Dacentec 2021 Review
The analysis of a customer who has trusted Dacentec since 2019.
I trusted to take my equipment there in 2019, and I see that I made the right choice, almost everything there is very good.
Support:
It really is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a well-trained and fast staff. (Robert 
)
Network:
Link reaching 900/800 Mbps on Speedtest and a great ping for South America (140ms for Brazil, 90ms for Colombia, 160ms for Argentina and Chile)
Hardware:
Finally, they added good hardware to stock and for a low price... SSD speeds are good
DDoS Protection:
DDoS is the biggest problem I have at Dacentec, I use BuyVM tunnels to solve it. If you're not a constant target of attacks, their protection should work well. (I would love to see path.net or Voxility in Dacentec by default)
Uptime:
Maintenances are announced 1-2 weeks in advance and I personally have never suffered from a power outage, as other topics say (or don't I remember?)

Comments
This wasn't run on the SSD was it?
no, obvious
on this server the SSD is only used for some files
Their website isn't loading for me. I know it was many years ago and probably different ownership back then, but it gives flashbacks. On uptime I had eventually put them a notch above VolumeDrive in my head.
Edit: Website came back up but was verifiably down at first.
Yes, at times the site seems to be powered by coal - nothing some F5s can't solve

Nice.
you are doing more damage than good.
sometimes i fail in the mission of being a good guy
That's ok, but don't fail in the mission of being a good provider for your customers

"Dacentec did exactly what you said it does. It's just amazing. Keep up the excellent work. Definitely worth the investment."
Did you only tested North Carolina or did you also try their Buffalo, NY, datacenter?
I would like to know if Dacentec Buffalo would be as good for you.
