HeartInternet - 99p deals!

I've just come across this, heart internet have a sale on until January and you can get a VPS for a year only costing you 99p!!

And a few other things as well, I know the reseller stuff is rubbish but a VPS for a year for 99p. Seriously?

This is either a good or bad thing.

Anyway, https://www.heartinternet.uk

Anyone used them for a VPS? Curious to know if they're any good.

    I'm fairly certain this is more like overpowered shared hosting, with no root access..

    You may need to wait until Monday since you just hit a loong (49 hours) weekend in Europe. :)

    This is just a crap Managed VPS offer which means you won't get any root access. Same unmanaged VPS is GBP 19.99/month.

  • hzrhzr Member

    managed vps is not 'crap', and you don't need root access. it's great hosting.

    Exactly. I'll let they handle my porn collections.

    Hi There,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    You can certainly have an account with us, but unfortunately as you are outside of our default country list you will either need to call our Sales phone number so we can open the account for you (on +44.2070239001) or email [email protected] with all the answers/data for each of the fields on the sign-up form you would enter and we will complete this for you.

    Best Wishes,

    .............. End Email ...............

    What I did was signup with VPN to signup, then closed VPN and logged in to order. I can't order while VPN was on cause it will give error Location cann't be verified etc. after signup/login page.

    I do remember 15 years ago was company called Supanames doing the same thing offering a managed VPS service but really selling shared account with more resources.

    One of our clients has a bunch of stuff with Heart. One of the worst companies you can choose. Not worth it even at this price.

  • RossGRossG Member, Host Rep

    I would definitely avoid Heart. They've gone downhill ever since being bought out by HEG. Regular issues and outages, eg

  • JordJord Moderator, Host Rep

    Are they mad? Oh wait it's GoDaddy that's why.

  • Placed an order. It told me to call them to complete it. Ehh not worth the time.

  • 99p, still too expensive. Needs to be lower, give people a break, they are exausted from all work and no pay makes Jack a poor boiae.

  • In the personal sense, Ill avoid storing important information in this supplier...

    its .99 + VAT, billed annually

    We've got an offer for you that sounds too good to be true

    Honestly, it does, for a managed service.

  • I contacted them myself to see if more ips could be added they told that they couldn’t add any additional IPS due to it being managed server and I’d need to use the unmanaged server to add additional IPS.

    ok. find other providers then.
