edited July 2012 in General

Just wondering, why xenvz become less popular here?
Pros:

  • very stable
  • good uptime
  • fast CPU
  • big RAM

Cons:

  • very slow support
  • small disk
  • small data transfer/bandwidth.

    Their main point against its "PRICE", they are more expensive than a normal LEB provider, for example:

    Bronze plan:

    • 128 MB RAM
    • 128 MB Burst/swap
    • 5gb
    • 250 gb transfer
    • $ 7.90 USD per month

    The only way to get a cheap price with them is buy using one of their not so often promos.

    Their Maidenhead location is really stable but you can probably get a higher resource, higher performing UK vps elsewhere for the same or just a little bit more than you would pay for one of their specials.

    I think it is common here to use LEB price?

    Have some recommendation for Xen, 256MB, min 10GB?
    Not necessary in UK, any europe/westcoast location will be fine
    Most reputable providers here use KVM : buyvm, hostigation, edist, prometeus.
    I don't need KVM, i already have.

    Xen.... HTTPZoom has been doing a good job IMHO,

    httpzoom.com and bhost.net both offer cheaper options at the RapidSwitch Maidenhead datacenter.

    Rapidswitch for us has been very good so far!

    Service they offer is still solid as a rock however:

    • it's not that easy to get in touch with Sean sometimes.. not as before

    • when they started new location (newcastle) Sean said that IPv6 will be available in next few weeks in NC and other location will follow soon. Now, year or so later... still no IPv6 available anywhere. I know for case when someone ordered their VPS because false promise that IPv6 will be available in next few days/weeks.

    I often recommended XenVZ around however I am not doing this anymore. Not because quality of their hosting service would decrease, they are still good old stable XenVZ but because it's too hard to get a hold of Sean sometimes when is needed (which in my case isn't often).

    CONS (also)

    • support system sucks
    • older templates (still no 12.04 LTS in the control panel)
    • custom and hard to understand control panel
  • NekkiNekki Veteran

    I've always found XenVZ rock solid personally, although can't comment on support as I've never needed any.

    Also a +1 for HTTPZoom, got a couple of services with them and they've proved just as good, although I have some weird problems with tinyproxy memory leakage on their Xen package.

    That is not true, Prometeus has Xen too. I had a package I gave up last week because it is going too hard to keep track of all these lebs...
