VpsLand - EX-brillant Hosting Services
Apr 21, 2008
I've had a VPS from vpsland.com for a while now, but for the past week the services I've recieved are absolutely abysmal.
My server just went *off* - no clue, no trace. Then after repeated requests the server comes online, and just BARELY. All my websites, and the control panel (plesk) are offline. In fact even the virtuozzo control panel (on port 4643) is offline.
No credit, no apologies, nothing. Quite ridiculous.
I'll be shifting elsewhere. Any suggestions? I need a VPS around $50 a month - excellent services necessary.

Has anyone looked into hosting on Amazon Web Services EC2? It seems to me that a Elastic Compute Cloud node would be a far better solution than a VPS or a dedicated server.

I bought a hosting package from Yahoo Small Business India.
Initially i was happy because the package was cheap and had good features. Database was easily set up I installed php admin tool also with one click install. No other packages are available. One has to manually upload and install.
I tried to upload phpbb but i wasn't able to upload some files. I emailed them and asked why the server gives an error while uploading .htaccess files, the reply was we don't support it. I uploaded it without .htaccess and installed it. I installed wordpess and wanted to have clean URLs but yahoo does not support mod rewrite. I don’t know much about php and databases.
9th July 2008: While I was learning I modified some tables due to which my database administrator permissions were lost. I was able to login using phpadmin but unable to create new databases and modify previously created databases and tables. I emailed customer care regarding the problem and got a useless reply on 10th July that I should change the password of the database administrator.
I changed the password but the problem was not resolved. On 11th I again emailed the problem in detail with screenshots to the customer care. On 12th, I got a reply “we have forwarded this issue to the technical team and we will inform you once this issue is resolved.”
On 12th I emailed to ask when the problem will be resolved but got no reply from them. Till date (15th July) the problem is not resolved. No one even wants to reply to emails.
See below my emails and replies given by yahoo customer care:

My email to yahoo customer care on 9th July:
I have some problem with database. By mistake i modified my original user name which i created while setting up the database. Now i can't access the tables that were created with previous user name. When i log in using phpadmin and try to see any tables i get the message. Access denied. Moreover, I also cannot create any new tables. I have NOT modified the yroot user;. Can it be recovered.
Please help.

My email to yahoo customer care on 10th July:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your reply. I have already done that from database administrator link but the problem is not resolved. This problem has started since yesterday because of my mistake. I modified the original database administrator "user name" from the database "mysql". After modification all my permissions have lost. I have not modified the yroot user. So can you grant the administrator permissions to new user The problem is that after logging in using phpadmin i don't have permission to create a new database. The databases and tables that I created earlier are also not available to me. I am also attaching the screenshot (.gif) of what error i am getting. When i click any database in phpadmin i get the following message:
SQL query:
SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `wpress` ;
MySQL said:#1044 - Access denied for user to database 'wpress'
If there is no solution then please reset the database, so that MySQL database can be set up again.
Regards,
(Vinay Chhabra)

I have a managed dedicated server in England, but I have no idea about the quality of services I get from the person that does the management of my server.
Unfortunately I do not have the technical knowledge to evaluate it by myself. The server looks fast but I am not sure whether it is optimised for security, protection from spammers, etc.
Is there a way to find out if everything has been setup in the best possible way? Can this be done without giving access to the server?

I shifted my website universalteacher.com from yahoo to Medialayer in July 2008 because yahoo has a very bad customer support. You can read my review about yahoo here:
[url]
The support provided by medialayer is excellent. Whenever I contact them, they reply within 1 hour. Mostly I have got reply within 15 minutes. The executives are knowledgeable and very helpful.
I am located in India and Medialayer is in US. I always contact them in odd hours. Please see the following query that I asked when I was testing wordpress MU on one of my sites at 6:13 AM and i got the reply at 6:26 AM. The second query i asked at 12:40 PM and got reply at 12:48 PM ....

Currently I am hosting my web site myself on my PC at home (Jboss+ mysql). Using a dedicated server with the highest spec can cost me a fortune knowing that I've just started my online recruitment business.
Should I just hire good hosting services to do things more professionally or should I keep hosting myself and learn how avoid many downtimes

hosting company that will allow me to expand as much as I like in terms of RAM, Storage and Bandwidth without having to move from a dedicated server to another dedicated server each time.
I guess the answer is something like Amazons Web Services (AWS). However, I haven't heard great things about them, but I wanted to know what everyone thought of them and any other similar cloud services that is more affordable and reliable.

I own a semi-popular downloads website which I host on one server while the actual files/downloads are hosted on another server. This downloads server is very low-end ( AMD Sempron 3000, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HD, CentOS with lighttpd, no control panel, etc.) and is connected via a 100Mbit shared line with a 3300GB bandwidth limit. Originally, I had it on a 10Mbit dedicated unmetered line but I hoped that by upgrading to the 100Mbit, I'd get better burst speeds, faster transfers/downloads, and a bit more bandwidth in general. Well, this doesn't seem to be the case so I'm looking for a new server or file hosting service hopefully on a better and faster network.
Right now, I'm considering the following companies/services:
* Profithost.net - Decent Dedicated server with nice bandwidth
* Redhostservers.com - OK Dedicated server with awesome bandwidth
* Server4you.com - Great Dedicated server with good bandwidth
* File-services.com - Decently priced pure file hosting with OK features
* MegaUpload Business account with Hotlink Quota - Decently priced pure file hosting with nice features

Would just like to recommend vpsland[dot]com for your VPS Hosting. I ordered my VPS through there very High Tech looking billing system that has a seemless link to their Virtuozzo VPS's as they are both made by Paralells. It then took under 24 hours for my VPS to be setup. I have found no problems with the VPS, the company even assisted with the installing of IonCube Loader for my PHP.
The support is brilliant, LiveSupport is offered and so is ticket support. The support response is very fast and you can reply by email no need to login to a portal or anything. Its so simple to use. They use Kayako for their support, its very reliable and works smoothly.
I have also had completely no downtime caused by VPSLAND and their systems, they have been veyr reliable and I would recommend them to anybody look for a cheap VPS. They also currently have an offer on Doubel Memory on many VPS's aswell as 50% off the first month. THe prices are exptremly competetive.
They are the ideal company if you are either very experienced or if you have no experience of servers at all.

I've seen nothing but bad reviews for VPSLand ever since I've been here. There have been the occasional good reviews, but those are usually posted by people with poor grammar and spelling and with less than 10 posts. So I got curious, and wondered if VPSLand really is as bad as everyone is saying.
Needless to say, I decided to try them out. They were running a 50% off the first month special which was perfect since I wouldn't be losing too much money in case anything bad happened. I chose the smallest Windows 2003 Virtuozo plan which came out to be $9 for the first month.
VPS was setup within 7 hours of payment. After tinkering around with my VPS, I decided I wanted to switch to 32bit (I was on 64 bit). I sent in a ticket asking for them to switch my OS. They said it was possible and proceeded to do it. After a day, I reminded them about it and within 2 hours they switched the OS.
I've sent in various support and billing tickets for different things and every time it's been resolved within 12 hours. My VPS has been up every time I have checked, but I haven't been monitoring it 24/7. However, every time I've needed it, it's been there. The speeds are pretty decent as well, I've only noticed lag a couple times within the 3 weeks I've been with them so far.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with VPSLand. I don't use their support as much since I prefer to learn everything myself so I just use Google to search for what I need and then I do it. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but for the price I'm paying ($18 a month for a 512MB Windows Server 2003 VPS) I'd say it's definitely worth it.

I have been using these guys for about 5 months now. I've never had a network problem with any of my VPS systems I have had with them. Uptime for me has been 100% without any issues.
Technical Support:
Technical Support was A+. Every little problem I had that google couldn't explain right, was solve by their tech support by time I checked my ticket. Not once did they give me a problem or a run around about a problem I had. They fixed it without delays.
Ticket System:
Send a support ticket, expect to get an answer very soon. All my tickets were answered in a timely fashion. Some in just 2-3mins, Talk about quick service.
System Resources:
As everyone knows, a VPS is shared between a dedicated server, and sometimes your VPS will be slowed/dragged depending on the amount of VPS networks setup on a system. My system has 1.5gb ram and I dont even know about the CPU process I have available. I have had no kind of system lag. I almost feel like my VPS is an actual dedicated server sometimes haha.
Long story short, I rate VPSLAND.com a 10/10

its the 5th day, my site and service are down, so i'm writing something about vpsland.
After doing so much hard work i got a good position on all search engines, and day by day im losing my positions only for my poor hosting, cause its down
The Problem began when i told them to upgrade my php version . Well. they did it but after that my site went offline
i couldn't start my vps or mysqld from virtuozzo. Now they fixed the mysqld thing. but the service called "named" is corrupted, so site is still offline. SO thing is like...
If you tell them to solve problem 1 and 2, they will solve the problem 1 and 2, but the new problem will occur ex.problem 5 and 6. they will fix the problem 6 but problem 5 will exist. They will ask you to make backup for thousands time, if you reply them Hello i have all of my backups, they will still ask for your permission and ask for backup. how decent they are.

A few month ago I needed some Windows VPS server and checked out WHT.
Apparently some folks recommended VPSLand and I thought it would be a good choice. Well after a few weeks with them I decided to move to another firm, because their Support is worse then I have ever seen with any hosting company.
It takes days to get an answer and in one occasion i even had to cancel the server since they couldn't get it to work again
Then yesterday one server went offline and after waiting a half day on support I received an email telling me that the server was online since months.
Then the hit today was that they just shut down one of the server cause he would use to much CPU
The thing which puzzles me is that they shut it down without notice and have me, the client, figuring out why i can't login
Long story short. I will move all my server to another company and can only recommend you to stay away from those guys.

VPSLand has some pretty slick prices. In spite of all the bad stuff said about them I decided to give them a try. I purchased their Windows-EZ Starter Value plan which uses Virtuozzo.
Setup:
- Not too bad, not great. Took a little while.
- Their management panels are in multiple places - not just one centralized dashboard from whence to access all other areas.
General:
- They don't automatically run backups, I had to run the backup myself.
- They didn't tell me not to apply Windows updates so I hosed my slice almost
immediately.
- Apparently my slice was rebooted without me knowing it b/c I had IIS set to manual and when I woke up one day it had stopped. I set it to automatic to avoid this.
- I had all sorts of install and permission issues with SQL Server 2005/08 Express, eventually gave up.
Support:
- Support is generally slow. Takes several hours for a response even if issue is emergency.
I'm not sure how many of these issues are Virtuozzo related and how many are VPSLand. I know I don't like Virtuozzo (call me old school, I want to apply my own patches), so I decided to purchase one of their Xen VPS. I purchased the WindowsXL-1024. Here's my thoughts on that experience thus far:
Setup:
- Took a long time.
General:
- Installed Windows Updates and suddenly couldn't get out to the internet (though I could still RDC in).
- Submitted trouble ticket and they fixed it but didn't tell me how.
- They told me not to apply Windows Updates - wait, I thought thats why I just got a Xen VPS? Waiting for their response.
Support:
- Several hour response time.
Well, its only been a day or so on the Xen VPS, I'll let you know how things go.

i'm thinking to pass to VPSLand. My website has 52'000 views/day and 11'000 visitors/day. I need windows, .net2 and MySQL.
What do you think of them? Their prices are very good and the service looks good too.
In particulare i was interested in the Value plan (29 $/month):
vpsland.com/ezwin.html
Any negative/positive experiences? What about support?
Somebody has a link to a website hosted with them?

Hello,
You should now see this issue resolved.
I undertand weekend understaffing but this MINOR issue took about 48 hours to resolve.
So if you needd some toy remote linux machine VPSLAND is a bargain but if you do some business stick to reputable hostings.

I used VPSland.com for the past 2 weeks and of course I enjoyed the first week of their servicc. It seriously got worse. There so called "network" for the server soo slow. They seriously messed up my server box as I was using it to host my databases for a game server. I'm currently using the "Starter" package and of course will not be using anything of theirs for long. The RDP (Remote Desktop) is horrible. Their network is terrible goes down all the time for me. I didn't worry about the network as far as i cared but they did something so stupid. I asked them for a password change, 6 hours later they reply, it works, then my box goes dead. Then I ask them why. They answer "There seems to be network problems with your box." I was like alright, they fix, then done. I login into my customer panel & RDP. NOTHING NO FILES, NO DATABASES OF MINE LEFT. Everything gone. I open a support ticket, they say they don't delete anything but after they changed my password, they totally screwed over my box. I ask them why the hell they removed all my important files. They answer "Sorry your box has many corrupted components, we recommend an re-installation. Please make a backup. When you are ready please reply" I'm like WTF? Where the hell are my files to even start with, how the hell do I make a backup. They answer "Thank your box has successfully been re-installed" yet now I still wait for there lame support (6hours after replies).
They messed up all my files, and important databases. I really want an explanation of what happened but they seem to ignore me. Hopefully my service/business project I have worked so hard on, so have other players to my gameserver will be restored. And yes I'm very angry, hope all your servers die & customers leave.
Also may anyone recommend me with a better VPS service? I need a cheap VPS which offers about 512MB-1GB of RAM guaranteed from a price of $10-$45.

In short: stay away.
The long version:
We ordered VPSLAND.com a week ago. The setup was fast, the config was smooth, prices are great (1Gb RAM server for 30 bucks a month, 50% discount for the first month - wow!). We moved our website (nothing special, 15 pages + SQL-Express database)
But then ((
I got up in the morning and saw an alert from "siteuptime.com" that our website is down for 4 hours... I pinged - timeout. Interesting - the web panel said that the server is fine and running... I rebooted the server and opened a support ticket, and after 8 hours the answer was "we had a hardware problem on the host server resolved now".
In the next few days I got another morning alert. Guess what. The site is down for 8 HOURS. God knows haw many clients we've lost... Again - the server is showing up as "running" in the webpanel, but it is totally unreachable. The support ticket answer was "we've updated the Virtuozzo version and restarted the host, it should work fine now"
...ok... I started to look for alternatives. Found "kickassvps" (recommended here) and asked them a couple of presales questions. And while I was waiting for a response - the server was down a couple of times again... Even now, after I transferred my website (runs fine BTW) I want to login to VPSLAND server (to remove my databases and do some cleanup) and guess what? It is f####ng down! )

I was looking for a windows vps for a few days and I've found vpsland through WHT but I saw some bad reviews about it but I took the chance any way as all what I had to pay is 9.5$ only for a Lite Windows VPS which is a gerat deal really!
Any way I submitted my order in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 12:08 PM
I received my account information in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 3:58 PM
I was really impressed with the fast setup of the VPS I thought it would take like 24-48 hours to setup it but it didn't even take 5 hours!
I logged in using the info to the RDP and I was happy with the speed I'm getting for 256Mb of RAM
I tried downloading and uploading two large files as a test for the connection speed and I got a very good speed really .
I sent an e-mail to the support asking about if Plesk is included with my account but I didn't notice in the package that it isn't
any way I sent the e-mail in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 6:55 PM
and received the reply in Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 7:26 PM
I would like to thank vpsland for the good service and I hope your service stay always like that
I would be more than happy to provide my domain name hosted with vpsland to any of the admins for verification
