Review
Being new to the whole VPS scene they helped educate me on what I need, the process, and some of the basic administration of a VPS, such as SSH access, ect. I am very thankful because of that, it was helpful being a new guy to a VPS, up from Reseller and Shared hosting.
The account was setup within a day, would have been sooner although I screwed up on my Gmail account, so don't order a VPS at 1:00 AM
Anyways, process was quick, payment was accepted, logins e-mailed, I was all setup.
Whenever I have had to submit a ticket to support the wait hasn't been long at all, same with IM support great too. Might add its fully managed, although I like to handle this stuff myself so the guidance they provided was great.
Pretty far I have had a positive experience with them, no major complaints. Although its been a month and a half its been a positive one, the only complaint is the high price tag, which is the reason I am forced to leave, because its out of my budget. I am sure they will improve there business more over the years, and look to see it grow.
If anybody is considering them I would recommend them, very helpful, IM support almost at anytime of the day, if your on the East Coast. Fast setup, maintain communication via tickets and IM, I haven't called in yet though.
Only downside...
Recently as of the end of August I get a daily e-mail from IDF (firewall) saying someone tried to login to SSH and they were banned. Within the last week or so I have had 1 DDoS attack they warded off by nulling the IP addresses of my box, and making it unavailable for quite some time. Electrical maintenance they said was preformed a few days ago, server was offline for the morning and late afternoon. Still random DDoS attempts and China trying to break into my SSH.
They said they were going to implement a hardware prevention thing, although no clue on the status of that.
I mean its not a big issue, not saying its going to happen elsewhere, nor should you completely rule them out because of this just want to post a fair review.
Conclusion
- Personalized support
- Fast Setup
- Issues resolved quickly
- Great hardware
- Random SSH brute attempts
- Attempted DDoS attack
- Recent maintenance issues
