  • 24x7x365 Human Technical Support

We have our staff of in-house support technicians, as well as some contracted providers for the off hours to ensure that your tickets are handled within reasonable time frames. Please note that this offer does not include management, so tickets should be only of an Emergency, Provisioning/Panel Related, Basic Support, Billing or Sales nature.

  • 100.00% Network and Hardware SLA

As our upstream provider guarantees 100.00% Network and Hardware uptime, so do we. We have appropriate remedy options available to our customers if they find their service was available any less than 100.00% of the time during a calendar month and are prepared to fulfill our part of the guarantee.

  • Straight-forward pro-rata billing

All services recur on the 7th, meaning you pay LESS when you order now for the first month.

  • Upgrade or downgrade at any time!

You can upgrade or downgrade your service at any time, with any portion of the resource (CPU, RAM, HDD, IPs, etcetera.) Your upgrade will be processed by our dedicated support staff at any time once the invoice has been paid, and you will only pay for the pro-rated difference.

  • Cancel or order at any time!

You can cancel your order at any point, even during a period; and are eligible to receive a refund or a portion of the period. Please make sure to open a Support Ticket after lodging the cancellation or downgrade ticket to get your pro-rata refund.

As part of our commitment to transparency, here's who we really are:

GoodHosting.co is owned by Albino Geek Services Ltd.
Owned and Operating out of Beautiful British Columbia
Incorporated April 27, 2012 01:39 PM Pacific Time
BUSINESS NUMBER: 815062880BC0001
INCORPORATION NUMBER: BC0939191

We challenge other providers to show this level of legitimacy as a bare minimum.


[1] At this time, we do not provide licensing for Microsoft Windows Server products. You are free to use the Evaluation license provided with the initial installation, which is valid for 180 days and subject to terms Microsoft places on the legitimate use thereof. Students and developers may be able to obtain free or inexpensive licenses from their network.

[2] Storage is backed by a Hardware RAID10 using LSI MegaRAID 9271 cards, with CacheVault. We use ultra-fast RAM-Caching techniques to ensure that your regular I/O operations are blazing fast [much faster than SSDs !!] We have recently changed our policy on disk usage. The "40GB" as stated in the package is now additional space to the size of the OS drive, whereas before it was the total space [including OS.]

Please note that deployments are handled manually, your VPS could take up to one hour to be initially provisioned, from which point; you can use the provided SunStone management panel to re-create your VPS at any time, even change your OS or resources completely. This manual deployment system is in place to protect both our company / existing customers, as well as you (the future customer) from abuse and fraud.

    We never left; just had far too large an influx from our first offer, had to let things settle down a little bit while we managed our back-log from manual deployments. We're all good now and ready to accept new clients!

    @Virtovo said:
    That's really slick.

    Thanks. I love it, although it was a b**** to set up working the way I wanted it, especially with RAM caching across all the virtual machines, SSD level-2 caching and RAID10 storage on the backend. It's amazing how difficult that is to get working in CentOS due to how archaically old the packages are...

  • VirtovoVirtovo Member

    GoodHosting said: manual deployments

    Is this all manually deployed?

  • @Virtovo said:

    There are "Templates" and "Images" [ images which can be either ISO/CDROM in type, or images of pre-installed disks with an Operating System already on them. ] So not all systems are manual installation, and we've set up networking to allow automatic IP assignment [DHCP] as well as BOOTP and a few other things for kickstart/seeded install.

    The users however are not created automatically in SunStone, we do that step manually.

    Sounds great. I'll stop cluttering up your thread with questions now. Sorry!

  • And so nobody feels the need to "test" coughabusecough the I/O just for a benchmark...

    RAM-caching is king. Optimized for real workloads, not silly benchmarks.

  • Looks really cool sir,
    But I have a software which takes too much cpu, Will you alllow that ?

  • That panel looks very interesting and some tempting offers.

    If you have the Ci5 plan for example, with 100 CPU units; you can use 100% of your one core 24/7. This is allowed.

    I'm looking to move my master server somewhere else due to disk and network IO issues. The offer looks nice, but I have a couple of questions:

    GoodHosting said: If you have the Ci5 plan for example, with 100 CPU units; you can use 100% of your one core 24/7. This is allowed.

    In your AUP, it talks about "Excess resource usage" that includes CPU and RAM usage. Can we use all of the CPU allocated? And can you define a "CPU Unit"?

    said: Upgrade or downgrade at any time!

    Will the coupon transfer over the lifetime of the service?

    And I cannot find your explicit SLA. The link on the site brings me to http://goodhosting.co/terms.htm.

    Exactly, Please define a CPU unit.

    Hello @Silvenga,

    I do apologize about the sheer vagueness of our Terms of Service as it is now, to be honest; those are the terms that were vetted by our Lawyers when we registered the company [ Albino Geek Services Ltd. ] , and we have used those terms ever since. However, we have never once had to rely on them in a matter such as SLA or AUP, [ albeit, please head the refund policy. It is in plain English and is also visible when working with our PayPal account, [ such as when in the claims section, or viewing our company details, an excerpt of our terms is shown on those pages. ] ]

    When we release our Frequently Asked Questions / Knowledgebase , it will contain such documents including a "Acceptable Use in Plain English" and "Service Level Agreement in Plain English". However, as this is not ready yet, let me state the following, which I will now upload to a document on our site for official reference as well, should you need to reference it in the future:

    http://www.goodhosting.co/permanent-link/terms-in-plain-english

    All terms will be listed on this page, in Plain English; rather soon.

    @theweblover007 said:
    Exactly, Please define a CPU unit.

    1 CPU unit = 1/100th of a CPU thread. 100 CPU units == 1 "core" as per SolusVM terminology. If your plan has 100 CPU units, you can use 100% of your one "core" 24/7 if you'd like [you are allowed to], although we'd prefer you don't [haha].

    Therefore, 200 CPU units == 2 cores, etcetera.

    @XxNisseGamerxX said:
    Windows server 2012 r2 possible?

    Yes, we are currently creating a template for this, but have the ISO already up there if you want to install the OS yourself, or open a ticket and we can install it as you describe [ partitioning, packages, etc.]

  • tarasistarasis Member

    Very tempted by this deal, though it seems to good to be true. I spent part of last night looking for info on Goodhosting.co but few seem to talk online about their services / performance of their servers.

    Why not just try one then? Come on LiveChat and I can set you up with a trial.

  • tarasistarasis Member

    Cheers, I'll see if you are about.

  • Now offering the following specific editions of WIndows per request:

    • Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition (+Template) [BYOL]

    Being deemed fraud by Maxmind due to using weloveservers IP as VPN during ordering. Try to reorder without VPN, but still the same error.

    Really frustated as in need of Windows VPS, and the offer is quite good.

    Hello Faizi, please open a Support Ticket with the order going through your legitimate connection and I'll see what is flagging it. We don't accept orders from VPNs and Proxies due to their high fraud rate from our experience.

  • FaiziFaizi Member

    Not needed. The order got through this time.

    "Service ID # 562 was just auto provisioned."
