Thanks Dustin….
Your company is awesome. I already had a small VPS with you going on few months but just now ordered another VPS the 140GB one..will be using it for Owncloud backups
See you around!
Hi Jakob, Love it! Thanks for being a customer of RackNerd – it especially means so much to team and I, hearing positive feedback, this is what we work so hard for.
Happy to hear you’re happy with the level of service we provide. Thank you for expanding with RackNerd!
hi , I’m asking about port 25 is open or not
Hi hicham, thank you for your interest in our services! Port 25 is enabled by default on our KVM VPS product line, as long as the mail is clean, compliant, opt-in, you shouldn’t have any issues using our services.
We hope to do business with you!

Hi Shiramine Rika,
RackNerd’s website is not hosted on the same servers as our reseller/shared hosting servers and RackNerd’s website is behind Cloudflare.
Some of the benefits of this include segregation in the event of a power or network events affecting customers (very rare) as you can imagine. This allows us to be available to our customers. And communicate with our valued customers.
Additionally with this, additional security measures are achieved – and customers always appreciate this.
We hope to do business with you. If you have any particular questions, I’d be happy to answer them!
Hi Racknerd,
Reseller LEB plans seems interesting.
1. What the Cloudlinux limits for each cPanel account under reseller?
I/O, CPU, RAM, IOPS, Entry Processes, Total Processes.
2. Also do you offer MariaDB?
3. Is the pricing recurring?
4. Do you offer help to migrate from DirectAdmin to cPanel? Or do you offer DirectAdmin reseller plan?
5. Only one Datacenter is available to choose? Not NY or Dallas?
Hi Davis! Thank you for commenting and expressing interest in RackNerd’s services. For the price and service we provide, this deal is amazing. I have to agree – one could easily obtain profit by purchasing our reseller package. Our goal is to help those just getting started or those who are already established but may be looking to deploy additional resources and diversity. We want everyone to do well.
As for the resources, here’s how we structured them to provide the best end-user experience to everyone.
CPU – 100%
I/O Limit – 80 MB/s
IOPS Limit – 15,000
Physical Memory Limit – 1GB
EPROC (Entry Processes) Limit – 200
NPROC Limit – 220
INODE Limit – No limit
If you believe you may need more of a particular resource, just let us know and we’ll evaluate how we can adjust for a specific account.
Good question by the way, we believe in transparency.
Pricing is recurring, we do not anticipate any price increases – as our pricing is structured for sustainability, while also respecting cPanel’s most recent price increase. The only way we will adjust our prices is *if* cPanel raises the rates which would be beyond our control, and only then would the adjustment be enough to cover the increase. This would be a global impact to all providers if this was to happen. Our goal is to continue providing resources at very competitive rates.
At the moment we do not promote migration from Directadmin to cPanel – though if needed, we’ll help :)
As for the location – as of now we are offering our reseller hosting and shared hosting out of Los Angeles – we will soon be expanding this service offering to various locations. Los Angeles has been a very popular location for us.
Hi Davis, I also noticed I missed a question regarding Mariadb – at this time we do not use it. It is a goal of ours to implement – so we should be utilizing it soon.
I sincerely appreciate your time and hope we can work together.
i have had a good experience with Racknerd VPS that i bought in january. Latency to Asia is good.
Hi Don! Thank you for being a customer of RackNerd.
Latency to Asia is quite amazing, I agree. We also just in case you’re not aware recently deployed another POP in LAX. So we have multiple deployments available for customers to choose which facility/network provides the best connectivity/latency to their region.
We hope you continue to enjoy the level of service we provide, and that you expand your services with us!
Hi Dustin,
thanks for answering my queries about reseller hosting.
I forgot to ask one more question: Are the nameservers white-labelled?
Hi Davis, no problem! Thanks for replying back.
Yes our reseller/shared services are entirely white label, hostnames as well.
We understand the importance of this, anything we can implement or do to help our customers success we are in!
I jumped on the reseller plan! couldn’t pass up on the good deal
BTW Do you guys handle migrations? I have a few other accounts at skynethosting I want migrated under my reseller
Hi Derek! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be your provider.
We’d love to help with the migration. Once you’ve logged into the client portal, please submit a ticket with our support team for the migration. Please include migration details and credentials.
I sincerely appreciate your time and I’m confident you will enjoy the level of service we provide.
Signed up with rack nerd in February and I currently host two websites with them on my VPS. You’d be amazed how much performance and power you can pinch out of a small 1.5 GB RAM VPS these days!
Cheers
Hi Wesley, thanks for being a customer of RackNerd and sharing your experience.
We sincerely appreciate your business and hope that you continue to enjoy the level of service we provide here at RackNerd.
do you allow VPN ? the VPS comes dedicated IP address right??
Hi baghdad! Thank you for expressing interest in RackNerd!
We do allow customers to use their VPS for VPN – and all of our VPS include a dedicated IPv4 address.
I sincerely appreciate your time and look forward to working with you.
Thank you for the offer
Is RDNS updates supported? and is FreeBSD supported with the VPS
thanks
Hi Ras,
Thank you for considering RackNerd as your provider!
We do support rDNS, and most customers are able to set rDNS within our control panel; for some support is required since we do have IPv4 diversity, to help benefit our customers. For those ranges since the CIDR blocks are smaller than a /24 we manually adjust rDNS. It’s simple, open a support ticket, provide us with the request, and we’ll handle right away :)
As for the OS, we can always attach/mount the ISO – just provide us with a download URL via ticket.
We hope to do business with you.
EXCITING NEWS! We promised the community pictures of our new office space – today was the big day! Have a peek: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6673397315400794112
Looks good guys. Keep it up.
Hi Vik, thank you so much! We’re enjoying the new office space. For anyone local, we’d love to invite you over!
Your reseller package, is there an extra cost for the WHM panel?
Hi Murray! Thank you for your interest in RackNerd!
Good question by the way. No additional cost for our reseller plan with cPanel/WHM – It is included (fully licensed).
By the way, our reseller plan is fully white-label, as an added bonus. We hope to do business with you.
Hi! I bought a VPS in January, it’s still as good as it was in the beginning, since then there were a couple of 10-minutes downtimes and that’s it, very good for this price, thank you very much! Waiting for EU locations, I remember they were announced before, it’s closer to me and I’d be glad to have a VPS in Amsterdam or Frankfurt.
Hi dw, thank you so much for being a customer of RackNerd!
Our commitment to expansion is a priority on the road map, we soon hope to deploy VPS out of Amsterdam.
Happy to hear you’re happy with our service. We’re here for you!
Looks like a great deal.!
Your TOS says customers need to monitor their CPU and I/O resource usage to stay within fair share limits, but does not define what these are.
What thresholds, averaged over what time periods, should customers on KVM packages set for alerting to ensure they stay within them?
Hi Martin! Thank you for your interest in RackNerd, and for the kind words!
At this time, for our VPS product line, we simply operate on a fair share policy as you’d expect, with any VPS provider. Our host nodes run on Dual Xeon E5-2690’s or higher processors, with SSD Cached RAID-10 drives so we have a healthy amount of bandwidth and performance available. Of course, if you are looking to maximize the CPU 24×7 at 100% capacity, a dedicated server would be a better fit or our Hybrid Dedicated Server line, but if you are just needing to occasionally burst, that’s no issue on a VPS.
If there is any particular use case you are looking for that you’d like clarification on – feel free to ask, I’ll help!
I hope we get to do business together.
I read all the good stuff here and we are looking for an alternate vendor for our instances and so decided to try them.
First day was a disaster. We had two SIMPLE question both on their control panel (the system itself was perfect). The tech who dealt with these questions had NO IDEA what he was talking about and just stretched the issue out. Then he asked whether we had any important data there, (Whose data is not important), because he wanted to scrub and re-install. Remember that there was no issue with the server, only the control panel. We told him NOT to scrub. He decided to take the server off-line and do whatever. At this point I asked that the issue be escalated and it was.
Not only was the matter handled WONDERFULLY, but they gave me a credit, took full ownership of the mess they had made and called me. We had a wonderful call, for over an hour.
YES: They started on a bad footing. And I will be slightly nervous until they fully earn my trust back.
BUT: I have NEVER had a company respond as well as they did.
Regardless, ALWAYS have back ups if your data is indeed important. Even if you were using AWS, Google Cloud, MS Azure, etc. ALWAYS have a back up if it’s important.
Hi Anthony, I totally agree with the backups!
I appreciate you commenting and I hope we get to do business together as well.
Hi jpmh – thank you so much for doing business with us, and selecting us as your provider!
We appreciate you being our customer, and for having patience with us. I’m happy to hear everything is fully resolved, and that you’re happy with how we handled the hiccup.
Feel free to reach out, if you ever need anything. We’ll always be here for you.
Bought a vps earlier today, and got it all setup to replace my contabo server. Im pretty pleased with the performance so far.
Hi Vik, thank you so much for signing up with RackNerd!
We’re happy to hear our service has been enjoyable — if we ever fail to meet your expectations just send me an email and I’ll be sure to help.
dustin@racknerd.com
Thanks!
I called in to verify renewal rates. Also to see if I could reach a real person. Jame’s answered and helped answer all my questions so I purchased a KVM VPS to fiddle with.
Hi Alex! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be your provider. I’m happy to hear that you’ve pulled the trigger on our KVM VPS product line.
If you ever need help, we’re here for you!
I had a good experience with Rack Nerd. Support was fairly quick to answer my questions (I feel bad since I had a lot of them, lol)
Afterwards I bought one as a back up server today and they gave me a sweet deal on a little more bandwidth…threw up my rsync scripts this afternoon and i’m all set. transfer speeds from my other VPS server in chi-town are rightaround 600 to 700mbps consistently which isn’t bad.
Hi Ryan F! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to host you. I’m happy to hear our service has been working out and that the speeds you’re achieving are excellent.
If you ever need anything, or we fail to meet your expectations, just let me know dustin@racknerd.com
I sincerely appreciate your time and business.
Bought a reseller account yesterday support got me migrated from my reseller with Eleven2 by the end of the day. Switched nameservers on my domains and already feeling the speed improvement.
Hi Space Bar! Thank you for making the move, and for trusting us with your business. I’m happy to hear your experience has been good, and that you’ve opted for our reseller product line.
If you ever need anything, just reach out! We’re available 24×7.
Even at night, the RN DC02 server room can reach mainland China its good.
Hi liwei, that’s awesome! Happy to hear our services are working out for you.
A lot of users from mainland China will choose DC-02 or DC-05, truly just depends on their ISP, which will dictate which location is better for them.
I sincerely appreciate your time and thank you for sharing your experience with the community.
do you have anything bigger than “LARGE STORAGE – 6GB KVM” on offer at all ?
not too concerned about disk space but something like 8 core @ 12GB ?
Hi Andy! Thank you for your interest in RackNerd. We are equally interested in working with you.
I’d be happy to customize a solution for you. Can you send me an email?
I’ll be sure to take care of you.
Can I get ipv6 with the vps??
Hi Abhi,
Thank you for your interest in RackNerd :) Our KVM VPS do support IPv6, once you’ve ordered just open a support ticket and we can quickly route up to 100 IPv6 addresses free of charge.
I sincerely appreciate your time.
This is sufficient storage for me for now (4gb plan) but if I need to upgrade to the next plan up in the future, is it easy to do? What does that entail of? how much downtime and does it need a reinstall?
Hi Kel, thank you so much for considering RackNerd as your provider.
Upgrading is easy, by ticketing our support team we can assist with the upgrade process, once the upgrade is completed, a reboot may be necessary of your KVM VPS to take full effect. You can initiate the reboot, when the timing is best (to minimize the downtime/impact to your live environment).
A reinstall is not required, though if you’d like to ever reinstall your machine, reinstalls usually take 2-4 minutes, very quick, and easy through our client portal, just make sure you have backed up any important data prior to reinstalling.
We sincerely hope to do business with you.
