Hostslick review after nearly 1 year usage

I got this OVZ vps from hostslick on last year's xmas.
Time flies so fast and I'm surprised it's been nearly 1 year so I would like to share my review.
The server works stable in the past year without downtime and the performace is still good.
Although it seems a bit problem in fio speed test but there is no issue in real use.
And it even have more disk space than listed specs on website.

Where are you hosted? I am asking this because I had a really good Hostslick deal and as much as I wanted to like it, I couldn't because of all those downtimes on a regular basis. At some point there were a three half-day outages within a two weeks or so.
They even sent out RFO, so it's confusing that you didn't have any outage unless you're reviewing product you already talked about and use for free.
and also
But you didn't have any outage?
@Rockster I have the same problem, I have both locations, I already cancel one, and I will the other one too, I'm tired of excuses... WHEN IT WORKS good is a pretty good deal/provider but way too many downtimes/outages
Could be. There are Many Racks in both locations. Most lelystad VPS are hosted in same Rack. Some are not because we started to use some of the Dedicated Servers we usually rent out for VPS as well.
I had Many issues with Almere lately. Especially VPS. Partially affecting some lelystad hosted VPS since we have o use some IPv4 of Almere in Lelystad. And reverse. IP shortage.
One included a damage due to a fire in the Province which caused the UPS to not kick in becsuse of a surge of 280V peak instead normal 230V.
Lelystad was affected too but it survived.
https://nltimes.nl/2022/09/03/trains-stop-road-closes-flevoland-due-power-outage-damage
(Both locations Cisco Routers interconnected with a dedicated darkfiber)
And then becsuse network is very big now, arp issues in some bigger VLAN when one location goes off. Affecting some of the other.
But it will be changed. Some network parts still exist since the beginning. It grew fast from end 2019 7 Servers and a Rack into hundreds of servers. Demand is high. I now can Order and install.
30/50 New dedicated servers. And Sell off quick when I want.
It will change.
what year was this from, is that 1 year from 2018? Nice review btw
@Hostslick Would be great if you could fix the webhosting. MySQL and https://sharedhost2.hostslick.com/phpmyadmin/ is down for a month and PHP doesn't work correctly too. My website isn't working for two months now. Support doesn't even answer (Ticket #588847)
Whats that fio result? Is this running on a floppy disk?
i had severe issues in latency between other nodes (i run a k8s cluster across several providers), since i replaced hostslick it runs evidently by monitoring much more stable. I guess hostslick is good if you plan to use it for traffic or other non-critical operations.
... tbh a short YABS is really awful "review"
I believe it is the 8 inch floppy disk because of the soft plastic cover which might be a bit overheated.
