Currently I have an account with a webhost who is experiencing ahhem problems shall we say. I won't mention any names (e data rack)... but I purchased their reseller plan a while back, and they were fine until a month ago, when their network provider (birch) started crapping out...

SO I wanted to know what your think of vshosting.net or any other reseller you've used in the past...

mainly I wanted to know your uptime experience w/ them and if they always ping at only 23ms (US)... fasted I've ever SEEN for that price... and speed/uptime is what I care about most, price and features come second

I recommend them.
Uk ping anything from 80ms - 110ms, which isn't bad.
Support is brilliant.
Downtime - I can probably count on one hand the amount of downtime. No downtime I can think of went on longer than 20 mins or so.

I say go for it - but I am biased, best reseller company I have been with. Just mention Ryan when you sign up ;)

I will give you some reviews.

I can see that VSHosting formed in 2001.
Now is 2003, and they only purchased 2 dedicated servers:

NS1.VSDNS4U.COM, NS2.VSDNS4U.COM
NS3.VSDNS4U.COM, NS4.VSDNS4U.COM

From their COMPANY INFO: "Over the last 2 years we have grown at a steady pace, and now offer Reseller's accounts." It seens like they are getting couple of clients signed up per month. It's a bit dodgy don't you think?

Watch, the topic has changed. Now it is:
How I can prevent that potential customers go to a competitor if here shall come too much good reviews for that competor.

ALways the problem., If one is really god and gets friends and grows faster than other, then the sharks are comning and try to drop that as they fear that their own customers may read that and move.

And VSHosting is growing as their work is correct and good.

Take they. trustworthy, good, fair pricing, excellent support (except last saturday evening as they had their birthday meeting, and yesterday, as they had been still tired from their party. ;-)

I do know a lot, lost much money within the past 3 years with others who promised all and give a little ony, or nothing.

This says nothing
1) I see 7 VSH server, where you're looking?
2) I do know another company, much more customers, 11 years in business, but not yet one dedicated server to see. Simply as not all is to see what exists it you work with different sources.

what is th epoint of WHT if you cannot post an opinion on a company.
It always turns into snide comments and dirt throwing.

From now on I will not recommend someone I believe is a good place to use - instead I will hit google for 'best web hosting company' and put one of their names up here.

I have been lurking here a year and now I don't think I will be back - no great shakes to any of you, but to be honest its like a playground in here.

I don't post IPs or server names. Anyone with experience can find they. But I don't want they the transparancy is dropped as then come too much spams.
Such you should know. If not, then sorry for you. You just disqualified yourself.

My role is simple. I'm only a member of a VSH customer who got a hint to read here. Other do know my nichname very well. I don't need to publish more, and I never post our URL or comapny name if I talk about tīsuch topics. I can differ between spam and serious advertising and promotion while here a lot need their postings as subtile spam only. (lloking around and see lot of such, even here)

If you must know, on different domain names, i'm sure many hosts have servers on more than just one domain. Most of the hosts i've ever been with do.

I suspect I can explain why so many posts are now about VSHosting

Because instead of discussing VSHosting in a real way..or choosig to ignore the thread..a few have taken you attacking individuals who have shared positive experiences.

Once that happens people on all sides get really defensive ..

Some of those begin to post more and very deliberately on the topic they felt attacked under...and posting rates on the topic increase
others get disgusted and go silent...eventually everyone does and the thread goes silent

But it hasn't reached that point yet'-)

trademe,

I was under the same suspicions as you are right now with another post that can be seen in the same forum as this. However, if you will look into that thread there are plenty of established members who say the same thing.

I do admit looking at the other thread, it is a bit suspicious at first but I definitely don't think this company is spamming or anything of that sorts that can be called shady.

Also, I am wondering exactly what does the number of servers that you own have to do with how good of a company you are over a period of time? I don't think it matters whether they have 2,5, 15, etc. servers personally...as growth shouldn't be too fast or too slow.

BTW, I don't mind defending them a bit now since I was in the wrong, accept my apologies guys as I was wrong. I hope you do understand why though, however. :D

you're right, I fully agree
such is pure flaming only, as there aren't any arguments and fact and so emotions are pushed. Quality of hosting business doesn't has any relation to the amount of server. But it sounds negative If such a point is a topic, and so the objective is reached: the other say "yes" instead thinking and again starts alternate propaganda and spam.

Such we see day for day in the politics. Why here it should be different?

Another point is the stupid question how much servers are "owned". Do you "own" your car? Or do you lease it? What's with the medicine technik in a hospital? Owned or leased? And what that has for relation to the trustworthy or quality of work?

The more, that one who owns all may get financial liquidity problems and interest rates soon, and service problems, those who lease, they have free finance and are much better enabled to react soon if an accident happens.

So, "own" server is an argument AGAINST the hosting's quality and security, but it sounds not so good. That's the differnce again between emotion and thinking.
