Server305 is a newly registered company that was formed in December of 2012 but according to their about page they have 25 years of experience. We are told that in most cases; “you will have the server within 24 hours after placing the order”. As the server is VT enabled, it supports VMWARE, ESX, OpenVZ, KVM, XEN etc. Apart from a few posts on webhosting forums, I couldn’t find much information regarding Server305 – so if you’re a customer, don’t forget to leave some feedback.
Server305 guarantee a 99.9% network uptime on all of their services. CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu and Windows are available, however windows will cost $20 month. They accept payment via VISA, Master Card, AMEX and Paypal. Adult content, proxies, TOR and anything else which is legal in the United States is allowed. For more information, you may want to view their Acceptable Usage Policy and Terms of Service.

The model isn’t just “5150”?
http://ark.intel.com/products/27218/Intel-Xeon-Processor-5150-4M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB
There are a few other options on our site currently and we are adding more this week.
Yes, I asked because the post says E5150
Pasmark results for one CPU
Intel Xeon 5150 @ 2.66GHz 1,733
do we know what is the rest of the hardware? will it take expansion cards (may be a GPU)?
Dell Blades so no expansion slots. Most drives are Seagate 10k RPM SAS.
IPv6 available ?
Yes, we can do IPv6 after server is delivered.
What if I need more IPs?
As long as it falls within ARIN guidelines $2 per additional IP.
The LEB description states that the offer is for 4GB RAM, but the page linked to specifies 8GB. Which is the correct value?
Let’ go with 8GB :)
Shall I change to 8 then?
Yes, let’s do it, please change it Liam. Thanks.
thats a good point, I noticed that too.
I also noticed the speeds on the test file from my location (Toronto) was extremely slow despite the good ping. Transfer times to my other VPS though was pretty decent
1) Why your order page is not on https?
2) Do you have ipv6 available?
1. Should be fixed today.
2. Yes
Thanks for the update.
Cool plan! Well, is system reinstall free or not?
Free OS reinstalls. Free reboots.
I ordered a server and got an email asking if I would like a server in California as it was closer to Australia where I live. Haven’t got my server yet but will update when I get it.
Received my server today have had no issues except for having to configure the box myself to use all 5 ip’s as it was set to get its ip via dhcp by default. didn’t take long to fix though so no dramas there. overall extremely happy with the service and the level of communication I have received so far :)
Thanks, appreciate it.
RAM mentioned in the LEB is 4GB but the link provided is showing 8GB RAM.
Also what is the Data Transfer Rate allowed. No mention of the same.
The description mentioned in the LEB says that “As the server is VT enabled, it supports VMWARE, ESX, OpenVZ, KVM, XEN etc.” How to use this feature – say I want the server to be loaded with Xen Hypervisor with CentOS. No mention about this. With 25 years of experience, the postings need to be better, I feel.
All the best!
poasible to swip ip info to our company?
Yes, of course we can SWIP your range.
i presume you can swip a /29 right?
Yes, we SWIP all /29’s
Do you have a looking glass running?
20 hours ago I opened a ticket to ask several questions
nobody answers ….
not think they are serious ….
I do not see a ticket from you. email me directly to sale at server305.com and I will reply right away.
sales@
I am tempted, but I am not sure about this deal yet; If the deal is for an 8GB mem(not 4GB) server, than can someone please update the thread to correct it? Otherwise, I’d would also like to know if IPv6 is available or slated to be available sometime in the near future?
I would also prefer to Checkout via HTTPS, as that is standard these days(hint hint) :)
We are delivering 8GB servers. Yes to IPv6. HTTPS will be fixed today.
Which size of IPv6 block do you assign ? /64 ?
Do you have a test IPv6 address to trace ?
I will update you on this tomorrow morning.
Any update ?
Upstream should be advertising them today. Waiting on word and will update you asap. Sorry for delay.
Ordered yesterday, no e-mail from them or anything they received payment. PayPal sent they sent the invoice. Still shows pending in the client area. Are these guys legit?
Send sales@ an email with your order id please and I will look into it.
We have already delivered almost all orders that came in yesterday.
I apologize, your e-mails are going into gmail’s spam folder.
Ok, good. Will look into that issue asap. Thanks
Went ahead and picked one up for testing — although I just signed up, the welcome e-mails made it to Gmail spam…prolly an RDNS or SPF type issue, but I haven’t researched it.
I will update this thread when I get the keys to the system.
Was provisioned a server in Santa Clara CA, rather than Miami(currently being moved to Miami). Support had the server ready in less than 12 hours originally, and has been responsive to any questions I have had. I will admit that the network is quite nice – seems like Bay Area networks always feels a little bit bogged down, but not with this connection – connectivity to most places is fast and feels snappy. Serverbear benchmark on an installed KVM VM was pretty impressive, considering the older proc. Was able to access the Dell OpenManage software and peek around at the config on the server.
Overall, the machine is quite snappy and the network is responsive in CA – would love to have a bit more bandwidth though(8-10TB).
Thank you for the good feedback.

I expected the Bzip time to be worse considering it’s an older Xeon CPU but it’s better than most of the run of the mill VPS. I/O speed leaves a little bit to be desired but I’m not complaining too much for the price.
Not a very good deal considering the other deals from versawed and commercial media with double this ram and TWO better cpus.
versaweb*
Depending on how you see this deal is not too bad.
1) Versaweb deal came with single HDD. Additional HDD was $15 per month, IIRC.
2) CommercialMedia deal is nice. But so far they have only offered; they have not delivered it yet.
Well verasweb want’s a $49 setup fee now and we don’t need to consider CM now do we? at last I heard people were getting invoiced their second month and their server is still pending!!
This is not too bad a deal considering they are on Dell blade servers, would make a sweeter deal if it came with DRAC! but yeah nothing too spectacular that we have not seen from Datashack or WII..
I got my server from them couple weeks ago commercial media is legit they take some time to get the servers up and running because I dont think they actually carry any stock. Also all these people have to do is call CM and they push the billing date forward to whenever you actually get the server.
You have to remember that these servers are in Nap of the Americas running pure Internap traffic. We offered several customers Internaps Santa Clara if we thought it would be a better option for them.
Problem with payment across paypal, check Order Number: 2759256373 please.

Still waiting for a solution…Order Number: 2759256373.
Donato, Open a support ticket in the client portal. I did that and quickly got replies. I had the same issue and ticket was replied pretty fast.
Here is the vpsbench on the one I got. I picked up at their CA location

@server305 Any update on IPv6 now? Test IPv6 address? Block size assignment?
Still waiting on upstream for IPv6, sorry for delay. We had initially not planned on IPv6 but decided to run with it due to demand. Allocation will be a /64.
We have servers in Santa Clara if that works, and should have more in Miami later today.
@server305 What is the datacenter in Santa Clara ? Any test IP ? And do you expect to get IPv6 there as well ?
Internaps Northern Colocation and running pure Internap transit as well.
Test IP 199.16.206.30
No IPv6 at this location currently.
can’t reply any deeper, but is it possible to get a test download not just test ip for santa clara?

Cpu seems to be slow.The issue is network also seems to be slow for a 1gbit server.My 100mbit servers do better than this.

Just curious : what is the relationship between Server305 and baremetalcloud ?
We colo in their cages and the network is theirs.
Out of stock – will be more available in Miami or this offer is ended ?
There are several more in Miami and stock is available in Santa Clara.
I ordered the special, I was put in CA. Not Miami. I had a DDoS attack on 1 of my IP’s and I opened a ticket to let them know about it, and to try and get logs so I could investigate. I then called the number provided. They answer the phone as ” Software Support “. I spoke with Frank and he said that because they offer cheap box’s no DDoS would be tolerated at all. Then they shut my server down, locking me out. He was very rude, I called a 2nd time, he claimed he would send a refund. We shall see
I decided to call Baremetalhosting / Newservers. They answer the phone the same way. So yes they are the same people.
Stay away from them. Here is a copy of the ticket i also submitted.

Hey David, I just spoke to management about the situation. Unfortunately their reply is below, I wish I had better news.
Your server was the target of a DOS attack which occurred at the time listed below and lasted for the duration listed beside it.
Unfortunately due to the low price we offer servers we have zero tolerance for network issues that impact the quality of our network.
Your server has been disconnected. We apologize for the inconvenience and regret not being able to do business with you.
Time 2am EST
Duration – 2 hours

Hello, I was subject to a DDoS and Port Scans from who i believe is the same user.
If you can provide me some logs from this attack it would be great.
The ip nullrouted was 199.16.201.60
Thanks
David
We just received more stock in Santa Clara.
Will be more in Miami next week or now only in Santa Clara ?
We may have more in Miami next week, yes.
You confirm have available in MIAMI now ? Because in Product/Service description show “WE ONLY HAVE STOCK IN SANTA CLARA CURRENTLY” and below Location have Miamis as option.
Hello still don’t have available in Miami ?
We will have stock in Miami this afternoon if you want to signup.
Hello , I am interested On 1 dedicated Server , with IP 199.16.202.xxx , this have low latency for me (from Colombia) please email me when available. cheers. Mauricio
We have servers in Miami now Mauricio.
I signed up yesterday … got a box in Santa Clara, which is fine for my needs.
I got a call this morning to verify my order … which might annoy some people, but I actually appreciate.
Thank you!
I’ll post back with speeds from Santa Clara.
Speeds seem o.k. from SC
Rebuilds take 24 hours … which bothers me.
Support seems responsive … but again, 24 hours for a rebuild is kinda stupid.
Once the bugs were ironed out, the rebuild was quick.
My stupidity that required it in the first place … thanks guys.
Any ETA on IPv6 in Miami? Was supposed to be available one and a half month ago…
Do you offer add on IP Addresses?
Hola saludos desde Venezuela hoy Rente un Dedicado y estoy esperando respuestas , segun lo q
Hello greetings from Venezuela today rent a dedicated and I’m waiting for answers, according to what reported in your web will give excellent ping in Venezuela… Best regards
Can i buy this with Ubuntu OS , and then install virtualbox and install my windows server or windows XP inside this ubuntu ? Do you guys allow or offer the service of the installation of virtualbox ?
Yes, we can definitely install Ubuntu for you and from there you are free to install virtualbox.
Looked at this offer yesterday. Was going to place an order in the morning. Checked again this morning. OOS. Damn.
We have more servers in stock now if you would like to order.
Hello,
Can i get server with 500GB sata?
I am sure we could manage that.
Can you send sign up link with 500GB hdd.
Just open a ticket once your server has been ordered and we will take care of it for you.
Will you charge some extra amount for this …
1. Do you allow custom OS installs?
2. Will you cancel server if the server is DDOS attacked? Saw this in a prior post.
1. Yes, custom installs are fine
2. Yes, if the server causes service interruption for other customers we will null route the IP and shut down.
Need windows 2008r2 standard server with 500 gb hdd. Iwill activate the server.
If yes, I want in hurry. Volume drive customer.
Hi,
Can I have a HD to backup?
How much will this cost?
1. You can break the RAID and use the second drive for backups.
2. We have SAN targets you can add during checkout
3. We have SWIFT containers which run $50 per 1TB. Just open a ticket for this.
I have full SSL access? Can I run anything on it, lets say web services and gaming servers?
