Review of Servint vps after 6 weeks
Hello All,
Just thought I would add my 'two cents' in a review of my experience of using an Essential + VPS with Servint after 6 weeks.
I signed up with servint based on
- the reviews on this site (thanks everybody for your contributions, it made a huge difference in making my decision)
- it was a toss up between servint, knownhost and wiredtree - all good companies.
- the cost of the vps
- the ram available
- that it was managed (thank god... the headaches I have avoided, and have been able to pass on to servint tech support - sorry guys and gals)
To be quite honest I have been a bit of a pain in the b**t to these guys and gals... I have been on to them with anything and everything. Apart from my queries about 3rd party stuff like cloudflare and sitelock - which I understand, they have really delivered for the $59 a month they charge. In fact I have probably gotten more value for money from the Managed support as part of the Vps, than it costs me to pay for the Vps.
Anyway, on to the practical stuff
- Set up CSF and Lfd = Yes, no problem
- close ports and mail (to secure vps) = Yes, no problem
- Libww-perl Access and Unknown Rbt. = Sorted out, no problem
- did stuff with mod_apache and god knows what else = Yes
- Using google apps (gmail) = Yes, set up on Vps, no problem
Customer Service/Tech Support:
- availability = Yes, always answered or responded within 10 minutes, but usually quicker
- response = Yes, friendly and helpful
Uptime - monitored with site24x7
no problems - no downtime so far
Overall experience:
- Easy to sign up and set up.
- Would suggest some reading up on .htaccess and vps security before going live, perhaps an intro/welcome mail from servint could provide some links/guidance
- good ping times with pingdom and watchmouse
- friendly staff who seem to know their stuff, and genuinly seem to be interested in solving problems and addressing issues.
- Would recommend for a beginner
- Would recommend to anybody from Ireland or the UK, servint's price for a managed vps with cpanel is the cost of an unmanaged vps without cpanel in Ireland!
Recommendation:
Give them a try for yourself, and see what you think. I would strongly suggest that you read up and take advice on security and what you want - they will help, but you need to know a bit, even stuff you glean from sites like this and other sites.
For a beginner, Yes, I would recommend servint. So far everything has worked out ok for me.
Hope this is helpful.
Robert
