has anyone heard of these people. Might be interested in getting a server with them but i think they are quite new. Any info to share?

I would also like to hear if anyone has had any experience with *******.com. I am currently looking for a new dedicated provider and would be intereted in hearing about any experiences.

One thing I do know is that their domain name was registered in June 2001, so they are VERY new to the hosting game.

I was interested until I found out that the servers they have may not be the most reliable or professional boxes.

I believe they use White boxes built from parts. I asked about purchasing a 1-2u box from them but they aparently dont offer that.

my 2 cents.

James :angry: :homer:

After thought --- *******.com does have a very nice site though.

Having spent the last week talking to Jim and Ed of *******, what can I say ? these guys are awesome.

Despite a custom configuration and the WTC incident, they were able to get my server up within 24 hours as commited, infact to be exact, 18 hours after I confirmed my order. Great stuff.

The tech support replies within an hour via email, sales guys offer great support via email and icq.

They are my number 1 provider now, and with the type of service I am getting, they will be my provider for life.

PS. My server is still in the mist of migration, please do not ping the current pdalive.com server for ping times as a reference for the *******.com server.

cool, thanks.

my only issue left really is the want to use plesk instead of webhostmanager also think the free support is limited to hardware/network only and not control panel software. thinking about it though.. am tempte.d

Hi padders,

I am also a customer of *******. I have been with them for about three weeks now and have had no problems with my server. Still early days i know, but it's looking good :)

They gave me a great deal on one of their servers and the support has been the best i've experienced. All e-mails have been replied to very quickly, most of them within minutes, all within a couple of hours. Although they only offer server/hardware support as standard, i have had all my questions to do with the control panel answered. They are a new company and if they keep up this kind of support they will go a long way :cool:

I have used a few control panels in the past before i settled on Plesk. I was unsure at first because i was used to the cobalt/ensim layout of control panels. Once i had a play around with the demo at the plesk website i found it to be a very well laid out and easy to navigate panel. Plesk does (nearly) everything that i wanted from a control panel and am very pleased with how stable it is.

Overall, from my experience, i don't think you will have any problems with ******* or their servers.

thanks, that is good to hear. I think they are quite a new company so getting used to the software as well.

I am going to investigate plesk. Not sure if the differences between it and WHM but the demo had me very confused.

I just got a dedicated server from ******* about a week ago. They have the BEST tech/support staff. Everytime I sent a message (about 50 of them) they happily reply and usually within 5-10 minutes. So far the service has been outstanding. The price was the best I found anywhere after 2 weeks of searching. They definately have a customer for life. Check out my services I am providing through them...misterbeans.com (hosting section will soon be misterbeans.net). YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH *******!!!

******* says they are in Seattle. I'm checking with them now (I've never heard of them before). From a traceroute, looks like they use Verio...? I traced them from both NewJersey and LAX.

I also traceroute the *******.com . As you said they are from WA. But it shows they are in Englewood, CO.
So where are they? How they are connected to the backbone.

:D

:D

They do a great job answering email overnight (On Friday)!

I really like the level of information they provide on their web pages, one of the most complete hosting sites I have ever seen.

Alas, they aren't willing to do co-location. Darn. And all their dedicated servers are lightweight on the RAM front :)

Guys just to add on, you can customise your dedicated server like I need, I have 1GB RAM.

Cheers,
Beng Yeow

Yes, I asked about extra RAM too - and they quoted me considerably less than the published web page rate... so they seem eager for new customers right now.

well
if they are using VERIO

they gotta be good
verio owns.
