Why choose ServInt?

All of our VPS products are designed with performance, uptime, features, and security in mind. We’ve worked for months to bring the ultimate VPS product line into existence. Now, server-class architecture and performance, engineered to achieve 100% uptime, are available at a tiny fraction of the price.

ServInt has been providing managed hosting services for almost 9 years. We maintain a 24 hour operations center staffed by server experts, who are able to troubleshoot any problems you may have. They are available by phone and email 24 hours a day, every day, to provide help and answer questions. Most importantly, since we own our own datacenter, our technicians are on-site 24 hours a day.

Our support speaks for itself. We use experienced personnel for every task. Our idea of a good response time is 2-3 rings of the phone, not 2-3 hours in reply to a trouble ticket. We believe your concerns should be about running your business, not doing your own technical support. Most problems are handled immediately--the only delay being how long it takes to quickly resolve the issue.

For questions or help with ordering, please contact wht@servint.com or call 1-800-5-SERVINT (1-800-573-7846) and press 1 then 1 at the menu to talk to a representative. Simply mention you saw this post on WHT.

After your order is placed, a representative will contact you. Be sure to mention this WHT-only special. Every member of our staff is trained to provide excellent responsiveness, and we have a full range of custom packages available depending on your business needs.

Very nice offer their, keep it up..

Hi BobFarmer,

I have 2 question.

Do you put all the different VPS packages in the same server or each VPS package are on its own server?

How many VPS packages you put on each server? Is it limited by the guaranteed RAM amount eg 8GB RAM would equals to 64 Essential VPS package?

Thank you.

Thank you.

We aren't setting a number for how many VPSes will go on a single server. This is for the protection of our customers. We feel that if we say "XYZ VE's per server" that may turn out to be too large a number on one machine, and too small a number on another. If there are a bunch of powerusers, there will be less on their machine. If nobody is doing anything at all, there will be more. Because we can move a VPS from one server to another in minutes, with only a few seconds of downtime to the customer, our team can keep the loads under control so the end-user experience is always optimal. Our company has been in business for almost 9 years--we won't risk the reputation we've built in order to squeeze a couple hundred bucks a month out of a server.

We're also not planning on segregating accounts onto servers. The reason for this is that there's no uniform consumption rate of each individual resource that can be derived simply from the product plan. If we had, as in your example, 64 Essential's each pushing WAY over their bandwidth quota, I wouldn't necessarily want them all on the same server. Likewise, people could order the Ultimate VPS because they want the CPU/RAM benefit, and use less than 1GB storage. Due to the variation of consumption, we hope to continue to balance each VPS host machine so every customer can get everything they need.

As a side note, these servers are quite significant in power, and we'll be adding them as-necessary. We will continue to maintain a minimum requirement for each customer, however, in that they are able to use all the resources that were guaranteed to them, as in your example above.

Thanks for the question!

Please note that our Billing department will not be available during Labor Day Weekend (Sat, Sun, Mon) as it is a holiday here in the US. This means only orders received before approximately 5pm EST today will be processed in time for turnup this weekend, all other orders may be subject to turnup on Tuesday, September 2. I apologize for the inconvenience, but even bean-counters need a day off.

could you please answer the pm i've sent you? cheers

Doing my best to keep up, I'll get my reply to you within 15 minutes. :)

What do you charge for excess data transfer above the 200GB limit?

How quickly is a VPS account established after payment has been received?

As it says on the order form, additional bandwidth is only $1/GB. Also, as I mentioned in the post above, we won't have anyone in our billing or finance departments over the 3 day weekend, so we don't expect to do turnups until Tuesday. However, based on demand, we may send someone in to process orders over the weekend, as we're already getting a good pile building.

I'm sorry, we don't provide unmanaged services, nor do we provide any servers smaller than a P4 2.4 Ghz with 1GB DDR RAM and an 80GB drive with 8MB cache. If you would like for me to refer you to someone who can help you, I'll be happy to. I appreciate your interest in ServInt.

Unfortunately, we are not providing colo services at this time. Our product line includes our Managed VPS services, our Managed Dedicated Servers, and our Custom Solutions (multiple servers, clusters, hardware load balancing, content switching, etc).

Nice packages! Any chance that these VPS packages will become available to resellers at discount rates?

We're still in launch phase, but are planning a very broad-scale reseller program. Until then, our referral program does apply. Feel free to contact me off-line for more details.

Meanwhile, I'm happy to say that due to volume, we're extending the promotional cPanel/WHM package pricing until next Friday, September 12th!

Hello Bob ,
I sent a mail today to your sales department also asking for a VPS , and the ability to resell for my company in Europe.Hope that I get the 49$ +11$ offer.

You should have your reply, and the $49 + $11 is indeed still available.

Key word is legal. We don't allow spam, spamvertised sites, irc-related anything, or illegal content. We allow all other legal content on the VPS, subject to our AUP.

Hi,

Lets say i signup now and few months later i need to upgrade, would you charge for setup and Cpanel?

I know that the pricing now is introductory and lets assume that few months later you are charging $50 setup and $20 monthly for Cpanel.

Thank you.

Definately not. Once you're in, you're locked into the pricing from when you signed up. Even if we double our pricing, and you want to upgrade to the Ultimate VPS, it will still be $149/month for you, and there will be no additional one-time charges to change. People who miss the promotion will be on whatever pricing structure exists at the time they signup.

Are you going to be offering any other control panels, ie; DirectAdmin or HSphere?

At this time we are not planning on supporting any additional control panels, however, it is possible you could install your own.

Not sure if this is a dumb question. I currently am planning looking at abandoning one of my dedicated cpanel server as it is quite under-utilized and considering the Essential VPS Package to save on the cost element. However, the catch is that there are essentially two sites on the machine, one is hosting downloads of the programs we wrote (We are the owners/developers so no legal issues there) and the other is just some photos which my friends and I took (mainly holiday pictures nothing illegal).

I just looked at my server stats and traffic for the last few months has been between 95 to 130mb per month according to Bandmin.

My question is, do you accept customized packages, I do not mind what the Essential Plan offers but probably looking at say 150mb bandwidth ?

By the way, how is bandwidth monitored ? In + Out, Out Only, Avg In+Out or 95% Percentile

At this time, because of the high costs involved with the server, the VPS platform, and our support, $49/month is our minimum product. I consider it a great deal no matter how much of the VPS you use because of the server-class architecture, the bandwidth, the support/managed services, the VPS Forums, free control panel, etc, but then again, I'm biased. As for bandwidth, it is in+out, actual usage. So far, people seem to really like the VPS product, I think you would too. (Then again, I'm biased. :))

I would agree with you. Actually, I wasn't looking for the under $49/mth plan but was actually looking for something in-between that and the next plan at $89/mth.

Sorry, the 'mb' should have read as 'gb', so my requirement is actually 150gb and not 150mb. Current usage is between 95 to 130gb. ;)

I guess that's why I got you confused.

Have not slept much over the last few days cos of work. Sorry about that.

It is now becoming much more clear, thanks for the explanation. I welcome you to email me at wht@servint.com regarding this if you don't mind, it seems like we're getting pretty in-depth for an advertising forum, and I'll be happy to go into much more detail privately.

No Problem. Email sent.

Nice offer. I've heard lots of good things about ServInt, nice to see that QUALITY is favoured over quantity. :)

With VDS, do you support install some standard features, such as: PHP, MySQL, Perl, phpMyadmin...
Regards

could you please include an idea of the system overheads for each control panel size wise. You say 2gb space, for say cpanel is this 2 gb useable or 2 gb - cpanel files overhead. Same as regards plesk, thanks:)

Here are the installation sizes of each of the three packages:

RedHat Plain: 40 MB
Plesk: 75 MB
CPanel: 430 MB

So basically it would be 1.5 GB usable after OS and Cpanel installation?

Originally posted by DJ

Approximately, yes, for the Essential cPanel/WHM VPS. Considering what we pay monthly to put cPanel/WHM on the VPS, it is still an incredibly good deal, even if you have to go over by a GB.

Yes. However, we're cautious in using the word "standard features" when referring to things such as 3rd party software, PHP Plug-Ins, etc. What is standard to you may be unheard of to someone else.

Our cPanel/WHM installs come with everything you'd expect from cPanel/WHM (dedicated, this is not a reseller version). Our Plesk accounts come with everything you'd expect from Plesk. Our "plain" versions come with PHP, MySQL, Perl, Linux Developer kit, Apache, etc.

Because of many similar and popular pre-sales questions, we posted a pre-sales FAQ on our website at:

http://www.servint.net/vps/vpsfaq.html

I hope this information is useful, please let me know if there is something you feel should be added.

Dear BobFarmer,

Thank you for setting up the FAQ, it is much helpful.

One question though.

What do you charge for excess bandwidth usage?

Our charges for extras are $1/GB for bandwidth, $3/GB for storage, and $1/month per IP address.


Does this mean that one doesn't even have to ask for more space when account is over the quota - because there will be more available, and you'll simply add its charge to the next bill? Or, maybe, it's needed, wise etc. to ask for more when it's close to the quota?

I'm thinking about some GBs, definitely less than 10 GB.

Thanks.

It appears you answered your own question on what we charge for excess bandwidth usage. $1/GB. Yes, you can transfer more than the included amount. When you go over, you pay for what you use in addition to the included amount. You don't need to request more bandwidth. As for disk space, you can also go over this amount.

Say some other user(s) go a long way over their allowed disk space limit. I am nearly at my limit and also need to go over. How do you ensure that there is always spare disk space for me?

We proactively police disk space usage. If users go over for short bursts of time, we ignore it. If a user remains over their diskspace allowance, we contact them in order to give them a chance to delete files or increase their allocated amount.

With 730 Gigs of disk space and the ability to move a VPS to another server with a maximum downtime of a minute, I don't think you'll have a problem. The Engineers will be monitoring the servers, so you don't have to worry about it. ;)

Just the humble opinion of a new ServInt VPS customer.
