EXTREMELY NOT RECOMMENDED.
TICKETS TAKE WEEKS TO RESOLVE.
CONSTANT NETWORK PROBLEMS.
REALLY BAD PERFORMANCE.
As previous mentioned, the company changed hands mid 2015 and the new owners upgraded things across the board. Maybe most importantly, the entire service team was overhauled and brought in-house. @Traffic , if you have a ticket # post September 2015, please provide it. If not, we ask you politely to stop spamming our offers with nonsense.
@Virpus
How is it nonsense if he had such (bad) experience with you guys?
Claiming changed hands and that things improved, is a weak defense tbh.
If you take over a company, you will have to work on loosing the bad rep. Do you expect people to forget about it?
Moreover there have been many members here who've already experienced the same with the "new" management
He didn't have a bad experience with us, and thus his argument regarding tickets taking weeks is nonsense. I fully understand we have inherited the old rep, and we intend to change it, but Ken is no longer with the company and things are done differently now.
All I ask is to provide your experiences post management change (with ticket #'s). We're here to make things better for everyone, not to deliver bad experiences.
Thanks,
Virpus Team.
any room to give them a second/final chance.
We complete our final network upgrade in less then 3 weeks. Would be happy to comp @Traffic , or any other ex client pre September 2015, a free month of service on a reasonable plan.
Thanks @ehab .
I thought you was brought by WOW in 2014?
Wow couldn't handle it and had no service protocol in place, and ken, well not sure about ken. But Virpus is certainly not in Wow's core competency. We bought from Wow.
Is Ken still working at Virpus?
Ken is not working with/at Virpus. He has ZERO affiliation.
Who are you? Virpus went really crap really fast over the takeover...(faster then EIG at ruining a brand)
Sorry for derailing and the interrogation! I hope you don't mind
how about refund policy?
@Virpus is Ken IMO, one of the most crappy people in the hosting industry.
This. They say Ken is no longer there, but Ken himself is a serial liar and manipulator...
That's correct... Ken is no longer associated with Virpus in ANY capacity. He was very helpful during the transition process... I can't say anymore than that.
3 day money back guarantee.
@Traffic
Accept their offer of a free month of service and see how things go.
As much as I understand you've had a bad experience, I would not want a company that has changed hands to lose business purely because of your experience with previous management.
If you continue to receive bad service, feel free to continue your warnings to potential customers. I won't step in the way.
Thanks.
Appreciate your interest but this is not a mod issue. Feel free to promote them if you think they are being treated unfairly though.
I did not come here out of interest, I was called to the thread. I do not have any intention of promoting them either.
I am merely asking you to stop defaming a company that has changed ownership and wants to move on. As far I can see there is no affiliation with the previous owners.
They provided you with the option to claim a free month but you are more interested in holding a grudge.
I have not defamated anyone. Please make sure you've understood the definition of that term:
(Emphasis added by me)
All the statements I made are true.
You keep thinking that receiving reports on a post means there is something wrong with it
I understand the term perfectly, thanks.
Maybe before, not necessarily now.
Not always.
@Virpus
It may b true that you are no longer affiliated with the old virpus people, but the tone and way of replies suggest otherwise .
You have bought a company with a poor image, this is not the way to defend.
On LET , performance speaks louder than words.
Appreciate the feedback. Tone wasn't meant to come off aggressive or negative... we'll let results speak.
Coupon not working for the Windows plan?
This has been fixed.
I host over 100 sites between several servers, and it was time to add another one - I am trying out this deal to see the performance and measure against Ramnode (my current host of choice, also in Seattle). Happy to give an objective review when I'm done setting up whm/cpanel!
OK, I've been using it for the past day consistently ... here's what I think! http://brendancarr.ca/adventures-in-vps-land/
