I used them once last year, I got one of the Atoms at $10 per month
The ticket replies were extremely fast from what I remember. I didn't have any real issues though, just a question about the server.
Perhaps their support is fast but not helpful?
I totally fell for it somehow.
It's like saying the dollar store will sell me an official Apple cable. Now I'm not saying that there might be a good product here and there. It's just that you know what you're getting yourself into. Sometimes, you won't get the level of quality that you expect, and sometimes, it will exceed it.
tl;de both of you guys are right, but it's like saying the dollar store has a history of selling high quality products. Maybe once in a while, but not always. The same thing goes with servers and providers.
cheap and powerful.
You are the master of necromancy.
If you want to do something mission critical, you should use managed dedicated server with SLA guarantee.
Oh, WholeSalesInternet also have SLA compensation but that is just a joke :P (you get 1/30 of the server fee if your server is down for 1 whole day)
I used them for many years (WSI/NOCIX) and I ran production stuff on the servers I rented. No problems except the occasional outages, but that wasn't a problem for me. I had oversight with it
I've cancelled most of my services with them now, though. I'm only running some cheap ones that I just can't let go mainly due to the price. Plus, I've had zero issues with those boxes. It's amazing the torture they go through daily and they still work fine so far, hehe.
@k0nsl I totally agree.
Same for me. I do run a couple of cheap servers for production needs, having those services mirrored and properly backed up daily. Not even a single serious issue, thought , till now.
Giving the money I would spend to rent half a server from a big "better" company, I rent 4 servers for the main and backup servers/vps in different locations. And the speed and connectivity is great for my needs, also. It all depends on your needs.
