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.

Top notch Customer Service Top notch Customer Service. Stellar bandwidth performance. Active social media. In the rare event that there is a network issue (saw one over two years), these guys and gals are quick to keep you updated as to what's going on and what's to be expected.

Abuse Team Did Not Actually Investigate, Sided With a Groomer, Silenced Victims I run a social media site with ~60 active users on my server. Recently, one of the more well-known users on my site was revealed to have been grooming minors and abusing their partner. They were swiftly banned, and the community was informed to break contact with that individual, including anonymous testimony and censored evidence from some of the victims. Unfortunately, that individual filed an abuse complaint to Hivelocity, with links to the posts, claiming harassment despite the posts specifically saying to disconnect from the individual. My belief was that because Hivelocity is considered a white-glove service, they'd thoroughly investigate the abuse complaints and recognize that the abuse reports were made falsely. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Despite providing explanations, the Hivelocity Abuse Team would only reply to me with the simple reply of "Case remains open pending removal of posts." This happened repeatedly over the last month. Any time a survivor would even mention the individual, a new abuse report would go to Hivelocity, and Hivelocity would tell me to take the post down. This is a VERY dangerous precedent to set, and basically makes it an unsafe provider, considering anyone is capable of forcing me to remove content, simply by falsely reporting a post to Hivelocity. +1 star because their tech support is genuinely good. But... I can't trust Hivelocity.

Excellent Service at a Great Price Excellent Service at a Great Price I can't speak more highly about the tech support. This is the key differentiator between hosting companies in my opinion. Without exception, they have in-depth knowledge and diagnose and solve issues that come up quickly. On top of that, they are on-site so they can pop over to check the hardware anytime. Server and networks are high-speed and well-maintained, and all this for a great price.

A Dozen+ Years and a Dozen+ Servers Can't Be Wrong I've been with Hivelocity for more than a decade. I've had several servers of my own, plus I've recommended to many clients, and none of us has ever had any issues. The sales team and support team have been consistently the best in the industry....and I've been in this industry for around 30 years! I don't know how to recommend them any higher, but I would if I could. Thanks Hivelocity for always delivering above and beyond expectations.
