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.

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.

Game server hardware. We host our game server network on Hivelocity's bare metal hardware. We have used a few different providers and have never had more consistent performance than we do now. They are quick to respond to requests with their on-site techs.

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.
