SurviveDigg.com - Anyone used it before?

    I just came across survivedigg.com. It's a pretty interesting concept I believe but I am now wondering who here has been with them and what have their experiences been like? Did they live up to their words of the survival of digg and their uptime as well? If one of their clients could give me their feedback, it would be very much appreciated :D

    I am searching for a new host for a heavy traffic website of mine and not sure whether to get a VPS or to go with this company.

    Many thanks in advanced.

    I'd have to say it's probably just a gimmick. I host my own sites and have survived the 'digg effect' multiple times. Just good marketing.

    Yeah, I'm quite skeptical about the hosting since their price and features seems too good to be true..

    I also just did more research and found that the sites they list as their "clients" are actually owned by the owners of Brius, the parent company of SurviveDigg. And so far I have not found any positive reviews about the SurviveDigg...

    Not that I should be helping competitors but if you search webhostingtalk.com they don't seem to have any negative comments. If there are any t have they'll probably be there.

    Haven't heard any bad comments about them, but how much space do you think you would be needing?

    I don't need much disk space - 10Gb is more than sufficient. I would require however 500GB-750GB/month bandwidth and some RAM able to handle at peak hours a couple of unique hits per second consistantly for a couple of hours. My site is fully dynamic too.
