I've kinda lost track of who I'm responding to...did you just reply to this to get the topic back in the loop, Mike? I didn't see any comments by you below. I assume that means you're just re-asking the question does anyone have any experience with KickAssVPS.com.
If so, I've had about 9 months experience with them now and not a single problem at all...not billing issues, no server downtime (that wasn't announced...and a good thing is that when a planned upgrade didn't go smoothly, instead of continuing to keep the system down while they tried to work out the issue, the downgraded and got the system back up immediately), no server problems at all. Nice support staff. Worked with me to get a special configuration of services I wanted included and some I didn't want taken out of the configuration...and adjust the price accordingly to make it a good deal. Check out their offerings and don't hesitate to request changes to the "stock" configurations. Also, they were running a 2GB Mem special for the price of one when I got my server, which helps. But I've never had any slow server issues. And except for initial software setup and configuration, I've never even had to reboot the server! Smooth as silk. Can't recommend them highly enough! I have no vested interest, just a very satisfied customer. I tried at least two other companies before trying KickAssVPS.com and have never looked back. As far as I remember, with remoting into the server: - Win 2003 Server - Running MySQL 5 - ColdFusion 8 - Plesk was part of the pack, but I don't allow customer access to the server, so I had it uninstalled - MSSQL is available, but I don't use it I can't think of anything else, but I'm completely satisfied. Feel free to ask about more specifics if you need them. Rick PS - and from Jochems remarks awhile back, you do just get a "slice" of a quad-core Pentium, but that beats a "slice" of a Pentium 4! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Aushana [mailto:mi...@madwebdesigns.ca] > Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 12:43 PM > To: cf-talk > Subject: Re: Anybody have exerience with KickAssVPS.com? > > > >Rick Faircloth wrote: > >> Hmmm... let me look at ServerPronto's site... > >> > >> - Intel Pentium 4, 3 GHz (as opposed to a Quad Core Pentium) > > > >You don't get a quad core pentium, you get a time-slice off a quad > core > >pentium. > > > > > >> - Only 6 email support tickets per month ($15 each for extra!) > >> - 6 reboots ($29 each for extra!) > > > >If either of those isn't enough, you shouldn't be running a server in > >the first place. > > > > > >> - Windows 2003 Server - $26 per month (incl with KAVPS) > > > >You never mentioned Windows was a requirement :) > > > > > >> - MSSQL 2005 Standard - $99 per month (incl with KAVPS) > > > >You have sufficient diskspace and RAM to install MSSQL 2005 Express on > >your own server.
