WebNX - 1 month review
www.webnx.com
I've been with WebNX for a little over a month now so I thought it would be time for a review
Hardware / Price
This is really a point where WebNX excels. I have a Dual Opteron 244, 2GB RAM, 2x36GB 15K RPM SCSI disks in RAID 1. Without mentioning the exact price, I'm paying just over a third what some other "bigger" companies would charge for a box of this spec (seriously). WebNX is really flexible with hardware. Whatever it is that you need to host, they definitely have a solution available for you. The hardware benchmarks well and haven't had a single problem with performance on this box.
Network
I chose the Mzima network and I've been thoroughly satisfied with the (lack of) latency and performance. I can't complain. They also offer lots of network options, including Linkline (premium), Mzima (premium), and Cogent (value). So not only are they very flexible hardware wise, but also network wise.
Support
Always there when I need it. No complaints. Dan and Steven are awesome to work with and have gone above and beyond what I'd expect them to do. Very 'personalized' support, you don't just feel like a number (as opposed to a customer) as you do with some other companies. I've had reboots done within just minutes, so the response time is definitely there.
I highly recommend anyone looking to get a dedicated server to try out WebNX. They're very good with custom setups where you need fast CPU & I/O. Check out the advertising forums for Dan's weekly offers, some great deals there!

Another thumbs up for WebNX!
I also think Dan and Steven are great to work with as well.
With that said: you meant to say lack of latency I would assume.

I would love to see more feedback coming, please
I saw a number of positive reviews, but not that many. Their website doesn't help either... to say the least.
I am especially interested to know how night reboot requests are handled and whether anyone experienced a down time during summer blackouts?
Thank you.

layer0, thanks you to share your positive experience with us. It's always pleasant to read good feedbacks but you're only a month with this hosting. We'll see how everything will be in at least half a year.

Just ordered a server with them and it's reviews like this that helped me make the decision. That said, because of their propensity for custom configs and lack of an online configurator, they're not the place to go if you need to order today and have the box online tomorrow.
OTOH, that does help in avoiding the clients who don't speak English well, need 10 servers ASAP, and want to pay with 10 different credit cards. :-)
