Comments
Uptime is ok for me, their support is crap!
@les
r u experience any downtime?
1-2 on my dallas box since march.
In case you decided to get 192 plan, they sent a limited time offer which is still running:
Guaranteed RAM: 256MB
Burstable RAM: 512MB
Disk Space: 10GB
Bandwidth: 500GB/Month
2 CPU Cores
1 IP Address
SolusVM Control Panel
They have a good chunk of negative reviews, with some good reviews as well, but I haven't had service with them myself to tell.
Says it all
Uptime is great, service is not superb but it good for the price ($15/y 192MB).
Don't know about their support, never needed it so far.
can i go with them..
@verdan
can i go with them...
seriously if you think u can handle most of the setup alone without getting much of the support to ask darn question, for that price, its good to go with them. Provided you dont expect sky high service with peanut USD15/yr
That is the idea in unmanaged.
I just need 3 types of tickets, and ANY other issue is OUT of unmanaged:
And they doesn't respond or do it in a long time and in a bad way.
I have several boxes. Overall they work "fine". Expect low I/O performance, decent uptime, but when there are problems, expect results several hours later.
Suppossedly with their last comment HERE, they changed some new personal and all of us will be happy lol, but not sure yet n_n.
My VPS is down/have problems/is slow.
My VPS was down, I want to claim SLA.
You can expect Moore (123S owner, sole staff member) to ignore those tickets with the same frequency that he ignored the messages I sent to him saying "Pay your bills before I evict you".
OMG, he was your client? :S
Yup, 123S started out as a BuyVM reseller, primarily as a 'personal favour' as Moore was the one that originally gave us the buyvm.net domain. Then, a month or two after we were successful, started demanding to be compensated for 'his missed business opportunity'.
Needless to say, that didn't go over well at all.
@aldryic
oh...
This says all anyone needs to know about the man behind the provider. As if the dozens of other bad reviews weren't enough. 123 is on my avoid list regardless of how cheap they go. You can do better, vote with your wallet.
This point was a pain for me. A day or two after getting the VPS it went down for a few hours twice. I sent a ticket to their tech that the box was having problems, of which he confirmed.
Later the next day when I claimed for SLA. I needed to provide ping based monitoring reports even though they knew the box was down. But I kicked up a fuss and got a free month
Personally I wouldn't go with them again. (I don't buy yearly packages though).
'Nuff said about 123 IMO.
For a quality lowend OpenVZ, look to the reliable providers like Hostigation and SecureDragon.
I've got one in Dallas with 99.42% network uptime, but I've got a bunch of VPS. If I had to only get a single VPS, it definitely wouldn't be from them.
Plenty of other providers with comparable plans.
I've had a 192MB plan with them for half a year now. Goes down maybe 2-4 times a month for a half hour or hour each. Uptime robot says 99.5% uptime....which is lower than the atom box I have sitting at home. On the other hand, It's running a small rails app I'm tinkering with and will handle a free loadimpact test without the loadtimes increasing. I wouldn't use it for anything too serious, but for $15 it's a good deal and pretty useable. Never tried support...on this or any other VPS.
@all thanks for reply
I know of a guy that advertises them... but fail horribly at webhosting...
I am thinking on register that "all" user n_n
