Review: Hostus.us

Greetings,

I like to tell you about my experiences with Hostus.us. I’ve been with them for a little over four months now and I can tell you I’ve had fantastic service. I currently have two virtual private servers with them. The load times on the servers are very quick and connection speeds are fast. They are a small hosting service out of Atlanta.

I don’t think I've had any customer service that quite matched what Hostus has given me. The technical support personnel I've always dealt with is Alexander M. This is great because I’m not dealing with a random support person every time I reply to the ticket. It’s also very scary because I don’t think Alexander ever sleeps because he usually responds to my tickets within minutes. I have opened up tickets in different times of the day and he seems be the one to respond to them within a very short waiting time.

Alexander has gone above and beyond for me to assist with my issues. My very first ticket with them was I was having issues with the network connection of my virtual private server. He checked all the switches, nodes, and any other technical term that fits. He spent two days given me regular reports on how my server was doing. Most hosting’s will respond to your ticket after 24 hours and tell you they didn’t find anything and if it happens again to open up another ticket.

I can tell you that the hosting as well as the customer service that is given is definitely a premium service. The funny thing is when I was looking at the deal last December on LEB. I thought to myself that it might not be a very good service since they were offering a 3GB RAM for only $7. Well I can definitely tell you that I was wrong in the service is worth every penny.

My Rating: 9/10

Alexander truly get come sleep because how fast you respond to my ticket is scary sometimes.

    No! I just wanted to show my support because they have been kind to me

    I also wouldn't say my writing is worth paying for anything

    and yes I only joined to post this because I normally just lurk on LEB/LET.

    People have paid for far worse reviews that this.

    I've had various accounts with HostUS in the past. Alexander was always quick to respond to support requests and seemed committed & hosting was always stable. I would recommend them.

    Dear Alexander,

    I just wonder: AS25926 seems to be unused. Just one example: http://bgp.he.net/AS25926
    Do you use another ASN for your services in the meantime?

    Kind regards
    -A

    We are switching to our own network (on said ASN) this week with ipv6 as well.

    i also have had a vps with HostUs, unfortunately that time the network particularly to Asia are quite slow. So I asked for a refund. (After try to recheck and solve the problem, ofcourse). And @AlexanderM kindly give the refund no question asked. The problem was i am in hurry that time, and need a vps to work flawlesly asap. I believe HostUs is a good Provider, just my bad luck. The support are Great, btw!

    At that time was Singapore and Indonesia. Speed was around 500KBps. Even using ssh are slow that moment.
