WebNX Utah Slow Network?

Background
We run a game server hosting company which has been running since 2012. We currently rent roughly 200 dedicated servers from 6 different providers. We currently rent roughly 60 of these dedicated servers from WebNX. We've been with them for just over 7 years and I can safely say that they've been the best datacentre we've used. I know how important reviews are to a company; I feel that we've used WebNX long enough to write an honest review.

Support
We've had our fair share of rubbish support from datacentres in the past. WebNX definitely provides the best support out of all the datacentres we've used. During the past 7 years, I'd say the average response time for a ticket at WebNX was about 10 minutes. We've found the biggest issue with large datacentres is that their support teams are disjointed. This leads to issues which "don't fit the norm" taking a long time to resolve. WebNX is large enough to provide 24/7 365 day support yet small enough to provide genuinely good "straight to the point" support.

Reliability / Uptime
All the datacentres we've used have had some sort of major outage at some point in time. During the 7 years, there have been a couple of network outages at WebNX but the issues have always been resolved quickly along with good communication. Considering the number of servers we have with them, I'd say the uptime is incredibly high.

Hardware
During the past 7 years we've switched our server hardware roughly 4 or 5 times. It's as simple as contacting them letting them know what hardware you like, they provide a reasonably priced quote and in a couple of days, the server is delivered. I'd say on average, broken hardware is resolved in roughly an hour from us opening the ticket.

DDoS Protection
I'd say this is the downside of WebNX. They'll automatically nullroute the IP address if a DDoS attack is detected. The amount of time the IP address is nullrouted depends on how much traffic the attack is sending. It's not really a huge issue for us as we can quickly work out which one of our clients was targeted and then get migrate them over to a DDoS protected IP address. I'm hoping at some stage they'll provide onsite DDoS protection.

Price
They're very reasonably priced considering the support and customisation which they offer.

Network
WebNX's network is top notch. Nothing to complain about at all.

Keep up the great work WebNX! Would be great if you could get another datacentre setup in East Coast USA.

Hey Everyone,

I am in urgent need of a new Dedicated Server. I have a server with WebNX and they have been down for 16+ hours with no ETA's given.

Here is what I have with WebNX: Intel Xeon W-1290P, 128GB DDR4 ECC, 1.6TB NVMe, 1Gbps Port, 100TB, /29 (iGPU). (Utah)

I would like the server in the US preferably LA, UTAH, Seattle, Texas.

I am looking for something similar around.

Any hosts that have anything comparable would be great or any suggestion from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again.

Hi,

Anyone out there on Rapidswitch servers having issues with network speeds
I have 3 dedi's with 1gb ports with them and 2 of them 30.0MB/s and the other 74.1MB/s, used to get full port speeds but recently getting very poor
Tested with speedtest.tele2.net and leaseweb.net and get the same speed, tested over 3 days as well and mostly constant
MTR shows no packet loss or high latency etc..

Any other test sites that are in london Uk?

Cheers

Keith

Webnx has announce their servers wont be back for weeks. We dont have weeks.

Looking for these in the West Coast USA.

500TB storage server/s, nvme drives for cache, 1gbps (10gbps for a month if possible) unmetered incoming, 40gbps private networking (aggregate if on multiple storage servers)
15 x server with iGPU, 32gb Ram, 1tb ssd/nvme, 1gbps private network, 1gbps public with at least 40TB outgoing.

We require free private networking for all servers.
Looking for something close to the pricing of webnx.

<<snipped>>

Thanks.

Hi there! I am looking to rent a dedicated server at WebNX on their Utah DC.
Anybody have experiences with them ?

Hi dear friends,

I have a dedicated server from Hetzner network.They are have about 500mbps download /300mbps upload speed. But when i install windows server (server 2012 and 2019) that upload speed is very down about 15-20mbps.

I use iis with default config. My test file is 3.7gb iso file. When i download from windows iis website i get 1.5megabyte/s speed from my home(i have 50mbps internet). But when i try it with linux rescue system and apache2 i got 6megabyte/s speed from my home. So my home maximum download speed already 5-6mb/s. But i dont understand why getting slower when i try it on server 2012 and 2019. I try many think, i need help.

its my server upload speed screen shoots:

Fresh install windows server 2012(i was try 2019 same result...) IIS download test from my home:

Bootable linux rescue system with apache2 server test from my home:

Anybody else have a server hosted in the ReliableSite NYC Metro datacenter and experiencing upstream bandwidth issues (upstream from your server, meaning clients downloading from your server)? In the past 2-3 days I've only been able to get ~3MB/s upstream (downstream is unaffected, I can still saturate the Gbps connection).

So then I tried ReliableSite's own speedtest links for each of their own data centers, posted he https://www.reliablesite.net/network/

http://nycmetro-speedtest.reliablesi...000mb.test.zip
http://miami-speedtest.reliablesite.net/1000mb.test.zip
http://los-angeles-speedtest.reliabl...000mb.test.zip

And I get the same bandwidth differences:

NYC Metro: ~3.5 MB/s
Miami: ~116 MB/s
Los Angeles: ~40 MB/s

These speeds are while running wget from the URLs above to a VM in Azure US East 2.

Can anyone else confirm that they see slow speeds with NYC Metro?

Please could I ask you to name a few competitors who are around the level of liquidweb in terms of reliability, infrastructure, hardware&network support, and big enough to not disappear or have a 17 day outage

My vision goes something like this

IBM SoftLayer
Rackspace
.
.
Liquidweb
.
.
.
.
HiVelocity
ReliableSite
Webnx
.
OVH

Whether my vision is fair is another thing, but I'm looking for candidates just below rackspace and above the webnx kind of level, i.e. in liquidweb ballpark just so I can add them to a list and research them further

Hello guys, i Need to know of you have issues with hetzner network, i have slow download of file like 2mb/s from many Europe location.

Thanks

Hello,

I am looking for premium* dedicated server providers offering Intel Scalable Processors. (Or the latest Processor that can offer min 2x16Core (without HT))
I would prefer EU location but any US location with better pings to South Asia would work as well.

So far, I have looked into LeaseWeb, PhoenixNap, Hivelocity. Wondering what else is out there .. Any provider you think gives similar network and support to their clients?

Premium = Support is always available for any network / server / hardware related issue. And any issue gets address timely. (Don't have to wait an hour for an update). Don't need full management.

Thanks
