UNIXy VPS Review


First of all, I no longer am running on UNIXy's servers.


The site: http://unixy.net/vpshosting.html
Registration Date: 02/06/2009
Cancellation Date: 05/28/2010

I can verify with a mod if need be that I owned a VPS with UNIXy, including invoice receipts for the entire period as well as my current possession of the server at least until the beginning of June.

Now for the review:

The service I received with UNIXy is the best I have had from any host. The support demonstrated such superior knowledge of Linux servers at all times at night (including 5-6am several times) and I have no downtime at the fault of UNIXy in over a year.

The support demonstrated the ability to effectively diagnose issues with the server in situations where many hosts would say "I restarted your server and it seems better now."

Uptime independently verified at http://www.webhostingstuff.com/uptime/EthosHosting.html

Also, there was one month in which I had to be late paying my invoice because I was moving money around between accounts. After alerting UNIXy there was no problem at all. I'm not saying UNIXy will take your payments late all of the time but merely that after being with them for a while they are definitely humans and can work with you on things if need be.

As I said before, I am no longer hosted by UNIXy. I moved merely as a cost decision because I was offered a special deal I couldn't pass up. In future purchases from my new host I will not be able to get this same deal so I will almost surely be back with UNIXy again.

I have no qualms about saying that UNIXy was, in my experience, a 100% uptime VPS. Leaving, even if only temporarily, was a decision I didn't take lightly.

Nice review, It's not often that you see good reviews on WHT, And most of the time they are fake .

Glad you were happy with them, Good luck with your new provider whoever that might be,

Sometimes Quality just doesn't come cheap, However dependent on the price Quality can be expressed with many different definitions.

Thanks for the review. Sounds like you had a really good experience.

If someone sold you a car for $500 would you expect it to run flawlessly?
