    www.surfspeedy.com is unbelievable. They shut down my VPS without notice and are not answering to support tickets. Can you believe that ??? I did not host any illegal stuff or anything of course, only normal sites. And they don`t even answer me.

    There are a few reasons that you should keep away from surfspeedy.com.

    1. Obviously surfspeedy.com is crap.
    2. surfspeedy speed is crap, I suspect they oversell.
    3. surfspeedy support is crap, a lot of talk, talk, talk, no action.
    4. surfspeedy techs are crap that cannot even set up awstats correct.

    I should have known this, they get bad reviews everywhere, but they was very sweet talking when I signed up.

    Now I am looking for another managed VPS of course. What is the biggest companies that rent out managed VPS ? I will just use the big and old companies from now. I rather pay a bit more. Please advice. I can even consider a dedicated if it is on a solid company that have very good reputation.

    "login" well i have some conversations with you on my thread left away. Now listen "surfspeedy" is nothing more than a junk , their services go down and will wake after a decade , lol . Believe me i used them a time and they are just opposite of their name , they simply sure oversell and datatcenter is always out of power cut. you can get reviews from surfspeedy from freewebspace.net and webhostingtalk.com as they are simply useless.

    If you are thinking to buy a vps , i suggest - www.liquidweb.com managed vps with very fast and world's most best support.
    But their demerit is they cost a lot if you will order unmetered bandwidth.

    On the other hand , I can give you a very fast vps with 4 months instant money back guarantee.

    Spec - 50gb hdd.
    1gb ram
    100mbit line
    unmeterd bandwidth
    centos/fedora core
    cpanel/whm/fantastico/rvskin

    All for - $50/month.

    No crap. SurfSpeedy has been the worst host for years...I tried them like 2 or 3 years ago and my sites were always down with their shared hosting. They oversell way too much and their servers and connection speeds are ass.

    Someone needs to get them shut down.

    Hi pappybro. At least we agree in one thing, the surfspeedy issue.
    I have to say no thanks to your offer. I am only going with the big, older, recommended companies from now on.

    Login, Liquidweb is really good and most probably one of the best high end vps and dedicated server provider. You also can go with some other vps providers like these:

    http://www.powervps.com (I have used them, their support is grand, super fast and efficient support with quality vps)
    http://www.fdcservers.net (If you are looking for Unmetered vps with loads of Ips then you might go with FDC)
    http://www.liquidweb.com (High end vps with Quality support, I have used them too, thier support is same and fast as powervps)
    http://www.solarvps.com (They are reliable, will not go away with your money :) , but they are not comparable with Powervps, liquidweb or FDC, but reliable)

    There are some more vps company to choose like smokyhost, knownhost, a2b2 (at low price a2b2 is quite good, currently i have a UK vps with them)

    Good Luck this time. :)

    Liquidweb doesn't support proxies :)

    If you are interested in proxy vps then i think you should choose Powervps or FDCServers. They are good for proxy vps, they have no restriction in thier TOS about proxies.

    FDCServers have a couple to many negative reviews around. Even more than surfspeedy.com.

    they are selling vps at $20... that is very budget.
    most supprise they shut you down.

    for vps.. i recommend lunarpages.
    for managed service, just pay extra $10 per month. optional.
