Experience with MyServerPlanet

Hello,
So around 5 days ago we got a VPS at MyServerPlanet. 2 days ago, it went down.
We sent a million tickets and no one helped us whatsoever. According to them, there was some connectivity issue, and they were asking me to "hold on". After 10 hours "holding on" and no replies at all, I obviously decided to go back to my old provider.
So, overall, MyServerPlanet is a cheap but an extremely bad provider for anything slightly serious.
They have no support at all and, for me, the VPS went down for over 24h after almost no time using them -ps. yes, the VPS is still down as of today. I also asked them for a backup once I gave up thinking they were going to put the VPS online, but they never gave me one either.
I also sent a million PM's to the owner of that, @MSPNick, but I also got no response. Server down for 24h, and still no ticket response at all. Luckily I moved back to my old provider already. Not recommended whatsoever

    A million tickets you say? That might be your issue. A good way to get someone to put you at the back of the queue is to annoy them.

    They even told you the issue meaning they are working on it... What more do you want?

    Hello,
    No no. This started normally. One ticket, and after 8h or so, they stopped responding at all. Then I sent more tickets. In any case, I've tried serious providers and if your server goes down, they don't leave you alone for fucking 24h and without any fix at all.
    With a serious provider, they fix it fast or they nsync your VPS into another one. And they also provide support to you, apart from a fix.

    No one partially decent would allow his VPS to be down for 24h and be fine with getting no replies form the support staff.

    Do you think after 8h they might have had nothing left to say? Can you post all the tickets you sent?

    Providers have issues from time to time, shit happens, plan accordingly.

    Okay, not even going to carry on talking to someone who is fine with his website being down for 8h and just assume that "shit happens". If you're serious enough you don't let your VPS be down for 8h and are fine with it + getting no support at all. Whatsmore, the VPS is still down after 24h of downtime. Also fine I guess.

    I asked for a nsync to another VPS and it wasn't performed either, although it was possible, since even they said it was.

    I posted my experience here. I got no support replies and my VPS went down for 24h (and still counting) after 3 days using their service. That's all I have to say. If that's bearable for you, then go ahead and buy their services.

    Actually all my sites fail over but we're not talking about set-ups here are we.

    Could you please post all tickets relating to this?

  • FalzoFalzo Member

    @fvsegarra what SLA did you agree with them upon your purchase? ah... I see.

    maybe host your important website over at onesite, heard they are running more serious business now and offer support around the clock for even free. :-P

    They probably have been unable to bring your server back up because they're working through all those tickets and PMs.

    I would assume Nick was taking care of the situtaion or will. You just signed up in a time while they were probably having some problems? They're not a bad provider.

    Just wait for his reply, i guarantee you there is an explanation

  • fvsegarra said: I also sent a million PM's to the owner of that

    Sounds like a good way to get your service cancelled.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    Is this one of the £3 NAT servers that comes with no support or SLA?

  • So, you're expecting some super-fast resolution; the likes you'd get off Amazon etc with bottomless pits of money off a provider that's clearly not as large. OK. No-one can expect a resolution like OVH when they employ hundreds of people, that's why you pay a premium. You're expecting a small provider to be able to resolve everything within a short period of time. May also be worth noting it's also a weekend.

    Never had any issues with Nick previously, 24 hours isn't too bad especially if there's an SLA you'd get credited back any lost service.

    I know Nick is a good guy, indeed.
    We just needed something more professional than what we got, I gues.
    We're back to our old provider -paying that premium is worth it

    I don't think so.
    We arranged everything via MP. I was looking for a VPS with unbranded WHMCS.
    I did want support for sure, he never mentioned anything about not providing me any support. In fact, he did help me out to migrate days before, so I guess it's the VPS with support incl

    What do you mean you don't think so? You don't know how much you're paying and for what?

    Sorry I should have been more clear, is its a £3.00 p/YEAR service was what I meant.

    Given that you wanted WHMCS I think we can rule that out :)

    He thinks so.

    On a ligher note, 8 hours of downtime is a lot, and I've faced the same. It's bad for business and you shouldn't stick with providers with less than 99.99% uptime.

  • Then it clearly wasn't that service, as our VPS was more expensive than that and it was billed monthly

    Yep it deffinatley is a lot, I was just trying to make sure this was not someone expecting 24x7 hands on fast responses and full support for an LES style product which Nick has, and that seems not to be the case.

  • To be precise, we were paying £18.88/mo and we got the unbranded whmcs license and the vps with: 50GB HDD, 4GB RAM etc. It seemed a good deal. I do get that for that price I cannot expect something exceptional. However, I wasn't expecting my VPS to be down for already +30h and almost no support nor intention to bring it up/do a nsync to another VPS. That's why I decided to leave :)

    That's a very small amount to pay for a server, let alone server with a WHMCS license. If you are expecting quality you really need to up it a lot.

  • Clouvider said: That's a very small amount to pay for a server, yet alone server with a WHMCS license. If you are expecting quality you really need to up it a lot.

    This, reckon you'd pay at least double for a rock solid uptime.

    MyServerPlanet's managed services come with RAID 0 by default

    Probably because now weekends, they may not operate in weekends like a most of Europe. Try to await Monday.

    For sales that's fine, for technical issues, allegedly at their side no.

    They also depends DC working hours and ability to fix troubles at the time. Most 24/7 technical supports advertised just fake, they have regular working hours and weekends

    Sole owner can control situation around the clock, and send responses quickly asap, registered business - no (not talking about all of them)
