GBAbuse Team Did Not Actually Investigate, Sided With a Groomer, Silenced Victims I run a social media site with ~60 active users on my server. Recently, one of the more well-known users on my site was revealed to have been grooming minors and abusing their partner. They were swiftly banned, and the community was informed to break contact with that individual, including anonymous testimony and censored evidence from some of the victims. Unfortunately, that individual filed an abuse complaint to Hivelocity, with links to the posts, claiming harassment despite the posts specifically saying to disconnect from the individual. My belief was that because Hivelocity is considered a white-glove service, they'd thoroughly investigate the abuse complaints and recognize that the abuse reports were made falsely. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Despite providing explanations, the Hivelocity Abuse Team would only reply to me with the simple reply of "Case remains open pending removal of posts." This happened repeatedly over the last month. Any time a survivor would even mention the individual, a new abuse report would go to Hivelocity, and Hivelocity would tell me to take the post down. This is a VERY dangerous precedent to set, and basically makes it an unsafe provider, considering anyone is capable of forcing me to remove content, simply by falsely reporting a post to Hivelocity. +1 star because their tech support is genuinely good. But... I can't trust Hivelocity.

GBI 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.

GBZero 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

GBIncredible 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.

GBHivelocity 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.
