lot of my questions. Before I order an account, can anyone comment on them? current customers? I searched and found a few reviews but they were a few months old so I don't know if they are still hosting with them. I understand they are a new company which is why I wanted to do my research more thoroughly before ordering.

I've been with VectorLevel (vectorlevel.com) for about six months now -- after leaving Reliable Site during that fiasco I'm sure many of you remember -- , so I thought it was time to write up a new review. For verification, my website can be found at [url]
There isn't much that I can say about them, and that's a good thing. Most lengthy reviews end up being negative ones; there's plenty of ways things can go wrong, but not many ways in which things can go correctly.
Every time there is a problem, Orien retroactively corrects it. I remember that he voluntarily gave me a month's credit simply because they were moving servers and the DNS had to propagate again.
Orien has helped me do a lot of things that aren't necessary for him to do. He's helped me with CSS, given me feedback on my website, helped me install and modify software and has overall just been a great friend. I couldn't ask for anything else and I honestly feel privileged to be his client.
For the relative pittance I am paying, the service I receive is almost criminal. I feel confident in saying that absolutely nobody can match VectorLevel's service, period. For as long as this host exists, I will be their customer. I wish I had more to say, but that's really all there is to it. I've recommended this host to everyone I know, and now I'm passing that message on to everyone here.

I has one blog which hosted on Bluehost for 2 years now. My blog is base on drupal, the content is less than 100M, and has 1K unique visitors per month, use around 300M data transfer per month. My problem with bluehost is quite "normal": site went down without reason, sql database disappeared sometimes, site banned for exceed cpu usage limit, ...... So it's time to move on.
I would like to build one more site in the new year along with my blog. Since the new site will be mostly hosting flash games, I expect far more bandwidth requirement than my personal blog. And my budget is under $10 per month.
So far I narrow down my choices to following six:
1. Nearlyfreespeech.net
100M Storage $1 per month, 1G Transfer $1 per month
2. Vectorlevel.com
1G Storage, 10G Transfer / $5 per month, Extra Data Transfer: $1/GB per month
3. TotalChoice.com
2.4G Storage, 80G Transfer / $5 per month, Extra Data Transfer: $2.5/GB per month
4. doreo.com/
2G Storage, 60G Transfer / $6.99 per month
5. Medialayer
500M Storage, 10G Transfer / $9.95 per month
6. Servage.net
510G Storage, 5010G Transfer / $6.45 per month
Medialayer seems has pretty high reputation here in WHT, but it's a little expensive to me for only 10G data transfer.
Vectorlevel is young and very Medialayer alike. 10G/$5 month data transfer seems right for me. But as it's a new company without proved track record, I'm not sure whether they will still be good in years. ( But I really like their "Do what you want" attitude.)
TotalChoice.com and doreo.com both offer more than 50G Transfer per month which is good if my site become popular in the future. And both two seems don't have complains here which is also a good sign. But last time I checked, one site hosted on doreo is hosting with other 308 sites on one server, and a totalchoice one is with 203 other domains.
Though both are acceptable ( comparing to my site on Bluehost server with other 908 domains, or STEADFAST.NET one with 2048 other sites), but still seems a little too much. And doreo's $6.99 plan only allow 1 MySQL db which is also limited to me.
Nearlyfreespeech.net is a cost-efficient option for my current requirement, but will not scale well if site become popular in a long term.
Servage, yes, there're tons of complains about how servage sucks, but since two sites:
freebreakgames.com and Mooktown.com are both hosted on Servage, one hosted with 46 other sites one with 19 other sites, and both two sites are stable, so I add this one as backup option.

I finally decided to go with vectorlevel after my last topic and researching some more and I'm completely amazed by how seamless the process was. I signed up on nov 5th and got my account information in a few minutes. Now I'm pretty knowledgeable about all the new technology stuff such as computers and tvs, but I'm pretty much a newbie in web hosting. I have always wanted to start a personal blog but had no idea what I needed with domains and hosting. Vectorlevel assisted me with getting my own domain (woot) and showed me how to install wordpress with "Installatron" which was pretty cool. My blog loads very quickly almost just like any of those big company websites like google.
