Quick question : Do you offer /64 on US special 2?
I need /64 to get my openvpn working
Hello,
We don’t offer /64 subnets at this moment.
Alexander / HostUS

You should never allocate something smaller than a /64 subnet for an end customer. Why do you offer IPV6 and directly break it again?
hello sir, i have read your TOS and i wonder what your VPS service allow to do ? There are almost everything which VPS can do were banned except DDOS/Email attack which should be banned is right , why it not allow to hosting a game server or video stream and so on … service ?

So, I suppose the site does not accept orders from any location besides US?

VPS not provisioned after payment. I also did open a Ticket: HUS-TK29333. It seems some of the users complaining about LA location repeated downtime at their Facebook page. Mistakenly choose that location during order. Is that the possible issue or, they are provisioning vps manually? Ticket also pending for 1 hour. No replies on support ticket.
Service activated and ticket answered as well. All sorted out correctly! Thanks Alexander MC.
You are welcome!
Alexander / HostUS
I have had a plan similar to the US Special 2 plan for a year now and they have been great for me so far. Going to pick up a bigger machine this time around and play with Docker. They do provision manually so it may take a few hours to get your VM. I don’t necessary see this as a bad thing, but it is something to be aware of.
Thank you for your business and feedback :)

Hi!
Happy new customer (since 4 days..) of the EU Special 2 (VZ service). Thanks hostus!
Many thanks!
Alexander / HostUS
I just took advantage of this offer a few days ago (US/EU special 1). I must say that I am extremely satisfied with the level of service I have gotten from these guys! I was up and running within 15 minutes of signing up, and they even had FUSE activated within less than an hour from my ticket.
I’m using Debian 8 with Ispconfig3, and have gitlab omnibus and .NET core running smoother than ever.
Thank you HostUS for a great service!
Thank you very much!
Alexander / HostUS

I would like to ask, does this price apply to the contract renewal cycle next year or does it only apply for 1 year (only this year)?
Second question, do you limit MYSQL connection time?
Have any customers been banned account because of slow mysql connection yet?
Hello,
Plans will renew at the same rate, however, please double check when you order.
There are MySQL limits for shared / reseller hosting plans – please contact sales@hostus.us if you require further details.
Alexander / HostUS
Another happy customer. Have several VMs with them. In addition to fast speeds – uptime when I logged into VM after a while was amazing – around 1 year without reboots. Too bad that plans with several IP addresses are no longer offered.
Hello,
Thank you very much! We still offer additional IP addresses (as an add-on) should you have a need.
Alexander / HostUS
I need about 10 IP’s :) Is that possible and what will be the price ?
Hi Andrew,
Earlier today I made a purchase but fortunately, you guys canceled my order as you found me a fraud only based on the name. I contacted FraudRecord and they just have given me clean chit – https://www.fraudrecord.com/api/?showreport=4e3261ea8874147f. This type of silly fraud detection should be done during the process of registration, please and this won’t be a huge task.
I would be very glad to get back my money finally.
Hello,
Thank you for your suggestion.
Alexander / HostUS
As I can see in your TOS, I am limited to 2 streams for icecast/shoutcast on my VPS. I’ve ran up to 5 on a simmilar box (KVM) a few months ago. Could you entitle me to do so?
Does these have on spot upgradation for packages
Regarding the “US/EU Special 1” – is it possible to upgrade the storage on these if needed?
Thanks!
Why is your SSL certificate, and information here listed as a company registered in Delaware, yet your PayPal is under Breeze Web Hosting LTD?
hey guys…
I registered new VPS for semi-annualy since 5th July
and
i’ve been sending ticket from that day until now still have not fix the problem
as i said to the ticket, please fix the rDNS coz i can’t send any email to Yahoo, gmail or other mail provide
Why the hell did you replay the ticket saying that “We have mentioned that SMTP is not available – you need to use a mail relay or host emails externally.”
Don’t you guys understand what my problem is!!!!
They disabled email function for vps. Don’t bother trying to send email from your box. You need to use 3rd party if you want to send email.
Hi,
What is your setup time? I placed an order for a storage server early this morning and its still in a pending state.
Thank you
I was initially extremely satisfied with HostUS. Performance was good and the price was great, and even support was pretty spot on. Lately, however, I’ve been having longer and longer periods of time with absolutely no response… we are talking 6, 10, 12 hours without a response, while the VPS is off. To be fair to HostUS their automated system suspended my VPS for too many SMTP connections in most of these situations. One time I did find an email address that had been compromised and was sending SPAM, however every other time the only thing that could possibly have triggered their detector was an opt-in mailing list mailing to ~150 individuals.
My main concerns with HostUS right now are the “nuclear” option of shutting down an entire VPS because of too many SMTP connections, and the amount of time it takes to get services restored after a ticket is filed following this event. I also have no reason to believe that the failure to respond in a timely manner to tickets is simply because of the type of ticket. In both of the last two times this has occurred, I’ve received a response within an hour or so explaining what happened and offering to turn the VPS back on with my commitment to resolve the issue (which I’ve provided within 5 minutes of the HostUS response)…but then hours and hours (10 – 12 last time, 2 and counting this time) pass before the VPS is un-suspended.
While I understand the importance of protecting the network and the reputation of their IP’s, I wish they would implement a simple blocking of the offending port, leaving other services up, and allowing the opportunity to resolve the issue with out 5, 10, 15 hours of downtime waiting for a response to a ticket.
Bottom line: Still happy with the service and performance, extremely displeased with the time-to-resolution of support tickets and the complete shut-down of a VPS if a certain arbitrary limit of SMTP connections is reach as determined by an automated program.
FYI: Latest ticket submitted at 02:16 HostUS time, currently 06:50 HostUs time, and no response or even acknowledgment on the ticket (submitted with “High” priority [highest level possible]) yet after nearly 5 hours, all services are still down and the VPS will not start.
Also in fairness, Leo from HostUS has very helpfully suggested out-sourcing email to a commercial SMTP service, and I would like to do that, just haven’t had the chance to put the pieces together because of the time required to change SPF and DKIM records, test before putting into production, etc.
That said, I can’t recommend HostUS for any type of VPS and/or application that deals with outgoing email, even for a small or personal domain.
So, 5 hours later my High priority support ticket was finally answered. And, according to Andrew at HostUS, this is their utterly ridiculous support ticket policy that anyone considering obtaining service from HostUS should be aware of:
“As we respond to tickets in order, each time you bump the ticket, it gets moved to the bottom of the queue.”
By “bump” he means reply, update, post additional information, or in any way interact with your ticket other than simply waiting hours and hours for a reply from Hostus.
Absurdly, the order of creation of tickets apparently has nothing to do with the order in which they are resolved in the Hostus world. This is a lose-lose proposition for the customer. You can submit a ticket, cross your fingers and hope and pray that it will eventually be addressed while you hear nothing back for hours on end, or, you could submit a ticket, and any time you ask for an update after hearing absolutely nothing back it apparently gets bumped to the bottom of the queue…in what world does that make sense, and how can it possibly be considered customer service?
US/EU Special 2
1 vCPU Core (Fair Share)
What processor is this for US location E.g. LA?
Another happy customer here since 2015, and still have a few of the VPSes with them. Uptime is rock solid, difficult to find something similar among other providers listed here.
IP lease?
