XFACTORSERVERS One Week Review
\Hey I just recently started with XFACTORSERVERS a week or so ago. Upon setting up my purchase I requested a Gig-E port. I said I can give more money. Well today I’m still awaiting my upgrade which is odd in my opinion. Usually if you ask for a server with most anything you can get a price, and have it set-up. I’ve seen server’s offered with 2Gig-E so I know it’s not impossible to provide it. Other then my large issue with the port speed the server seems fine. Good network so far, it’s reaching ~94 mbps which is top notch for a 100mbit.
Now the hardware is ok, I didn’t order the fastest on the block, a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, with 4 GB of ram, 250 GB HDD, 2TB of bandwidth, and Windows Server 64bit. Setup took about 14 hours. Not that bad.
Customer service, overall a good experience for a team of four they are almost always available via live chat. This for me makes solving issues so much more bearable, and efficient. Derek who is the owner knows a good bit about computers, but he really has a lot to deal with. They offer a lot more then just Dedicated servers..
Overall Rating: 8/10
Hardware 10/10
Network 9/10
Support 9/10
Customizability 5/10 (Will improve if they can get me moved to the Gig-E port I requested.)Last edited by hotpass105; 08-24-2009 at 06:21 PM.

HotPass,
Thanks for the great review and it's always nice to have someone write a good review as they are hard to come by. We will do our best to get that Gige port for you.
Thanks Derek.

Like one said on this forum;
Yes joining a hosting company is similar to getting married. Like a married guy saying 'It's been 24 hours and so far so good'. Reality Check!. You are on your honeymoon. Same goes with a webhost. Your first few days / weeks are the honeymoon period. It's the long haul which really matters.

That is true , but you should look at how many bad reviews on WHT for the first week and how many people say "TIME TO FIND A NEW HOST".
HotPass is expressing his intial experience with us , which many people do not get a good first week , if people only reviewed only 3 months in how would people know how the setup went etc.

It's nice to see some hosts that don't blatantly sell something they really can't provide (overselling).
I don't know about you, but if I had a shared hosting account I'd rather work with a company that is selling at sustainable margins.ColoCrossing - Dedicated to Uptime

Bring's me to this particular guy selling $29.75 per year accounts they maths indicates..
You would have to sell 1800 accounts just to have a wage of your own every year...
This guy does not have Google marketing advertises here with a post count of 10... Domain is just over a year old name servers indicate he only has 27 accounts.... I mean thats why I think $10 for 15GB is a great offer...Automated, Secure & Low Cost cPanel Backups (on the cloud)

We have never had a customer from Russia, so I am not exactly sure how you have experienced our shared hosting.
@ Verdict , Yes you are correct we are not in the market for shared hosting we just offer shared hosting as an extra service for our clients so they can host there clan websites and fast download for there game servers but that doesn't mean we can't offer the support & service any other shared hosting company that directly targets that market.
I also apperciate the support in this thread.
