After a long time searching for a company with good service and a sharp price I finally found it. I have a small business, mostly I earn my money by designing websites and helping small business customers with their computers / network. But many customers ask me to host there sites. Because I want to offer my customers enough space for little money I needed to find a good company who offers a dedicated server with good service!
I found a company calling ServerBoost (serverboost.nl). They have the best service and low prices!
In the beginning I had troubles with one of the websites I hosted. They helped me searching for the problem (some script was sending out spam). I send them an email after 12 o'clock in the evening and even then I got an answer within a few minutes.
I signed up at Server Boost as I was looking for a friendly and reliable European dedicated server provider who could host my content.
Before signing up, I contacted Server Boost’s live support. The live support representative Jelle was very helpful and answered all of my questions.
I was later contacted by email that the server I applied for wasn’t available, however after some more discussion; a solution was reached where I received a better server than the one advertised. After paying with PayPal, I received access to my dedicated server immediately.
During my time at Server Boost (September 2008 to April 2009) I had no downtime and speed wasn’t an issue. I was also happy that they provided a 100Mbit uplink by default due to the heavy traffic of my sites.
Due to lack of funding I had to cancel my contract with them, however when I have the money I will host my site at Server Boost again.
I moved to a dedicated server company called ServerBoost (serverboost.com) which was hosted in Nederlands. I looked at the offers ,they were good then I pressed on Live Chat and I started to speak with the Sales Assistant. I asked what can he offer for 100 euros and he said a dual core server,4 gig ram and NO SETUP FEE. Next, I asked how much extra is it for 1gbps internet and he said he can upgrade to 1gbps for FREE! I decided I would buy the server, the server was supposed to be delivered the next day but there were some problems and it was delivered the day after. Due to the 1 day delay ServerBoost upgraded my CPU from a dual cure to a XEON Quad Core 2.4 ghz. I was very happy with the service provided at ServerBoost.
I would highly recommend it as their services are excellent and relatively good value.
This is my first review regarding a dedicated server prodiver, so forgive me if i miss anything.
We are a small web hosting company located in Greece and after many years in a Greek Datacenter, we were seeking for a reliable provider with Managed Dedicated servers. After a lot of search here in WHT, we came through ServerBoost which is located in Holland.
Sales: Jelle was very patient during our talks, although we were just researching at the time being. A really nice guy and a true professional, answered all my questions as I was skeptic regarding the migration, or details of our contract and service. ( personal fears :p )
Support: They say the first impression is the most significant and I must admit that mine was pretty good. Starting from the Server migration ( From 2 old/slow servers to a brand-new Dell one. ) which went really smoothly from ServerBoost part, taking the downtime to minimal time!
Our SLA contract has a specific time window for support requests but it hardly takes over some minutes or 1-2 hours to get a response ( regarding the time of the day of course! ) and Jelle is always there when i need to ask something.
Hardware/Network: Our Dell server is running really good, and the network is really reliable as "promised". Good speeds and ping ( from Greece ) which is important for our customers.
Conclusion: For me, having dealt with only one foreign company in the past for hosting ( US ), ServerBoost is the ideal one to do business with, because they look really "caring" about our business and their flexibility is priceless.
I'm looking forward using ServerBoost for a long time, really satisfied! :-)
Pricing: A little more expensive than some other NL hosts but you get what you pay for.
Setup: Total setup time was 3 days after payment (the server was a custom setup), because we had to wait an extra day for the setup Jelle gave us a free upgrade (better CPU and HDDs) which was amazing seeing that the setup period wasn't that long anyway.
Uptime: In the past 7 months we have had 2 small bits of downtime, 1 was scheduled - when they upgraded their datacenter and the other was due to a RAID card failure, which was promptly replaced in less than an hour. Their network is faultless.
Support: We only have the free SLA yet Jelle responds within minutes, and his responses are always friendly and professional. However I haven't needed to contact support outside of business hours so I cannot vouch for that, but during business hours it's top notch.
Overall: I can't recommend ServerBoost enough, I'm 110% pleased. We/I have 5 servers in EU each with different providers and ServerBoost is by far my favourite and the one I recommend most.
A lot of ppl at WHT probably already used/using their dedicated servers, including me. There's already a few reviews of their dedicated offers here at WHT, but as far as i can find, there's no reviews of their shared offers.
I was looking for some quality/high uptime shared EU hosts lately for some of my low consuming websites, there's a bunch of offers, but probably just a few of all EU shared offers at WHT are let's say good. One of them is serverboost.co.uk.
So, here it goes a quick review:
Account activation: Fast, < 1h. Hardware: Fast, brand servers. Network: Fast, Netherlands (We Dare DC). Support: So far, there were no issues to contact their support, but i doubt it's bad in any way. Price: The price is fine, their prices equals the quality of their services.
This is a 2 months update for serverboost.com hosting and i must say i was wrong when i said they are a gold hosting, because they are more than a gold hosting. I am sorry serverboost because i said that, they are your only friends in the time of need. When everything goes wrong in your website this the adress you need to remember and this only. So i thought to myself wait this is not gold. this is more than that. This is friendship and it worth more than gold. I feel like i am home , its your new family and this is worth mre than gold pireod. Experience 10/10 Bandwith 10/10 Availbility 10/10 Support 10/10 They use a datacenter in Netherlands on We-Dare network.
