Review of GTHost Servers -- Part II

GTHost logo

Hello again! Welcome to Part II of our Low End Box Review of well known Low End provider GTHost. GTHost recently asked Low End Box for a review, and we are happy to oblige. As previously reported in Part I, we successfully installed multiple servers in multiple locations with great results! This Part II of our review provides

  • more information on our second test server,
  • buying multiple servers simultaneously,
  • overall impressions, and
  • a special offer from GTHost for our Low End Box readers.

More On Our Second Test Server

In Part I we promised more details on the purchase of our second test server. We noted that the price of this server was $1 below the $125 maximum dedicated server maximum price allowed on Low End Talk.

Here is the price listing on GTHost.com as we saw it when the second test server was purchased.

GTHost Server Price List

We bought the server at $124 and added two additional IP addresses at $2.00 per month each:

Here’s the server as it appeared in the GTHost Control Panel after installation:

Buying Multiple Servers Simultaneously

One of the great features of the GTHost Control Panel is that we can buy and install multiple servers simultaneously. This works even with different operating systems being installed simultaneously on different servers. Here is an example using two servers, one with Rocky Linux and one with Debian. We select and configure the servers, and then both are installed simultaneously. The install time for Rocky was 14 minutes, and the install time for Debian was 12 minutes.

Overall Impressions

Big advantages of GTHost include their many locations throughout the United States, Europe, and Great Britain. Another big advantage demonstrated by our testing is the versatility and comprehensiveness of GTHost’s Control Panel. As we saw, customers quickly can get complete hardware, network speed, and location information together with pricing. GTHost is maintaining its Control Panel, so new operating systems like Rocky and current versions like Jammy are available. GTHost can do fast installs on multiple servers simultaneously!

Special Offer

Our cheap, special offer for this Review is available on GTHost’s Current Sales and Promotions page. That’s how our first test server configuration initially was suggested.

GTHost also has provided a promo code for 30% OFF for the 1st month on any GTHost server, valid till 30 Sep 2022. Promo Code: LET22-30

  2. Wanna add some points regrading the service. GTHost web servers are fast and stable and I have no issues with viruses and malwares unlike before at my previous web host. Before you spend your hard earned money elsewhere, give them a try. I highly recommend this them. They keep upgrading accounts for free.

  3. I’ve never had a problem with downtime because it always seems to be up. Besides, the prices are very reasonable. No doubt, GTHost web host is a good and better than the best, according to me. Because I have 3 different hosting server accounts in different web hosts. I’m fully satisfied and will definitely transfer all my sites to this web host.

    I’ve been with services who try to give you the run-around or nickle-and-dime you, by trying to sell you more than you need. Pleased with GTHost Canada dedicated hosting service. Top support who answer questions promptly and actually have the correct answers and if they don’t, they find the correct answer.

    It was very swift and with no hassle. I did recommend GTHost to a couple of my friends and would recommend it to all. When I contact support the reaction time is awesome and the way these people are willing to work with/for you is amazing.

    I’ve recommended GTHost web hosting solutions to lots of my friends. Turned out it was, in fact, none of the above: the servers are lightning fast, you get excellent database support, quick and easy shell access, plenty of Perl modules installed, good to high bandwidth, and a fabulous uptime. I am fully satisfied.

    My experience dealing with GTHost web host has been great. Support rocks. If you know how to do basic things in Linux, their machines are the BEST. Every conversation was pleasant as they always explain everything.

    Good experience with GTHost US dedicated hosting! Network uptime has been nothing but the best and definitely lives up to their 99.9% uptime guarantee. Recommended. I find the longer I am with them the more I enjoy their hosting especially seeing how a few of my buddies are always complaining about the place hosted with.

  12. Been with GTHost Amsterdam instant server hosting for nearly 3 months, what can i say, they are simply unbelievable. The control panel seemed a little daunting and techie at first, but it is fine when you get used to it. To me, the hosting experience with GTHost is more personal and that extra level of service is easily worth the few extra bucks.

    Today it is hard to find companies that deliver what they say they will, much less more than they say. I am pleased with GTHost hosting, it is pain free, well supported, the reps are polite and professional. I would recommend the dedicated hosting to anyone needing a very good host, at a fair price.

    Good job, GTHost team. I can always contact their tech support team even at midnight – they are always ready to help and solve any trouble I may experience. I use them for 5 different sites on one account and everyone of them run flawlessly. If your looking for reliable low cost hosting for your site.

    The only reason I have contacted GTHost support is due to questions about setting things up. They have super fast, reliable servers; flexible attitude toward hosting. Excellent, responsive support; extremely reasonable pricing. I like this host.

    They provide a great number of tools for you to implement on your websites through the vesta (Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, OpenCar). All of them are free. I have not tried support over the phone yet but chat and tickets were always responded in a timely manner. You know, guys, it makes me feel confident that my website is in good and reliable hands!

    As a non-profit, public service organization with no budget, a basic instant server hosting service is a great thing. We needed a method of electronic data distribution and, of course, a web page is the best way to go. For our needs, GTHost has been a real lifesaver in that we can use the tools to easily edit pages. In addition, PHP scripting is an excellent feature.
