The website is very to the point. Their staff is very friendly and co-operative (which you would know if you ordered from em). You are either a troll or a competing company's dog.

As for attitude, from what you said its shown that you never used their service before. Their attitude is ok and I never see them rude to me and my other friends who also they customer of them. While you said that they are clueless? A clueless host will not be able to survive that long. And they are already in VPS business for quite some time. I am on their managed service. I've been requested them to setup a HE ipv6 tunnel, and they able to set it up in very short time for me. If they are clueless, how can they able to setup this in so short time? I've been with other small host before, using managed service too, but the other host screwed up my VPS while they are trying to setup the ipv6 tunnel and they only informed me after 2 days that they unable to complete the setup. So, saying that this host is clueless is something not logic. I do not think the design of the website reflects the hosting company quality.

I don't see they still selling this tiny plan anymore. About automating, do you know how many fraud purchase can be happen if everything just leave it automated?

What about people who want to test a fresh install of a system they intend to replicate for load-balanced nodes? Having a fresh system is the entire point of a staging/testing server and I would have thought that the small-scale VPS market consists of many such people. It's not for "clients who really know what they are doing" at all is it? It's because you are too useless to automate it and too short-sighted to see the big picture.

Some detective work goes a long way my friend. Your entire VPS and Dedicated server lines are exact carbon copies of Burst.Net offerings. Even the options to configure the your boxes are exact (apart from the blown up prices). E.g the list of OS images. Also the TOS section, another copy of Burst.Net's TOS. http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4619/cssquad.jpg You could have at least changed that (or are you not allowed to under Burst.net reseller terms?), or setup SSL properly on your insecure ordering page. Now I must apologize beforehand if I'm wrong and your 2 week old company coincidently stock exactly the same hardware lineup as Burst.Net. Please feel free to debunk my claims, say hooking up LEB with one of your Core i7 servers for a day or two to test for IP and the sort :) Interesting. Some detective work goes a long way my friend.

Example, Acer is selling a desktop with the spec Intel Core2Duo with 1GB RAM & 160GB Hard Disk, HP also do sell a desktop with the spec Intel Core2Duo with 1GB RAM & 160GB Hard Disk. Does this mean HP is reselling Acer desktop? @Matt,

Rebuilding a vps is like click click done or executing 1 shell command. It's not like installing a physical server. @drmike why would you need a tech to do that?

Its ridiculous that they actually charge more than what Burst is offering when I glanced through their regular VPS pricing.

I forget what I have to pay for my datacenter to do it on one of my servers but I know it's a lot more than 20 bucks.

I truly think you have really good deals and a few interest me. However, when I weigh cost/benefit and factor in ever needing to rebuild (we all make mistakes...I am sure we have all nuked a server or two) I am drawn toward paying a few extra bucks per month to a provider who will let me rebuild if the need arises. Keep on keepin' on...and let us know if you decide to roll at least minimal rebuilds into your plans! :-D @cs squad:

I understand where you are coming from, however, it would be nice to know I can rebuild if needed (and I certainly know what I am doing). Why not limit rebuilds to every certain amount of days (30-60?)? Just an idea. @cs squad The price just sort of stood out at me as being outrageous.

Gotta admit I came up when mainframes were still around and that's what I'm used to.
