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.

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.

I've gotten several "instant" servers… I've gotten several "instant" servers that are claimed to be provided in 7 minutes. One time they took about 15 minutes. The other times several hours, and two days so far. It's hard to add ssh keys to a batch of servers. You need to do it manually one by one. You also need to add to cart individual servers, even if they are in fact the same server, or the same but in a different location, due to constraints in the UI that say there are no more available. Overall the process of requesting a server to be provisioned is very long both before and after purchase, and if you make a mistake and need to get a server refunded or reloaded, that also takes a long process of back and forth, chats, and paperwork. It's also impossible to set a single password for a batch of servers, which also makes it much harder to automate the process of adding the ssh keys on your end. Overall, adequate for a small number of servers if you're not in a rush (1-3). Provisory update: they have a great attitude in trying to solve things despite many things not "just working" at the first attempt and requiring manual checks and processes. Again I stress the very positive attitude but we agreed a certain number of servers deployed by today, paid for it, and so far at end of day I have gotten about a third of them and an "I don’t know that we have any capacity left. Will of course refund whatever we can’t provide." I've been a difficult user but if they make you pay and can't rely on availability quoted and committed two days ago it's obviously a problem.

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.

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.
