Summary
I found this provider when i was just walking around in WHT, they offered XEN VPS and i decide to try them. First impression was fraud order (as usual) because of my country, VPS didn’t want to start and i couldn’t connect to my VPS, but the problem gone after i reboot the VPS. For the speed access it is quite good, i have no problem accessing the box from my country, but maybe the speed cannot achieve to the maximum, take a look at the speed test using 1Gbit port from US. Now about their box power, 8 shared CPU with average load 0.1, disk I/O test is also nice, 85MB/s on average. Check again the benchmark score, 1200 for VPS is great. About their support, i never had a big problem with them, only once and that was a resolution problem, i opened a ticket and they respond in less than 4 hours, what do you think about that? Fast enough or slow enough? :p So for the score, 7.5 from 10 points is fair for them.
