Have you considered the possibility that maybe they are coloing, with Server4You?

HostDime and Hetzner are willing to give out IPs (if you give a real damn good reason and I really doubt they are going to ARIN direct) where as Server4You will not.

According To Their Site: http://www.server4you.com/service/kontakt.php They're part of Hosting Solutions International, Inc.

And uh, they claim they are colocating, etc. I asked them about it, since I suspected they were using Server4You. I did some WHOIS work, and came up with his IP, and saw it was Server4You

Server4you is a f*cked up company.

Server4you is poison.

Something like this (which costs 55$/month when you opt in to pay 10€/month more instead of 150€ setup fee)

server4you.com

Server4You only allow 4 IPs.

Server4you.com or Datashack.com? please share your reviews with me. datashack provides more IP which is what i need.

Maybe hetzner/server4you gave him a free month start up as well?

4IPs are the maximum at server4you. One will be reserved for the node itself, so 3 to give out to his users.

Or Server4You boxes. :-)

I will retire one or two of my Server4You boxes if this performs as well as I expect it will. Thanks for the recommendation!

Fair enough, I might cancel one of my US Server4You boxes and give Hetzner a go! I am based in Europe now anyway so a fast box in Germany would be great. There are some good deals on the server biddin

Hetzner > Server4You

Server4you is quite reasonable as long as you don't mind that you get desktop hardware and a sometimes slow support.
