    Be careful to read the terms of service on the $20 deal, it excludes virtually every service and daemon type. I was looking for a really low-resource VM to run ircd for a small private net on and this specifically excludes anything having to do with IRC(even clients.)

    • On the contrary, we allow most all IRC related activities. Our TOS states specifically they are not allowed, which all hosts should state given it can be so easily exploited. However, as stated in the offer above, we allow IRC related activities on a case-by-case basis.

      Before deciding against us, I invite you to shoot me an e-mail, stop by our live chat or give us a ring. It is likely anything IRC wont be an issue.

  8. Bigscoots has been great thus far. Started on a shared plan and moved up to a VPS. All of the changes were very fast and their customer service is top notch. Scott and Justin are nice guys, very professional and know what they are doing.

    @LEB “IPv6 is available on request.”, so I think that should be in the summary.

    August 26, 2012 @ 5:54 pm | Reply
    • Note, IPv6 is totally free for any volume and available on all our services.

    amazing service at bigscoots, I paid for a good vps and everything ($30+ with cpanel) and I ended up getting suspended due to someone ddosed at 3gbs and then terminated with a refund. But overall good service, but not DOS/DDOS protection.

    • Unfortunately someone seemed to have a vendetta out against you and I am sorry we were not able to combat them away. Generally speaking we have the network to support most attacks, but when someone can find upwards of 4GB/s to send your way, the only savior is a null route — which was done in a timely manor I might add (within 1-2 minutes if I recall), however your VPS of course remained offline. I appreciate your candid review, best of luck to you.

        Although, you should look in to reverse proxys and if someone trys to dos the reverse proxy it auto null routes it, but if they just visit a site hosted using reverse proxy it just shows them the site.

    Hi,
    just a quick question.
    Is the system clock going right? Had soo many VPS where the time was not set correctly and since I am going to use a mailserver a correct time setting is important.

    August 27, 2012 @ 8:23 am | Reply
    • Hi there, a valid concern, but yes sys clock is functioning properly :)

    hi scott,

    is central backup feature enabled in solusvm?

    August 29, 2012 @ 5:54 pm | Reply
    • No it is not enabled automatically but we can give access for quick backups which will allow you to back up your whole VPS if that is your aim.

    I have the 128mb box for a few weeks now, using it mostly as a vpn and it’s working really well. I had a few troubles and Justin has solved it in a couple minutes through the online chat, highly recommend!

    Bigscoots has been a great experience for me. I had tried another offer here on lowendbox.com but the support was not answering questions for many days on end so I gave up with them.

    Bigscoots have responded very quickly and very helpfully to the questions which I had for them. The live site chat is great. The 128mb struggled to run centos for the site I was migrating but upgrading to 256m was quick and convenient. I have opted to get some backup space which is also very reasonable.

    All in all I would highly recommend that folks go with BigScoots as they give a high quality experience for exceptional value.
