I have been following there posts in the offers section of wht for a few weeks now, I've contacted RN-DAVID a few times about his offers and the response has always been fast and the service sounds good, however i would like to know what everyone else thinks.
I'm looking to order two servers from them with the following specs:
Server 1:
AMD Sempron 3000+
2GB DDR2 RAM
1X 120GB SATA II HDD
1X 160GB SATA II HDD
2 IP Addresses
Windows Server 2003 Std
3TB CAP on a 100Mbps Line
Priced @ £40.95 PM with £20.00 Setup for RAM and Second HDD
This server will just be for my personal use really, I'm planning on backing up some of my personal data to it, photos, documents etc... I'll be using it via remote desktop mainly so doesn't need to be top spec.
The second server is going to be an additional Cpanel Web Server With the following spec's
Intel Core 2 Quad 6600
4GB DDR II RAM
2X 500GB SATA II HDD'S (RAID)
8 IP Addresses
CentOS
CPanel
3TB on 100Mbps Line
Cost £69.95PM + £120 For RAM, HDD & Raid Card Upgrades
Now when it comes to value for money both servers seem fantastic to me, but what I would like to know is does anyone else use them? what are your experiences with them? whats there support like? etc...
We are now with Ipower for 18 months, and I would like to say there was very good service from their side... downtime was minimal (1 hour out of 18 months), and their support is excellent - executives speaking perfect english and offering very professional and helpful service 24 x 7
We don't run a huge traffic heavy website, but we do run certain smaller websites, and it was a good service all along.
Just wanted to get on board and discuss Yawp Domains. We are a new business that has recently started a new online shop. We were dealing with another company and came across Yawp domains. They have been fantastic with every aspect in getting us started. From the website set up to web hosting and domain names. They are genuine people who care about our business. The support team was great and the response time is exceptional. Definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a personalised service. The after hour customer service is second to none. Well done guys and keep up the good work. More people like you are needed in business.

It has been one year today that I have had a VPS with JaguarPC. It has been a pleasurable experience.
From day one I received prompt curious service from their sales department and support the few times it was needed.
I was overseas on trip to Bulgaria and Turkey right after setting up my VPS. I messed up something just before I left that caused the VPS to crash while I was away. It was my error - I was out of the country and my assistant who knows little about running a VPS was able to get out an email to me in Bulgaria. I opened a ticket with support and gave them my friends email address so they could work with him and that was all it took.
Support had my system up and running in no time even though I messed up.
The VPS has run perfect since. Just recently my VPS was moved from the Houston Data Center to the Atlanta Center. The migration went great and the new server is outstanding. Fast and very responsive. WHM/Cpanel a resource hog as it is loads almost instantaneously now. Two Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) 2210 Processors! The VPS has only 8.3% of memory usage with no disk swapping. SATA drives in RAID 10. My old server was always at 46% which still was good.
Regardless of what you may read here from some grippers - you too can have a good experience at JaguarPC.
Right now you can get 15% off for life on a VPS - if you are looking for a powerful server to have a VPS on the current ones Jag is selling are it! (till Feb 15)
I am no employee of JaguarPC just a happy client who wants to tell the truth about my one year anniversary with the company.
The company has a great forum where a good group of old time customers help other customers with installs or whatever with their hosting needs. Even the resident wacko VIN DSL is a big help when he wants to be
They continue to improve all faucets of the company with new ideas and services -that along with the continuous hiring of an excellent team of sales and service personnel as the company grows make it so that I can look forward to another good year at JaguarPC.
If you need a hosting provider, reliable with logical prices and fantastic support then you should consider SoftSysHosting.com
I'm developing web sites since 1995 and through all these years I have changed many hosting companies always looking the best for my clients. BUT what are the basic 2 critical factors for a website?
1) Reliability -stability - fast loading
2) Excellent support staff.
SoftSystHosting.com has also logical prices for Windows2008 hosting needs.
Whenever I needed to open a new ticket during the process of domain transfer I always was getting a reply in minutes. Also the support staff is very gentle, experienced and always looking for to satisfy your needs. You need Full Trust for your domain? No problem. Just open a ticket and in 5 minutes you'll have it.
One main reason I left from one of my previous hosting provider was Full Trust. They offered only Medium Trust.
I left also another hosting provider since support system was horrible. I opened a ticket and I wasn't sure when it will be answered. In cases of troubles a complete absense of support may ruin your business. I usally do changes at night or weekend when my clients do not work. What happen if something goes wrong and there is no one at the other side of support to help you? I have faced such situations that the 24x7 support was 8x5.
So if you want to be free from anxiety and have reliable hosting with a fanatical support team, then I suggest you to join SoftSysHosting.com
SoftSysHosting.com Support rocks.
I've just picked up an interesting project, an internet radio.
Internet Radio is not something I've done before so I'm looking around for info on it :
1. The Kind of hosting for streaming that is required.
2. Any good hosts (not your own of course )
3. Any helpfull resources, tutorials, explanations etc on the subject.

Im looking to host an irc network, ill need a few VPS's in EU / USA. can anyone reccomend me some providers? im looking for fairly cheap, unmanaged.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have two servers with vaserve, one under the a2b2 brand and the other under the EpicVPS brand, which I am very happy with, but they don't allow the hosting of IRC or bots in any way.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a (very) low cost (very) low spec plan that would allow me to host a single IRC bot. I'm looking for something around 64mb ram, and whatever disk/bandwidth you think would be enough for the bot.
i ordered the server 12 days ago,two weeks after,but i still received nothing,i sent many e-mails to them,nothing replied to me,i submited the ticket in their site,still nothing replied,make me feel very upset,it never happened to me before,they are the worst reseller,how can i get back the refund?

I am not the brightest when it comes to IRC. Ideally we want to create a "Chat Room" for our website members. We only need one room, so I am thinking a whole server is over kill However I am interested in knowing if not requiring a whole server, is there a service perhaps that allows us to have our own branded irc channel, IE: irc.ourwebsite.com ?
I am only thinking IRC as we want our users to use the web based interface, and there is a plethora of these that can run through a java applet to the IRC channel. Or are there better solutions?
I am open to suggestions, we are only looking to have about 30 people in the chat room.
So far 1and1.com seems to be the worst I've ever dealt with. I think they should fire the call centers they're hiring and actually find people to represent their company who actually care about their customers. All the people they are currently using sound so ignorant that I feel like I'm speaking to a robot. Through your personal experience, who do you think is the worst?

I purchased a VPS from them, on thier website they offer 24/7/365 support, but in real life they respond to emails at 1:30am Pacific time, are not available on MSN as they promise and do not refund thier flasely gained funds due to thier FALSE ADVERTISING.

into my second monthof VPS hosting I noticed my server was unavailable which I found was due to a hardware failure, I am then told that some IPs need changing, I've had no access to my sites for ages, no one is answering tickets and the phone number is dead.
Assuming the company has gone under, can I regain anything from paypal as I paid for my hosting through them
I renting a dedicated server outside the Netherlands and I'm glad to have good experience the first time.
Sales and support tickets / mails are handled fast usually and server quality is also good.
At first i wanted the cheapest dual core machine with ESX, this didn't workout so they tried it with a more expensive machine ( Amd instead of Intel ) This also didn't work.
So i've decided to use VMware Server on debian.
Due to the delay of the server they gave me the new server and installed everything on it.
Although the supply time of the server took longer then expected they compensated for it more then enough.
I'm looking for a good place to get a dedicated server from that allows IRC other than Staminus and has decent DDoS mitigation just to be safe. I would prefer total network bandwidth capacity to be no less than 10GB/s that pier with premium tier-1 bandwidth providers.
Needing:
Processor: No less than a dual core
RAM: 1-4 GB RAM
HDD: No less than 150GB HDD
IPs: 64 or 128 IP Addresses
No less than 1500GB/m bandwidth on 100MB
Budget: $150 - $190 USD
What is the suitable internet speed for dedicated server hosting about 30 VPS?

Dear Clients,
Ealier this afternoon our main VPS node VZ1US suffered from a hard drive failure following notifications received by our SMART monitoring daemon a couple of days ago. We backed up all client VPS's at approximately 8:30PM Last night and moved them to an offsite server. We are currently in the proccess of restoring your backups to a new server we have had deployed.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvinience caused and are working hard to get the backups restored. We are currently in proccess of moving them to the new server. Your VPS will then be created and the backup restored. New login details and IP information will be emailed to you.
At this time we have no official ETA as transfer speeds fluctuate during transfer of the backup files. We will credit your accounts for the downtime caused by this outage.
Once again we apologise for any inconvinience caused and thank you for your patience during this time. We will email you again shortly with an ETA.
I am looking for somewhere in the US or Canada that can host a VPS with the following requirements:
10gb space
256mb ram - burst 512mb
200gb bandwidth
2 ips (or 1 with cheap price for an extra ip)
Public IRC Capable (not linking with EFNet, etc.)
I've been searching for something that can meet my needs but I've been at a loss. BuyAVPS became a big issue, and I pulled out quickly before the most recent downtime, SolarVPS before that with their lovely billing problems and collection threats.
In last three years I used five famous VPS providers and currently I have registering with Solar Vps. The service is excellent; Response to support tickets is very fast.
I suggest in anyone want to have 100% uptime server + good service, register with Solarvps.com Company.
Figured I would give a review on ecatel.net. I first started dealing with ecatel on January 20th when I got a server for a management client. Soon after that I bought my own ecatel server as well as referred about 4 others so far to get servers, all have been very happy.
Bandwidth/Latency
They have unbelievable bandwidth to be located in that part of the world and being access form the states. I manage about 5 other servers in that area through different networks and ecatel beats them all. Latency is always very good, it would be completely possible for a gaming clan in the united states to rent an ecatel server and use it for games. Here is their latency readings from another place in The Netherlands but its safe to say that their latency from the states would be exceptional as well. Download speeds are also very good from the states about 30-50% better then other servers I manage in that area.
They have unmetered bandwidth and guarantee up to 10 tb and it is for real. I or none of my clients have used 10tb yet but I know of at least once that averages 30 -60 mbit all the time and we have not heard the first peep from them or had any limitations.
Support/Sales
Very good, I am very pleased with the support and sales. new servers are usually provisioned within 24 hours, the most one has ever taken was 4 days which was not an issue as I noted that the order did not need expedited and to take their time with it. They are very polite, speak excellent english and response time if good usually taking 2-12 hours for non-emergency issues.
Prices are also excellent. very good deals on all configurations. My favorite server they have are the p4 2160 dual core - its like a stripped down core2duo 1.86 with smaller cache. It runs very well and scored around 244 on the unix benchmarks we do here on that one thread. By far the best bang for the buck.
Uptime
Very good at least 99.9% during the time I have been with them. There has been a few very brief outages for maintenance but each time there was emails sent out explaining the situation and window. They are very good about notifying clients of any problems or outages.
Overall I am very happy with ecatel and when I refer them to people I totally vouch for their stability and reliability. They are one of those companies that you deal with and are very happy with from the start. I would recommend ecatel for anyone doing offshore hosting, needing high bandwidth/transfer or anything else. It would even be good for US hosts doing regular hosting
2 thumbs up for ecatel. My clients and I are very satisfied and happy with them. If you are considering them give them a try. Do not judge by their unfinished website, I would assume they do most of their sales fromreferrals and word of mouth so that is probably not a big priority, who knows but do not judge them from their website. Email them directly at info@ecatel.net and they will take care of you.
I would like to thank Allurehost for helping me out. I have never seen great service like allurehost. I have been with them for more than 4 months and they increase their service everytime i need help! I had lots of trouble, some of the questions would be stupid, but allurehost would still help me out no matter what. There plans are very affordable price, excellent service, like i said 100 times. I think they are just the best host for me and plan on staying with them for as long as i can!
here is my website for those who think i am the staff, which im not:

I just thought id let users know of my excellent experience so far with VT6, I ordered their diamond VPS plan along with cPanel and management. Setup was swift and took 12 Hours including server optimization and hardening.
Ive only been with them since wednesday. They were very friendly with answering all my presales questions. Support tickets are answered within 15 Minutes and one of mine was answered in 3 Minutes which is impressive. They have sorted out a few issues for me ive had after initial setup swiftly.
The server is not oversold and the VPS runs nice and quickly.
So thumbs up to VT6, So far so good. Ill be giving my 1 Month sometime in July
Virpus review - Excellent
Its my great Privilege to give them a excellent rating.
I ordered vps almost 2 and half months back after we had a poor run at WOC (not even for a month at them).
We had recd. so far fabulous support from their crew. The usual ticket reply time is awesome for an semi-managed vps.
Any reply with in 30mins and if provided proper information required as well they would do give the update and time note.
We didn't have any down time on our vps so far. The free back up facility for an semi-managed vps is really awesome. I was searching for a similar feature with lots of hosts but was unlucky. Just then came virpus to solve my every need.
Its just for a namesake they are semi-managed, I get support as if I get a complete managed support.
Till now no ticket on mine has been either ignored or nor delayed in response.
The speed is great and better than our previous hosts
My final word is Virpus Rocks - www.virpus.com
As far as my experience in concerned I will look forward to this company for a very long relationship with them and try to get my friends tied up at this excellent host.
Its been really my pleasure to give this review on virpus. Once again thanks Virpus team for making my life so easy and simple online.
This review is completely based on our experience and not any hand written material I give them 10/10 from my heart.
I have to tell about the excellent service I received with Polur.Net. I recently put in a request regarding running a 3rd party script to support. I expected a response with complicated instructions but instead the Polur Team went beyond my expectations by running the script for me and even correcting my own errors which ensured that everything worked great.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter using Pacificrack before we had considered to use them again, however the coverup thread certainly made us think but we decided to give them another go, however Chris Gotzmann was extremely helpful via MSN and we secured an excellent deal on a Core2Quad server.
Sales:
After speaking with Chris via MSN we came to a deal on a Core2Quad Q6600 server. Chris promptly created my client account and generated an invoice, I paid for it and the server was deployed and ready to go 10 hours later, Excellent.
Support:
The support before when we used them was excellent, Support ticket's answered in 10 minutes or less and the support now is still at that level if not better as some of our tickets get answered in under 60 seconds. We have put in several tickets this month and all issues have been resolved in under 10 minutes after getting an inital reply within 1-5 minutes.
Network:
I cannot really fault their network, it provides unbelievably good download speeds to the UK and good ping times, there have been only a couple of very minor hiccups this month but it only affected service for around 1-5 minutes if that.
Overall:
I am extremely happy with Pacificrack, their service is as good as it was before and Chris and the team have been extremely helpful and supportive to me. I cannot really fault their service and I hope to continue using them.
Sales Rating:
8/10, Sometimes took a little bit of time to get a response on email
Support:
10/10, Cant fault it and cant complain at reply times
Network:
9/10, Other than the couple of minor hiccups, no complaints here
