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.

Fantastic service Fantastic service. I've been with Hivelocity for about 8 years now. Being a novice, they are superb getting me through lots of issues I've faced over the years. From migration to simple DNS issues I had faced, their support to billings everything has been utter bliss. I don't think I'll be switching anytime in the future, they have gotten a customer for life.

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.

Eli from NY is a great resource We've been a colocation customer for about a year now. I wanted to come here to praise one specific employee. Eli from Hivelocity's NY dc is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He genuinely cares about our experience, always wants to help us with problems, and provides excellent advice in all situations we have needed it. I don't usually write reviews but I had to come here to talk about him. He has made our Hivelocity experience great and I really appreciate him for it.
