Hi all,

Getting tired of the current shared hosting offers, having moved from two very reputable providers already in April (Dathorn and UnitedHosting) I decided to go for a VDS. I did a lot of research. I read good things about JVDS/VPSColo, ServInt and Dinix, but ended up going with Dinix because they gave me the fastest and most friendly response to my sales emails.

I signed up last night, and got my payment confirmation email about 30 minutes later. My server was up about three hours ago. Not as fast as I'm used to with shared hosting because they have obviously got to setup a new VDS account on their system and install all the software, so I was not bothered at all by this.

I got into my server no problem. In their email it told me I needed to contact them if I changed the name servers and host name so that they could update the Reverse DNS, which I did. I posted a ticket on "Medium" and had a friendly response letting me know they had made the changes after about 15 minutes. Excellent!

Since it's a VDS, I have full control and can set it up how I like, so that is all I can comment on as of yet. I'll keep you all updated.

Lets see if I can stay with them for a bit longer than UnitedHosting and Dathorn then, eh? Maybe I just demand too much? When I'm paying for a service I just expect performance. I don't expect them to have NO problems, and I don't expect 5 minute support, but I do expect reasonable response times (Hell UnitedHosting) and I don't expect the staff to have a temper with me on every ticket (Hello Dathorn).

Thanks.
