Sorry 2 weeks is 2 years to you. I guess I better pull up the exact millisecond of the provisioning and purchase.
@SSDBlaze Oh and the way you act help me realize my previous comment is 100% correct.
You're starting to sound like a kid playing Call of Duty now... Reviews are bad if they look fake. It's not that hard to comprehend.
I never asked for the exact millisecond of purchase. However, I'm not going to go around claiming my company is 10 years old because "there's no reason to pull up the exact millisecond of company being founded".
I understand that you want to exaggerate how long you've been in business, but please don't get defensive when you get called out on it.
@Jonchun
I never even did that. You came at me first haha.
Don't be jealous I can get a review, because that exactly what it looks like
At least he didnt put his website on the same server as his clients and discuss the resulting mess on WHT
Who did that?
edit: If you're trying to imply that I did, there was an issue where someone went through my DNS records and started ddosing all the subdomains. Yes, some clients were on the main IP of the shared server.
Anyways, you seem to know an awful lot about my previous DDoS situation. You sure you weren't the one targeting me? Surely you're not wasting your time digging through old posts just to win a catfight on LET.
Yeah, Im confused as well..
See my edit. I think he just has something against me. Gotta love how he hides in anonymity making asinine statements.
Oh boy...
Summer is coming!

That aside, this doesn't count a review. I, one with no hosting offers on my signature, think it really does smell fishy when someone registers just to post a review about a newly founded company.
But then again, what do I know?
It might be sincere as well.
Also, @Piglet, I wouldn't suggest anything to my family before throughly testing for a long time. Not especially it's a new service where most doesn't even know about it. Not if it's for recommending to my family.
Also, when you write review more than an opinion is usually expected. Like at least test results...
I didn't suggest it, I purchased it for them. I wasn't too afraid of it being a new service as I'm quite advanced in Linux and don't usually need help with that side of things. If for some reason it is offline, my fault or theirs they seem to have it fixed within the hour. I purchased my own first as I didn't want my family to lose work. I agree, my original post looks extremely fishy, I apologize for that, and for creating this extremely large thread. Definitely not my intention. My intention was to come back to where I looked for a host and to post my findings hoping to help others on their search.
HOST WARS!
Start a TV show
It'll be in the style of political debates:
'Well I put it to you, Sir, that your nodes are all slabbed and your mother is a dirty whore!'
"I'll have you know that I host over 1700 vms now. Please don't even talk to me if you haven't broken 1000"
At History 18
Its not about people taking a stab at the company (Well I am not and dont really care about doing that) its more down to the fact that your review, sign up time and everything else screams "Host just signed up, host just posted amazing review of own provider", something thats not cool and people frown on. It is easy for everyone here to jump to the conclusion that its a fake, and in all honesty it does look like its a paid, compensated or just out right fake review of the company because its just so general. You could write the same for nearly any host and it would apply.
Well maybe you should if you cant tell the difference between 1 and two months. 1 months 2 weeks is no where near the same as 2 months, while its only 2 or so weeks difference, its not the same.
@SNetworks1
That's so funny though, because if ramnode would've gotten a review like that on here, it would be an opposite outcome.
Quite probably. The difference is they have built up a strong reliable reputation, whereas you are not at all well known. Once you build up a good reputation you will get a bit more slack when it comes to reviews that look fishy.
Very true. I just can't believe the negativity a simple review pulled.
I hope to be more reputable by the time I get another review. However, I cannot control that.
Reviews build reputation, along with word of mouth and such, but a review like this showed no meat to what they were saying, and had holes in the story and inconsistency between what you said and they said. A good review will be honest and say whats good and bad, and back it up with something, so if they said they had great ticket response times, show that in the review so people can go "Yeah, thats right, they must be good" instead of this where the OP has more or less said you were great, and had registered the same day. That just screams "FAKE" and "HOST POST".
I understand what you're saying.
The whole timing of it all was just odd. I can see how some people found it suspicious.
Namecheap is probably as good as it gets. They are somewhat connected to eNom if I am not mistaken. If you're not going to sell domains, might I suggest considering Google Domains?
RN is definitely a reputable company, also thank you for your comment about DF.
You don't have to own your own DC. Eventually you will end up with Rack/Cage space where you have most of your business. It all starts with one server, it's how most of us started anyway!
Not a bad strategy :-)
