Hmm... I wonder how you were rude... Since when do you have the ability to say when someone is not welcome here? is that not for the admin of this website alone? I actually say drmike is very welcome here. His comments have been helpful, unlike you Adam. Every comment you post here makes me rethink hosting with you. To me, HostLatch is a good host. Mostly good speeds, I haven't had too many issues. Sure you wont let me get some quick support on the live chat, but thats fine. Are you going to tell me I'm not welcome to use your server anymore now for taking drmike's side? @Adam “you’re no longer welcome here, drmike”, “I’m sorry I do not see how I was rude”.

We already refunded you, so please officially part ways and find a new provider, you're no longer welcome here, drmike.

I live in a 60 year old apartment complex that doesn't have modern copper telephone lines nor cable. If you had taken the time to check on those IP addresses or even bothered to ask, you would have noted that all of them resolved to Charlotte, NC which is where I live. 2) You have been very rude towards me. Did you even bother to read what you <a href="http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/hostlatch-4-46-openvz-vps-with-512mb/#comment-2415" rel="nofollow">wrote</a>? You have shown a very clear lack of the basic ability to understand what folks have asked you on a number of occasions. A single search of DP shows this along with many many clients complaining about you and your companies extreme lack of even basic politeness. Just to clarify, the support ticket I mentioned asked about his company's policy to host my Video download sites. An example of this is located here: http://youtube.tdjc.be I had asked because of their policy of no warez hosting which I can understand. The response I got back said that their clients were unable to host any videos, only embed, which had nothing to do with the question I had asked. I has even provided a link to the example site. I seriously doubt Adam had even taken the time to look at the site example that I had included. Clearly this is a host to stay away from. 1) Adam, I change my IP address because I use a number of the local coffee shops (ie Bruegger’s and Caribou Coffee) and libraries for internet access.

It works like a charm, and I've gotten over 9 MB/s when wget'ing a speed test file. I use Kloxo atm, and it works good. I wish that HostLatch offered cPanel though. Unlike my VPS at FSCKVPS, SSH replys super quickly without any lag. This is the best budget VPS I've ever experienced. My support tickets have been answered in minutes.

You may note that at no time a question was asked in my comment, to you or anyone else. I was reporting an issue about a host. I believe feedback about hosts, both positive and negative, is what these comments are for. And, yes, I'm familiar with how to login to my VPS. I'm going to go ahead and cancel my account with you. Between your response here and to the support ticket I raised last night, it's pretty clear your company is not what I need. Um, I wasn’t using the forums here as a support device.

I never could understand why HyperVM gives links to Kloso without it being installed. Building that now. Clean IP address within limestonenetworks.com network. Gotta admit that <a href="http://www.malwareurl.com/listing.php?as=AS46475" rel="nofollow">this</a> concerns me a bit though. And yes, I realize that is probably not connected with hostlatch.

It took them just a few hours to send me the login detail after I had made the payment. My vps is located in GNAX in Atlanta GA, according to WHOIS. My vps was CentOS when I logged in for the first time, but I soon rebuilt it to Debian 5.0. The time zone after rebuild is MSK. I can change the time zone within HyperVM after I issued "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade." Usually I expect a newly built vps to have no daemon except sshd running, but HostLatch's OS template has four more daemons. They were sendmail, apache2, bind, and xinetd, which I didn't need. It took me some time to get rid of them. I can't say anything about its reliability, as I just got it yesterday. But so far my vps is responsive, and network speed is good, too.

They seem a lot faster than my other VPS's (some of which cost a lot more). Customer service has been good, I used their live support a few times and got fast answers and good help. I tried to find out how much extra bandwidth will cost me though and they wouldn't tell me a price. They said they will work it out at the time according to my budget. I want a fixed price though (or at least an estimate). When I said my old host charged $0.04/GB they said they will charge $0.05/GB and asked if that is ok. I downloaded a test file from somewhere onto my HostLatch VPS and I use it for testing the connection speed. I do this by logging into my VPS and a web hosting account I have with another host, both by SSH. Then I use wget to download the test file from one server to the other, then back the other way. I usually get around 7-9MB/sec each way. @alea they have been great. They seem a lot faster than my other VPS’s (some of which cost a lot more).
