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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe Customer Service Isn't Dead In a world where customer service is dead, Hivelocity really stands out. Their technicians are fast, knowledgeable, and friendly. They don't throw the ball back over the wall; instead, they work with you to find a resolution. I've been with Hivelocity for over a decade and couldn't be happier.
