10 Month Review -Rockmyweb.net
OK, since Rock My Web is now offering services again, it's probably time to give them a review!
I have 2 VPSs with Rockmyweb. I got the first in September of 2008, and my large one where I host my client websites at the end of October 2008.
First and foremost, I will say that this is the longest I have been with a provider in a few years. I have been burned by companies that disappear, with others that keep changing datacenters and the like. Rock My Web has been nothing short of fantastic from a performance standpoint.
Network:
I am in their Chicago DC. Speed from there to Toronto is fantastic. The servers themselves are also quick, and not overloaded. I realize that their new offerings in other DCs are less expensive, but I am happy to pay a bit of a premium to be in Chicago.
Price:
Not bottom of the barrel pricing, but very competitive. I have VPSs with other providers that are a bit cheaper, but none of them offer anything in Chicago. Good value for the money, IMO.
Support:
Haven't really need to speak to support much, so really can't comment. That's the ideal situation, right? Since the fall, there was only one major (i.e. a few hours) downtime, and that was related to the datacenter. I would like to see them get an offsite node to report downtime on, but since there has been very little, it hasn't been a major issue.
Billing:
If there has been anything that has caused me a problem, it has been with the billing system. Part of the problem was my own doing - I cancelled an add-on package without realizing it was on a paypal subscription. Getting the credit sorted out was a 3 month process.
Their VPS Control Panel:
They do not use HyperVM, but rather a control panel of their own. The earlier version was funky/buggy, but the later version is a lot better. There are some neat functions in it, but there are still a couple of little quirks to work with.
All in all, I am very happy to be a customer. The service is solid and quick, and great value for the money. I wish them the best with their new offerings. There is a reason that I host my clients on their servers and have for a good number of months.
