I'm very impressed with the service I've received. The owner Daniel is a great guy who always seems to be improving things for us somewhere and is amazingly down-to-earth.My order was flagged by maxmind.He approved my order manually.I hope this post will help for all of you guys who are planning to change your vps providers or buy new vps.I highly recommend them.

They make me wait no more than 15 minutes for support responses and I have experienced no downtime whilst being with them. Why does everything have to be so good?
Now, being serious about it:
I ordered my VPS with them two months ago because I wanted to cut down on the amount of servers that I leased. The deployment was completed within about 8 hours, had to wait for good old Otto to be deployed onto the world wide web.
I submitted some issues regarding a bit of drag in the network, slow response times etc and they responded promptly explaining the current packet loss issues with Limestone and all seemed to be resolved within an hour or so.
The ONLY issue I had is that their WHMCS, which might I say is nicely designed right now, forgot to invoice me! Other than that, superb experience all round!
Support: 9/10

I just updated my mod_security rules to version 2 with the new rules from gotroot.com. I simply included them all. I know before with their 1.95 rules I had to sit and delete tons of useless rules as well as having to delete rules that interfered with peoples web apps.
So I figure it may be different with new version. Is anyone here running these rules on a hosting server? Doesn't matter cpanel or whatever, just an average shared server with moistly php/mysql sites.

how often does a colo provider's datacenter go down? I'm not talking about resellers or their racks, but the primary provider itself.
This has been the 2nd time (this year I believe) that my datacenter at NAC has suffered a complete power outage [url], their backups failed, and my entire rack of servers were power-cycled.
Luckily I am not a web host but I am running some critical public web services/sites. I have all of the equipment to manage my own colocated machines from afar (monitoring, remote reboot hardware, and KVM/IP hardware for all of my machines) but I'm dead in the water if my datacenter's power is out.
I always ease my pain throughout a network outage or power outage by visiting DSLReports. Their HUGE website is hosted in the same datacenter (probably in the same room) as me and while it is a terrible thing to say, being able to share the downtime with a bigger fish is easier for me to handle.

if I load a webpage from my server, the browser keeps still loading this page and doesn't finish loading. First if I refresh the page, I get the full page content. Sometimes there is html-data missing, sometimes I get only a part of an image. I tried different browsers and different computers, everywhere the same problem.

This is my Only 5 Day Experience Review:
I bought a "brandnew" Server AS2000 on 06/10/2009, i was looking some reviews here about server.lu but i decided to give it a chance.
I decided order 2 additional IP address, because i wanted to host 2 Websites with SSL support. this is my ticket:
################################################################
06.10.2009 - 18.33
i need additional IP address
07.10.2009 - 13.37
i need additional 2 IP address please.
07.10.2009 - 14.25 (Server.Lu Response)
For what do you need them ?
07.10.2009 - 14.44
2 sites with SSL support.
07.10.2009 - 16.39
you there ?
07.10.2009 - 17.11 (Server.Lu Response)
Hello,
i will create an invoice for these 2 IP's.
These will cost you 10€ setup and 2€ per month each.
Please confirm so we can create the invoice.
Best regards
07.10.2009 - 17.37
ok, its fine
07.10.2009 - 19.23
can i have the ips today ? ...
08.10.2009 - 00.44
Im not interested in the IPS, this take too long for a simple 2 IP request, thanks, and the server is DOWN ...
###############################################################
2 Days trying to get 2 IP address........ while this was going on my server was DOWN
##############################################################
08.10.2009 - 00.10
My Server is dead, no reboot no rescue console works
08.10.2009 - 00.13 (Server.Lu Response)
We are looking after this.
This is not a server issue, but we see alarms on that particular cisco switch serving your box.
08.10.2009 - 00.27
whats going on ?
08.10.2009 - 02.02
this is awesome, server not respond, do you say its some issues related with 'Cisco Switch' and no one can say anything more, i dont interested in your services, please give me a refund, your company is caothic
08.10.2009 - 09.55 (Server.Lu Response)
Hello,
your server is running again. There will be no refund.
Please remind that you opened a ticket at night so respond times are higher than during the day.
Best regards.
###############################################################
when i was able to acces the server after 11 hours i did single "uptime" , uptime 55 minutes, well they lied about the cisco switch or i dont know, but the NEW server without any use was started their first problems.
They refuse to do a refund because they not offer any Refund Policy and they dont offer any Support or any other guarantee, just their Network Uptime.
I looking to find a way to get my money back, because i dont want to be in a company who cant handle fine the products they sell.
They refuse to do a refund and well im working with paypal to do a clamin in the EU with Root S.A.

For the time I had their services, I was very pleased. Every time I had a slight problem with my services, they were ontop of it. I'm proud to be a customer of Server Hostage, and if I still decided to keep my website, I'd continue to use them. My forum is/was MyBB and when I needed my modifications and themes installed, they handled it within minutes. This is definitely getting what you pay for. The other thing I loved about Server Hostage, was its uptime. My site was never down, and I think that's hard to come by. Thank you Server Hostage. My site is under ground wrestling . net with out the spaces.

I recently was looking for a good place to colocation some servers and new clients! Bought a P4 from "JSCL" and the story starts out like this....
Jason and I had talked (yes he and me are two different people) on AIM for about 1 hour and then I decided Jason had the right DC for me and my clients!
So far each question I've had about network, price, data, etc has been fulfilled within 12 hours or less! The day I had my P4 colocated it took a few days because they had a mass order so that time took a little bit but it was quick, faster then what I had expected though!
Jason has given me the best prices for colocation! Now I can offer my clients the best services on the net, I truly do not think there is a cheaper spot that fits my needs!
WOW When I started to play on the server I thought it was a quad core because the network is so DARN FAST! I truly am happy that I had found Jason when I did! I have already managed to have a few people talking to me about getting colocation with me!
It was quite funny because I was nagging at him for a while and I felt really bad because he should be sick of me but ya know he wasn't! Best darn support I have ever seen!
This is only a week review I'll review more after one full month!

When we first got our server (named Angelina) from Burst we were very happy with the server and managed service. However, for the last few weeks we have been experiencing downtime almost daily and sometimes twice daily. Now it has become daily and for hours at a time.
There reason is another server was flooded and was causing the others on the same block to fail. Seems reasonable enough and everyone makes mistakes and has problems. But almost every day for a few weeks now and still no permanent fix?
Our clients are threatening to leave us and we are losing money because of this. I've lost sleep debating whether to post this or not. Since we know that we will not be reimbursed for our losses we hope to prevent others from falling into the same trap.
We are currently looking for a new server/datacenter to more all of our clients from that server. We actually tried to purchase another server from them awhile back but was told they we could not keep up with orders. I'm glad we didn't get it. We cannot continue to let our clients experience this.

I've been with serverpoint.com for over a year now and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Last year I negotiated an excellent price for a dedicated box with serverpoint via PM. They delivered my server promptly and even upgraded my CPU since they were out of stock on the one I had ordered. The few times I’ve had to call support (due to issues on my end) they’ve been prompt and professional.
My only real complaint is I can’t setup automatic bill pay online. They want my to send a photocopy of my CC and a photo ID, which I’m leery of.
I suppose this is a boring review, but in and ideal world isn’t that the way it should be? Who wants a lot of drama with a host provider?

I am aware of the horror stories and pretty much 99% negative rating for 1&1 on this forum – where its related to lack of high level support I agree most other relating to billing I believe the majority is user error (aka incompetence).
With that disclaimer out of the way here is my review
Currently 6 dedicated servers with 1&1 for 1 year now
Downtime in 1 yr due to 1&1 network (less then 1 hr – 0 downtime in last 6 months+) – not sure there is an ISP on this entire board that could claim/match that
Support – have used on occasion and yes it is horrible and virtually non-existent. My theory has always been that in a critical/helpless situation support will cost me $99 which is the setup fee for a new server with them and I will use current backup to restore failed server. In this 1 yr and across 6 dedicated servers (all windows server 2003) I have had one such critical – machine down situation that appeared to be hardware/OS related. Well it was about 5AM in the morning and I panicked and thought OK here we go I am going to be paid back for all this time putting my trust in 1&1 (this occurred about 1 month ago). I thought OK let me at least give support a try (I had not spoken to them in months) – I checked and found out they had a new number so I though OK new number maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Called it spoke to Philippines, calmly explained the server down situation – they verified it and said it would be sent to data center and I would here back via email – not real comforting but I decided to at least breathe easy for an hour or so. Within 15 mins I noticed via my serial connection (an awesome 1&1 feature) that someone was on my server and attempting a rescue image restore, I was kind of stunned with the response time so just waited and monitored it.
Cut to the chase within 1 hour my server was back online no lost data OS running fine and I was informed via email all was restored, no explanation but hey this is 1&1 how much do you expect. I have since called on another non-critical issue and noticed I got right through to a semi-high level technician in USA so maybe just maybe things are turning the corner in this regard.
1&1 PROs after 1 yr experience
-Features/power available in 1&1 control panel – yes I know most hate it and its not the most intuitive but once you find your way around boy does it have some power not the least of which is the immediate hardware reboot option not only to a normal reboot but to a rescue image if needed. This has been a life saver for me countless times.
-Direct serial access to server at all times – once again extremely powerful and allows to you run fully interactive disc check, metadata defrags and more during boot sequence as you have serial access to machine via telnet right from power on sequence.
-Full ftp backup included that is on their lightning fast network
-Full server reimage capabilities
-Full featured firewall configurable from control panel- we’ve never had any ddos attacks others constantly get hit with.
-Full RAID configured dual drive on all machines
-Bullet proof fast network
1&1 CONs after 1 yr experience
-The aforementioned support experience is always a nerve racking experience but so far I’ve been fortunate.
-Lack of ability to upgrade the server components (not a biggie as you can move to a new server if you want to upgrade but would be nice)
That’s it a real review from a 1&1 dedicated server customer, suffice to say I am a competent server/network professional so know how to configure a server correctly so have not needed 1&1 in this regard. I merely need them to maintain the network and hardware integrity nothing more nothing less and that is what they have done for me to this point.
Frankly, I follow this forum almost daily and covet being a Hivelocity customer as in my assessment of the feedback on here they have outstanding customer support and certainly light years better and more professional then I have now but if I had of been a customer of them for last year I would have –
-Paid a lot more per server and still not got some of the features I have standard now (direct serial access, default raid, free ftp backup, immediate reboot and re-imaging power)
-Had considerably more downtime (Freaks me out that they do not operate fully all their data centers and are at the mercy of Sago Networks and their relentless power outages which will always be the case in Florida)
-Slept uneasy every night during the summer whenever a hurricane came within 1000 miles of Florida

I had posted the review a week back but for some reason everything went bazook with WHT.
I lost all my posts but am making an attempt to write the review again of my exp with HG.
Well, I had been with these guys for close to 14 months. I never knew there was bright world beyond HG for dedicated server untill I came to WHT. I had taken a xeon 2.4 with 2 gb ram for $219 everything was fine untill the server started giving me problems off late. It was supposed to be a managed server but these guys had just no clue whatso ever on any kinda problem. The took like close to 12 hours just to figure out the problem which was an issue with fan.
Imagine they were putting the blame game on me till they figured out it was a problem with the hardware(fan). When I went to claim refund for meeting the SLA, they told me that it was my fault and the onus was on me to ensure the server is up and running. WTF? How do you expect me find and why do you think I took managed service if the onus was on me to make sure the server is up and running.
That wasn't the end of my horror story. I don't remember the number of times I had to suffer with restarting the Apache / Mysql and downtime and when I did goto them, they said my RAM usage is too much. Hmmm when I further digged out and I felt cheated when I found out that they gave me a cheap DDR-200 MHZ RAM which is way outdated technology. I was like WTF? All those problems were because of that Cheap DDR-200 MHZ RAM for which they were charging me a bomb.
Imagine they gave me a trash Hardware and charging me a bomb for that crap and they kept blaming me for it.
I scrapped my Xeon 2.8 to Q9550 for a bit more but it was worth it.

I've been building a new services over the last two month and needed a server to host it. I've initially ordered a server at an other provider (which will be getting a very bad review shortly) but after three weeks I still didn't get the server.
While desperately browsing these forums looking for a replacement I noticed a few posts by a server.lu staff member, I've heard some good things about them in the past so I decided to send them a pm with the question if they could deliver a server with the specs I needed. Within 5 minutes I got a response (it was past 00:00 at that point, talk about service). And I think it was about 30 minutes later my server was up and running.
And as an added bonus it was a quad-core instead of the dual-core advertised. What the other provider failed to do in 3 weeks server.lu had done in a matter of minutes.
To see if that was just a lucky coincidence I ordered a 2nd server yesterday and again it was setup with a few minutes.
Server.lu is off to a very good start, my 2 month review will tell you if they can keep it up.

SO the last few months I been trying like crazy to tweak Apache or find a better http setup such as running lighttpd with Apache, etc. I have been frustrated by the way Apache easily fork bombs under any decent load or dos attack. You get about 100 bots all making 30+ connections a piece on Apache and it kills it.
Bot kids have adapted to ddos protection and connection flooding banning by sending low bandwidth attacks that do not make enough connections to get banned if you do have protection, its real low bandwidth incoming but is like a massive vampire attack outgoing. And it destroys Apache no matter what you do, what modules you have, etc. You basically have to go in and manually ban or set your connection tracking limit down to where it starts banning regular users too.
So I seen on here somewhere someone recommending litespeed to someone so I went and checked it out and was amazed by the performance. I installed the trial enterprise in a p4 server I been having problems out of lately crashing all because a busy site and I installed it in my main server.
The only thing I needed to do was compile my own php5 for it, which is real easy via their wiki instruction. After a few snags here in there I finally got it working tip top on both servers, both of which are cpanel.
So with the p4 that was always crashing and keeping hi load, We would end up having to remote reboot that box almost once a week not due to any misconfiguration or wrong setup, just couldnt take all that Apache usage and would die. We instantly noticed a difference with litespeed. The average load used to be about 1-2 always, with litespeed the average stayed about ..2 even under heavy traffic. So this was a big improvement and we have not had to reboot that box since.
My main server which I take my high risk clients on, core2duo 2.4. I thought there for a Lil bit the sites were starting to outgrow the server as its average load always was around 1 which was fairly acceptable seeing the traffic it gets so normal for Apache.
During the low bandwidth ddos attacks I would have to go in and manually ban as well as setting connection limit way down just to keep it from lagging, most of the time it still did. So I was really wanting to do something for this server to optimize http without upgrading, because it seems most of your hardware upgrades are to suit Apache anyway.
So I installed litespeed on my main server, ran into a few snags here and there but eventually got it under control. Just the last few days I got to see it put to the test.
I took on a client who was being extorted by a ddoser who recently got him kicked off his previous host. SO as soon as dns resolves here comes the crapstorm. A low bandwidth http attack, a lot got by ddos firewall on the network level which these are hard to stop because they are so similar to a legit user.
So I started getting hundreds of csf connection tracking blocked emails, was checking the site periodically and it loaded fine. So I logged in the box, looked at the load.
Was at .24. When I done netstat command there was hundreds of syns coming in and about 250 ips all connected about 50 times, this would normally kill Apache no matter what CPU/ram and all that you have. So I set connection tracking down to a reasonable level, 60 connections and I figured I would just let them get themselves banned. Looking in the live stats in the litespeed admin panel which is real cool BTW. I was seeing about 400 requests a second. This was eating a Lil bandwidth, all outgoing as that is how the attack works like a massive vamp attack. So about 2000 connection tracking emails later finally gets em all banned. The entire time the load on that box never even got to 1!
So im pretty much amazed how fast and light this http server is. And especially how well it handles dos. I about know for a fact even if you was on a non protected network it could handle as much http as your pipe will give it, and do all this at a low resource load.
This will end up saving me money on hardware upgrades in the future as well. Long review, long story, but I been so amazed by this http server I had to make a review on it. Im sure some geniouses will try to say "If you do this and that with apache you can make it just as good" But check it out for yourselves and see.

Since ditching the sinking boat known as the USS Hostchum, I found AquariusStorage. Initially I wasn't all that interested in their service as the VPS offerings were something new that Aquarius was doing and I had no clue as to how overloaded their servers were (OpenVZ based). After having the a4 package (1GB dedicated RAM, 1.2GB burst) for a few weeks now, I forget that I'm even on a VPS!
Ryan has been there for everything, even the small issues that he had no reason to help me fix
(unmanaged). From my initial live chat with him, he never lied about any of the specs and went as far as telling me that they had *just* opened up their VPS offerings. Have read plenty of positive things about AS's shared/resellering services and thought meh, lets give them a try. No matter what I throw at the VPS, it handles it as if its a bug hitting the windshield of my rocket.
Support: 10/10, replies were within 30 minutes, if there wasn't a reply then the issue was already fixed. Had a DDoS on the node I was on around midnight, Ryan was up and on the issue before I even got a ticket in to him (I was up late working on the VPS and noticied probably within a minute of the DDoS happening).
Uptime: To date, 100% uptime of the node (with the exception of the DDoS, which was dealt with within 20 minutes).
Performance: WOW! Ryan and the guys at Aquarius sure know how to build a VPS node! Nothing but praise for the service I'm getting. Fairly certain they aren't overloading their nodes either as they have had plenty of time to pack my node to the fullest since I've had service with them, and it still performs just as it did when I bought it, heck its better! Orignal unixbench results were in the 220's, one I ran this morning reported 370
Overall: Ryan knows his stuff and the support is above excellent. If you're looking for a professional host, look no further! Personally, I'll be upgrading to the a6 package as soon as I have a need.

Leaseweb Three Month Review
1 ) Why this review
2 ) Ordering a Server
3 ) Things are running
4 ) DDOS
5 ) 100 mbit burstable @ 8mbit ...?
6 ) beeing d*cks
*Why This Review*
Originally the intention was to forget as soon as possible about what happened in the past three months and to move on with our new isp. To our regret, Leaseweb has besides the overall lack of service in the past months found it neccessary to kill our network connection without notice a day prior to the ending of our contract. Eventhough the impact is minimal, this gesture speaks for itself.
*Ordering a Server*
Having been a leaseweb customer directly and indirectly for several years in theyre budget segment we to be fairly honnest have rarely had any trouble ordering, nor have we had any trouble with the delivery of the purchased servers.
We experienced differently when ordering the following :
Dell Poweredge 1950
2x Quad Core Xeon L5320
16 GB DDR2
4 x 300GB SAS
raid 1+0
IP KVM card
1 x 100Mbps Full-Duplex
10 Mbps (95%) bandwith
SLA : Best Effort
OS : Debian
Ordered 09/30/2008 - payment sent immediatly
summary of the communication exchange ...

Just a quick little review here:
Wanted to let you all know that I am very pleased with service I am receiving from Byethost! Many people think of Byet as just a free hosting and paid shared hosting company, but for awhile now I've been leasing a server and management service from them for io3.us and io4.us. I must say I have been very impressed!
I've received lots of personal attention and consulting to help me determine my needs, and also to make sure I end up with the best solution. Byethost has been very flexible in their solutions for me, and I have really appreciated all they've done!
I recently had to upgrade from a VPS to a full dedicated server, and once again Byethost was there to help every step of the way. The upgrade was literally totally seamless.
They ordered the server, configured it, moved everything over, verified everything with me. Nothing was down, not even for a few seconds. Byethost handled it all, and I didn't have to do a thing! That's what I call service. (Plus, from the time I ordered until the time everything was moved from the VPS to the dedicated server and running fine was less than 2 days!)
Previously, I've said HostGator was my number 1 pick for dedicated servers, but I have to change that now. If you're looking for a dedicated server (with or without management servers), I strongly recommend Byethost.com. You will be doing yourself a huge favor, saving a tremendous amount of hassle by choosing Byethost.
I now have a dedicated server and 10 Mbps dedicated line from them, and I couldn't be happier!
