Bad experience from Santrex.net

Sometimes they would suspend for the lulz just to get money.

yep i remember the hack too...also their support is crap...actually told me once to ask another query in the same ticket, 'no need to open another separate ticket to get our attention'....wtf.

fwiw their dedi was good when i bought one ($85) way back when, but mainly because they were reselling OVH.

'no need to open another separate ticket to get our attention'

Because the client gets annoyed they won't answer and the host makes that up.

Thanks for the warning.

'I can remember last time their VPSes were hacked. One big mess, because they were using buggy HyperVM", can you go more into detail on how HyperVM was buggy and how it contributed the hack, and by hack what do you mean? A change of password, random booting, etc. It will help in general to understand how awful it really is to use hypervm, I mean how could a company use such a contraction? Meaning it will establish their credibility by the answering of the questions above. Thanks.

i used to be with them, their vps's were awful. always out of ram, even when i wasn't using the darn thing.
most of the time they don't seem aware of what setup they have. bought shared hosting from them (out of affiliate credit) about 6 months after i'd quit from them, ecause i needed emergency hosting. could i have been more stupid. i tried to install IPB, get errors everywhere, checked phpinfo, said they had php4 installed. so i asked them, and they said no php5 is installed. then they disabled phpinfo. jokers.

lmao PHP4?

I quit using that shit when they told me to pay up $3 bucks just to get unsuspended when all my page was a single html page. How the hell single html page would use all cpu resource, what a fcker.

Be warned, you don't want to get any near santrex, full of shit host.

One of the reasons why the creator of HyperVM hanged himself. Pretty shocking. He couldn't cope with it.

Santrex just cares about the money JMimic, it became opensource and therefore free so they (continued) using it. I dunno if they were using it while it was a paid service.

they suspend my host 6 months ago very bad hosting for me

[JMimic]

From what I know a common password was used to manage his servers, Rus. Plus I don't like how he does things. I lost my data twice in 24 hours from a hardware failure. And when I asked for my refund like he promised my ticket closes magically. Are you sure it wasn't Rus who is lieing?

Santrix just used the I got hacked excuse I believe. I was thinking maybe that was a good tactic, but man that is so morally wrong.

Hell if people believed hypervm is that bad, I guess anyone can use such a stunt, unless there is conclusive evidence in which Santrix got hacked.
