Our community is usually not shy about making its opinions known.  From threads where people light into providers who disappoint them to people who fall in love with a host and put links in their sig, our readers are passionate about the providers they support.

The reviews category is a great resource.  We never edit or reject reviews that are posted on LowEndTalk (unless they’re obviously fraudulent).  You’re getting the voice of the community and unvarnished, unfettered user experiences.

Here’s a recent sample:

HT Hosting:

• 💚 “…the services (specifically their support answer time and CPU steal on the services) have gotten progresively worse over this period”
• 💚 “Paid for service and it was deployed in minutes. After a couple of hrs VPS did not respond anymore via SSH. When checked “panel”, show service cancelled. Sent a ticket asking why cancelled, now 24 hrs later no reply and VPS removed from panel as if never existed. Nor any refund money. As you mentioned, i noticed steal of approx 4% when nothing was running.”
• 💚 “Last ticket I opened with them, I didn’t get a response after 6 days.”

SmartHost:

• 💚 “I’ve not put the server through its paces yes but just from doing the install and basic admin tasks it’s speedy, no lag on the network or on the server.  Their tech support response during the day was pretty quick. I sort of had an answer but wanted to see anyway and wasn’t disappointed.”
• 🔻 “Sends emails about known data breaches 1 month after it already happened.  User needs to open a ticket to get VPS up and running, because VPS just doesn’t boot after reinstall.”

Crunchbits:

• 💚 “In terms of the use of these months, it has been very stable, and some commonly used projects have been migrated to this server.”
• 💚 “Big ol thumbs up over here from me.”

Hypere Cloud:

• 🔻 “I recently had a disappointing experience with hypere.cloud”
• 🔻 “Despite my request, the company refused to provide a refund. Later, I decided to give them another chance and proceeded with an order for one of my personal projects. Unfortunately, despite assurances of server readiness by January 11th, the server has yet to be delivered.”
• 🔻 “hypere’s customer service is terrible.”

KhanWebHost:

• 💚 “First we opened a ticket but we said let’s try the live chat and I should mention that for such a low priced service, the chat operator responded within minutes”
• 💚 “my friend has not had any issue with the server and uptime and stability have been pretty good.”

Keep your eye on the category…and if you’ve had a good, bad, exceptional, or outrageous experience, why not contribute to it?

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
