    The name ‘LowLatency’ is very misleading.

        You can always ping 8.8.8.8 from within their network, I usually get about 0.4-0.8 ms on good hosting places.

    Just bought a VPS. Everything seems fine except their SolusVM is NOT secured by SSL. Ie. Username and password is being transmitted as clear text. Seriously? Sounds like amateur hour.
