At NFP Hosting, there is no waiting around. Services are instantly provisioned, and 24/7 customer support comes standard with our plans. No compromises. No excuses. It’s really as simple as that.

very good provider.
especially fast and available assistance to listen to the various issues by solving them in the fastest times
You’re awesome reginald! We’re so glad that you’re apart of our journey.
Thanks for your support,
-nathan.
Dont get me wrong but I have seen some providers with reasonable price for 1st year only. So @Nathan could you tell us something about subsequent renewals i.e. will you be continuing with such rates or this price is for 1st year only ?
Hey Anirban
A price freeze applies on all of these packages, so this is good news for you, the rates will remain the same on subsequent renewals 🙂
-nathan.
@Nathan – I will buy right away if you can confirm if the Black Friday offer is having a price freeze feature like I asked above ?
Everything we offer has a price freeze 🙂
-nathan.
any yearly promo for windows vps? also do you monitor the user activity? thnx
Hey wendews,
We haven’t put together some promotions on Windows VPS yet, but please contact us here and let us know what you need 🙂 https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1
-nathan.
Awesome provider! for fast assistance by solving to the my issues.
Thanks Chelito, you’re awesome! Let us know if you ever need anything.
-nathan.
I benchmarked, the average disk access speed was 4.23333 MB/s.
Disk speed may have been improved. (Average I/O: 35.7333 MB/s)
The speed of the network is still very slow at Atlanta as ever (Atlanta, GA, US Coloat 355 KB/s)
Hey kimura,
I just ran a test to an Atlanta test server and the speeds were decent all things considered (LA to Atlanta is across the country).
Could it be that the remote server you’re testing from is saturated? Open a ticket to support, and we’ll be happy to assist.
-nathan.
I have paid for one how long does it take to activate ?
Did you get your vps activated? I have ordered one about 6 hours ago and I still didn’t have received any login credentials..
I also have opened a support ticket…but I still didn’t get any answer about the activation issue.
Hey Sam and Philippe,
Our new nodes are getting deployed today. FedEx unfortunately delayed the shipment of our new nodes by two days without stating any particular reason, which caused us to have a backlog of orders these past couple days. We will however be deploying all of these pending orders, and instant activation will resume as soon as we finish the setup of these new nodes.
I went ahead and refunded you guys for now as I don’t want to keep you waiting, but feel free to re-place your order anytime after today and services will be instantly activated 🙂
If you decide to sign back up, please do send me an e-mail at nathan@nfphosting.com – I will give you guys something extra.
-nathan.
Update: Our new nodes have arrived and are now set up! 🙂
All pending orders activated, and instant activation is available again.’
-nathan.
AVOID at all costs. It’s the worst provider I’ve ever dealt with.
first they didn’t deploy my vps until 48 hrs later, when I asked for a refund they partially refunded me and didn’t get full refund. What a rip off and waste of time.
Avoid at all costs!!!
Hey A.N.,
Who handled your ticket? Please provide me with a ticket ID. Back in October we did run into some provisioning delays as we were waiting on new nodes, but we’re long past that now!
-nathan.
Is the LA data center off the table; I only see Dallas now in checkout.
Hey Groot,
Please check now. LA is in stock.
-nathan.
Great service and an excellent product.
I can’t believe how fast the connection is for this price. Excellent Network peering to Australia/New Zealand/Canada. You can’t beat the price either.
I ended up buying a second VPS. Too good to pass up.
Hey Jude,
First off thank you for taking the time to write this and for being a customer of ours. Believe me, it means a lot!
Yup, our LA location has great network peering to Australia/New Zealand 🙂
-nathan.
TLDR; Good fellars, poor overall performance. (LA Servers)
0) Support: Excellent support, speedy response. Probably the only reason to consider them.
1) Console Login issue: I signed up a month later hoping they would have some of the issues addressed. Console login still connects and disconnects as Diskman had described in his comments. Two days later, I noticed they had removed html5 console access completely from the config page. I guess this is their solution to fixing the problem. Not having access to the console means I can’t mess around with the network/firewall.
2) Disk IO. (Tested on 10/25/17 1:30 PM EST)
3) RAM. (Tested on 10/25/17 1:30 PM EST)
$ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1.0G 39M 960M 24M 24M 929M Swap: 1.0G 96M 927M4) Network – Issue with LA Network: After 1Tbps port speed upgrade/addon, the network speed range from 44Mbps to 100Mbps on average. This is 1/10 the speed of other vps providers. I spend a week with their technical department trying to solve the bandwidth issue to no avail.
Hey AlbertS,
Just checked all of our nodes and everything is running optimally.
Did you open a ticket about this, and if so who handled it? Please let me know a ticket ID if you’re still having issues.
-nathan.
I bought a VPS from them a few weeks ago but haven’t used it much until now.
Performance is abysmal – download speeds to the north-east seem to max out at 200 KBps, even though I’m on a 100Mbit line.
Likewise, doing simple I/O operations take minutes instead of seconds. If this is standard, I would not recommend.
Have the performance issues gotten better?
Hey svenkatesh,
This definitely is not standard, did you open a ticket about this?
We also now offer SSD VPS for those who demand more power. https://portal.nfphosting.com/index.php?rp=/announcements/4/NFP-Hosting-SSD-VPS-Launch.html
-nathan.
Can I run a game server (minecraft) on your 4gb vps?
I picked up one of their SSD VPS promotions from WebHostingTalk http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1683085 and must say it is faster than my Ramnode VPS, which is a hard statement to make as they were setting the bar for quite some time.
Can’t say anything about longevity, but first impression is good.
Hey
Thanks Ismeal, glad you are enjoying your SSD VPS! They’re fast, aren’t they? 🙂
-nathan.
Just renewed for another month, very happy with 4gb vps with nfphosting so far! They aren’t bad.
Hey Joshua
Thanks for being a customer of ours. Happy Holidays!
-nathan.
I submitted a ticket (#693738) about not being able to pay for “Black Friday LEB – 1GB SSD VPS”. I have a Debit MasterCard.
@Usha: Lucky you.
Still can’t get my payment through. How hard can this be to get “Black Friday LEB – 1GB SSD VPS Promotion” even after submitting tickets?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Hi Nathan, I Loved this offer but I am not able to pay through paypal.I am from India and I have added my Visa Card with paypal which works fine when I pay international merchants. But why I am not able to pay on NPF hosting. I have opened a support ticket too (#237965). Can you help me out
Ok Solved. My server id up and running
Hey Usha,
Thanks for the order, and welcome to NFP Hosting. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know
-nathan.
just a heads up guys. although they offer pretty much decent service, but in term of customer service quality, they pretty much not up to the par. they response quite slow, activate your service quite slow and pretty much everything is slow.
i am their customer, username deysmacro and i know hands-in-down how well they response to you there.
i am not saying that their service is bad. i am just saying that their customer service is not up to the par in term of their response to you.
just take a note of this and you guys would know what to expect from them.
thank you and have a nice day.
Thanks for your order and my apologies for any delays in service activation! We were setting up several new nodes in order to keep up with our growth. Due to the holidays, some hardware components were delayed in their arrival. However, everything is now back to instant service activation, and all pending orders have been activated.
Happy Holidays from us to you!
-nathan.
I have purchased, SSD OpenVZ VPS – Black Friday LEB – 1GB SSD VPS Promotion, Order Number: 2578144465, but have still yet to be activated.
I saw from above that it was instant activation.
Please do activate me as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, they are now in manual mode. For everything.
Everything is back to automated setup mode now, we have setup the new nodes 🙂
Thanks
-nathan.
Hey guys
As stated above, my apologies for any delays in service activation. We were setting up several new nodes in order to keep up with our growth. Due to the holidays, some hardware components were delayed in their arrival. However, everything is now back to instant service activation, and all pending orders have been activated.
Happy Holidays from us to you!
-nathan.
unfortunately my requested add-ons are not activated yet until now.
they just enabled it just now.
Great! Thanks deysmacro 🙂
-nathan.
24 hours without activation and without answers. very bad
It looks like your payment was held for review by PayPal hence causing the slight delay in provisioning. I have activated your account.
-nathan.
DNS? Where?
i am not sure when i try to install serverpiolot.io i am getting this error ” Installation failed. Your server’s kernel is too old and is possibly using outdated OpenVZ. ”
Your kernel is quite old version can you tell me how to solve it you support team saying its not possible
http://prntscr.com/ivlue3
I signed up with these guys for the $12 year deal yesterday, 13th May and then decide a day later that I did not want this and requested cancellation. This is based on the words above by Nathan, that there is a 3 day money back guarantee on this deal, “Hi Vijay, we’re extending a 3 day no questions asked money back guarantee on these packages”. I now get an email from a guy Jamie Donati, who says, “In accordance to our terms and conditions, you are not eligible for a refund. Apologies about this!” I feel that I have been SCAMMED! They say one thing on sites like LEB to get the customer, and then ignore what they say when they have your money, in the hope that they can get away with it! Nathan also tells Vijay, “we’re not in the business of taking people’s money if they are not happy with our services.”!!! which seems like a complete JOKE.
No support, no response. Run away from NFP Hosting.
The decision is yours.
I have 4 VPS with them and 1 Reseller (2 VPS provisioned)
Here’s what I can say:
1. Control Panel (Virtualizor) – freaking slow
2. 3 VPS – freaking slow
3. 1 Reseller 2 provisioned VPS – 1 VPS is freaking slow
4. SSD VPS – Good
5. Support – Not that good
Or this is just how the service for a cheap VPS’s or it is just over utilized?
On monday 7.00 am I bought “2GB LEB Exclusive VPS Promotion” plan. Till now I haven’t got access to my VPS (almost 36 hours) . My server has status “Pending”. They do not respond my tickets. Is this normal or this is SCAM?
how long become active at last?
These guys WAY oversell, or just have terrible server performance. Been with them about a year, and I’m lucky if I’ve had a few days in that time where performance was usable.
1) Servers are almost always extremely slow. Loading a simple webpage served from apache or nginx can take a full 5-10 seconds
2) Panel is down, like, always. I’m trying to reboot my slow and unusable server right now, and the panel has just gone 503 Service Unavailable, again. I’ve been waiting 20 minutes for the panel to come back online so I can reboot my server to get it back online, or less slow, hopefully.
3) Support is terrible. They always just want to move me to a new server, which means I have to backup and will lose all my data on the old server. Why not just fix the problem?
Don’t use these guys for any serious work. I’ve lost days, if not weeks, of time on projects I’ve wanted to work on and code simply because the server is always unusable and slow every time I try to use it.
It seems you just get bounced around to whatever server is less oversold when you complain.
I completely agree. I rented a server half a year ago, during which time the server did not normally work for a single day. Absolutely in vain spent money and time.
