Hello DigitalPoint members and guests alike! I am here today to unveil to you a new company, a unique company. WebOutLOUD is a company founded by two individuals for the sole purpose of creating a host that is reliable and professional, making sure you get your moneys worth. Here at WebOutLOUD, our VPS nodes are quite powerful pieces of hardware that have proved their performance with multiple tests, including the Unix benchmark test. One key thing that sets us apart from many, many VPS hosts.. we do not oversell our resources. Our prices may be a bit higher than you'd find elsewhere, but in the end you get what you pay for -- and with us, you get exactly that, nothing short of it. We make use of SingleHop's incredible Elk Grove Village, IL and Chicago, IL datacenters, and we feel we're in excellent hands. Alright, so you're probably wondering just how much more expensive we are than the norm, so here's the information you seek (plans); VPS #1 Operating System: Linux 24/7 Support RAM: 512MB HDD: 50GB Bandwidth: 250GB (100Mbit port) IPs: 1 Geographic Server Location: Singlehop's Elk Grove Village, IL and Chicago, IL facilities Virtualization Technology: OpenVZ with SolusVM for administration Setup Time: 2-4 hours, usually quicker; automated provisioning once order is accepted DNS management: Provided free of charge Price: $19.95 / [Order] VPS #2 Operating System: Linux 24/7 Support RAM: 1024MB (1GB) HDD: 100GB Bandwidth: 350GB (100Mbit port) IPs: 1 Geographic Server Location: Singlehop's Elk Grove Village, IL and Chicago, IL facilities Virtualization Technology: OpenVZ with SolusVM for administration Setup Time: 2-4 hours, usually quicker; automated provisioning once order is accepted DNS management: Provided free of charge Price: $29.95 / [Order] Custom VPS Operating System: Linux 24/7 Support RAM: ???

Note: All services are managed, which means you have the option of doing things all on your own, or letting us handle some of the rougher stuff. Also, is anyone having any issues with viewing the site? It would seem that Internet Explorer has some issues rendering it.. but what else is new? :\
DO NOT USE WEBOUTLOUD!!! This company promised me that they would never format my machine without first calling and talking to me. When I signed up for their server they assured me they had a note on my account stating such, this is why I went with them due to a huge screw up from my last host I'd been with for several years that ended up causing my machine to be formatted. Now today I wake up to find my machine is now formatted, never got a phone call. My payment was 5 days late, I had some issues with the credit card tied to my paypal account which is the only payment method they accept, and they don't want any paypal echecks as I was told last month. Since it was a holiday weekend I waited until the banks were open today to get it fixed and make my payment. Now payment is made, I get an email saying sorry but you were a few days late so we formatted the machine, sorry bout your luck, even though they were supposed to call me if they were going to do this which they never did. On top of that they tell me that they're keeping my $208 payment I made today to pay for the server I used and didn't pay for lol, $208 for 5 days of service? REALLY?!? This company promises a lot and delivers little, they lie to get your business then leave you hangin and wipe out all of your data. So now I have down time which means loss of income until I get a new server up and running somewhere else, any work I did recently that hadn't been backed up yet is gone forever. Horrible company in my opinion, stay far away from them.
**NOTE** I received an apology from Chris today and my payment for June was refunded. However my databases and files are still gone, if they can recover those I'll change my review but unfortunately I'm guessing that will be impossible to do from a formatted machine.
