Time really flies, I never expect to be using Wholesaleinternet for 22 months now. I took up the offer when Aaron and James graciously dug out one of their Windows 2000 license and installed that on one of their low end machine for me. That was a whole 22 months ago.

It was a low end machine, but it had been extremely stable, really a work horse type. I took it for a friend who needs hosting in the USA. I am leaving because he does not need it anymore.

My review on the server.

1. Initially there was some teething problems due to the power supply of the building their datacentre was in. That last some time. After their move to the new building, all these issues disappear.

2. Beginning there were some DOS attacks, it seemed to be disappear as time passed.

3. The biggest downtime was when another client put our IPs into their box, when we rebooted, server can't get up. We are using a low end dedicated server, so we do not have separate Vlan.

These are the 3 issues we faced. The first two seemed more or less solved. The last was a one time affair.

Support was timely, courteous and knowledgeble. Server seemed to be made of steel, no hardware failure despite being a low end model.

Sad to leave. I would say it had been a good beginning and a good ending.
