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.

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.

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.

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

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.
