[-Sandro-]

anybody had experiences with spacerich VPS?
here I just found a few reviews, but not very complete.

[XeHSean]

What in particular interests you about them? What sort of requirements do you have? Perhaps we can recommend a few more hosts for you to choose from

[Nnyan]

The domain name has been around for almost 5 years a bit odd that there aren't more reviews. The whois info is privacy protected (not a good sign for a host IMHO). I would more then likely recommend that you stay away.

[Negizmo]

I'm going to have to agree with Nnyan, no host should be using privacy protection on their WHOIS info unless they have something to hide.. otherwise they should have no real problem with people having their contact details.. in some situations it may be necessary for the customers to contact the address/phone listed, and if that's not possible you're pretty much screwed.

Also, a host thats a scam (not that I'm saying this company is a scam for sure, but it's always a possibility) would of course want to hide such information.

Take a look through the VPS offers section/peoples signatures, you should have no issue finding a provider that seems more reputable.

What provoked your interest in spacerich anyway?

I guess, it is listed on lowendbox, and the vps is pretty cheap.

Their VPSes are hosted with SingleHop datacenter.

that's right I saw it on that site.

I don't know...I think you all maybe right

But scam? If they were a scam what did they live on since 2005?

I don't think this is a scam at all, I have a VPS with them, it is working fine for me.

Well, supposedly (from their offer thread) you can check them out risk free:

"For further questions / custom quote / 5 days trial VPS account -- please contact our Sales department by clicking here"

I inquired over a week ago and never got a response.

[Negizmo]

I still wouldn't go with them, as there's no logical reason for them to be hiding their contact information if they are a totally legit company.

[Spacerich]

Hello all,

I will try to put in the missing information.

About Privacy Protection:
We never thought enabling privacy protection could make suchha difference. Disabled now. You can attempt to spin this in any manner you like. The truth is, we are not hiding (since 5 years!) and our office address is on our website contact page itself.

Sorry for that.

We cannot offer trial VPS if:

- Trial requested for the plan which is out-of-stock.
- For the plan you requested, if number in stock more or less equals number of Pre-orders (happened for most of the cases) We need to respect the pre orders.
- Requests with addons (like control panels, extra IPs)

The best way is, to order existing (in-stock) plan skipping the invoice-payment part. Open a new ticket with Sales with "Trial VPS Request" in subject and inform us your order number to activate. That will be handeled promptly.

Some background info: We are not very active on WHT. Not all of our products/offers are advertised (offer threads) on WHT. In other words, less than 15% of our clients come from WHT.

Right.
US VPS: SingleHop, Inc.
DE VPS: Hetzner Online AG
(Currently in talks for:- FR VPS: OVH, CH VPS: Solnet)

[Nnyan]

No spin here just my honest opinion that a privacy protected whois info for a host is a red flag in my book, but kudos for disabling it (my objection against SR based on that issue retracted). Nothing wrong with not being active in WHT this is just one of many hosting communities no one expects everyone to be everywhere.

@linuxclark could you run unixbench on the server and post the results?
