Well, according to their page, may be the port is limited to 8mbps? Sounds interesting
What makes you say that? This plan is not listed on are website.
Yes ins’t listed, but the 512MB plan, is a possible “equivalent”. (but with more storage)
According to their site, they offer only 5Mbps port speed on Basic package. Makes me wonder what port speed this WHT special has.
You can Burst Upto 100Mbps In UK. 1Gbps In Phoenix and 100Mbps In Sweden
Wow this offer is cheap, compared to theirt another offer with some high price servers:
http://www.firstnetserv.info/cart.php?a=add&pid=42
512MB RAM / 1024MB Burst
40GB Disk Space
300GB Bandwith on 5MBPS Port
Upgrade to 100MBPS, £15 Per Month :—)
Quite a few servers that need filling.
Where to choose location? No paypal?
paypal is accepted. It just is not visiable on Order form.
*Visable
And at the moment location is selected automatically out of the 3
But if I would like to have one in Sweden, should I open a ticket?
There isnt an option to choose anywhere specific at the moment.
VirtPanel is rubbish.
Oops, it isn’t, forgot it was vePortal. (Getting Dum)
It’s not that bad.
virtpanel is probably one of the best panels out there. and Less complicated than the likes of veportal/solusvm.
Are you sure? I think solusvm is a lot better organized and less complicated than VirtPanel.
I dont think Virtpanel is complicated at all. Its also very Lightweight on the system solusvm requires plenty of messing about to get it working.
I setup SolusVM in 5 minutes.
Any native ipv6 addresses with these plans?
Not at the moment sorry however we hope to have ipv6 within the next 2-3 Months
Sorry, but I can’t find the paypal option! Where is it?
Once the invoice is generated there is the Options box with payment methods. Alternatively just contact support.
Giving 512mb “GUARANTEED” ram with only 10GB of disk space would be the perfect example of public overselling.
As many know Tom. we do not oversell are capacity there is simply alot of servers that need filling.
No sure who are the *many*, *many* know that proper burst should be 2x ram and not 4x ram.
What is the problem Tom. i have made it clear we have servers to fill and dont oversell.
10GB is a little bit too low, do you have any upgrade offer for more space?
No upgrades on this plan i am afraid. Are Basic Plan starts from 4.99 though
I still don’t trust FirstNetServ enough to use them.
Care to explain why?
We can’t do upgrades on the plan, we can’t choose location. You give a lot of ram, and only 10 GB space, which is weird.
Its an automatic setup hence the no location choice. Regarding the RAM the likes of Virpus offer this too.
Virpus do not have more locations.
The plan seems a bit fishy, and… http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=881429
Which you “flamed” at me for posting last time, saying that my name wasen’t even Daniel and I was pretending to be you. Thanks for that!
Okay lets get a few things straight here
1, You are entitled to your own opinion but you must backup your statements which you appear unable to.
2. Regarding that WHT post. Whos account is suspended. who offers Unlimited accounts for stupid prices? Not FirstNetServ! this easyhost also claims to run there own servers which they dont.
I think you should take a look at http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/6492-please-review-my-sites-http-easyasabc-hosting-com-and-http-bestvalueinks-com Read it all. would you still want to host with easyhost?
Rgs
I don’t care for anyone involved into all this however somehow I can’t ignore the fact that you pulling yourself out mainly with discreditation of other side. Even if your accusations of easyhost are true it’s still not nice not to pay own bills… This can happen to you too and you wont be happy same as easyhost guy wasnt.
And if you asking already… not I also wouldn’t want to host with easyhost, neither with you. You both give impression in this matter like immature kids.
Anyway, I wish you good luck;
I submitted a cancelation to him which he ignored. Its important you should trust your webhost and over the years i have never let a client down i have always been honest and respectfull it seams this easyhost quite the opisit if he does not like some one he calls them a scammer.
May i also point out that the WHT thread is nearly 2 years old. and he gave up on easyasabc hosting because the people at WOT found he had been posting customer info online.
he now runs http://niceday-hosting.co.uk/ so be carefull!

http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/firstnetserv-1-99-128mb-openvz-vps-in-uk/#comment-6699
Any provider that harasses me goes straight on my Never-Order list,
i worry that the port speed will never be more then 5mbps what is a 100mb burst?! how long will that last?
and i NEED it in the UK not sweden and most certainly not further
Sweden is now full, Phoenix has 2 Slots left and UK Servers have over 40 Slots left.
Rgs
Hi.
Still no way to chose the location?
I’d be interested in sweden but absolutely not the other places..
Do you think to add another swedish node?
Thanks :)
Hi
You can choose the location but the order will need to be setup manualy This is why i said there was not a choice in the matter because it could take as long as 3-4 hours for the vps to be setup. If you are okay to wait then you can select a node of your choice.
We are lucking to deploy more Swedish Nodes in the future but there not cheap :(
yeah but if you don’t have any swedish nodes, how come can I order one?
Any ETA when you’ll have swedish VPS available?
Server has very slow I/O and also slow network connection. TUN/TAP to be activated manually every time you reinstall the OS.

As i said in the support ticket it is a shared server which means there is other customers appart from yourself.
Other shared vps, even cheaper, are running better! You are overselling…
We do not oversell
The node you are currently on has over 9GB RAM left and more than half the HDD space left.
After writing here I got my account suspended without any reason!
What about the paypal dispute you opened you forgot to mension that.
Dan Meah, stop being an asshole to your customers!!! We are all filing claims because you are a fraud! You are asking people for money and then not giving them the service you are advertising! Your disks are slow your net is shitty, and you are the only person in your company! What is up with you Dan Meah, are you mentally retarded? What REAL company would respond so rudely and say such blasphemous things! NONE! You need to stop trying to host VPS Dan Meah or learn some customer support techniques instead of flaming everyone who sends you a support ticket!
As shown on your website I asked for a refund within 30days terms…
This isnt a support system i made it clear in the ticket. You tried to steal from us and commit fraud we take this seriously and we will be speaking to paypal in due course.
I will be making no further comments regarding this matter.
No further comments are required. I think that people understood the way you do business… Low performance, no refund, …
Don’t worry, Dan Meah is the thief. He has also scammed me out of a refund on his shitty service! I only had enough time to setup and find out his servers are crap, was like 2 1/2 days ad I decided to ask for a refund and he flamed me telling me I’m a thief! It’s people like Dan Meah who give people the idea that VPS are no good! It seems paypal is having a field day with this guy’s service. So many people are filing claims against him.
Just be aware every comment you make its just going to get worse for you. And clearly you have multiple accounts or are just a blatant liar. 99% of customers are happy with the service provided and they know we are fair with them and do are best but when people try to break the law its another story.
I bought 1 vps. Horrible, no tun/tap support. Slow disk performance an ticket never answered!
Hi Mike
If you require tun/tap open a ticket and it can be activated that way.
I’m not seeing Paypal as an option when an invoice is generated.
Its been removed due to fraud of a specific client, You can contact us and we can enable it on your account.
He means he removed it form his 1-man companies website because everyone decided to file claims against him because he’s not delivering the product he’s advertising!
Not a 1 Man company as i have said. But i am the person who deals with the scammers usualy.
Tryin to pay my invoice but the google option does work.
your vps is already active
I just have to say. This service is awesome. Very fast support and a awesome VPS.
Only on the first day, tomorrow you won’t have such good service.
Its not going to work Michael. almost 99% of clients are happy with there service because they used the service without causing server damage or breaking rules.
This host scammed me! They give you a machine and say its 2GB burst, BUT IT ISN’T! If you try to use more than 1GB they will reboot yoru machine until you lower your cost to less than 1GB! This is horrible because I couldn’t even run my java based server! When I tried to get help, it seemed every ticket response is a rude flame from Dan Meah! I told him that the box was acting up and that the net speed wouldn’t go past 200k, he told me to fix MY internet that it’s not his fault! I am currently downloading ubuntu’s ISO at 2.2Mb!! It’s definitely not my internet! So he wipes my data and tells me that it’s all fixed now! I reinstall everything and try again and it’s still having about a 200k limit! (I just moved the server to another location and the server is now uploading around 2mb avg, with the same exact configuration as at firstnetserv, which is normal for my server!). On top of all of that the machines randomly restart and has already cost me a huge chunk of data I can never get back!
I asked for a refund and he said no and attempted to charge me $37 for asking!!! I am now in the paypal claim’s process of getting my money back from this RUDE THIEF!!!
You where using over 1.5GB RAM on a 24-7 usage like i said it isnt for that. yet you proceed to open a dispute which we won by the way and now you have a dispute charge on the account. You where the fool here who opened the dispute without going via the correct channels.
If anyone wishes to see any evidence please contact me @ dan@firstnetserv.co.uk This client also sends threats to sue us and states american laws.
They where using 1.7GB ram for more than 24 hours.
10 minutes is fine but not perminent basis.
I believe you are wrong, my VPS showed me using only 60% of 2GB on avg. Either way I can’t show you the logs now because you suspended my account because I asked for a refund which you are not refunding me because you are a little kid trying to host a VPS company (as I detect from your constant misuse of grammar and lack of vocabulary). And wtf is this shit you sent me???? You say you are a pirate (as you said in this email/ticket you sent me):

Lets just face it. i am not a child this has already been proven. Your not going to have any look bad mouthing us. As i said you must follow the proper channels you cannot just open a dispute after recieving a virtual service.
I’m late to the party, but found this hilarious.
Lain admits to using an average 1.2GB of a guaranteed 512MB plan and complains that he isn’t getting what he paid for. Wait. What?
Move on, next time you’ll know not to buy from kiddie hosts who oversell and don’t allow to use burst.
Tom we are not a kiddie host. and do not oversell if you wish to see proof just contact me and i will gladly provide it.. Regarding the burst if you can read the above he abused this and was using too much burst. he was given 3 warnings prior and even at one point accepted to stay below a certain Level which he didnt do.
I was given no warnings, I was using an AVG of 60% of 2gb, that’s just over 1GB and he kept telling me I was using over 1.5GB. He has disabled my account and kept my money without giving me ANY PRODUCT now. He continues to threaten me in tickets.
Maybe the warnings were when he’d randomly reboot my machine and then provide no help to recover any of the data he caused me to lose? Maybe the warnings were when he started ending every ticket with
“we are not an american company hence we do not follow there law or even respect them. we are british.”
What is your point with that? Are you trying to score one for Britain by picking on people from america? I don’t get why you have to keep telling me that you don’t respect Americans because you are British.
Americans are fine its just the laws i disgreee with but my personal views are not realy any of your business. i dont mind activating your product again but the Dispute fee must be paid first. You must face the consequences for your actions.
I can see other hosts right here on LEB who does not offer burst – Cleverkite, Burstnet to name a few who sell VPS’s without burst ram with succes. :)
“he abused this and was using too much burst”
Thanks for a free laugh.
“I can see other hosts right here on LEB who does not offer burst – Cleverkite, Burstnet to name a few who sell VPS’s without burst ram with succes. :)”
And? They get what they pay, this guy bought with burst because he needed burst and he doesn’t get it.
Right, I mistakenly assumed it was a VPS with no burst RAM
Using burst is fine but when they abuse that we take action, please note the client was given alot of warning prior to him opening a dispute.
We even said he would be fine using around 1GB of ram on a Constant basis (Which was more than he paid for). but he still proceeded to use nearly 2GB.
Don’t let Dan Meah fool you, move on, choose another VPS company! This entire company is run by Dan Meah! He has an issue with not providing good service to his customers and being very rude in tickets!
I was not abusing burst, I was using burst RAM. I wasn’t even using it constantly! I had all of my services set to under 700MB IN THE CONFIG! If it was using more than the 70% of ram I SAW it using then it was his machines fault! I’m runnning the same exact servers on another host with the same exact configuration and I’m not even using more than 768MB! Astonishing and even funny how using another host that doesn’t count on if I’m an american or not, I am able to do the same exact thing at an even lesser cost RAM wise.
I meant 60% (not 70%) in the above reply, typo.
I have proof to prove my point. do you?
For the second time the company isnt just ran by me. I have other staff (They may be lazy) but i do. Does it realy matter anyway how many people run it?
YES IT MATTERS!!!! If I had known before buying that the entire company was run by one person I would not have chose your company!
If you aren’t run by one man why did I get no support from anyone else? Why were all the flaming tickets saying that you are British only from Dan Meah??? Why was the paypal account tied to your personal email and not a company email?
Because you are run by one guy who is very rude and doesn’t care about customers at all! He just cares about the money and securing it in his pocket!
This is my final comment on this subject @ LEB
we are not a 1 Man Op. We care about are customers this has already been proven by offering to reactivate your service providing the fee is paid. Any other Web hosting company would have just ignored you. I admit my comments on america was abit direct. And i apologise for that if you feel offended But i do not respect there laws.
You did not offer me anything! Why are you trying to tell me here on this review site that you would give me my account back and not tell me in a ticket! You are ridiculous! You steal my money and give me a less than par box, wouldn’t help me and kept saying everything was my fault in tickets. Your consistently rude and offensive in tickets, why would I want to give you MORE money??? I’m not paying you money just because I asked for a refund that is ridiculous! Your whole company is a ridiculous scam!
Here is a good idea for the future
do not open paypal disputes with companies.
And even worse, you aren’t giving me ANY services atm and you still expect me to give you money! Are you on drugs!!?!? Have you gone insane?!!?
Its simple. Pay the dispute fee and we can start again. But this must be paid.
You are ridiculous Dan Meah. I opened a paypal dispute because you weren’t giving me a product worth paying for and you were being very rude and not helping in tickets! I don’t need a box that’s going to restart randomly or have a network limit of 200k!!!!
There was no network limit on the box. Perhaps the reason why you where experiencing Slow speeds is because of your ISP.
Why would I want to go back to listening to how much you hate america? Or how much you think your servers are flaw-proof and that all problems are caused by the customer?? I’m not paying you so you can be rude to me and not help again! Would you pay someone to tell you how much they hate your mother country or be a rude dick to you?
No, its not my ISP and you need to stop trying to blame the customers! I am running the same server with the same exact config elsewhere and the upload FROM THE BOX (not counting anything client-side, looking at it server side via BYOBU’s net stats) is avging 2mb like it should! Whenever I asked you to help you would tell me it’s my ISP!!! Why not even look into it???? So rediculous.
Look at godaddy or virpus’s support for a role model sir. They investigate issues instead of saying “it’s your ISP.”
MY ISP HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH UPLOAD FROM THE BOX ITSELF!!! Do you even know that???
Hi Dan,
You can’t blame people for thinking it’s a kiddy host. Your grammar is pretty bad for a British adult. E.g “are” and “there” instead of “our” and “their”. No offense intended mate. :)
Since when do 15 or 16 year olds become Adults in EU?
And the company is run by his parents and not him.
Do you have Proof to backup your claims?
Well there’s no proof that he’s a kid. If he claims he’s an adult, I believe him. I don’t get why he’d lie about his age.
Website, vps and control panel down…
Try firstnetserv.com
web ok but still no access to vps or control panel…
Trying to locate the problem, at the moment it lucks like a router problem within the DC.
Will Update Here & and via twitter
Regards
I do not see any posts on twitter. I understand you may be busy trying to resolve this but I also feel it’s very important you let people know what’s going on, especially when they have no way of contacting you because of the problem and it’s been down this long.
FirstNetServ is dead.
Website loads for me…
VPS and control panel are down :-(
@Luigi
i said we are having a few problems with are UK location what about this do you not understand?
It is still down… I think at this point we can confirm dead.
2+ months since VPS control panel / VPS have been accessable
Who is “we” you still have not told me your name..
I know there is a issue but downtime is now more than 7 days… which issue cannot be fixed in 7 days??
