This is my review of Spry shared hosting. This is a negative review
I bought a shared hosting account on Saturday when i noticed a problem. It said DNS Server reports a failure so i just though it was normal but i waited 72 hours and guess what it still does not work. They attempted to fix it and said it was fixed but did not even to bother to check my site to make sure it worked. The support is slow and they will not reply on Saturday or Sundays. The main con was the the broken DNS server. Just as a note accounts are hosted on a VPS not a server because in cpanel it says VPS Optimized. They did however refund me.
I am having issues with spy hosting. I signed up for a shared hosting account on Saturday the setup was fast but DNS will not resolve my domains. I get this error when doing a DNS Traversal
ns9.dnscloud.com [66.249.19.217][Broken DNS server: Reports a server failure]91ms
ns10.dnscloud.com [66.249.19.218][Broken DNS server: Reports a server failure]92ms
What is this?
I made a ticket and NO REPLY AS OF YET!
What is going on spy. Has spy gone bad i though they use to be legit?
last month i came here asking about a VPS provider to replace my shell provider that died, i was on a very tight budget and ended up with VPSLinks smallest package, Link-1, 2.5gb disk space, 100gb monthly bandwith, 64mb ram, 1 dedicated ip, all for $7.95 per month.
I signed up, the setup was done before i managed to get to the login panel (must have been instant). There i was presented with OS choices, i choose debian. 10 seconds later my VPS was online and ready for me to connect with SSH. Very good
Setup - 10/10
Installed all the stuff i need (My IRC server, my bouncer, and bitlbee gateway) this takes up about 60mb ram (few, just inside the limit) and all was well.
Networking is the only problem i have with VPSLink so far, there are odd lag spikes every now and again that last around 20 seconds, there was also just under an hours downtime this month. The administrator in vpslinks IRC channel had this to say.
[lylev] No, I cannot. I did just receive word from our network administrator that one of our racks main switches died, but instead of dropping connections, it created a routing loop, overloading the rest of the network. That one rack has been taken offline, so the rest of the network is back up, but some clients will still be down.
There is real room for improvement with networking, so i'm giving it 5/10.
Customer support was pretty nice, the representatives in the IRC channel are quick to reply with informative answers, links to pages with more information, they also have a large wiki with various configuration examples and tutorials. I can't give them 10/10 because i didn't really have to deal with the customer support that much, i only asked one or two questions, so i don't know how they'd be with more in depth questions. On that basis i give customer support 7/10.
So that really puts us at an overall rating of about 7/10, not bad at all really for $7.95/month.
I'll do another update at the 3 month mark, hope this is useful
I have a spry vps, and is great. But have a major problem with a directory script, that no-one can work out the cron error's ,the author or hosting company!
So I was thinking of moving to see if their might be a set up problem from the host? A resource, or a script that not running properly. But I've read the posting and from a whole spry has been great, and cheap, but no one is talking about them?
Anyone here using MonkeyWrench Hosting for their sites? I've found a couple reviews online but nothing too informative. I need a cheap small package and they have one that suits me.
Reasons I'm considering them: 2.5 yrs in business 823 days monitored uptime on webhostingstuff.com currently 178 total domains as reported on the webhosting.info webhosts reports page (not too big but obviously not new to the game) quite positive reviews thru google
Reasons I'm not totally sure yet: cheap prices lack of reviews on this site good or bad (as cheap as some of their packages are I would have expected more reviews of some type on this site)
Has anyone had a particularly bad (or particularly great) experience with LiquidWeb? I'm considering switching to their shared hosting, and want to hear if anyone has had any problems with them.
I was looking at ovh.co.uk and there prices seem to good to be true and searching webhosting talk it says no results found. so does anyone have good or bad reviews about them?
i found a nice ovh server which is a quad core with 8 gb of ram on a 1 GBps port. I saw a few reviews and i heard people say that they will lower your speed or something. What i need to host is a game server which uses a lot of upload. At least 10 mbps at MOST excluding users that have to download a 5 mb file. Perhaps if i tested my upload on speedtest.net if i had a ovh server that is on a 1 gbps port. What would the upload be?
i have registered on Mochahost.com to Get a VPS, the prices are very good and the Datacenter is " Theplanet.com ". i need your reviews about Mochahost.com if any body is or was a customer on it.
note : they told me that i'll get the VPS after 24 hours is it normal or what?
Anyone here used Midphase? Over at WHT you can find as many negatives as positives for almost anyone you chose. Anyone at Sitepoint used them? I'm very cautious about switching and have checked into several web hosts. I would stick with the one I have now, but server load spikes seem to come at the worst times and stay around for hours.
where can I search for reviews. I searched for reviews in the search area of the site but did not get any on Websitepalace.com. If you know or have anything to say about Websitepalace,
does anyone here host with Peer1 or ServerBeach (same company)? I see their advertisements here at WHT non-stop, but I have yet to see any reviews, positive nor negative.
I'm with ASmallOrange ( ASO - www.asmallorange.com ) already for more than one year. I have to say I have been very happy with the quality and service I have received.
SERVER Server is very reliable. Yes, I encountered some issue months ago, because some DNS attack and password issue on ASO's staff, but they handle the situation very good and they was honest about it.
SUPPORT Their support is fantastic. Actually, I seldom contact support since everything is okay, but when I did, their reply is fast and prompt.
COMMUNITY FORUM They have good and active community forum.
PRICE Their price is reasonable. Yes, ASO do not offer "unlimited" but their prices compared to quality is okay.
MY SITE: Since it is required, my site with ASO : www.midave.com
I know they have started in just 2009, still there could be users who would like to share their review,
was lookin their plans for one of my friend, their plans look good
may be even impressive but after the mess around with the newly dooming/scam hosts such as hostchum, sarora, resellerways, it makes me think more than twice before selecting an host
See, I don't wish to raise up a discussion on the hosts again, its just my way of lookin at those recent dumb hosts which let lots of users in pain, including one of my dear friend.
I know its good to think twice, but it has made me lose faith really badly in the hosting industry thanks to the kiddies and scam hosts, to gain confidence back in the hosts might be a real tough buy
I know serving, wiredtree are still around but I am referring to the low-budget hosts..
I have seen the odd one or two reviews on MoxieHosting dating back a couple of years ago. Are there any latest reviews that people might have on MoxieHosting?
i place my first order with resellerways.com around 2-3 month ago but on that time their servers have many problem and goes down and etc but actually i should say Mike management is really nice and after 2 month i place new order with resellerways and when i check their servers i see they are really changes all things and have really excellent servers with fast speed.
Since moved to Seattle area 2 years ago, I searched for a Supermicro-server-built vendor closed to Seattle. I found some, but their pricing seem expensive. Some others are very slow in response, even from other WHT users, they seem good. Recently, contacted Scott Lee at Kerbo System, and I believe I have found a good one.
As usual, I sent a lot of pre-sales questions. Scott is very nice, to answer all questions with details. He shows a good experience in server hardware building. Then, I decided to order a new dual Nehalem system with them. Transaction went smoothly, and I have server on time. He even took some photos of servers for me, before shipping out, so I can show to customers. He also noted down for me all series numbers of all parts in server, so I can keep track, in case something wrong.
At first, I am not very impressed with their home page, but please don't let you down. Drop Scott an email with your requirements, or what you are going to do with server, he will reply with his advice, what he's thinking the best in your case. A good service, especially for business likes ours, not in the US.
So, a short reviews about Scott Lee and Kerbo System. I would highly recommend them to anyone needs Supermicro servers in the West coast.
Scott, thanks for a good service. We are looking for a long term business relation.
I've searched through this forum and only eleven threads about "BlueTurbo" show up. Does anyone have experience with this company, specifically regarding their support, network performance/uptime, and hardware?
