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.

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.

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.

Incredible tech support My business sites were down (not because of Hivelocity) and everyone of their support personnel helped me with the issue until it was resolved. It was probably over 10 hours of phone calls and emails. Douglas especially was a godsend. He got the other company on a 3 way call and wouldn't quit until the problem was resolved. So grateful for their expertise, patience and professionalism.

Worst customer service. IPs are cheap but worst customer service. Multiple issues with upgrades and server changes with things they don't allow us to do like with IPs edits. They don't read tickets or replies on tickets, mostly skim over them resulting in having to repeat multiple times. Messages to upper management who told be to reach out to them if we had another issue was also filtered and/ or ignored.
