I've had a mixed experience with NH so far.

The kernel modules required for TUN are missing from their Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and 32bit install. (I can't remember if they are missing from the 32bit install; reinstalling now to see)

rob@uk:~# modprobe tun
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:507 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab113.11/modules.builtin.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module tun not found.

I asked if they were adding Ubuntu 16.04 and was told that the request would be passed to the admin and the new image added Monday ... that was the 6th of August. The ticket auto closed a few days later without a follow-up from them. I opened a new ticket on the 17th of August asking what the status of adding Ubuntu 16.04 was, and its still open and unanswered.

So I've left it alone for the moment basically unused, I'm not interested in installing CentOS and such. (I'd prefer Arch generally, Ubuntu second)

Here are the results of using ServerBench

Hmm, also using their web interface you can't set the root password to use symbols like ! & *, and where earlier I could use the web interface to set the RDNS I now seemingly can't.

Reverse DNS is disabled for this ipaddress. Please contact support

That's not their fault, SolusVM themselves doesn't support special symbols in root passwords for OVZ VPSes.
