Usage

  • Few Wordpress sites
  • Learning PHP code
  • ClamAV and email report


Uptime: no downtime except manual reinstallation and reboot. I don't know why there is 1 minute downtime in the report

Support: 1 ticket.

  • When I purchased, I didn't choose any OS, so the VPS wasn't auto provisioned. I opened a ticket and asked for help. They replied in 1 minute, and problem solved.

Overall experience:

  • Fast VPS with fast network connection.
  • Support is fast and friendly.
  • I love this VPS

Good provider imo, hope to see they become top-player in short future.
