server-factory.com: reliable?

vitobottavitobotta Member

I am thinking of switching my wife's shop from Shopify to self hosted Prestashop, so I am looking at some decently fast VPS with a good amount of storage.

I think someone suggested server-factory.com to me not long ago so I had bookmarked it.

A Ryzen 5950X with 4 cores, 16GB of RAM, 200GB of NVME storage and 32TB@1Gbps is 17e/mo, so it looks pretty good.

But I am a bit skeptical because the website seems to be just the ordering panel, there is not even a single "marketing" page etc.

Is this host reliable? Does anyone have experience with them and can tell me about the uptime?

As you may have read in another thread I am currently using an ultra cheap VPS from SSDNodes for my personal non critical stuff, but this is my wife's shop and needs to be online for obvious reasons, so uptime is important.

Thanks in advance

    Pretty reliable IME. So far, so good.

    Thanks, I just saw other comments and reviews as well as I realized that I typoed when I searched the first time. I like that I can customize the amount of storage, which is good because of the pictures for the products.

    In terms of uptime, would you trust it with a shop?

    Why not netcup or php-friends?

    The configs/prices look better on Server factory

  • vitobottavitobotta Member

    @mxmla Hi, in past discussions I found I read that your virtual servers have dedicated cores/threads, but on the website I read only "vps", not "vds". Are they still dedicated?

  • vitobottavitobotta Member

    I'll order one for one month. I have read many positive comments

  • rattlecattlerattlecattle Member

    Have a couple of VDS. Reliable and no issues with uptime so far.

    Uptime has been great so far. They are relatively new to the market so there is that.

  • vitobottavitobotta Member

    Wow. I contacted support to open port 587 since I hadn't realized I could do it myself from the control panel, and they answered in like 2 minutes!

  • cpsdcpsd Member

    Here you have a happy customer :). My vps is stable and support is great. I use it as my main remote desktop computer from a rpi :D .

  • vitobottavitobotta Member

    Uhm...so many nice comments about them. I wonder if I should get rid of SSDNodes after all also for my stuff..

  • ralfralf Member

    Yeah, server-factory is good.

  • nick_nick_ Member

    Yes, I have been using their EPYC VDS in production for half a year and no issues so far.

    But are the cores still dedicated? The website says "vps" not "vds"

    There were VDS plans until recently. They're not offering the VDS line anymore unless you ask them to limit the CPU or so from what I read.

    It's also good that it's monthly payment so you won't need to transfer it away with some strange excuse in month or two once you get bored with it :)

    Yeah :) Like:

    I have 3 budget virtual servers which I purchased very recently from GreenCloudVPS available for transfer, all in Frankfurt (Germany) location. The servers are awesome but I decided not to continue to self host apps due to lack of time.

    and

    Yes I moved everything to hosted services. I love self hosting but now I have one more reason not to do it, because I enrolled in the Offensive Security academy to get some certifications in cybersecurity, and therefore I want to dedicate my free time to it and nothing else for now.

    Just to start hunt for new servers few days later.
    I don't judge you, we're all in the same boat here... :)

    I changed mind simply because I enjoy managing servers and that stuff. Can a person change mind? Is it a capital sin? Does it bother you?
