Is servage.net a good host?

Im currently hosting a couple of sites on Dreamhost, but I'm thinking of switching to servage.net. anybody care to share their good or bad experiences with them?

Cheers

Bumped......

 

Both are oversellers..

I personally won't go to both of them. In that matter (even with a bit of overselling), hostgator is really good.

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

there not too bad but they oversell

 

i agree with u

 

i am on servage hosting right now and im only using it because i refered some people to get a couple free months hosting. i ahve to say that their customer support is terrible. this is what im talking about:

it goes from most recent to least recent. you should read from the bottom up.

Hello Fraser,

Sorry for the late answer.

The database have been imported from the command line.

Because of the size of the database it might run slow and can be difficult to backup. For better performance it is recommended to reduce the number of rows.

Please mind it also against our terms to have proxies. Not that you have now, but i just saw your domain names.


Kind regards,
Allan, Servage Hosting

Hello Fraser,

I am very sorry about the time you must wait, but the ticket hat not been forwarded currectly.
But to import the database I must know in which database the file has tio be imported.
(in the .sql file no use XYZ is used) and the database lyrics you mention in this ticket dont exists in your account.


Kind regards,

Hello Fraser,

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now able to import large .sql files via the online file manager. Kindly first unzip your file and then a new link appear next to the file name: "import datbase".

When selecting the link you can select to which database you want the file imported to.

If you have problems importing the file you can upload it as SQL file and ask us to import it for you.

Hope this helps you

Kind regards,
Jenny, Servage Hosting

Yes, it's good. One of my friend has a hosting there

 

if you don't need a database then servage it's good, but when it cames to databases....my vbulletin forum was always down due to database problems...and with problems i mean too many conections.

 

i also had problems with people downloading software they bought from me when i hosted the downloads on servage. i ended up buying hosting from godaddy and hosted all the software downloads on godaddy because servage was so terrible.

 

My understanding is that their database server in on a different server than the web server and due to problems with both, 1 may be down and the other up, which can lead to some strange issues.

Older reviews for them were quite good, but more recently things are not looking so good.

I have no directly experience with them, but personally I would look elsewhere.

 

ive had some issues with php script there, otherwise its decent enough, i run an imagehosting site with them.

 

sorry for my late reply, I don't know if you already purchased other hosting.
I'm hosted with servage.net; and contrary to what was said above maybe, I'm quite happy with servage. Of course, they are overselling, but they are doing good, and uptime is great (in europe).
I didn't used support much, but when I used it, it was good, quick and friendly

 

I always use servage, but not reccomended for large files. such as 400 mb cliients etc they will get stuck ..when downloading. else for forums very nice

 

mblibs, you obvioiusly cant access as root when you use the script, learn what youre doing before bashing support

 

Servage sucks. Good for small site...too worse for big sites. Servage has per hour bandwith restriction...that really sucks.....they r not giving wat they r showing. I was there..left with bitter experience. I was fade up with daily over load message. Host gatoor is best of the lot.

 

moving out from dreamhost??

the new host seem like bit risky to move to.
for that price range you can get a better hosting, eg. bluehost. where you get money back guarantee, 300GB, and live chat support help. and the remaining features seem like same.

for more budget, think hostmonster, 5.95/mth (if signup 2 year)

good luck

 

I have used servage for over 2 years.

Based on the host I had before it works.

Based on 3rd party uptime check I average 98-100% uptime based on their tests.

I do like the fact that you will get a response in about an hour rather than 24 hr of my old host.

 

Here is a review that makes me think twice about Servage.

The problem seems centered about the customer using a lot of the advertised disk space. Read it for yourself though.

 

I Am Hostin Few Site With Them...

And They Always Respond Qucik If I Submit Support Ticket

average 98-100% uptime

Database Is Runnin on separate server ..which make my forum load fast
