RocketVPS 1m review
Well, it's been a little over 1 month since I bought my first VPS from rocketvps and I thought I would make a small review. I have 3 VPSs from them, 1 RS2 and 2xRS5 and all of them are excellent.
- Uptime: no downtime at all after the setup. Everything has been running great without any downtime on either of my 3 VPSs.
- Connection: I get GREAT connection speed and excellent latency. Even though the servers are in US on the East Coast, I still get constant 100ms ping from Germany. The connection speed is also very stable and not jumping around like crazy. I use VS2 as a VPN so connection quality matters a lot.
- Server load: Very low CPU and I/O load on the nodes where my VPSs are hosted. CPU load average is somewhere between 0.02 and 0.05 on my node, with the average rarely going over o.5. For I/O sequential write speed, see below data:
root@host [~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 4.44993 s, 241 MB/s
- There was an issue with 2 of my VPSs not responding after i added extra IPs to them. It appears that there was an error with SolusVM that disregarded the main IP after the extra IPs were added. Ticket action are as below:
03/04/2012 16:32 - I open the ticket about not being able to connect
03/04/2012 16:35 - First reply from them. I must have accidently opened this on Billing Dept cause they said they are moving the ticket to Support Dept.
03/04/2012 16:47 - First reply from support confirming the issue appears on their end also.
03/04/2012 17:02 - Problem fixed for both my VPSs
So under 30 minutes for complete resolution.
- The second ticked was about I/O poor and inconsistent speed. This turned out to be an issue with vswap and promted a move to the old UBC mode. I will not go into details here about this since there is a whole thread detailing this issue opened the day they launched. I only want to mention 2 things: the problem was solved very fast after it has been pointed out and they reacted promptly; the entire ticket communication was VERY fast, alsmost like a chat with 2-5 minutes between replies (where no investigation was required).
So, as a conclusion, I could not be happier with a VPS provider. The prices are 100% justified given the quality offered! And I would like to point out that for RocketVPS self-managed DOES NOT mean forgotten! I am yet to see another unmanaged provider with such quality support (of course, support is only offered on network and hardware issues, but it is still faster than most managed providers).Last edited by SCBit; 04-01-2012 at 02:04 PM.

I can also testify that the service has been excellent. I signed up the first week and other than my self-induced downtime there has been no problems or downtime with my VPS.
I also must say the day I caused my VPS not to boot, they had me fixed in less than 10 minutes.

I was expecting that "1m review" meant "review of my first minute with RocketVPS".
It is April Fool's Day, after all :-)

LOL... damn, I wish I would have thought of that

I've been using RocketVPS for a little over a month as well and they are great.
Would like to see them offer WHMCS licenses as KH does. I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon. Great company.

Love rocketvps! Only wished they offered the extra addons that KH did. WHMCS would be nice!
