I bought a smaller 1GB OpenVZ VPS a bit ago and have connection time-outs and shutdowns and I was told that if I don’t want that then I need to upgrade to KVM and they won’t refund my money because it has been more than three days.
They tried to re-create the VPS on another node and that has the same issues. They offered to re-create it again, but I don’t have much hope that it would be better.
By all means we can recreate your service and offer a resolution?
Please do email josh@alpharacks.com for me to sort this for you.
Thank you for taking care of me, Josh
What about issue that have bring down services for thousand of your clients? You offer new services, but old issues ones is not fixed, and srvices for old customers still not provided? Its already month since my special KVM VPS is offline, and support is silence! You just take peoples money, and than tell different story “why its not possible to provide service”! Its totally scam and bull**it that is written on your site or other places on internet. It’s can’t be forever, yu can’t foolish people so long! I wish that someone go to court on you, and f@ks you well!
Recreating the vps is only a temporary fix, the servers are oversold to the max. I couldn’t get a refund either on servers that didn’t work and I was only 24hours in.
its max^max oversold
I have been offline now for 36 hours.
The Control Panel page (https://vpscp.alpharacks.com:5656) is offline too. Their support page (https://www.alpharacks.com/myrack/) is slow as hell, and my ticket asking what’s going on remains unanswered for 35 hours, too.
Before the current outage, I was going offline and had to manually reboot my VPS again and again.
And the outage is still not resolved over a week later.
What a crappy unreliable service!
Didn’t you see the name? They are still in alpha, not even in beta… :p
I have three VPS’s with Alpharacks, first one bought 4 years ago.
No problems and actually one of the most stable hosting providers I am currently using. Haven’t had to contact their support much, but when I did have a question they were fast to respond.
Overall i’d recommended them to others.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
If you need us please do get in touch!
I went out of my way to comment on this. Alpharackd has been nothing but trouble for me. Customer service is terrible, as is server quality and speed. Their virtualization platform is constantly going down and causing problems, including data loss. Don’t buy.
Hello there,
Not what I like to hear!
Can you please drop an email to josh@alpharacks.com so I can proceed with ensuring you are fully satisfied?
My sites went offline, for 48h now.
AlphaRack’s Control Panel page (where I can manage my sites) doesn’t load either (also for 48h). Their support ticket system works, but no answer (for 47h).
I am disappointed, they always had outages but not that massive.
5 days offline here.
I was a customer of Woothosting and these guys bought them out. So far the support has gotten much faster TBH! I have no complaints.
For anyone else who is having an issue at least try to contact them. At least in my experience their support guys respond pretty fast. I’m sure they’re busy right now since they just bought out a few other hosting companies.
i have 14 VPS with alpharacks today,
first one was from 2013 :-)
Alpharacks have come a great way with many improvements compared to my very first VPS with them. I am very satisfied with my servers! If you have not used them recently I would recommend you at least try it now
This is the worst host, if you value your time and freedom buy elsewhere!!!!
Alphracks is actually a joke hosting provider this is the only provider I have had to do a paypal chargeback for due to VPS constantly going offline. Support does not exist! Beware if you have more than one service with them and get a refund on one service they will cancel them all and delete all your access!!!
I just purchased a hybrid server, and the 3GB RAM VPS to serve as my backup/off-site file storage server :-)
Thanks for the great deals
Following is my experience so you can make an informed decision;
On commissioning the VPS (5core, 6gb ram, 1Gbe).
I selected a USA Location, paid extra for the gigbit connection speed. got an email saying server is commissioned. yay!! raised ticket for the upgrades
tried to start the vps, bootup took 30mins, console login took 5 mins and putty timed out countless times.
IP was in Latvia, took over an hour to run apt install speedtest-cli. installer highlighted download 700K took 3 mins. reopened the ticket, then started the to and fro with standard reply of “its fixed, someone was overusing the network try again later” and me sending screen shots as to why its not fixed.
got sick of it and requested a cancellation and refund.
here’s the catch 22… Service got cancelled but no refund so opened a ticket with billing. again some to and fro with questions from billing. ***here is the Kicker** the process gets dragged over 3 days and then you get a reply to say sorry its over 3 days we don’t provide refunds!!!
bottom line, no Server, no refund and spent way too much time on tickets.
Do you think I got ripped off??
now to raise dispute with paypal
I know you sound pissed off, but just so you know, that’s probably because they just got new IPs allocated from RIPE or ARIN and the current GEOIP data is from the previous owner of the IP. GEOIP does not always mean the server is located in that location. The only real way to tell is thru a traceroute. If they haven’t already ask for them to submit GEOIP corrections to the major databases like MaxMind.
I’ve had the same issue with my VPS at another provider, which promptly solved itself after a few weeks, and also with another VPS of mine a couple months ago at another company. It’s not uncommon at all as GEOIP Databases can take time to update.
Moral of the story, dont’ rely on GEOIP data, run a traceroute and see where your hops are going ;-)
Good luck with your Paypal dispute.
They only know how to take money from peoples. I bought reseller hosting with dedicated IP it’s still getting down everyday 100+ times i receieve uptime robot notification. And then i bought a kvm VPS, omg. Hell ?? VPS is not a vps it look like local a P1 computer with electricity shortage i think so. VPS is too much slow, 1 Ssh commands take 5 seconds to show on screen what you write. And it is down daily 5-10 times.
I’ve got a master reseller with them and I’d have to disagree…
Sure they are not perfect, no one is… but they are definitely more reliable than some of the bigger hosts that charge way more.
And definitely reliable enough to host a website or two, and also host my customer’s sites. And they provide a great price/value too.
BTW – your claims sound a bit exaggerated. P1 computer? C’mon man.
just a headsup before you guys of think that it would be a good deal:
i am a customer since about 1year when it was woothosting or hostmybytes still
i am a customer since about 1year, was with woothosting wich has been bough or something by alpharacks and im facing a lot of issues with your servers recently, just look into my tickets of the last weeks, more than 30 because of downtime or extreme slowness!
i know for that cheap price not much is to be expected but atleast an uptime of 1month should be doable.
i have a cloud pool that went fine for months but suddenly was overloaded so i wasted multiple days moving all.
additionaly i have 3 of this “china connected” vps severs, they are down multiple times a week, i have to restart them manually always or your support person move it to another node.
all in all a very bad experience, cannot recommend, i hope josh helps here to improve it now!
Agreed. Acquisition sucks as my IP suddenly got changed and my server was down for several days.
update 14th may 2019:
josh from alpharacks looked into my issue, i got moved to a faster/more stable server so i updated my review to 3stars, managers trying to help and investigate customer issues which needs to be honored!
HI
please can you let me know if, RDNS (PTR) support on the VPS ???
I want to buy 5 VPS, please get back to me ASAP,!
bought a VPS :)
so far so good!
very bad vps
very bad service
only wast of money and time
a big smocky shit
avoid like the plague. You will seriously get better performance off of a RaspberryPi on Public McDonalds wifi.
Had a HMB server (which was not the best by any means) but its unusable after the buyout. Had to go thru a lot just to even get acess to my server again, now im getting kilobyte/s download speed even thru the best CDN. I wish I could get my money back.

Cheap hosting with bad performance. Every day I meet a huge load average on this server which makes my virtual machine unavailable.
Support cannot do something that can resolve this problem. I’m very tired to reopen tickets.

https://yadi.sk/i/JEUlpUg9F3KV8Q
I have been a direct alpharacks customer for 2 years and haven’t had any issues with either of my VPS’s nor shared hosting.
It seems all the complaints here are from customers of previous companies they bought out (like HMB or woot) i’d say give them a bit to get acquinated and get things settled from the buyout before criticizing them.
Did you see my pictures in previous post and answers from support?
Do you think it is normal load average and normal answer from support?
It is the worst hosting I’ve ever had.
More over I can’t return my money back.
They simple took my money and nothing got me in return.
anyone who answers “give them a chance” has never had a need to talk to their support.
they are the worst.
do not use. they telling me nodewatch did something. how many people know what nodewatch is??? 1gbps uplink promised, nodewatch bans servers for 100k packets, which is barely a burst of 100mbps..
this is the worst experience i’ve ever had.
I got 1 VPS that I signed up for 1 year ago from NFPHosting which was bought over. Except for the initial hiccups with the VPS’ IP, the service was generally ok for the past 12 mths.
I’d have to agree with Eric. I am a new AlphaRacks customer, but haven’t had any issues or anything to complain of in my first few days. Usually when companies do buyouts and mergers and things of that nature it can take time to get processes nailed down. So give them a chance.
do not use. the worst ever experience. 90% downtime guaranteed
do not mess with this company, they are the worst. simple 10 pool vps with 1 connection per hour gets blacklisted by nodewatch, this is ridiculous, so bad, it’s just impossible. my worst experience of my hosting life.
AlphaRacks NETWORK-DOWN (for our VPS’s NODE completely) !! since May-16, 2019.
AlphaRacks client portal showing me, announcement: NETWORK-OUTAGE since May-16, 2019. [NETWORK ROUTE ISSUE]
Today is May-23, 2019.
1 WEEK.
Network is still down.
after all these, i hope they really have something really better to offer to those clients who are affected.
everyone must know this company is the worst. no customer service, no vps, nothing
I would stay away from these guys if you value your sanity. They took over from hostmybytes on my VPS and I have had nothing but issues. Several times I have had my website I host on it go down, only to log in and look at something like:
This is on a server that is supposed to have 100GB of disk. When I contacted them about this, the only option they gave me was to set up a fresh new node with a new IP address and have me restore my data from backup. They didn’t even consider moving the data themselves or setting up a new server and keeping the old one temporarily active so I could move my data without having to do it from my personal machine.
Hi, (1) Would you be able to add one IPv6 /64 SUBNET for any OVZ-VPS ? or any of your KVM-VPS deal ? (need many many IPv6-addresses for my project)
if yes, (2) Would you be able to setup your-side DNS-Nameserver(s) to use my-VPS as a delegated (authoritative) DNS-Nameserver for that IPv6 /64 SUBNET ? if you can, then i can setup PTR/RDNS for any IPv6-address from that IPv6-subnet.
if yes, Thanks in advance.
+1. Great offers, solid provider! I have been an AlphaRacks customer since 2014, in fact bought from a LEB offer by them back then :-)
One of my favorite VPS providers! and a great offer.
Terrible, super limited vps. They shut it down and you have to go and turn it back on manually, every single time.
I’ve had the worst year with them, do not buy, oversold to hell and downtime is pretty common.
Shared hosting is also terrible, a friend migrated his site from wordpress.com and it went down like 5 times per week and for several hours…
My experience with these folks have surprisingly been not bad. The support guys are actually pretty easy, and fast to work with.
I have used them almost two years. Never seen so much downtime and ftp not working once a week.
These guys are absolute trash for a company. When they bought my previous provider, who I had cancelled with a year ago, they re-activated the package and tried to bill me! A dirty business trick they did as part of the acquisition to try and trick cancelled customers into thinking they hadn’t cancelled and to pay again? I think so.
They also re-subscribed me to all the mailing lists I unsubscribed from, without ANY permission from me. I can’t unsubscribe, it fails, nor do they offer one-click unsubscribe to comply with CASL law in Canada. I’ve opened two support tickets and tweeted them several times to stop emailing me, and all are ignored and closed. I now report every single unsolicited email to the RCMP who enforce CASL law with the hopes that Alpha will get a fine.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ALPHA RACKS. Far from a professional company.
I had WootHosting which was rock solid until AlphaRacks bought them. Now I have hours of downtime per week. They also aggressively spam email that use fake “RE:” and fake Support ticket replies like they’re a bunch of scammers. Aggressively avoid and hope that they don’t buy whatever company you do choose.
Horrible experience with AlphaRacks. Their VPS shuts down automatically almost every day. I even created 5 tickets but they just do not fix it.
Do not waste your money.
All my servers with Alpha racks went down today. The control panel and the client web sites were also down. No information or communication were provided on the issues. These guys and their services are as useless as tits on a bull. I will not renew my services with them when it expires. Nothing but disappointment through out the life span of the service.
Danger Danger Will Robinson! Keep away from them no matter how cheap it is.
Another thing with these guys, I am not running a dns service on my server, but yet dns port 53 is opened. I don’t even have bind installed. So don’t know what they are doing in the background with your VPS. I don’t doubt they hack into them via console panel. Which is why, if you value security, you are better off with a more reputable host provider than these jokers.
Always down for one reason or the other! As we speak, all VPS and hosting services are down since 9pm EST yesterday!
They are the worst company what I know, the vps can’t have more than 20 day uptime.plus support team is lazy … VPS also have big lag.Now they have some problem who can’t fix after 20 hours? Really?
I came over with WootHosting (which was good) but the AlphaRacks guys are weird. First, they reassigned a new IP without notice. Then my server went down and would not come back up. I tried for days to open a support ticket, but the screen said “critical error.” They offered a lot of deals recently; maybe they bailed and ran. Either way, it may be advisable to wait until their service stabilizes. At this point, I merely hope to get to my data.
May 18, 2019: Almost two days ALL , I repeat ALL their VPS and services are off.
This situation, if you had the misfortune to buy their services is catastrophic.
They said: “Our datacenter is located in downtown Los Angeles, CA – equipped with proper redundancy and high resiliency”
The truth is all is down from 2 days and the resilience of their systems is equal to zero.
You are not even able to open tickets, even the open ticket page is down.
The time when woothosting is not acquired by alpharacks, I got a cloud resource subscription, costumer service is good, no hassle, no waiting. But since Alpharacks got the woothosting the Costumer Service response is not good, waiting for long response, idle tickets for 2 days, reply after 2days.. wtf…
I don’t know why, employees getting lazy..
After woothosting bought by alpharacks, my life ruined
Their support terible. My VPS down without any warning or notification. I know my VPS down by my customer complain.
Firstly, they replace my VPS and running less than a month, now down again for 1 days.
Enough is enough. Stay away from this provider. You’ve been warned
i was hosted on nfp hosting which was great until,these guys bought the company
now 3 days all servers are down and no responses to any tickets…
one automated chat response was there about some outage etc
totally irresponsible
So far my experience with them was not bad either, but now i’m dissapointed, to say the least.
They state there is outage for some parts of their network.
“There is currently a network level outage with our upstream provider, causing downtime for our Los Angeles and Miami based services. We are investigating with the engineers.
No ETA currently available but we are working as diligently as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
Thursday, May 16, 2019 ”
Suddenly their client section is not working properly anymore and their support is not replying anymore as well…so far for 24/7 support???.
Instead of requiring new company’s and bribing about that, they should pay more attention to managing skills for when the shit hits the fan.
If they really would be professional, they would inform their clients about big issues like this. And to be honest i can’t recall i ever experienced an outage for days…ever!
Since they are suddenly unresponsive and the issue is still ongoing, i take their explanation of the upstream provider as highly doubtful, and just a cheap way of hiding their lack of skills.
I bought the 3GB offer for a 2nd VPS with AlphaRacks, 1st VPS was via NFPHosting that got bought over. However, the website and client area had been experiencing slow loading for the past few days. Not sure what exactly is going on.
hi Julian, please check my ticket 995830
i can open all website in this server
please
Paid Alpharacks. It’s been more than 24 hours and still no service and still pending.
Please enable my vpn.
Invoice 787195.
In my experience so, it’s borderline scam. I bought it based on this offer, 5 days ago. It’s been down now for 3 of those 5 days. No communication whatsoever.
Down for everyone ? exit scam (network down or just they don’t have paid the upstreaam) ?
Please check my ticket 995830
All my services have been down since Friday. Logged 2 tickets politely asking when they anticipate being able to resolve, no reply received. Not very impressed with customer service.
I had been a customer of them for many years now without any issues. Until recently, servers have been down for days, and I’m not alone. No way to access servers at all at the moment and support has gone dark. With the exception of the occasional tweets that they are working on the situation, nothing has been said on when or even if we can expect to regain access. I have since moved to a cloud provider and initiated a paypal dispute for all of my servers that have recently been paid for. 3+ days of downtime is completely unacceptable.
Well I have a VPS with Alpharacks that has been down for 2 days. I opened a support ticket and have replied to it twice. No answer and the VPS is still down. Perhaps their service levels have dropped with their recent acquisitions.
Maybe their higher end services are better, but I tend to have problems where they reboot the host server, causing my VPS to go down, or they let other VPS’s consume all the resources so mine becomes very slow.
But now there is an on-going outage lasting four days now. Said it was a problem with their “upstream” link. Everything still seems to be down, and no one is replying to anything. Did they all get arrested or something?
Trying to reach Josh from here as I’m not getting a response from the support team, as well as Josh is not responding to my emails.
My servers (4 out of 8 including one reseller account) are down from last 4 days and I have created multiple support ticket and also wrote 3 emails to you but I have not received a single response either from you or support team.
Please help, I’ve not paid money for this kind of service.
Buyers, I don’t think you need any proof more than this to avoid this seller.
Thanks,
Actually, all my servers are down now except for one share reseller hosting account…
I encountered the same hell.
Hello Guys,
I’m doing the comments from here, i am really not happy with the customer servers now in alpharacks compare to woothosting before.. In woothosting i dont have any complain in regards to replying my ticket. Right now, from alpharacks, their website is very slow loading, their client login very slow.. what happen, please don’t oversold your products, some customers will get affected by it ..
This is really crazy and lazyy..
unfortunately they are having problems with the network provider so they are unable to provide any products at this moment
I think Alpharacks may be going down permanently. Sure they buy out other hosts (Woothosing, Hostmybytes, etc), but servers go down. You would think they would have better customer service and at l;east answer your support tickets in less than 2 days. I, also, was a customer or alpharacks for for a couple years and saw the downtime and endured the lack of customer service.
You are right. this is happen to me too… On woothosting my resource pool and shared hosting running well without any downtime. But, since woothosting migrated to alpharacks. all of my service has shutdown. and they are just give a promise not a solution… my resource pool has shutdown since one moth ago and my shared hosting has shutdown since three days ago…
Fraudsters, disable the server after payment.
Ticket not are not responding.
Brought a windows VPS from them and from last 4 days service is totally down. No response from customer care. Nothing. Ask for refund and waiting for their response. Please stay away from them. They are fraud.
How can they continue offering, all the reseller, hosting and vps plans and yet side it down and slow??
Service is down.Opened a ticket three days ago. Still no response.
Ticket number: 466097
I reckon something bad has happened at AlphaRacks. I have been with them for a few years and all seemed OK but the last week or so it has all gone very bad. My sites are offline and I see the AlphaRacks client area is painfully slow. I got the same reply about “upstream connection problem” – perhaps that means they haven’t paid their bills and are being throttled?
I’ve got 2 cloud pools from alpharacks and they both are down for 4 days.
There is no matter why it has happened and when will it be online (if it will of course), they are sentenced to be out of business forever.
The only things this guys can hope – they could find a job for <1$ / hour and they will never work with people directly.
Utter shit. Los Angeles data Centre is apprently down, which effecting my vps.
Logged a ticket, no response after a day, so I chased and just got told we are aware of an issue please bare with us. Oh ok, I’ll remember that when they want payment and if payment isnt paid straight away, what the chances of my Vps being suspended!
Like others have side, site is awfully slow, client area times out. I would avoid this provider!
I am an old customer from woot and my servers have been down for 3 days with no response to my ticket. Terrible to the core.
Same here: 2x WootHosted Linux VPSs offline since 19/05. Not impressed!
Remember to cancel any payment agreements with AlphaRacks. I just cancelled all my PayPal agreements with them. I don’t want any money taken for services that are no longer provided.
Steve, I already did that.
I never thought that a web hosting/vps service provider can be so unreliable, I’ve seen complaints about other providers but nothing is close to what we are experiencing with alpharacks. It’s going to be a week tomorrow with this outage and they have no update for us except saying that it’s out of their hand.
LEB should take action to never promote this provider.
Everyone, avoid them like the plague. My server/hosting has been down since the 16th. (05/16/2019)
Same story as others – VPS Control server (66.154.105.2:4083) has been down for 5 days now (going on 120 hours of downtime) and no reply to my support ticket which was opened 24 hours into the incident.
Even if they are busy and having MAJOR issues, they offer all of us an explanation or contingency plan.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before? How do we get our money back?
Not only that, but they are still advertising on many forums “deals of the week”. Yet servers down/
Good Luck to you. I am lucky to back it all up before the fiasco. I had a bad experience with AlphaRacks 2years ago which they wiped my server and pretended they don’t know shit. I then moved my servers out to Woot, it’s not perfect but at least it’s functional. Then Alpharacks acquired woot, and now it’s all hell breaks loose.
It’s outrageous what is happening here! To be honest, it almost looks unreal because i never experienced outages for 1 week. Ocasionally a few hours or so, but this??…
For everyone who payed with Paypal and is still within the 6 month buyer protection period, open an dispute and instantly escalate as well. The dispute is basicly to open communication with the sellers, but since they are not responding anyway…escalate!
And i did read this in the reactions above as well, don’t forget to cancel your automatic payments for when the contract is finished.
I am here to echo all the concerned alpharacks customers is addressing. All my servers are down for 5th day and counting.
You should all prepare your own contingency plan and find a new reliable service provider. It is a pain in the neck to reconfigure and install all the necessary linux packages required to run my services. Unlike digital ocean, this mob don’t have offline or bit level imaging service option to make life easier. Yeah I know, it is cheap and you get what you paid for.
Same As others seems this company has closed, I will be lucky if I can get data back
To be fair, you should have offsite backups of your data. It’s only your fault if you don’t!
Very bad company. VPS down is week! No results and cannot resolve it. Highly not recommended
Same deal here as well, my KVM box is down since this s**tshow started and one thing comes to mind… https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/05/a-tough-week-for-ip-address-scammers/
I purchased an $8 plan recently, so really can’t be too much out. They never got it working. They have been ery pleasant and responsive, but get nothing done. AT the end of this message I’ll include my last message from them.
So, I called my bank. I have my refund.
Good day jp hurst,
We at AR completely understand that this situation has affected you as well as us.
We are still waiting for a reply from our DC Quadranet about this. We have seem to lost contact with them due an internal dispute in QN.
We are not owned by a former or actual employee from QN.
There is some info in the web about a criminal investigation or something like, about this we are not so sure about it. But what it’s true is that our DC has locked our servers. So we dont have access thru VNC, SSH… nothing. We have tried to recreate nodes or instances and for now its not possible.
So, for now its all the info i have, i’m sorry i can’t provide you more info since i’m at the sales department, but i’m turning this ticket to our support deparment so one of our tech guys will update you further and perhaps provide you more info that the one i can bring you.
This is all i can do, hope you understand that this is out of my support scope.
Best regards.

AlphaRacks Hosting – Defining Superior Service
To everyone here: read their announcements.
2019 May 16 https://www.alpharacks.com/myrack/index.php?rp=/announcements/29/NETWORK-ROUTE-ISSUE-AlphaRacks-Outage.html
2019 May 24 https://www.alpharacks.com/myrack/index.php?rp=/announcements/30/Statement-regarding-our-current-outage-and-relating-situation.html
According to them the problem is with QuadraNet. Although nothing is seen on http://status.quadranet.com/ and https://blog.quadranet.com/ , they haven’t posted anything on their Twitter page ( https://mobile.twitter.com/quadranet ) for more than 7 days, which is really unusual for them.
To AlphaRacks:
Maybe put a link to “Announcements” on the front page. and change the “our datacenter” text on https://www.alpharacks.com/network/
Terrible English as well, are they really a US business?
i dont think so we will be getting money back however these folks wont be in any of recommended lists.
I am not happy with this provider. Too much downtime.
I received an email from AlphaRacks a day or so ago. Seemed they were still trying to get things going again. I understand QuadraNet have turned off all access. I read it is a “crime scene”. It would be nice if QuadraNet gave 48 hours grace or more so that victims of this debacle could recover what they could As it stands I will probably prefer hosting in Dallas or NY after this, and certainly not with a company that uses QuadraNet. I understand it is not QN’s problem but flicking the switch seems harsh and I can’t easily forget that.
Being a crime scene, does not mean they can get away with providing no service or support whatsoever.
Stay away from AlphaRacks. My 5 servers are down for 3 weeks and no answer from them.
All the different services I have with them have been down for almost 2 weeks, no support, help, communication whatsoever. Just let in the dark with no solution, nor commitment at least to find alternative solutions.
Before I’ve had lots of issues with their services and support, but this is quite insane.
Not worth your time, let alone your money.
Alpharacks is still alive? Or maybe already DEAD, and buried. What happen?
been down for 11 days. LOL.
holy shittttt. NFPhosting was trash, but this shit is a dump.
My sentiments exactly. VPS down for two weeks+, originally got a reply to support ticket saying it was an upstream problem but no response since then. Pile of steaming horseshit would do a better job.
Alpharacks is scammers. Absolutely fraudulent service. Servers are down more than 2 weeks. Tech support responds with replies compiled more than 5 years ago (at least the copypaste text is appears here or there on the forums in ancient topics).
My VPS is still down. I have been a long time customer of Alpharacks. I had no problems until now. Stay away from ordering this service until they have fixed everything.
I had two year-long contracts with AlphaRacks and both were completely unusable. The control panels don’t work and the servers constantly fail. My last server was down for over a week before I gave up and moved all of my services off them. Don’t buy a year-long contract, they will only keep it running long enough to avoid credit card charge-backs.
i am using 5 years now alpharacks . don’t use this web company also Tech support not responds. shity service . DONT USE
Alpharacks seems more like a fraudelent service providers. They bought my previous service provider nfphosting and I had been using the services for more than a year and there was minor outage once for 2 days. Everything was handled very quickly. Enter Alpharacks and all three of my service plans are down for more than 2 weeks, no reply to ticket, nothing. In my experience, I’ve never seen any service provider being down for that long. What it means is that these guys just decided to shut down your access given that they had my money already
I have 3 services with Alpha Racks and they have been down for the past 2 weeks, only one reply from support which said it should be back up within a week but nothing, sent another message to support still no reply.
Alpharacks claim there is an issue with their data center and a criminal investigation is taking place. I believe Alpha Racks should be investigate for criminal activties also!
My VPS has been off for nearly a month now. The early tickets were responded to. However the last 2 have had no response for 2 weeks.
Avoid this company at all costs, they shouldn’t be allowed to sell on LEB any longer. Maybe LEB should introduce a 3 strike policy, the amount of issues all over the internet regarding the services Alpha Racks provide makes for very interesting reading.
As for no ETA on when the issue will be resolved is the worst thing you want to hear from any provider and the best bit, Alpha Racks thinks that is acceptable to ignore their customers and put a little announcement, stating how it is not there fault.
Its OK there they have their money from customers, therefore don’t care if the service is down! How about they refund every customer in full for the fact that they can’t offer the service that was purchased from them.
This is the reply I received 2 weeks ago from AlphaRacks support. Server is still down and no updates from them since.
Good day,
We are aware of an outage and ask for your patience. It appears that our datacenter / network upstream is facing a route issue which is causing downtime for some customers. We appreciate your trust and patience and are working as diligently as possible to restore services.
We are just looking further into this matter for you and will be delivering a prompt up to you as soon as we can. This could take up to a couple of working days, but we aim to have this incidence concluded as soon as possible.
We are further in correspondence with our datacenter. Also if you’ve detected that our site is being slow its due the fact we are receiving a high ticket load.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards.

AlphaRacks Hosting – Defining Superior Service
I’ve been with Alpharacks for 1 year now and I’ve gone through so many issues. Do not buy this host. My most recent issues is they had “criminal activity” on the server I was on and all my sites and my customer sites have been down since April 9th, about 2 months from today. Half of my clients have moved on to other hosts and my business is basically gone because they also have not given me any files or backups. Their servers just disappeared. Their support is replying but doing nothing. You’ve been warned.
This service goes down all the damn time. Waste of money. Don’t buy this service unless you want to constantly update support tickets asking them to bring it back up
Unfortunately, I have to chime in similarly on AlphaRacks until they decide to fix their stuff. My VPS has been down since May 16 in the afternoon. I got a very good deal on mine, so it’s not like I am out much if they go under, and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt; however, their support has gone dark completely. And what about the customers that are paying for their top tier services? I hope they’re getting more frequent replies to their questions.
Until AlphaRacks can get their stuff together, I do not recommend them.
I bought a box two years ago and worked fine until this month,
now i dont have access to machine,
i had sent some messages to support department and i did not get a answer.
Is there someone to solve my issue?
Their service sucks. I have to ask PayPal to help me deal with them.
DO NOT ORDER A SERVICE! NO RESPONSE, NO ACTIVATION, NO UPTIME NOTHING! THEY A FUCKING SCAMMERS! JULIAN IS THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE!
No support at all. VPS worked without a problem for months and now its offline and no answer from support. Avoid this provider!
I’m unsure if they still accept new subscriptions, but I can assure you they make no effort in calming the multiple people affected by their so-called outage that started on a few servers 3 weeks ago, and apparently spread out to most if not all their systems.
Stay very far away!
Same here and has been without service for 2 weeks now. They bought my old hosting company and the service (if any) went straight to hell. Stay away from them.
Officially gone! Got this email about an hour ago:
After over a decade in business we regret to inform you that AlphaRacks is officially closing its doors. Given the recent outage that exceeded the provisions and financial capabilities of our disaster recovery plan, AlphaRacks will no longer be providing services. We were a budget focused VPS provider, which did not leave room for additional options financially within our disaster recovery plans.
We have contacted various different VPS hosting companies to attempt to establish a transfer agreement that is in accordance to our privacy policy. In addition, some of the below providers have reached out to us offering assistance / credit for our customers.
Below are other budget VPS providers that should provide you with a suitable new home for your VPS needs:
DigitalOcean
Dr Server
Altus Host
PSK Hosting
VirMach
We would like to thank our customers for a great decade of your Business and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
AlphaRacks Management.
Officially out of business. Good riddance. Worse host I have ever used in my 20+ years online.
Email received and here is a portion:

Received this message from Alpharacks: “Officially closing doors. Out of business”.
Everyone who paid recently should start filing a dispute with PayPal and Credit card companies, hope we can recover some of our money from these thieves.

These assholes just closed their doors without allowing their customers to backup their data!
I am lucky enough my sites doesn’t change often, and I am backed up. Unfortunate for those people who did not have a backup plan.
Now it is time to look for a reliable and reputable service providers.
A Middle finger salute to the folks at Alpharacks! Thanks for wasting our valuable time and resources.
I got an email from AlphaRacks claiming they are out of business. I’m sure they have committed frauds by selling VPSs that don’t exist. I hope LowEndBox.com and other people would ask the police to look into their frauds.
alphahacks is selling its list of customers to other hosts illegally and without the customers’ consent, it really does not seem like they are going to comply with the contracts and have put a default on their customers.
So Alpharacks is now bust and taken all their subscribers money with them. Very suspiciously I started receiving junk emails from a new company called PSK Hosting almost immediately afterwards. Given that until now only Alpharacks has been spamming me on that email address…well anyway make your own minds up!
their servers are down. I can’t access my vps for over a month since they acquired Hostmybytes. Customer service is ZERO, no response in 2 weeks.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Be careful that they are scammers
Pay the bill and after a few days it doesn’t work anymore, it’s useless to open the tickets because they are closed without the problem being solved
