Still same template, used by UGVPS and many others and not care about
Yeah, agreed, such company should be twicely avoided.
1) Public template
2) Australian Company ?! How do they manage their dedicated server even if they are leased ?
3) OpenVZ ?! OMG!!!111
Thanks for your concerns.
1) We understand it is great to be unique and have a custom website. However at this point, other priority, such as providing better services for customers has taken place.
2) We lease some servers and own some servers. Los Angeles is fully colocated and owned. Australian doesn’t mean we cannot manage servers. Our staff take shifts and we also have staff around the globe to help out. We’re also Query Foundry, LLC registered in Wyoming, USA.
3) OpenVZ is still the most popular and used by most as it’s easy to use and low resources. We have already released KVM products in some ways :) You’ll find out shortly. Stay tuned.
Just to say, I’m sure your services are great and all, I just hate the excuse of;
‘However at this point, other priority, such as providing better services for customers has taken place.’
I’ve heard that from providers before, and it does not even take that much effort to get a redesign done, even if you outsource it to someone to do it for you, it takes little effort that would actually effect services at all.
I’d be worried if redesigning a site would alter services? It’s just a stupid excuse/comeback.
The design is done. The site is done. What we need is an upgrade of the support/billing system and also to move it to better infrastructure.
We recently acquired Versatile IT as you may or may not know. We’ve been working on merging their support/billing system first to get those customers back in action.
Thanks for the feedback!
Whatever you are sniffing, I want that.
This was in response to Alex btw.
Some of the comments here are utterly ridiculous.
+1 for Cloud Shards, they hosted my main ownCloud server for sometime and performance and uptime were always excellent.
The network from here to the node in Dallas is pretty good — wish I was an openvz fan, or I would gobble one up.
I hear you. A lot of customers have asked for kvm. Once we finish our infrastructure upgrades in Dallas, it will be rolled out. After the new website of course :)
is that a /64 IPv6 range or literally 64 IPs?
We won’t be able to provision /64 without kvm, which isn’t on offer yet.
would love to try if I didn’t have to pay for GST. sigh
Note that they dont support rDNS for IPv6 :(
Just a heads up, they don’t support rDNS on their ipv6 addresses :(
This will be introduced at a later point.
Horrible provider, take over companies and fuck over users.
My recommendation, run from this provider, they will try to stick it to you, without even a courtesy spit.
Hi, can you please explain what happened? If there are issues let us know. At the moment we’re working on all migrations / improvements and there are no known major issues outstanding.
If you are angry over resource reduction from Versatile IT, I’d like to make an open apology here as per the email sent out. We can’t provide unsustainable offers. This is why companies close. We choose to stick to our pricing / offers and best match what’s available. We already heavily discount all matching offers. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I have a bunch of vps’s from them, always sort out all my queries within minutes, fantastic customer service.
They are a little more expensive, but the service they provide makes up for it.
Been a subscriber of theirs for over a year.
Thanks for the great feedback and it’s great doing business with you. We can’t make everyone happy but we try our best to please who we can.

This is one technology that I would love to be able to use for myself. It’s definitely a cut above the rest and I can’t wait until my provider has it. Your insight was what I needed.Thanks
