BurstNet VPS - Crap
Just a warning to anyone considering using BurstNet. I have a VPS with them and it's constantly going offline because the server (node) hosting it has crashed.
Their support staff are also generally quite rude.
I did have a longer review but WHT removed it for some reason. I haven't received any communication as to why it was removed. Perhaps because I wouldn't share my support ticket ID. Last time I checked, WHT rules don't state that a review must include a support ticket number. I had provided WHT with the IP address of my VPS.
You may think you're saving yourself money, but you're not. Stay away from them.
Stay away.

Individual refuses to substantiate his claim, with a ticket number, so we can validate or refute his claim, and assist if the claim is legitimate.
Our staff is not rude, but if you are rude to them (which this individual WAS being in his prior posting), you can assume they are not going to bend over backwards to help you, as they typically would.
WHT removed his prior thread...I'm sure for good reason.

I thought this thread had already been removed from WHT for your pleasure?

I was reading the old one and it got really interesting and when I clicked on page 3, it was already deleted. Now this is back... Hmmm...

We had nothing to do with the removal, we didn't even report the thread. We usually don't report things unless they are comeplete nonsense, and this individual may or may not have a legit complaint---we have no idea. WHT did this all on their own...and I'm sure they had good reason to.

His offer to give proof, and his actually giving proof are two different things. Just like his claims of what happened with his VPS, and what ACTUALLY happened to his vps are (potentially) two different things.
The fact of the matter is, even if WHT does not exactly state that you must provide proof of your claims, it seems pretty logical that you need to provide proof of your claims.
It's like the scenario I placed in the previous thread:
If all a person has to do is prove they are a customer, there is NOTHING stopping a competitor of ours from renting a $5.95 server for one month, and then at the end of that month TRASH US TO HIGH HILLS AND BACK.
Becuase why? Because all they have to do is give an IP and a welcome letter from us? That's not likely.
So the OP thinks he doesn't have to prove his statements. Obviously WHT thought otherwise.
This thread will probably go away too at some point if the OP doesn't start providing something that allows us to review and validate or counterpoint his claims.
Mind you, as long as he doesn't throw libel, and we're able to at least get an idea of what he's talking about, i don't care if a thread stays up forever and a day. Even if we're in the wrong (We're only human.. we make mistakes).
But most logical people can surmise that unsubstantiated claims simply cannot be allowed to stay here and let people make judgments based on made-up "Data" and "personal experience".
The OP has yet to show that he subscribes to this logic.

This again goes to my suggested strategy that if all a person has to do is prove they were a customer, the one month of a $5.95 VPS could offer our competition endless amounts of trash talking and lies.
We still, to this moment, are not saying the OP doesn't have a valid claim. We just have no way to know, and if we can't even know if his claim is valid, how can anyone else?

They can't, and that's why no one will likely trust his review. If he was honestly interested in warning people and not just venting, he would provide what is necessary to prove that his situation is legitimate. There's plenty of people around here happy to prove how well Burst's service works.

Actually that's wrong.
We have had people blast us for being terminated for T.O.S. violations and the inability to pass a fraud check. They then will make up b.s. "reviews" based on their experience that has absolutely nothing to do with our real service offering. Then you have competitors on WHT who will always cite 'go look at their reviews'.
This is what the Burst rep is reviewing to. Completely b.s. reviews painting a tainted picture.BLAZINGSWITCH | sales /@/ blazingswitch.com

WHT can and does remove posts or threads. Refer to the Rules (linked at the top of every page.)
We don't know why WHT would remove the other thread, but perhaps the OP has not provided the required proof of his personal experience with Burst.net. Burst is a huge company, and I suppose people's experiences can be as varied as the number of servers they have, but my experience has been OK with them so far.

I provided proof to WHT that I was a customer of Burst and I'd offered, if required, to show the ticket emails to WHT.
I refused to post the details of my ticket here because I think Burst are quite simply the rudest people to deal with and I didn't want to discuss the whole incident again since this is simply a REVIEW and not a support request / public hearing.
The WHT rules do not state any requirement to post private support tickets. Although Burst may not like that, it shouldn't mean that they can put pressure on mods to remove threads.
Failing to post my ticket ID doesn't make my review any less accurate. The automatic bias towards 'oh he must be lying because he wont post his ticket ID' is nonsense.
People can take this review into consideration with the many others and then make their own minds up.

If your experience was so bad, just post the proof, Let burst verify your claims and move on.
