| Najnovšia pozitívna recenzia | I've used Hostwinds for nearly 2 years and they have been excellent during my stay. However, I am looking at leaving because they have IP issues, mainly, some of the major (Gmail, Outlook, MSN, etc) ISP's block email traffic, ... Viac claiming it's SPAM. Apparently, they have some SPAMMERS on their servers and some IP blocks are blacklisted. I have been forced to get a Gmail account so I can send outbound emails, which is a major pain. I've raised this issue with tech support too many times to count but the problem persists. I'd love to stay with them but I have to move on. Menej | I have been using VPS Malaysia service for 6 months. Until today, I am very satisfied. Their servers are stable and speed is fast compared to my previous hosting provider. More, their price is reasonable enough with no setup ... Viac fee and handling fee. Definitely will recommend to my friends who need VPS services, support local, support VPS Malaysia! Menej |
| Najnovšia negatívna recenzia | I've moved from Shared hosting to Managed Linux VPS The support team is sucks, i felt that I'm an auditor or QA on their jobs They don't validate the requests. For example, I've asked to only allow access to specific ports to ... Viac only 1 country,
so all they did is added the country 2 letters in the CSF config page and added allowed ports to this country
and they didn't remove the ports from TCP_IN section , it means there's no restrictions here, all they did is like confirming allowing my country !!
so this ticket toke 6 hours, and ended up sending them the instructions how to do it , so !!
another issue, VPS assigned with IP address, this IP address was blacklisted on 3 major RBLs and outlook is blocking this IP too, and when i asked them to change it since we need a clean IP because we gonna sent emails from it, they said, it's extra cost option to change it ! and no gurantuee that new IP will be clean, why should i get a VPS with blacklisted IP ?
another topic
i tried to delist our ip from all blacklisted RBLs and outlook too,
but we faced a new issue, that our emails is not delivered in stays in queue for days
because our server lost connection with the remote mail server we are sending emails to.
Support answer: the remote server blocks your IP, talk to them to unblock

another topic, suddennly with no warrnings your server CPU usage go to 100% with no running prcoess !!!

another major issue happened with Hostwinds
our VPS in server in Amsterdam,
after we migrate our emails/website from shared hosting to this hosting
we bought a volume storage 100GB and attached it to the server, and moved all emails files on it 70GB!
a history of emails a 7 years history. and everything was good for 3 days and at 4/10/2021 the say facebook was down, the amsterdam server had a network issue at 10PM and we lost all the the connections with the VPS
no way to day anything .. so i've opened a ticket and got no answer, go to live chat and got informed that there's network issue in amsterdam server, and we got access at 12AM but our CPU usage was 100% with no process running
and i toke screenshot from control panel that shows CPU usage and storage usage was 68% of 100GB
they sent me at 2 am a reply that the issue was fixed and they sent me a screenshot from the same cpu usage | storage usage
and i found that storage usage was 1% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i replyed to the ticket .. WHERE OUR EMAILS !!!
i supposed to sleep that time 2AM because i've work tomorrow at 8am need to wake up
and i couldn't sleep till they fix the server .
and got no replies, so i went to live chat and i'm fired !!!
from 2 am to 6 am all they said they don't know what happened to the volume storage and filesystem corrupted, maybe you got hacked !!!
WHAT THE HELL, GOT HACKED !! how ?? the server connection was down, and if we got hacked, the hacker will go the cloud volume and corrupt the file system ???? talk in more logic !!!
support answer, they have nothing to do with it , network issue won't affact the filesystem of the volume storage!!
and it's my fault that i didn't subscribe for backup plan!!!
when i asked is the backup plan includes volume storage ,and the golden answer: NO!
so we lost 7 years of emails history and they do nothing !!!
final conclution
Stay away from Hostwinds,
Support are sucks
Server Prices are very good, but no stability, no uptime 99.999999 like they said
alot of down times
delay in support reply on ticket
you need to validate every request with your self
Totally sucks Menej | Overall VPS Malaysia probably one of the most unreliable server provider in Malaysia, in term of pricing it is very attractive and pricing is probably the only reason why to choose VPS Malaysia, If you're looking for a qualit ... Viac y & reliable server AVOID VPS Malaysia at all cost! Their 99.9% Guarantee Uptime is a JOKE! Over the past 7 days my server downtime is 1 day and 7 minutes (uptime is 86.0114%) with 72 incident and avg incident downtime is about 20minutes!
Talking about their support, 8/10 couldn't fix your issue and the only thing they did is help opening a ticket except 1 operator called N******* (he's the only one can fix your issue) and sometime those really urgent ticket they will only reply you 4-5 hours later.
Wherease your direct competitor did honour their 99% uptime at least their worst record is at 99.78% (The worst ever recorded). Talking about the price probably 20-25% higher on similar specs but reliable is the KEY! For support they will assign someone who really know what they're doing to fix the issue on the spot only when something they can't fix then they will open a support ticket for further investigation but still those ticket usually got reply within minutes! Even Exabytes their technical support is way better than your's.
So last thing here come the question how on earth you're rated 9.8/10 with such quality and reliability? I don't think Hostadvice is giving sincere advice for consumer like us. Menej |
