Zero downtime While support was great, the thing that stood out was what did not happen. No downtime, no network issues, no problems. Coupled with predictable pricing (looking at you AWS/Azure/Google Cloud) I can highly recommend Hivelocity

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.

Love u guys Love u guys, been your customer for about 2 years.. nothing to complain, from negotiating deals to shutting down our services due to Covid.. support is amazing as well, even after services down you helped us to get it up to restore some files we thought we lost.. I appreciate that big time.. Rafael Fernandes

Maybe Customer Service Isn't Dead In a world where customer service is dead, Hivelocity really stands out. Their technicians are fast, knowledgeable, and friendly. They don't throw the ball back over the wall; instead, they work with you to find a resolution. I've been with Hivelocity for over a decade and couldn't be happier.

Having 7x24 access to "live" tech… Having 7x24 access to "live" tech support in the United States is worth it's weight in gold. When you factor in HiVelocity's very competitive pricing - they're hard if not impossible to beat. Because of really bad tech support with another firm, I've recently made the decision to use HiVelocity for ALL my dedicated server needs.
