Had a few servers over the years with them. Only real issue i have encountered is my production server being terminated due to a DDoS attack. But Their staff quickly resolved that issue.
Interesting. How did they resolve this? I see their London DC have 25 Gbps protection from Arbor.
I have a small VPS there. Fast network/disk speeds and no issues. Very professional staff and quick support.
Support seems quick indeed. Sent them a ticket a few months ago and they responded within 10 minutes. Do you know if it's a one man operation or do they have people covering support 24/7?
They aren't a one man show. I have a box there, and no issues for nearly two years. I couldn't be happier. Also very helpful and professional support.
They're great, I'm using their 768mb plan for my game server and it works very well! I can recommend them.
Alexander is very helpful and I know him before launch of hostus and we had 3 VPS and reseller hosting but due to downtimes didn't renewed after 1 year and yeah as others saying staff is very active to respond you.
Well, not the best start...

That has the smell of issues on the route. Wouldn't be quick to blame provider with such high ping ratings
I was hoping that was the issue but pinged from multiple locations and their CP is throwing some errors.
@wicked be cool read the rules - 4 lines in sig that are bold kinda isn't quite in the spirit of 2 lines and unobtrusive (see the low end community post). Regarding your issue -may want to submit a ticket- usually a faster way to resolution.
Agree, my sig was a bit annoying. Sent a ticket and they are working on it
If that's the case then I would agree to blame the provider at that point. Very weird to have pings at that level though. Wonder if their edge routers or what is having trouble processing requests
I dunno man- a Portmaster 2E with 16MB should be able to BGP just fine..
(I almost bought a HostUS package today that looked awesome- then I saw it was a VPS, not a KVM. Not so awesome. Not so awesome at all.)
I've had a small LET special with them in the UK (they switched London DC in March). Mostly used for personal stuff, proxy server, lightweight remote desktop, and it's been very reliable and quick. I get the odd network dropout now and again but so shortlived I haven't needed to investigate. Conicidentally my VPS locked up just last week for the first time ever, the problem was resolved and ticket answered within minutes. Factoring the cost into ones expectations, I would certainly recommend them.
I have 3 VPS with them:
1 Mailserver
1 Ads server
1 Gre tunnel to protect another server with DoS service
All working great.
Hi,
If that's in London could you PM me your IP, the IP you were pinging to and a full, non-anonymised traceroute from the destination back to the VPS, please ? If that's London - we provide network at this location.
Been playing around with an US and UK VPS for a few months now. Very good performance with no downtime yet.
Using 1 as a VPN and just tinkering with the other.
@Wicked
I have 2 VPS with HostUs and both are great. You may find the following VPS benchmark in London Data Center. This is my iRedMail.org Mail Server
HostUs Looking Glass: http://lon-lg.hostus.us
Have you looked at their KVM offerings? I have a 1GB HostUS KVM in their Ashburn location running FreeBSD (they will happily mount custom isos for you) and it works great.
What? This sentence makes absolutely no sense.
They solved this issue 13 hours ago, but sent you the IP anyways.
I didn't see it when looking through the offerings late/early last night.
It makes a lot more sense when you replace VPS with OVZ.
I'm hosting for 4 years with them now. Atlanta has been the most stable location. Staff is awesome and general network and disk performance is very stable. Nothing extraordinary but really reliable, production use ready I'd say. Only thing bad about them is they're getting more expensive compared to the $5 (768MB) offer years ago..
I've never had anything in their London datacenter, but the service in Atlanta has been really excellent for the money (I think they were on the LET top provider list recently, and for good reason). The only hiccup was when they come under a huge sustained DDoS in August, which took things offline for a number of days. I wish they had released a post-mortem on that attack since the outage was pretty long and drawn out, but other than that, it's pretty decent for the price band they compete in.
London network is a bit iffy here and there (small blips of downtime). Speed is decent, although could be better, but overall im happy with them.
Sorry for the late reply. i had to open a ticket explaining why my i cant SSH into my server. My server displayed as Online, yet was terminated. Support had to reactivate it.
Haven't tried london but first ordered in few months i got my vps down many times every day due to their nodes got DDOSed, but the last few months their uptime are pretty impressive, i think they increased their price for good reasons.
first 24hrs with hostus got 2x dallas + 1 washington dc 2GB openvz holiday specials at $25/yr each for testing and benchmarks at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/hostus-us-holiday-deals-2gb-openvz-vps-25-yr.9874/
variety of cpus on offer from E5-1650v2, E5-1650v3 and E5-2620v1. But for the price these are perfect for Centmin Mod LEMP stack beginners looking to test out Centmin Mod LEMP stacks
Hostus was kind enough to update their openvz centos 6 and 7 templates to latest available versions so from centos 6.6 to 6.8 and centos 7.0 to 7.2 as latest. CentOS 7.3 guess too new for openvz template right now ?
I ended up getting 5 of HostUS's 2GB openvz holiday specials at $25/yr each
London one with E3-1270v5 cpu ended up being the fastest one out of them all https://community.centminmod.com/posts/42541/. Cpus ranged from E3-1270v5, E5-1650v2, E5-1650v3, and E5-2660v2
Only issue is order form selected CentOS 7 for all 5, but all 5 defaulted to CentOS 6 OS at time of delivery. So had to rebuild for CentOS 7
