Here's my first review.

Fast & Great

OS Templates: 3 stars

  • Ubuntu 12.04 14.04 16.04

Features: 5 stars

  • Instant rDNS update
  • Instant DDoS-Protected IP configuration

Control Panel: 3 stars

Beautiful but buggy

Fast. Low latency.

Performance: 4 stars

Same level as DO/Linode/Vultr, etc.

Uptime: 3 stars

About 3-5 times downtime less than 3 hours during the year.

Price: 5 stars

Cheap.

Support: 3 stars

  • Response Time: 1-2 days
  • Issue resolving: usually less than 5 days
  • They didn't reply the ticket after the issue is solved!!!

Tickets & Issues during the year

  • Panel Bug: Can't add custom ISO (solved)
  • Panel Bug: Can't login (solved)
  • Panel Bug: Can't use VNC (solved)
  • Panel Bug: IPv6 added but can't use them in VPS with correct configurarion
  • IPv6 restored after submit ticket but I was afraid to break it so I didn't touch them after that

Summary

Decent for just personal use with low budget.

    Thanks, appreciate your honest feedback.

    I think it'd be fair to clarify that our support was affected because of the last year's BF and NY promotions - and all customers on highly promotional plans (such as your plan that comes with double the RAM, and a DDoS protected IP address worth $36 per year - included for free in a $15 per year plan) have a different level of support than our normal plans, and this will be clarified with a big disclaimer in any future promotions so expectations are properly aligned.

    On a side note - we just launched Norway and Austria!

  • Great opportunity to chime in - I have a KVM Storage VPS in Amsterdam, NL, with Hosthatch for 11 months now and never had a single problem with it. It was up all the time and does its job as it should. No idea about support though, as I never needed it. Keep up the good work, @Abdullah & team!

    Yes, I also have this one from last year BF.

    Was surpised - I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on this box and still have 2GB free. Pretty much sure it was from template, maybe you've asked for a desktop version?

    Nevertheless, HostHatch never was a trouble for me, thanks @Abdullah! Hopefully this BF will have something for new locations as well.

  • I've got a BF node from Hosthatch too - will definitely be keeping it. My other BF purchases Alpharacks and Namehero reseller hosting got cancelled last week.

    Time to update my sig!

  • I have a much migrated and tweaked up yearly ovz in Hosthatch HongKong.

    Uptime isn't great on this particular one, but I blame that on lousy neighbours in that region.
    I have renewed for a 4th year though yesteday. Let's see if I finally put this softlayer vps to use.

    I just can't bring myself to give up on the feelsgood.gif of having a cheapo presence in Softlayer network.
