IPAP.co emailed me their virtual dedicated server offers a while ago. Decent packages on either Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi platform, and the price starts at $6.95/month for their “VDS Eco” plan.
- 512MB memory
- 50GB storage
- 50GB FTP backup storage
- 4TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi (with Premium Plus license)
Servers are with VolumeDrive in Scranton according to their datacenter page, which I think will go through BurstNet for connectivity. While their About page is still empty (and the rest of the site far from “organised”), from their previous offer page they are UAE/Turkey based. At lease vRozenSch00n has good reviews on their service. Their WHT account is still disabled. Although they claimed that “it has been described on our website” (I guess this not-very-informative blog post), “other people’s jealousy” has been blamed — I still don’t find that convincing. They have indeed fixed quite a bit of issues on their website. It is also now hiding behind CloudFlare. We’ll see.

LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.
Nice TOS http://ipap.co/about/tos/
If by ‘nice’ you mean `Frontpage Fustercluck`, sure <_< That was painful to even skim through -_-;
don’t buy if you want to sleep at night, horrible.
Can u plese describe to everybody what was your issue and be more clear? because you semm more like a spammer to me!
At least ‘marco’ can spell.
He’s 16 years old., let’s give him a break,…………
Spammers … 🙂
Good for you , and for yor info , IPAP is NOT one man company 😉
“At least ‘marco’ can spell.”
“He’s 16 years old., let’s give him a break,…………”
It is very bad manners to comment on the spelling and grammar of others. Not everyone has learned English as a native language.
It is your behavior that is about the level of a 16 year old.
I fail to see what the problem is here. We can see that English is a second language for the admin but from what i have seen, i would like to ask, do any of you actually have any **actual** problems with this host? The admin seems to know what he is talking about and is willing to help so why are you concentrating on his grammer and spelling?
@dd: I’d have to say a lot younger than 16. Attitude like that earns this lucky poster a 8 year old level.
My god! The font! It burns!
hiding?
direct-connect.ipap.co has address 173.242.117.177
Yeah, hiding made no sense to me either. CloudFlare is a great service 🙂
Hehe. “Hiding” does not meant to be a derogatory term here. I was just explaining the IP changes since last time.
Actually the Main reason for using Cloudflare is that it speeds UP the site loading!
Cloudflare provides many feature , HIDING … is not one of them!
“Actually the Main reason for using Cloudflare is that it speeds UP the site loading!”
so your server too slow to host your website ?
‘Speed up’ means more speed , actually WordPress themes are slow in some cases and CF is making better performance , i recommend you to take a look at their website and use their service if you want … 🙂
I already use them 🙂 btw I’m interesting on your webnx plan, hehe, when that will available
Funny how they deleted that record, isn’t it? It’s almost like… they were trying to hide.
@LowEndAdmin, typo title? Do you mean “scratchtown”? 😛
Hi,admin
Can I use my own windows 2003 license or my win2k3 iso?
I have get my own from microsoft.
thanks.
Yes , but installation would be on your own 🙂
we will give you some access like KVM , and you will install the OS
That’s great.
well. do you have any west coast server?
Well, No you actually can’t. In accordance to Microsofts Acceptable Use Policy on Windows Server license’s you cant use your own license on hardware you do not own.
Virtual Machines aren’t hardware, though!
And I’ve never heard about this in the AUP.
Virtual Machines just run on thin air.
… or do they
(watch this video immediately after reading the above for the best effect)

I was with IPAP and thought their service was very good compared to some other VPS providers. Don’t know why there’s so much bad ‘press’ about them.
I do think the TOS does need to be improved though to be honest.
Thanks :).
TOS will be changed our new sister website is coming …
There is not bad press actually people want to say bad to sell their own ,
Making fun of our english , and typos says they have got nothing else to say
Maybe it’s the voice of experience trying to help out a newbie.
And some of us have been very specific as to the problem with your company. If customer service and your presentation actually was important to you, you would have followed up with what we were suggesting instead of blowing us off. Even LEA up there in his review pointed out there were issues.
DRMIKE is helping you not dishing you.
Most of us know you are providing cheap and reliable service.
ABOUT page need information. (who you and what is your vision and growth goal which will indicate that you are here for long run(at least). It should also informative and inviteable or interesting for viewer or future customer wants to be.)
TOS need touch up (a lot) 🙂
It looked like childish. You need to look at others or get yourself online legal service to write one for you (it is cheaper to use online legal service).
It will protect you from a lot of things and show you that you care.
About the About page we are still waiting for our sister website to come up and then we will post everything on it!
i noted your kind posts and will use it in our website 😉
actually i really care about what people are thinking about us what they want from us and what makes us more disciplined .
so i really appreciate if any one can even help us more with this 🙂
@ Drmike , if you were like this you are now , we would respect all of your words , but please accept at very first , you was like someone else 😉
At the time i am asking our Legal Adviser to work on ToS and me myself will take a look at big companies’ ToS(s).
We would be more than happy if someone names some of these online legal services…
Hello again mike ,
we was ready for about 100 orders 😉
BTW out of nowhere , a Chinese website like lowendbox put our offers on their website , that is why we got overwhelmed 🙁
i can tell you we got some HIGH traffic that caused our website to be down for 30 mins!
that is why we are late 😉
New Servers will be ready on WebNX in 2 days!
Locate in LA?
I sent a sales email to volumedrive 2 weeks ago
Still no reply
That is why people prefer us as we are fast 😉 (I meant only for VPS and VDS)
but They are overwhelmed as per Josh sayings ..
But still i do not get what is the relation between this post and them?!
You use VolumeDrive, so I’m just saying your lucky that they respond to your emails.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=7361426#post7361426
We have lots of servers there … i think that bring us priority!
Why are you posting this here?
What goes around, comes around.
As i said i just wanted to tell this man why Josh didi not answer because they are overwhelmed with hundred of orders ATM
any way sorry for being off the topic , ….
I was not talking to you. I was talking to Daniel, he was picking on me for being off topic on some other thread.
Sorry if it looked like I was picking on you on another post.
Some see me as horrid, but im actually as nice as a teddy bear 🙂
They were selling x3450’s for $50/month. Are you surprised that they are being slow on the orders?
On the other hand, I have a volumedrive VPS right now and I can tell you it is almost as bad as Virpus. In just a couple of days I have seen iowait of 95%. Logging into ssh can take several seconds, and my vps locked up for over 30 minutes writing a 200 mb file before I rebooted it.
Just yesterday they shutdown the VPS without notice because they were doing emergency updates. When they were done with it, they didn’t even bother booting it back up.
So what is it with US?
We do not resell their VPS(s) and we not do URGENT maintenance at all!
all maintenance will be announced at least 48 hours in our New Blog
IPAP I was talking about volumedrive, not your company.
I had a bad experience with Volumedrive before when they claim my server having too high of a bandwidth spike and limited me to 10mbps. And it was pretty terrible support which reply to me like once a week. Left after a month when they capped me the 4th time, leaving my pocket out of my setup fee 🙁
Anyway I was quite tempted when that $50 X3450 offer came out. But thinking about it now I doubt their network can really handle all those 100mbps unmetered new servers. May be it is alright now but when those new seedboxes start filling up and push bandwidth like crazy then people would all cancel their server and VD get all the free HDD upgrades and Ram upgrades that people paid for.
Network wise VD was good half a year ago. Though I don’t know if it is still good now.
Their network has had random disconnects monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) ranging from 2 minutes to 2 hours.
I agree on this as we have to be honest 😉
I am intested at your WebNX server.
Please message me when it is ready.
thanks.
We will sir , Thank you for your interest in our services
🙂
I srly dont like the unprofessional TOS.
No thx.
How so?
Thank you but our ToS is not maing customer a criminal like any other company we just added the rules we have 🙂
if you ant more rules i will give you a FULL ToS that will likely making customers criminal 🙂
Actually here in the States, your AUP would be thrown out if it was brought in front of a judge. It’s very sloppy, nothing and no one is defined, and is pretty full of holes. You don’t even define who your own company or who your clients are in the document, a requirement in most countries. For example, you reference someone called “US” but without defining who US is, it’s legally meaningless.
Have you even read anyone else’s TOS/AUP?
I think we’ve covered this before. Over a dozen years experience in hosting here. Maybe you should consider what folks are trying to tell you when they tell you you have problems.
And please get a darn spell checker. I at least have an excuse.
Now it is a GOOD critic on our ToS , i assure you we will change our ToS in 7 days and will update everybody in this thread 🙂
IPAP admin, is it possible to have the bandwidth decreased to lets say 2TB and scrapping the 50GB backup space for more memory?
We can give you more memory with al these things as promotion :)!
Very nice!
I will signup now. Do i need to create a ticket about this 🙂 ?
I’m interested also 🙂
Can I order a package and have a free memory upgrade ?
Regards,
/Sorin
For this please open a ticket and ask our Senior Manager for this you know i am not at the position to give lots of these free stuff 🙁
but i am sure he will help you in 2-3 hours 😉
But we will have this for BluePanda as we promised
How much memory are we talking about?
Can you offer me 1g ram 1TB bandwidth no backup for same price?
Hello,
NO BW change NO HDD change 🙂
RAM will be upgraded to 1GB on Eco
2 GB on Med
4 GB on Prem if you prepay for 3 months in advance 🙂
@IPAP CO Admin:
How do I do that? Your shopping card only allow 1 month.
Is any VDS will be available in WebNX?
Yeah , please open a ticket for this however your server would be ready with extra RAM
and please specify in Ticket that what location you prefer so that we can help you even better!
Created a ticket about this 🙂
I have no idea what locations you have available if im honest.
I though you guy only has scranton PA location (USA) for XEN/VMWARE.
It is also available in Germany?
Scranton servers are full ATM 🙂
we have Germany and i wish Webnx delievers the servers any time sooner!
Could you guys take a look at ticket number 9055 please? Thanks a lot!
Hello,
answered that couple of hours ago we are backed up with many orders and just ask you to be more patient
Thanks a lot IPAP Co admin.
Is it possible to pay using Alertpay? I’m not using Paypal or Liberty Reserve.
AlertPay can be available can u please email me at info in 24 hours?!
Do you have any update regarding Alertpay payment? I sent an email to you more than 12 hours ago.
Is the download speed on the VPS slow or is it just me? Getting an average of 100kb/s -> 280kb/s
YOu can use Cache fly or any other test speed for testing the speed of your VPS!
You can expect to know about the pipe capacity with Cachefly which is a CDN. You may be downloading the file from a server next to your rack. 😉
each DC has a test file you an always try them 🙂
All VPS Orders delivered (VPS not VDS)
althogh some of VDS orders delivered to customers and rest would be delivered in next 48 hours 🙂
if you want your VDS this week i would say go and order now because servers are getting full … 🙁
i’m ordering vds, still not receiving it, almost 24 hours since pay..
Hello,
it will be ready soon sir as we said 24 to 48 hours !
@IPAP Co admin: which location are you provision for VDS?
@IPAP Co admin:
I would like to order VDS Med (2g) plan with Citrix XenServer.
let me know when they are available.
Still waiting for mine too but i will wait the 48 hours before raising this issue again 🙂
Bluepanda, which location are they provisioning your vds?
I asked for Germany 🙂
Thanks for the info.
Hi,
We provision on germany and USA 🙂
Also WebNX servers will be available soon 🙂
IPAP Co admin, are you provisioning vds on WebNx server location? or just dedicated servers only?
only VDS we do not provide Dedis anywhere else than VD at the moment!
Hi,
I am just being curious here. Why does it take so long to create a VDS apposed to creating a VPS? Surely all that needs to be done is a username and password created to the VMWare panel so we can install the OS ourselves?
Do the orders need to be manually keyed into the VMWare server? Is that why it takes long?
When orders are high and most of people want us to install OS it takes time and actually having servers which can host VDS is more important!
Does that mean you are waiting to buy more servers from VD – your current dedicated server provider?
Or do you already have the servers ready and its just a matter of time as you are currently installing the OS on different VDS’s?
Sorry but i’m curious, never had a VDS before 🙂
IPAP Co admin,
Could you let me know when VDS at WebNX server are available?
I would like to have a VDS on Critrix Xenserver.
Hey,
Why Webnx? we do not have XenServer at WebNX we have KVM over there 🙂
Oh.
You offer KVM on WebNX? can I use windows there then?
Sorry about that, cuz I don’t know much about that.
IPAP Co admin,
I take kvm at webnx if available.
KVM is full virtualization so you can use windows
IPAP Co admin,
Is it available for me to order?
We have servers but we install OS (ESXi,Xen,Linux) on them depending on orders
Thank you for explaining that. Its great to see that you are not keeping us in the dark 🙂
I will **try** to patiently wait haha.
Still waiting for my VPS to set up, not complaining, just saying 🙂
Would be Ready today
Hmm.. Still waiting for mine too 🙁
He stated that it’s going to be “next 48 hours :)” on March,30,2011 11:49am USA central time.
If I predicted correctly, you would have 24 hours to go. 🙂
Oh 🙁
I thought he meant 48 hours from when i ordered.. (Order time: March 29, 2011 @ 1:29 pm)
11 days waiting for my server 🙁
Is it dedicated?
all dedis would be online on monday , tuesday 😉
So… Ill need to wait half a month for my server I was told would take 3 to 5 days?
You guys really shouldnt make promisses that u cant fulfill.
IT’S MONDAY, please deliver my dedi.
Done 🙂
We sent you an email and your server is on OS Installation Process and will be accessable in 1 hour!
Hello
sorry for delay we areworking on all requests hard to have all VPS(s) online !
Please be patient 🙁
IPAP Co admin,
Your Webnx kvm are available to order?
If so, i will order it. Please let me know.
At the moment sir i can not prmised please give us time to deliver current services!
ok, I will wait until when available.
Please keep me/us posted.
Hello ICAP, i did order the VDS Eco. I want to know for how long i will wait for the account to be set up.
I’m hopping you are good host 🙂
we sent out email to all customers that has not received yet their info!
max friday’s night!
Hello,
sorry for this delay some VDS(s) delivered we are currently more than busy 🙁
even we have called ALL of our staff to work on this so please be patient and be help of us!
so that we can get all orders ready till weekend (end of friday)
after that we would be in normal way … 🙂
I saw in the email that all orders were going to be done by midnight on Friday GMT. Mine has not yet been processed and i would like Germany.
Thanks, im hoping this is going to be a good experience 🙂
It is thursday 🙂
your order would be on giga international DC!
Oops. My bad. I better sleep haha! Getting tired 😛
Oh and not sure what giga international DC means..?
what is the best OS to choose, I have a high traffic site
Giga-international.com
depends what is your website … 🙂
Test File of Hetzner Online AG :
http://hetzner.de/100MB.iso
Test IP :
88.198.193.1
Giga INternational :
91.194.91.215
http://www.giga-hosting.biz/treiber/testfile-100MB.test
my site is portal urbanazebra.com( its on Macedonian language), and i have current problem with my host its says i use to much CPU % because of my traffic (10 000 daily), so pleas help me to choose the best OS
That looks fine. The download is done in less than a min on my connection at home and the latency is great 🙂
I would say our Shared Webhosting services would be better if your site is PHP 🙂
our webhosting service is on 8 Core servers with 16 or 24 GB of RAM and is secure and optimized .
on which DC? hetzner or giga?!
Giga 🙂
i receive the mail to send u the os and the location, i will not send u the OS because i don’t know who is the best for me and my location i want to be Germany. Just to replay or to send it to the other mail to ********@gmail.com
hentz i fast as hell
hentz is fast as hell. sorry for bad spelling 🙂
can u please email us regarding your site? as we need some info that must not be revealed!
please email to our GMAIL account !
sorry for that, i did send you an email 🙂
i’m gonna ask for refund…, can’t wait anymore..
an update got my VPS in US :
Fairly good considering the price, isn’t it?
Ah your VDS has 2 Cores! please ask support to make it 4 for you!
🙁
Just to give everyone an update….
I am still waiting for my VDS and this is NOT an April Fool’s joke! 🙂
Have emailed to gmail account?
if yes a tech will be setting your VDS UP 🙂
April Fool’s Jokes does not exist in our country BTW 🙂
Yes I emailed within 10 minutes after I saw the email (sent @ Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 6:51 PM EST).
Hopefully I’ll have my first VDS to play around with this weekend, but thanks a lot for keeping me up to date!
Just thought i would add.. Same.
Hello
it is being setup 🙂
You can talk to tech irectly withing that email !
Still waiting for my VDS either.. Hope it worth the waiting.. and just to remind ipap admin to change the due date..
Hey faizal , we have delivered some VDS today and are delivering right now!
Hi, I have tried to contact through mail since yesterday but I didn’t get a response, so I thought I would ask here…
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is this is a real company? Do you recommend this company? Any real customers recommendations?
2. Does IPAP accepts payments from Egypt?
3. Does IPAP support OpenSuse 11.3 or 11.4 on vps?
Thank you…
Ahmed;
you should figure it out by browing.
1).Some people already has vps and VDS so yes they provide service for real.
Also, you can look up “fajar” already post download speed and disk speed of his vps (US).
2)IPAP Co. is based in Turkey. So, IPAP Co. you can ask. I think, if you can pay with paypal it might take it.
3). according to their site, they can install any linux if you open a ticket and request for it.(might pay for non-opensource os.)
Hello Ahmed ,
sorry if you got no answer as we are busy at the moment 🙂
but answers :
yeah it is real why you think it is not?(we have registered company in almost 5 countries)
I am not here to say that IPAP.co is a big hosting provider now , NO it is not , but we have plans to expand it as we did not this rate of customers in few months!
i admit that our About page is not complete 🙂
however , we have offices in Turkey,Armenia(for hardware trading stuff),UAE, Iran(Warez Hosting , Colocation and DNS failover for middle eastern customers),Canada(will be ready soon) and of course Poland 🙂
About your Egyptian Payment , at this time regarding Egypt problems , we do not accept CC from Egypt but you are welcome to use Paypal,MoneyBookers or Liberty Reserve
Thanks for the quick response…
Sorry, if you looked a little offensive but I have been searching for a couple of days and I have seen many sites that are certainly a fraud… a couple of reasons why I asked if it was real, I don’t mean to be picky, but while I remember the reasons please, allow me to give you the picture..
1. Your website template is used by about 4 other hosting companies that offer similar stuff… they even use the same icons and very similar hot ads.. obviously it is a template… which is generally not a big issue but try to modify it so that the all three don’t look that similar….
Besides, the site text looks weired under chrome/linux… I haven’t tried anything else to be honest, but here the html is full of canvas tags… and it doesn’t look good.
2. You have live support which is great, but I checked continuously for 2 days and there was no one online… I tried in all possible times… If you don’t have someone to handle support it is fine.. hide the feature for now.. and write in the site that you will respond in 24 hours for example… that sets expectations.
3. Your contact us mail is on live.com and gmail… which is acceptable for live chat but IMHO you must write a mail @IPAP.co … it was really weird to me that a hosting company that has data center don’t use their mail… If I am sure that you are real… it doesn’t matter but when I don’t…
4. there is no address and contact details… write down some real contact info… phone numbers and addresses, that helps a lot with the credibility…
Again, I didn’t mean to be offensive, in the end we are techies and what really matters is the actual work… but a few suggestions that help people see that you are real, and if you have branches in 5 countries.. you must write that… It helps a lot in people’s first impression about you.
Actually, I wouldn’t have taken a second look if I hadn’t seen this forum…
You are doing good job on this forum… keep it up.
Wish you all the best…You seem to be offering something good, just need some “Makeup”…
Moneybookers should probably do it.. I will be back in a couple of days when ready…
Thanks again.
Thank you for your great suggestion ,
1 – Yes it is , we are now working on a new theme …
2 – That is not live support , that is live sales chat , even without sales chat online we are under heavy rate of orders ,specially after that Chinese website post , so live sales would not be online till Monday or Tuesday
3 – We do not have DC in US,BTW we have info email if you fill that form , it will send an email to info or you can simply use info at ipap dot co
4 – we are not USA based , so putting address would be meaning less 🙂
Our offices are not for public visitation
and …. 🙂
5 – A toll free number would be online in coming week
I still think you should write down the address… even if no one will ever visit.. but it would have made me feel different about it… and the toll free number is v.good for marketing.
Good luck again… You do look like an active company since you are working till a late hour on weekend… Good luck 🙂
We will write down our address then 😉
We have VDS to deliver there will be no time as weekend … 🙂
Hello, i am again going here to say that my dedicated server was not delivered. First when I hired they said it would take 3 to 5 days. It was not delivered.
Then I was told it would take 3 more days. It was not delivered.
Then i was told that in 1 or 2 days IT WOULD BE DELIVERED, the deadline was yesterday, yet it was not delivered.
yeah, 11 days, and still no server. I really dont care about “1 free ip” or “hd upgrades”, I just want the server I paid for. My services are offline, and I am loosing my clients. I really hope that now you gus PUT A VALID ETA, and not a lie or a guess.
Hello
we will have your server , i know you may understand it is not our fault
you server will come with 500GB HDD and unlimited BW and 10IPs for excuse 🙂
anyway , we did everything in our hand to have it sooner!
why is it that it’s not your fault?
Because we are not the one who places servers in rack 🙂
My account was setup with Linux by mistake so i thought i would take the opportunity to post the results from the tests and the info of the CPU.
Hi ,
as this issue 🙁 i have to say that i am now downloading windows ISO from Microsoft website , the problem is that for no reason on some servers their download link , represents 404 error but i am now working on it sorry if my colleague made this mistake!
It is no problem at all, it gives me time to test the hardware properly as in windows you do not get such precise timings.
I really would like access to the VMWare panel so i can go ahead and do this myself as the plan was to try Windows for a little while then move to linux if it is stable enough 🙂
If you focus on getting my username and password to the panel then this would be much more helpful than installing the OS for me.
There is not panel for the Xen.I don’t know whether any panel for the VZ.
It means that you have to open a ticket to reboot or reinstall you OS.
And setup time is take up to more than 24 hours which they promise will be deleived in 24 hours.
I think they are using VMware according to website information. So, ask them to allow to use vcenter.
it is not Xen it is XENSERVER which has no panel
we have SOlusVM for OpenVZ and ViClient for VMWARE and SolusVM again for KVM 🙂
but XenServer 🙁
Do any of your tech people familier with XVP? for citrix xenserver.
almost 48 hours wait, and still got no details received. preparing to post a ticket now
Please email ipapbilling gmail com
i will take a look and make your VPS ready in few hours!
Am I the only person who would not do this? That’s like Softlayer asking me to email softlayerbilling@gmail.com – same context, you really need official domains. I nor many people will trust to send externally like this.
Sir,
you can always email; support,info,sales,billing at our domain 🙂
the reason i ask for that email is that we can manage orders there better when orders are alot!
anyway yu can email info ipap co 🙂
But asking people to email a hosting company at gmail in the modern era is just wrong and hard for anyone to trust.
you could actually use gmail infrastructure with google app suite… it is free and you use all gmail stuff with your domain
I bought a vps with them today and already paid me they do not have the data, when sending email to them and do not respond, I am disappointed with this company.
Just passed here to say that my dedicated server was delivered 🙂 I hired the athlon x4 dedi plan, yet it came with little changes and upgrades 🙂
Here are some test results:

Wow! this is extremely good. Now I just need a os change and I will be happy forever 😀
Paste bin would have come in handy ^^
lol, i thought that the code tag would add rolling side bars. I was ridiculously wrong. I spanned a shitload of code lines on this. Im sorry for that. ;_;
i received this reason a while ago:
Hey , we make reply to each ticket!
we will have your ticket asap!
and fo your info we only deplo VDS on business hours not 24×7 🙂
so you have orded on APRIL 3rd and it is APRIL 5th it can not be more than 72 hours (3 x 24 hours = 72 Hours)

i dont think i want a ticket asap, but my VDS being delivered is my priority. ill email ipapbilling right away
These guys are great with customer service, but I sent a ticket to them (I use their VDS Prem version) concerning about the internet connection.
I’m only getting about 7.81Mbps Download / 5.24Mbps Upload speeds. They were installing a panel today (I use Win2003, my own license) and it’s been hours since I could log in to the VDS.
Taking quite a long time to fully set up too… but they are really good with service and dealing with issues.
Although my server says its in Germany… I chose Scranton, PA 🙁
So far, I don’t know what’s going on because I order my server on March 31st and I’m still waiting!
I receive some email saying that the server will be set on Friday 1st and since then, not even an email to say that there was additionnal delays! So, if you’re in a hurry, it’s maybe not the right time to order here 😉
I will keep you posted if I receive it 😉
They’re polite people, I appreciate it. But they’re slow… Maybe because they’re so busy with new hires, but is ok.
My experience: I’ve got some problems on my VPS, so they’re moving it to Germany, well, I should wait, but I’m satisfied with their service at the moment.
Guillermo.
Hey
sorry for all delays , fwew VDS and VPS has not delivered yet about 10 🙂
i am now making all available!
Pretty slow on the delivery.
The support is also very fast, but very confusing. They often close tickets after their first response, which kinda doesn’t let you respond or ask further questions.
We close tickets because you do not Select OTHER in AREA which you must select!
Why don’t you correct the area or use a ticketing system that allows issues to be reopened? Things are not always corrected after the first response.
ordered xeon server 2 days ago…does anyone think i will get the server?
since VD itself is out of stock of their DS
VDS is out of stock we have ordered couple of servers about 1 month ago and we are waiting for them to be delivered then we give them to you!
unfortunately VD is being so slow on Dedicated Servers …
That’s interesting, why did you not advise of this when you took my money or when you advised “delivery this weekend”?
