I haven't used them (as far as I can recall at least) but I remember this thread from last month: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/179158/alexhost-cc-ing-all-their-clients-emails
Accidentally leaked their entire customer database.
Yes, I know about the leak, but about that I couldn't care less.
(edit: withdrawing the rant for now because it seems like an isolated issue)
I am using them for almost 2 years. No issues so far.

@imgmoney what range were you assigned?
37.221.0.0/16
I checked the UpTimeRobot notification for the downtime alert. I saw it only two times.
1) 1 minute, 8th August 2021
2) 2 minute, 17th September 2021
And no alerts since then.
My Vps almost every week has some down time. The last time was yesterday

You have 99.95% uptime. I have 94% according to UptimeRobot.
Actually, according to the ping metric I have 0% uptime, because none of the servers on my range respond to ping. You know, standard practice.
I have using them for Warez and freedom of speech (right-wing) no issues so far.
https://alexhost.com/vps/ I'm using their 2 package unmanaged VPS
With incognet both are great, here is the uptime of my vps in alexhost

That is when Anti-DDoS Protection is ON, the ping is disabled by default. And if you check looking glass ping is also disabled most of times. Of course when you ping to it, uptime tools will report "offline" when isn't.
Not entire.. partial of some 1 Node. Not more than that.
That's funny. I too blame DDoS protection because the outages are kinda periodic. The support is completely clueless. Any idea how to turn it off? Don't see a way to disable it in the control panel.
Actually, after lowering UptimeRobot interval I get even lower uptime - 90%. Also the network chart shows that I went through 400 GB incoming bandwidth in less than a month, while I have nearly zero logs for the services I run on that VPS. Somebody pounding the server with insane 250 kilobytes per second DDoS attack is enough to bring the whole system to its knees?
using it for 1 year. I haven't had any big problems.
Using it for for almost 1year. Mysql server getting down most of the time for 3-4minutes. But server become unreachable for 1-3% in every month. And i saw cpu Steal % is high sometime everyday. 1£/monthly is suitable for the service. I think best at price. I would like to use there upgraded packages soon.
How do you measure cpu steal?
Sar
been with them for months. so far so good. Hosting adult and warez with no problem
From where have you bought domains? And what precaution steps need to be taken?
use a domain that is not part of ICANN. make your VPS locked down where only cf and your personal IP can access it and everyone else is blocked. I have a forum so i use another server as my smtp with some privacy tweak so it will only show my SMTP IP and not the real IP of my VPS.
That makes my VPS ddos protected, invisible to IOT scanners, unreachable by everyone except for myself and cf ip's and etc.
in general this is applicable to my vm also, ty
As long as you know how to set it up. Yes it is.
You or anyone can try to scan my site as much as you can and if you can extract my vps real IP. I will give you 8gb ram 4vcpu vps
no major downtimes on alexhost.
but the network speeds are terribly low for production-usage.
I'll post speeds later here today!
Alexhost is a spam operation. Alex runs Contrust Solutions which is a 100% spam network and can be seen under his ASN: https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/data/md.cseurope.html
https://bgp.he.net/AS200019#_prefixes
https://bgp.he.net/net/62.68.73.0/24#_dns
https://bgp.he.net/net/77.90.190.0/24#_dns
If you see Contrust Solutions there is a 100% correlation to spam and a 0% correlation to any other activity. RIPE associating Contrust with "alex" and Alexhost delegating ranges to Contrust, I can only reasonably conclude that Alex is a career spammer. Doesn't look much better if you break out of Contrust Solutions and just look at any other Alexhost range: https://bgp.he.net/net/176.123.2.0/24#_dns
Don't give him your money. Don't financially support spammers.
