Soladrive Dedicated Server 3 Years Review
Hello Friends,
I have moved to SOLADRIVE on September 2014 From HUDSONVALLEYHOST with 3 Dedicated Servers
Its been more then 3 Years now moving to Soladrive, so i feel its high time to post a detailed In depth Review
My Previous Hosts are
- Hostgator
- Proaxxs
- Hudsonvalleyhost
You can see my previous reviews of Hostgator / Proaxxs HERE and Hudsonvalleyhost HERE
Without wasting much time lets go straight into the Review
Server Pricing : 9/10
I have 3 Dedicated Servers with them
1. Intel E5-1650v4 12 x 3.6GHz
2. Intel E5-1650v4 12 x 3.6GHz
3. Intel E3-1230v2 8 x 3.3GHz
All the servers are Premium Quality Fully Managed Servers with Cpanal Licences
And their Pricing is Cheap and Best
I get all this Combined for 500$/Mo Which i this is way too cheap for the Server Quality and Features i get
Im not sure if any other hosts available for such low Rates
For all 3+ Years the price has been the same , which is good
And to make things better Soladrive purely understood some of my websites bad situations and gave me good discounts and took some server invoice off plenty of times (when ever the website traffic is less or when ever server or website is down )
i cant even remember how much discounts they have given me till now
And also they allow me to pay my invoices late without any penalty when i cant able to pay the Invoices on time
The one and only thing i feel is not comforting is that u might get blacklisted IPs for the server
which u must be careful when ordering their servers
Server Performance : 9/10
In short the server performance is "Simply Outstanding"
Their Servers are Fast,Reliable, Superior Performance
To add to its performance Soladrive fine tune the server with perfection
I was having no big issues with the servers for the past 3+ Years
A few downtime here and there is quiet normal i think
Soladrive Support : 10/10
I was thinking of giving more the 10 for their support, Such was their Superior support
"Fully Managed Servers" They truly maintain the meaning of "FULLY MANAGED SERVERS" such will be their management
They take care of every possible things of the server
- Fine tuning server for optimal performance
- Ticket Responce 5 Mins Max , I dont remember them replying in more then 10 Mins
- John B - (President of Operations) will be Available in Skype 24/7 , Even on Holidays and Late Night if there are any emergency Situation
- Account Transfers, SSL Installations , Server Monitoring, DNS Issues , database Optimization, You just open a ticket and it will be fixed in Mins
- They even Support me in my website script side ( Script Updating, Script Optimizing, Fixing Errors , SEO , Ect
- DMCA complaints will be taken care with proper notifications and they help me all the time to remove those complaint Contents from my website
- Once One of my Website was Hacked and the whole database was erased, At those moments Soladrive Guys Fixed the issue and brought back the database through R1 soft backup. which was Simply Unbelievable
Some times they even Push me to the limits by upgrading my websites , Make marketing and to make my Websites Better and Better and keep improving all the time
I do some times get confused if they are my hosts or they are my Website Partners , Such will be their involvement in improving my Sites
Im very sure i cant get a better support then Soladrive any where else. DOT
Conclusion : 10/10
I am very very happy to be with SOLADRIVE as my host
Lately my sites are having very less traffic and revenues have gone down badly
At one point i was thinking of selling my websites
But John B - (President of Operations) Kept encouraging me Kept giving me discounts Even gave me offers to improve my website traffic and if at all im still a webmaster thats becoz of Soladrive
To cut short i feel Soladrive as my family and will continue to be with soladrive for ever ....................And i strongly recommend Soladrive for my Friends and other Webmasters.

Great review and certainly a support attitude that all providers should emulate. There are going to be issues here and there with every provider, but how they're handled separates the amateurs from the professionals. Kudos to the SolaDrive staff.

It's refreshing to read such positive reviews on here; when the majority are all negative. I hope you continue to have a stellar level of excellence with them for many more years to come!
