Hello, I wonder if anyone has worked with Webtropia.com because I do not find much info about them. I am interested in their Supermicro servers.

Thanks.

I've had their cheapest Economy Server for a month or two now to play with. According to Munin the server was unreachable for an hour yesterday while the server was still up and running. That's the only downtime I've had thus far. Network speed is good too, at least measured from NL and the UK. When transferring files I usually get to up to 8 to 9MB/s and the latency makes it possible for me to work comfortably on the console with no noticeable delay (from NL).

I have no idea about the quality of their helpdesk, since I've never had to contact them.

edit: now that I think of it, the downtime was scheduled maintenance (core router update) and announced in an e-mail on the 23rd.

Mine went wrong. Took 30 Hour to recover. They said their Gbit router is dead and they took whole 30 hour to replace it and bring my server back online. The speeds are good [I had a biggest box for my client] but i transferred the server to OVH.
Be ready to face long downtime if something goes wrong.

Unless you're paying for a 1Gbit connection it all looks fine.

yes i will do this

Hey people you can order a VPS for free. [30 days] there. That will help you determine the connection.
I had no prob for 6 months but 30 hours downtime was simply bad for any host and especially the server that has lots of VPS.

What do you mean? Was the speed test performed on a 1Gbit connection or 100Mbit connection? If it is 100Mbit, all is fine. But if it's 1Gbit, then you should be worried.

I am using their Supermicro servers since June, I have 100% uptime at this moment.

Several years ago I have read some bad reviews about Webtropia support. I can tell you that this is history now!
Server deployment very fast( less 24 hour), custom request quicly done ( Plesk licence 10 domains free for CentOS, even in the setup wizard wasn't available)

The team reply the ticket request very fast( I mean sometimes minutes)

But, the best of all? They have the courage to go public FaceBook Webtropia
If you choose facebook, you cannot hide from your clients.

On the other hand, unbeatable pricing at professional servers!
Please note that I am not related, my company is in domain business .Eu Accredited Registar, so this is the truth!

PS
Beware of Server4you unlimited traffic. They limit the speed to 10 Mbps after transfer of more the 75GB/day. At least, Webtropia are fair: the limitation is only after 2000GB!

I can tell you otherwise. Server deployment took 4 days after promises/lies of it been setup multiple times.

I requested a IP block at setup, they told me to send justification to another address. I did not recieve another email from them until one month after i had already paid for them, saying we could not have them.

So i asked to cancel and got told the only way i could cancel was in writing.

There a complete joke.

I am just telling my experience. Let me doubt about your good faith, you seem to be a hosting competitor!

[GetKVM_Ash]

I am not a competitor we dont offer dedicated servers?

We purchased some dedis from them for new VPS nodes. Hey if you dont want to listen to my opinion, thats your choice.
