Support: 1 ticket.
When I purchased, I didn't choose any OS, so the VPS wasn't auto provisioned. I opened a ticket and asked for help. They replied in 1 minute, and problem solved.
Overall experience:
Fast VPS with fast network connection.
Support is fast and friendly.

1 hour ago, you asked what tool is it. Now you are showing us an uptime report using that 'tool' dated back 2 months?
Because I used many tools to monitor the uptime, and don't remember what tool can generate this report.
I think his point is; unless you set the tool up historically how did it record the data?
To clarify, I already setup many tools to monitor uptime in the past: uptimerobot, pingdom, nodequery, turbomonitor, gotsitemonitor, statuscake and few others.
And when I write this review, I just want to know what tool can generate the report like that. I didn't remember so asked here, and then luckily I logged in to StatusCake dashboard, and realized that's it.
There is down (more than 1 minutes) when they Updated linux kernel few days ago.
overall all good, since august on Lighting SSD 1024

@rokok how can you get 51GB HDD.
Does ServerBear add swap to HDD?
i duno, first thing after bought i run test ;p
What 51 GB? 50GB = 51200 MB
What are you talking about?
referring to your post 2nd above mine
Awesome to hear that you guys are happy. We've got a few things planned for the next two or three weeks, but have been a bit backlogged on the new features.
We're hoping to roll out rebootless updates (via kSplice or KernelCare) and free weekly backups. From there, we'll begin tackling the next set of updates and upgrades.
IO Speed is awesome,
Will take server from them for webserver if i'll need any in coming future
50GB = 51200MB
Instead of Serverbear dividing MB by 1024 to get GB they probably divide by 1000, so to them 51200MB = 51GB (rounded down)
I'm hoping to improve it...
That would be my guess.
