Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Infinitie.net: Good or bad?

[ub3rst4r]

I am looking to switch my VPS provider from A7GZ (for obvious reasons) and I came across a promo that Infinitie has right now (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...hp?t=1146334):

Xpression R7

1GB Guaranteed DDR3 ECC Memory
1.5GB Burstable DDR3 ECC Memory
100GB Raid 10 Storage Space
100Mbit Unmetered Bandwidth (approx 33TB)
1 CPU Core
8 IPv4 Addresses
8 IPv6 Addresses
Includes FREE Cpanel and Softaculous
FREE Instant Setup
Only $14.95/Mo for life

They seem to be a pretty reputable company but I was wondering if anyone has any past (good or bad) experiences with them?

Their service is good. I haven't had any downtime, sometime the network is really slow (about 100KB/s when download 100MB test file from cachefly).

Their support team is not really good. Sometime they reply the ticket about few minutes, sometime it takes age

Well the support for A7GZ isnt any better.

We have a dedicated server with them, and we can't say anything negative about them. The connection is decent, we average 18mb/s download speeds to linode dallas, and the support is amazing.

The performance of ther VPS was very poor, maybe it is too cheap.

Are you talking about InfinitieNet or A7GZ?

[ExpertWebHostNET]

The InfinitieNet offer seems to be great. But, remember that InfinitieNet are unmanaged providers(no support for your vps software issues).

I do have a vps with a7 and happy with its performance/price. I generally never contact support because, I'll do all the required managing/troubleshooting stuff myself.

Btw, could you please post some performance tests from your a7gz vps?

I have a VPS, took the cpanel offer. Had it about 3 months and overall very happy. Agree the network becomes slow at times and have had the odd other issue but I have had much worse from other providers so for the price this offering from infinitienet for the price, for me, is great value. I don't plan to change at all.

I'm also considering a VPS with Infinitie.net, and am glad to see that most folks seem happy with them. Their support is not known for being speedy, sure.

As for the slowdowns, I suppose they are inevitable when offering unmetered 100mbps, but the 1 Mbps (100 KBps) that dasklney mentioned concerns me. How often do these slowdowns occur, and how long do they last?

[Renesas]

I'm also considering buying from Infinitie and put it in a production website, but I'm afraid I getting issues.

Is it worth it for a production website ?

Please advice me

Just about an hour for about 4 months with them They said that some backup was runnning

Well, after sending a request to A7GZ a few days ago with no reply I am assuming that hes not going to refund me now. I guess I should've read their strict refund policy (http://www.a7gz.com/privacy.php) first.

I'm with them for a few days so far, but first impression is quite good.

However, I am accustomed to self-managed type of hosting, and my primary cinerns are reliability and stability. Support, as long as they process my rDNS setup request, isn't that crucial.

They should do, I requested it for 2 sites I have and they done it no problem.
