KnownHost Managed East Coast VPS -2

I've been with KnownHost for over a year and currently use them for offsite purposes. During my time with them, I have had a few support tickets at which were answered promptly and resolved to my satisfaction.

The good:

+ Price was awesome for a fully managed VPS with cPanel and Litespeed.
+ Support is fantastic as expected.
+ VPS is pretty solid / no major issues.
+ Free "Holiday" upgrade.

The bad:

- Not much notification for migrating from New Jersey to Maryland (5 days)
- Minor network blips (assuming it's from the transition)

Overall, I am satisfied with how things are going.

Package used: VPS -2

Disk Space: 60 GB RAID-10

Bandwidth: 4000 GB

Guaranteed RAM: 1536 MB

East Coast DC (Baltimore, MD - formerly Piscataway NJ)

Starting Price / month: $35.00 (less if they have a promotion which I've used) cPanel is + $5.00 /mo and Litespeed is + $12.00 / mo

@Coastercraze,

Thanks for the positive review!  We did have a few unfortunate network blips during the migration - all of which were actually unrelated to MD itself and were the result of DDoSes hitting NJ which effected the network tunnel.

You'll see far fewer DDoSes moving forward than you did in NJ - we have greatly expanded our capacity as part of the move to MD to better handle attacks and networking in general.

Let us know if you ever need anything.

That makes sense. Everything seems good right now.
