Over the past couple of days in this forum there's been several threads about this company. The company who've I've currently got a Dedi with. So, have what people being saying is the same case for me? Or not. After all these threads I thought another opinion is due. So here I come.
My Dedicated server was ordered on the 20th of February. And I received the details on the 23rd. So if you do the math that's roughly 3days. Some people may say that's long, but I thought otherwise, it may be low in industry standard but it didn't bother me that much. I had quite a lot of preparing to do. Unlike with other providers, the Dedi itself was installed beautifully. It had a great PHP Config, ConfigServer Security & Firewall was set up without a flaw. The only thing which I wanted to perfect was the apache rebuild. So I'll take my hat off to the owner who did that for me, thanks.
I'm currently not that far into owning the dedi, it's around half a month. So I can't really give the product itself a huge timely review on it. When I first received the dedi I got straight onto the task of moving around 400 accounts. Not the funniest thing to do on a saturday/sunday but It was what I had to do. With around 200 of them moved, I switched onto Live Support, to see if they would help with the move of the accounts. As I was giving the details to the owner I was really pleased with the service that I was receiving. I thought it was great. After she gave me the go ahead, I went offline and carried out a few duties. After coming on the next day I looked at the server to see that around 70 moved, which I wasn't too happy about. It was a large task to carry out though, I wasn't that bothered. It gave me the opportunity to clean out the system and the accounts which are on it. So that overall didn't grind my gears that much.
After this, there was no real need for me to use the support again. The server was running hitch free. I was getting on with developing and running a website, so I was a happy bunny with the purchase. The server itself is great. Over this month I've had it, I've been flooded with emails and messages saying how fast it is, how it responds. That's all really I can say about the server, no problems, great speed.
In conclusion, my experience with Geekrack is a brilliant one. The blip with moving accounts didn't bother me. The server was set up beautifully and I've had no outages. Why all the fuss? I get the problems with the Burst.net TOS but if you do what you're supposed to do, why complain?
Kudos Geekrack. Great job, keep going.
