Quick Review Of Infinitie VPS
Jun 6, 2008
I currently switched from XXX to infinitie.net vps service. I was tired of foreign help dealing with people with poor english. Tech support has been very good, and good response times. Servers themselves have good performance. Not the fastest, but the mysql performance has been very good. It's also nice to have a VPS but setup and stuff can be somewhat intimidating. They were very helpful, but I did opt to pay them a small fee to do it for me. The hourly rates aren't a bargain, but when you factor in the time you would need to do it right, if you are just so-so at it, then it was probably worth it.
So far it's only a week, but it's been a happy week. No downtime at all so far. I'll report to you in a month and tell you how things are going.

Few Days back i purchased a VPS from INFINITIE.NET. I thought of writing a Review for them
The Deal comes from their HostingCon July Special offer. Here is what i got
SPECS:
60GB of Storage
1000 GB Premium Bandwidth
512 MB Guaranteed Memory
Dedicated IP: 3
FREE CPanel/WHM VPS
$21.14/Mo. (Including CPanel!)
Now all in a all, this is a AWESOME Deal which averagely goes over 40$ from most hosts Since it comes with VPS optimized, cPanel isnt a Memory Hog aswell and the speeds are great with very less load.
I opted for Phoenix AZ Datacenter and this is a Random Speed Test.

Sales 10/10
Well, this is what liked about this Host, IT ROCKS Actually i was just running some presale queries and Jennifer from Sales team, guided and cleared all my queries. Since they didnt accept Paypal, she guided me all the way in suggesting alternatives since i didnt had a International Credit Card.
Setup 9/10
WOW, it was fast, considering it was a cPanel VPS. Just 10 mins and i had my details right in Live chat which was going on with Sales Agent.
Network 7/10
I had run some speeds test and i get average of 500KBps Speed which is great
Support 8/10
I havent runned into any big issues at the moment. The Small queries i have been answerable via Live Chat which is mostly online
Hardware 9/10
Since the price were quite low, i wasnt expecting very good perfomance to be honest but i was impressed with VPS Benchmark Test i runned on it. It is better than most hosts and doesnt seem to be oversold in any way

I own and operate a free/paid web-host, Core-Fusion.net. It's changed hands a few times, and it's been through too many server providers (Layered Technologies, ComfortHost.net, Hostgator to name a few). When I acquired CoreFusion, I was a bit nervous on trying to find a decent host to accommodate it's users. After spending some time on WHT (this is really what lead me to creating an account here) I found that Infinitie had posted a deal (120gb hdd vps) for around $30/month. After a google search showed up very few reviews (but positive reviews nonetheless), I decided to grab one before the deal expired. After a bit of testing, and a few day's stability, I canceled with my prior hosting company, and moved CoreFusion to my new VPS.
That was five months ago. I've been a happy customer with Infinitie for five months so far. They've assisted me in fixing problems I caused on my VPS, no matter how in depth the issue was, nor how long it took to fix. The support staff is friendly, fun, and extremely helpful. They're always there when I need them, all my issues are generally resolved within a few minutes. And their prices are amazing... I was able to snatch up a few hot deals through them, but even their everyday prices are competitive.
Infinitie has exceeded my expectations on numerous levels. At first I was iffy, but now I prefer them over any and all past hosts I've ever used. I actually had a great time talking with them over LiveChat the other day, sharing recent experiences with my hosting company, and learning a few things along the way. Jennifer (my support technician) answered all my questions thoroughly, solved my WHM-related issue, contacted cPanel to assist even further, and helped me setup 3 additional servers to the one I currently have. As CoreFusion grows, I know Infinitie will be able to accommodate me with exceptional support and service.
Infinitie.net... The BEST webhosting provider I've ever had the pleasure doing business with. I plan on staying with them for a long time to come.

I recently changed providers after a short search, including input from this thread [url].
I opted to go with a semi-dedicated package from Iron Mountain ( www.imountain.com ). I was mostly impressed with their clustered solution and dedicated mySQL servers to host our increasingly busy Vbulletin forums. They also answered email inquires very quickly; another good sign, given the few comments I could find about them at WHT.
While I was intrigued about the solar-powered claim, I knew that many in our community would appreciate that aspect as well.
Ultimately, I wasn't quite convinced our forum issues were mainly related to CPU/memory resource use. So, I narrowed my search to providers that also claimed to have a good setup for SQL. These included Cartika Hosting and MediaLayer, among others (Thank you to all who responded with input and offers!). At that point, it came down to lowest price and iMountain's offer was also in the upper end of the price range supported by recent member donations. In case I was wrong about the CPU resources, at least this would at least allow some time to save for the dedicated solution that many recommended.
As it turns out, the CPU/memory resources were not the issue at all. It seems that our forum issues at the previous provider were primarily due to their SQL implementation.
In fact, they were going to generously allow us to continue on our $50/year plan for a while given that we weren't yet hogging resources. Nonetheless, the slowdowns and SQL errors continued until the last day. In any case, I can still recommend AddAction.net for anyone looking for a competitively priced basic hosting package if you don't have major SQL requirements. It was inexpensive, but I believe I got a lot more than I paid for.
Since the switch, the forums have been running great. No slowdowns, no freezes, no infinite waits to read/make a post, no flood of SQL error email messages. Most importantly, no user complaints so far. In addition, I've been told that we aren't even putting a scratch in our resource allocations in any area and there should be plenty of room for growth that has been doubling about every 6 months for the last few years.
The transfer was quick and the switchover had minimal downtime given that the new plan included a dedicated IP address for me to direct users of the forums during the DNS propagation. There were a couple minor issues during the switch, but their tech support team responded very quickly. They also helped setup a memcache for the forums and suggested some other tweaks to further improve performance.
Overall, I am very satisfied so far. I'll report again in a couple months when I have a better feel for downtime and more time for users to comment.

We've recently decided to move a sizable web project to a VPS located at bigvps.com (colo4jax). Although I had some initial concerns about them being single homed to Cogent, I have actually been pleasantly surprised at the speeds of the network. I have seen some very good speeds to some of my key servers located on the West Coast and even better on the East Coast (expected). For grins, we even tested a proprietary voip software between the datacenter (It's in Jacksonville) to one of our offices in San Francisco. It was perfect!
The hardware seems solid and support has been quick to respond to any inquiries.
Although we havent moved over the web project yet, the work we have done on the server has been no problem at all. We expect that when we move over the web project, the VPS will continue to hum along.
As with all providers, it's been a short life with them thus far - I'll post back in a few months and let you know how things progress.

I've been a long time reader but I figured I would finally sign up for an account and post a review of my current VPS host, WingSix.com.
Ratings range: 0-10
0 being the worse and 10 being the best
Uptime: 7/10
The uptime has been pretty good. Over the course of six months I had about 1 hour of downtime due to a hardware failure but over the last month I have had nearly 20 hours of downtime due to unexplained outages and migration issues.
Support: 4/10
The support has been horrendous. My average response to tickets is measured in days, if they respond at all, and I still have tickets opened from when I initially ordered the account relating to creeping file corruption which support just dances around. I have also had my IPs changed and server moved twice in the last month with little to no advance notice. Usually nothing actually gets done until I call them and even then it's a crapshoot.
Performance: 9/10
The performance on the server is excellent. The server is primarily a DNS and Mail host for my domains and, so far, I have had no problems with the speed or responsiveness of the service. Take this rating with a grain of salt, however, because I have never done much that would put an incredible load on the server.
Price: 8/10
Their pricing is fairly competitive with other hosts I have looked at. I am currently on their VPS Hawk plan ($25/mo) which offers:
2 dedicated IPs
15 GB storage
400k inodes
100 GB bandwidth
256 MB RAM / 1GB burstable
CPanel
Conclusion
While the uptime, price and performance are good I am hesitant on recommending them to anyone based on my experience thus far with their support
My domain has been reported to the mods.

I another thread recently I done a 5 year review for another provider hover circumstance changed and I took on a couple of Gigenet servers ( relatively high end)
Sales were extremely efficient working with me to achieve what I needed at a price I was comfortable with, replies were fast and concise so I ended up with 2 new machines and backup service.
Normally I don't need a lot of support and for the first few weeks nothing bar rDNS set ups - However I ran into some serious post migration issues over the past few days that had me stumped, support has been some of the best I have ever received both in speed and efficiency -
Anyway I sincerely hope I will be coming back to this thread in 5 years time to update it.

I found this great VPS package on WHT (can't post URLs), and couldn't go past it... Configured, paid for.
Admittedly, it is my fault for making the following mistake. Instead of putting in xdomain.NET, I entered xdomain.COM - I'm buying this website, forgive me for not being completely familiar with it yet :p I figured it shouldn't be much of a hassle to switch this over (I'm not really sure, actually?) to what I really wanted, so I opened up a support ticket. And waited. It wasn't on high priority, rather medium. So I expected to wait a couple of days or so, max.
A week later, I closed that ticket and opened another high priority ticket. Payment had cleared (it was an echeque, so did take a little while), and my server still hadn't been setup. A day passes. Jee, a *high* priority ticket not being responded to? It'd be a shame if it was urgent. I sent off an email - because I'm annoyed and frustrated at about this point. I got a response eventually, saying that it was fine to switch from to my .net, and he'd do that for me. Finally, I was making progress, or so I thought. That was 3 days ago, and I've exchanged emails 3 times so far (each taking a day to respond to) and now finally - my server is in a *queue pending activation.*
Bear in mind that this is a pro-rata billing system, so I'm paying for services starting on the 7th (date of subscription) to the end of the month (31st). It's currently the 16th, payment has been clear for a few days now, and my account is on hold, in a queue pending activation.
Can someone enlighten me, as to why I'm still in this queue? Is this regular practice for VPS suppliers?

I bought a shared linux plan from Infinitie networks last month. Since then I've been trying to contact their support for a few clarifications, but never got any responses so far.
They have a live chat on their site which is not working now. It was working before when I evaluated the service
I've mailed to their support mail id quite a few times. every time i get an automated response saying my ticket was received. that's it no further response.
I took the pain of creating an account in their online community forums and posted my grievances there. No one seems to be bothered.
These guys dont have a support contact number on their site. I really dont know how to reach them now
Any of you guys here had any similar experiences with Infinitie networks?

So after taking advantage of their $19.99 VPS special (60GB/600GB + cPanel/WHM) I was having problems right off the bat. Instead of going into detail for each of my issues and the pain it caused me to get them resolved I'll just touch on some key points of things they really need to look into changing:
1. Support. Yes, I know I'm not paying extra for their priority support, but as of the time I am typing this thread my VPS has been offline for over 4 hours (unable to ping and HyperVM will not let me login). I've sent an e-mail to their "Emergency Support" e-mail and opened a support ticket but with no answer from either.
The worst part about their support setup is that they list on their website that they give clients an option of paying a per ticket fee for enhanced support, but in their support ticket system they neglect to make that option available so even paying for per ticket support isn't able to be done either.
2. Website. I have never seen a business website so filled with incorrect links, missing images, and non-working scripts. Their site throws more 404 errors than it has working links. It's painful to navigate and trying to locate anything is based more luck than anything. Their navigation bar changes the links based on location (main site, forum, or client area). All in all, had their thread listing the special brought me to their homepage instead of directly to the VPS special page I would have closed my browser before signing up.
3. Billing. Not really a big problem but I got my latest invoice for the 31st and found the total to be $23.49 instead of the $19.99 I've been paying. I opened a ticket about it 3 days ago (48-72 hour SLA? Right...) and nobody has yet to address that issue.
I had attempted to cancel my account earlier but one of their staff convinced me to reconsider and even moved my VPS to a server that didn't have the CPU pegged to 100%.
But now with the 4+ hour downtime and no response from their "24/7" support, I just can't cancel my account fast enough. I don't care about a refund or my data on the server; I'll gladly give it all up to be done with them.
I'm not going to make this thread a complete rant so here are some of the positive things I can say about them:
The one glimmer of hope that was offered to me was one of their staff members, JasonS, who provided me with proof that somebody on the other end of the line had a pulse, albeit that somebody was unable to help me out.
Yup, that's the only positive thing I can think of. I guess the price wasn't to bad for what was offered, if only what was offered was what you actually received.
On the brightside, I have since moved to GeekStorage.com and couldn't be happier with their level of service and professionalism!

I`ve read this about allowing certain IPs access to the server
Quote:
More advanced: /etc/apf/allow_hosts.rules
10. As a safety precaution, you might want to add your ip to the '/etc/apf/allow_hosts.rules' file.
Open the file in your favorite editor.
11. Add the ip of your computer to the end of the file. This will cause all traffic to and from that ip not to be filtered. You can also add the ip's of other servers.
If you want to specify what kind of traffic to allow from those ips that is not covered with the current firewall rules (ie. you blocked all traffic to SSH and only want a few ips to be able to access the SSH port), then this is the format you would use:
Protocol : direction/flow : source/destination port : s/d ip
[tcp/udp] : [in/out] : [s=/d=]PORT : [s=/d=]IP
Ex (let the ip 192.168.0.100 access to port 22):
tcp:in:d=22: s=192.168.0.100
What I`d like to know is if its possible to put an IP range in there instead of just one ip address
such as you specify a range in the conf.apf file upon setup
eg:
tcp:in:d=99_123: s=192.168.0.100
where 99_123 is the port range

I signed up with service from infinitie.net after seeing an offer they had on this link [url]
This was on July 21st about 8PM EST. Link above states "PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 2 HOURS FOR YOUR NEW VPS ACCOUNT ACTIVATE ONCE ORDERED."
First reply took 8hrs, second 9hrs, third 5hrs, and to this date I haven't heard back from them since Jul 23, 2007 2:32 PM EST.
Incomplete login details were issued on Jul 23, 2007 2:32 PM EST. However, message stated "CPanel is finalizing its install and will be complete in 2 hours." I immediately asked them to please advise when setup is complete on Jul 23, 2007 2:56 PM EST. After not hearing anything back I decided to cancel and emailed request at Jul 24, 2007 2:54 PM EST.
I have a couple services I'm happy with elsewhere. I more or less just wanted to separate an account and see what other options were out there. I wasn't bothered by the fact setup was slow. The main issue was if they take this long to reply and handle simple issues prior to setup, what happens if I'm setup one day and there is a more serious issue? Since initial cancel request I attempted to contact them on several other occasions by both direct email and their ticket system. I never received a response other then the standard automatic "Thank you for writing to Infinitie's Support Team."
I have disputed transaction with paypal today. At a last attempt I emailed infinitie.net yesterday and told them unless refund was issued this is action I would be forced to take. No response so I proceeded. I will update and let you all know how this turns out.

I am building a server using two Clovertown E5320 processors for a project. I need some suggestions for a motherboard and memory. I have looked at some boards on Newegg, but I'm still unsure. I do not have a large budget for the motherboard, so the cheaper, the better.
If anyone has other processors they would go with alternatively I'm open to suggestions there as well. It was either going to be a single Clovertown (later to be two) or two AMD Opteron 2212's....

I find it worrying when new or relatively new users post "[XYZ]VPS PROVIDER IS A SCAM" or "[XYZ]VPS ROBBED ME" in a topic because they didn't get the instant ticket response or fast enough setup time on their $10 VPS..
I'm planning on setting up a budget UK based VPS service myself some time soon, and users would do well to remember that a lot of hard work goes in to the management and set up of such providers. This kind of negative publicity can not be taken back once posted. A quick google search will throw this kind of a post up and cause irrepairable and often, completely unnecessary harm to a business..

During the past 24 hours, two things have happened with iMountain.com that I wanted to let you all know about.
1. I uncovered a bug in the Webshell application that they use (bundled with Hsphere) which was preventing me from gzipping up my and my buddy's owsweather.com site for weekly backups. Reported it in an email, and in 2 minutes I had a reply back saying that they would notify Hsphere of the issue since it's a bug in the software. Good job there.
2. The big one is that the same owsweather.com site is getting clobbered by HUGE amounts of traffic - more than we ever have in our 8 year history. We have received over 2500 unique IP visits since midnight (it is now 5 minutes until 6:00 am PDT in California).
I must give major props to iMountain for building rock solid servers which don't bog down under high traffic load, and also for allowing us to "use" their servers for what they are INTENDED to be used for! If it wasn't for them and allowing our site to have bursts of traffic like this *see Dreamhost, Bluehost, and other similar reviews*, we would be in a very tight spot indeed. So thanks Brandon and crew. You have done us well.

I'm about to purchase a 2nd server to be used as a database/app server alongside my current server (of which will be the web server).
I wish to use 2 x 146GB 10K SCSI hard disks (in RAID 1) on the database server, but will be keeping 2 x 320GB SATAII 16M in RAID 1 on the web server. Will the SATA hard disks affect the performance / effectiveness of the SCSI disks or will I benefit from SCSI even though they're only in the database server?
Also, I'm going for 10K hard disks over 15K because they $20 per month cheaper and it's already expensive ($150 p/m for the two 10K or $170 p/m for 2 x 15k). Taking into account the already hefty price, is it worth the extra for 15K?

We've been experiencing a lot of trouble with novice customers that want to install an Application Vault package that has sub-optimal default settings, e.g.
customer wants to install wordpress, clicks on Application Vault -> wordpress -> "INSTALL"
This will install, without any questions for settings, wordpress into domain.com/wordpress - which is not what people want. I know that there is a button with teh drop down menu that shows "custom", however, people don't see/know about it and click "install".
Is there a way to remove / replace the "quick install" button and have the "install custom" as default.

Anybody ever use Infinite.net before? I was under the impression that they have 24/7 support but it's been 28 hours and have yet to see any signs of life on their end.
When I was submitting pre-sales tickets I would get a reply in 9 minutes.
And when I first opened my support ticket I received a reply in about 50 minutes telling me to contact cPanel to setup a Reverse DNS record for their server ().
Now I'm sitting close to the 29 hour mark and they have still failed to add a trailing dot to my PTR record which is preventing my main ISP e-mail from receiving any system generated e-mails.
I've only been a customer for 4 days so I have time to get my refund, but I was wondering what kind of experience others have had with them before I do yet another host move...

MonkeyWrench Hosting review - Three year review
I've been hosting my personal sites with MonkeyWrench Hosting for around three years now (coming up in January I believe), and I figured I'd share my experiences with them!
I've gone through a few hosts in my time, and some of them have been pretty rough. After using paid hosts, a niche free host started up that I stayed with for around a year before they eventually closed down.
I switched to MonkeyWrench Hosting at that point as a place to host my sites and store my files, and I have to say that I've been impressed throughout the time I've been with them.
Uptime/speed:
Fantastic! The sites have been perfectly reliable and speedy whenever I've gone to access them, and I haven't had any complaints from users. I did come across MySQL going down on one of the servers (I have two accounts for different purposes that are on seperate servers) in the past, but it was resolved quickly before I even needed to get help.
Support:
I've used the support a few times, but not for anything critical since there's not been the need. However, everything that I have asked was answered promptly in a professional manner.
Pricing:
Again, no complaints here. The pricing is pretty cheap, especially for the quality of service receieved. They aren't the cheapest on the Internet by any means, but you generally get what you pay for. I'm aware of what my realistic space/bandwidth needs are anyway, and I'd rather pick a host that clearly advertises what you'll receive over an 'unlimited' host.
All in all, MWH have been a fantastic choice and I couldn't have hoped for anything better.
So, thumbs up to Jonathan, and keep up the good work!
I'll report my domains for the moderators to check them out. =)

I've been very happy with Virpus since I joined. There was 1 issue that has plagued me since the beginning and that was that I was not receiving e-mails on my ISP e-mail, my main e-mail. Not to big of an issue except that I didn't get any news updates or know when my tickets were replied to, or even when I was past due on my bill. 3 tickets later and their solution was for me to use another e-mail address, which was kind of a pain for me since each of my e-mail addresses has a specific reason which only specific e-mail get sent there for organizational reasons.
First off I have to say the VPS I was using was top notch. It easily outperformed my LiquidWeb VPSs and quickly became my primary VPS instead of my backup like was intended. I took advantage of one of their specials a while back which was a 512MB RAM cPanel VPS for $19.50/month which is a steal since the cPanel license alone is $15/month!
So now to why this is probably my final review of this company. Communication is lacking greatly. It was good at first, but now it's non-existant.
Over the weekend all my sites went down and I had no idea why... because I never got the e-mail saying they were moving data centers (if it weren't for a small thread on WHT I would never have known). I also did not receive any updates on extending their ETA so yet again I had nothing to tell my clients. The only good thing was that I run a free hosting company (Host2x.com for reference) and I offer no uptime guarantee since it's a non-paid service.
Ok, so the sites are back online and everything is working nicely... well I recently hit the 70% mark on my disk space usage so time to start looking for an upgrade. I created a ticket on April 23rd asking if they would allow me to upgrade my plan to their biggest VPS plan and to my surprise I never got a reply. I would think that a billing ticket asking to upgrade to a plan that costs more without the transfer of the discount I'm receiving would be a welcome ticket for them to reply to, but I was incorrect in thinking this. So I ended up purchasing a dedicated server last night because I cannot wait to see if they will assist me with upgrading my account or not.
