Hello There!
Most of our staff are in fact based in New Zealand although we do have USA based staff/numbers.
Thanks :)
Does this host provide root account ?
@Cameron — thanks for the update. Great to see some Kiwis offering budget VPS hosting :)
@james — it wouldn’t be a VPS if no root access is provided.
I try to contact them from about 4 days with no luck. Support email is not reachable, helpdesk is not responding, can’t submit ticket and site netxservers.com is parked.. Hmm..
@Michal — not sure about the support issue, but their website is at netxservers.net (not .com), and it is still alive.
Well, I’m talking about .com domain because this is where the system notices come from and this domain is mentioned at the support page.
Anyway, I have to say that VPS is pretty good and setup really takes minutes.
Hi There Michal,
We are having some problems with register.com where that domain is located. We will set the nameservers and it will go to where we want it for a day or so then it’ll change back. We are working with them to get this fixed.
Please email us at our .net domain for support.
Thanks!
Looks like FiveMinuteVPS have been taken over.
It has been, yes. You won’t be able to order any more plans after this date sorry.
Cheers,
Cameron
