Lack of DDoS Protection Over the years, what was previously a 5-star service has degraded into a rather unhealthy and frankly appalling partnership. Hivelocity currently hosts around five machines, making up around 5% of our infrastructure overall. Of the numerous DCs we have worked with over the years, they have put in place more null routes on those 5 machines in one night, than we have received over a 7-year period across the other 95% of our infrastructure. Their DDOS 'mitigation', even at the paid level isn't mitigation, but instead a direct null of the IP address. There appears to be no filtering as part of the paid service. Support appears to have no understanding of how DDOS attacks work, and simply null route an IP address until an attack subsides - that doesn't feel particularly effective, given we have been forced into an outage due to their lack of protection for 5 hours so far this morning. Appalling service overall.

I have a small VPS server but they… I have a small VPS server but they treat me like an Enterprise with 20 dedicated servers. Their VPS service is somewhat new as they've specialized in colo or dedicated so there have been a couple of hiccups but they've listened to me with their brains engaged, and responded from knowledge (and not a script) and gave me either good advice, resolved the issue, and or pointed me to good documentation for self service. I truly hope they don't change. (other than to get a few new services up and running like the cloud server) Very Very happy.

My best experience with servers In the last 6 years I used the services of Amazon Cloud, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OVH, RamNode, Digital Ocean, Vultr, TurnKeyInternet, Velia, and another one so cheap run by 1 guy which I don't remember. Even if I can say those services were good with a good support team, I must say Hivelocity gave me the best experience, with an extremely FAST an useful support. I'm not a IT professional but honestly I prefer to do everything by myself, and with their services I could go from an empty drive to a custom compiled kernel/image on a bare metal machine "overclocked" in the BIOS with recent Intel CPU. No downtime, at least the machine was up for months and I logged in 2/3 times a day and I never had any problem. And what made the difference is the PRICE for the VALUE. One simple Hivelocity bare metal server did the job of 23 Digital Ocean's VPS I was using when I chose to move.

Hivelocity continues to impress I've had servers with Hivelocity for nearly 5 years now. In that time I've yet to experience a single network drop. We've had a few instances of hardware failing, however the support team is always on top of it quickly and usually has a resolution in less than an hour. I had a problem with a Linux server that I just couldn't solve. I contacted support and they were able to identify the problem. Resolve it and get my services back online with little downtime. This really saved us from a world of trouble. So far hosting with HV has been a great call.

Hivelocity I've been utilizing Hivelocity's services for several months now, and i must say, i have nothing but positive feedback. Their servers are reliable and their API is incredibly useful. However, what truly sets this company apart is their exceptional customer care and support team. Their representatives are not only kind but also highly professional.
