    Here's reachability for my Alpharacks OVZ VPS in LA. No complaints for the price.

    KVM node is similar, except some downtime very early on when it was still "preview".

    Wasn't impressed with the shared hosting product, but haven't looked at it in a long time, so YMMV.

  • 05:45:02 up 235 days, 8:43, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

    Feels like time for a reboot. Assuming you've installed a bunch of updates, do you think it would reboot with no problems?

    AlphaRacks shared hosting still sucks

  • Shared hosting is horrible. Very high loads and / is usually always nearly 100% full.

    VPS have been fine, sometimes the network takes a small dive but its shared and cheap.

    AlphaRacks' VPS is good and the network is very good. Last week I opened the wrong order and the customer service refund was fast.

    I would have to disagree, total garbage.

    At least you have a good uptime.

    As far as the "for the price" argument, meh. I'm not going to school you on why that's a wrong approach these days, I'll just say you can do better for much less:

    I have a VPS for 23.53% of the cost of this Alpharacks VPS (yearly for both). Compared to Alpharacks this VPS has 5.5x faster disk I/O and has not gone down 5 minutes in the past 145 days since I last rebooted it.

    When comparing highest ever recorded download speed (bench.sh), this "for the price" VPS clocks in at 1.5x higher than Alpharacks (Cachefly CDN, VPSes are on different continents).

    The only advantage Alpharacks VPS has over the other? 8x more RAM. Have I gotten more use out of Alpharacks? Unfortunately, no, not by a long shot.

    I'm paying $19/year for 2 cores, 2 GB, and a 1 Gbps port, so… /me shrugs Not trying to sell anyone on it, but my experience just doesn't match yours.

    Here's a current bench:

    Location Provider Speed

    CDN Cachefly 49.2MB/s

    Atlanta, GA, US Coloat 33.5MB/s

    Wow that's extremely good I/O and speed. I think I get it though, they severely oversold the smaller packages (1G, 1Gbps) and are bouncing them off from one abused metal to the next.

    In conclusion, Alpharacks is inconsistent in both performance and what you get for your money. You may get something good, or you may get trash when you sign up. You never know if you're one of the lucky.

    Here's a freshly baked bench.sh:

    I/O speed(2nd run) : 39.4 MB/s

    Average I/O speed : 28.8 MB/s

    Please review my support ticket #998645 - i've opened it on 6th of september, and after support have flagged (ticket was directed to other team on 7th of september) it for billing team - nobody even react to my messages. I even contact 2checkout to confirm that transaction was successful. All screenshots and mails i've attached to ticket area - but no one review it and try to help. Please, can you react to this some how?

    Situation is next: i bought special offer service for 200$ and pay over 2checkout on 5th of september. Money was charged successful (i have proofs), but service and invoice is still pending (now its 18th of september), and support totally ignoring all my requests to activate service.

  • Take your money back and run, really not worth it.

    Absolutely agree. Will post my abysmal review when I have some time. Currently dealing with another POS host called SupremeVPS. I need to stop paying retards like that, and you need to do the same thing. Trust me, that $20/year discount is absolutely not worth it.

  • My result on AlphaRacks (with $7/y, it's worth)
