Not bad for a Malaysia VPS. Wonder which datacenter they use though.

It seems like a new operation that started up recently.

Facebook page created November 19th, 2014.  

Earliest Tweet was November 24th, 2014.  

Google Search shows latest activity on WHT from 2003 (exact same thread as this for the first one, notice the signature of the guy who responded to the first thread is the same guy who responded in the second thread, and the IP of the RackMine website and the website IP of the guy who responded are from the same company, just pointing out something interesting).

Not bad for Malaysian VPS.  The website itself needs editing and fixing though.  

Company registered in Hong Kong as Rackmine Limited as of August 18th, 2014.  Everything checks out :)

Either someone bought the old domain and decided to see if they could use the prior company's goodwill (see the FAQ page) or the company reorganized itself in Hong Kong - the prior iteration of RackMine.com had a Malaysian phone number while this one has a HK phone number.

Worthless these days considering DIDs are (often literally) a dime a dozen but something to add.

Refund


RackMine is not practiced any refund policy.
And ToS only for Web and Email Hosting, where's ToS for VPS

I'm probably a bit biased - but unless you see a verified business paypal I'd never send them money.  I understand other countries work different - but, I wouldn't trust anything but a free trial to any provider without verified business entity, working verified paypal (or merchant account of some sort), plus a phone number and email/support ticket system that replies.  So many to choose from that the minimum standard I selected seems so basic.

I've never used a site like that or even remotely like that.  huh.  

Anyways if you're looking for specific geographic VPS locations then check ExoticVPS.com, some really useful resources there.

Going by the recent sign up and the spam posted henceforth, I'm locking this as it's clearly just a shill-type post.

Feel free to get in touch if you feel this is an error.
