VPSLand Sucks Stay Away
Review Score: 4
Date: Added: 1196196098
In short, VPSLand sucks. Their service is down for hours at a time. Mine was down for 5 days at one point. Also, their back-ups suck. Actually, good luck getting a back-up out of them because they can't provide them when you ask.
Their support sucks. No phone = stay away.
You will have better luck paying the kid next door to host your server out of his parent's garage.

VPSLAND - Horrible
Review Score: 3
Date: Added: 1202074752
When our company wanted to downsize on cost we went with a VPS and chose VPSLAND.com We had a multitude of issues right off the bat. The first being email - all email sent out for their network/our IP with them would end up in junk mail/spam folders. When we tried to explain to them it is their end and our configuration is correct (and unchanged since migrating from a dedicated box) they blamed our zone files and then when we proved it was not that, they blamed the major ISP\'s for the block and pretty much said they would look into it; it took them 3 months to get back to us saying it was our exim configuration which was not the case. The second issue was downtime, they have the worst uptime and latency. If our server was not experiencing 50% packet loss or high pings, then it was down. The funny thing is, is that whenever it went down they had to reboot our VPS to get it back online, seems they do not understand how to run their system. During down time, even opening a ticket with a \"Critical\" rating left a 6 hour time span before anyone would get back to you. Their response, uptime, latency, and support is of the worst in the hosting industry. My suggestion is to stay clear away from them unless you want to destroy any positive reputation you may have as a company, even as we speak they have 30% packet loss. The end result for us was we moved our operations to a data center in Florida, ironically email is working fine for our customers and latency is perfect, right where it was before we tried the VPSLAND.com service - no change in our configuration.

It's true that VPS land can give ya double ram. Sure is !! But they don't let you space enough to the kernel memory area (nonPaged) to run a simple IIS service !!! It's patetic ! check my e-mails transcriptions !!!
(http.sys run on the kernel memory area and need at least 20mb to run.O therwise IIS refuses to accept incomings)

Good For Me

hey, reading your reviews i am certain you have the wrong people. i myself have been with VPSLAND for some time, my ping is no loss and the service is very fast and efficient, support requests get a personal response in about 5 minutes, 10 minutes for a more technical request and the remote desktop to the server it as good as using my own pc. after messing up my own server i ask for support to reinstall plesk, sure enough support totally reinstalled it for me and my server was working perfectly, i havent yet been able to fault the service the have offered me, the support staff are friendly, there isnt a phone number you can call, but with online support and the very fast ticket system who needs that,i am currently running 6 websites from the server, and every one is running perfectly, emails, dns, the works. even down to php, and mysql all running without any hickups and so far i have had 100% uptime from the server. The prices are really good, and they are there own business not a reseller of hardware from a larger company which makes there service etc have full access to everything they need. I have already recommended this company to many friends who are soon to be purchasing there own vps after seing mine and the control panels which they offer has impressed a lot of people. The software running is Parrallels and the control panel allows reboots, ending of services, changing startup programs etc and just gives that finishing touch to the already perfect setup they give you.
when you first purchase you will get your VPS soon after mine was around 25 mins which is what i expected as a copy of the OS would need to be made for me along with many other settings, so i was really impressed with how fast my websites were online.
If you are going to go with this company before listening to all the reviews on this page just take the time to visit the website and check them out for yourself. they are 100 times better than you guys are giving credit for.
thanks VPS Land for being the perfect host for me, especially after using many others and finding something wrong, VPS LAND have proved they are the best in the business at least to me and my customers.
