East coast datacenter

We have been with HyperFilter for about 10 months now.
We host a game which makes use of both TCP/UDP and heard good reviews about HyperFilter and their protection, which is why we decided to go and get a server at them.

They are fairly priced compared to their competitors such as KoDDoS, DDoS-Guard, Voxility, etc.

The moment we moved to them, we haven't had any problems until a few days ago when we were receiving a continues UDP DDoS flood which took down the (game) server.
After discussing with the host, they provided a solution that has been working excellent so far. If you know what your traffic looks like, they can adjust the firewall rules in order to lower the impact on your server, which is not something that many other hosts provide. Their support is top-notch and extremely fast as well.

Overall, I rate HyperFilter a 9/10. I would definitely recommend HyperFilter to anyone who is hosting a game and has DDoS problems.

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.

I'm a small business owner and developer since 2003. We have a few dedicated servers, each one with a different host. One of these hosts was sold and the new owner wants us to use a new server in a new location. We are considering switching to another host. This server runs some important client web sites, our own site, and web apps we're developing.

What we're looking for:
- unmanaged bare metal dedicated server, Intel Xeon 4c/8t minimum, 6 or 8 core preferred
- 16GB RAM, 32GB RAM preferred
- 1TB (or 960GB) SSD, 2 x SSD software RAID preferred
- FreeBSD 11 or 12 (our other servers are FreeBSD 11.4)
- $140/month or less (we're paying $130/month now for the current server, no SSD, 16GB)
- US data center, east coast preferred

Obviously we want a decent data center and good customer support but we also want a company who is going to be around for the next 10 years and isn't likely to be bought up by some Wall Street investment firm who doesn't care about the customers of the smaller hosting firms they're purchasing.

Hosts I'm researching:
- Vultr
- OVHcloud (the US branch)
- Linode
- Hivelocity

So far, OVH seems to have the exact hardware, price point, and data center but their billing system worries me.

If you have any experience with these hosts, good or bad, please share. If you work for one of these hosts, I'm open to offers.

thanks,

Robert

Anybody else have servers at WebNX that noticed really slow network throughput from their Utah DC to East Coast NA? So far this has been happening with us for a few days now and support has always said there was no issue with their network, there was just a DDoS and they rerouted traffic. But seems for me its not.

I tested from multiple VPS I have from locations like NY (colocrossing), Canada (OVH), FL (DediPath), SG (Leaseweb), and a multitude of others, all with varying result but bottom line was its unstable. For example, trying to download their network test file (https://mirrors-ogd.webnx.com/test/1gb.bin), it would all yield something really low from 100KB/s to 2MB/s. Occasionally I would hit 20MB/s at my SG server, but only for some time. Tested it with my LA server (colocrossing), this one is good, about 30MB/s.

Tried to do a lot of iPerf3 tests as well, with just similar result with conclusion that its extremely slow.

Just want to know if I am the only one experiencing it.

Hello,

We have to renew our server at Zare within the next two months and out of curiosity I was considering moving to a new provider, however, I'm unsure if there is any that can provide us with a better deal. The biggest DDoS attack we have received peaked at approximately 16 Mpps.

We have tried in the past:
- OVH
- Psychz

We had a considerably bad experience with Psychz so unfortunately, I can't even consider them, OVH works but the lack of support is a bit concerning (Note, I'm not asking for top tier support, just the relief of knowing that if there is a major outage, I know I will receive help ASAP).

We have the following:
E5-2650V3
128GB DDR4 ECC)
Drive Configuration (2 x 480GB SSD)
Port Speed (1Gbps) Transfer (50TB) £0.00
IP Allocation (15 x IP Address)

We pay on average $180 a month, which is honestly pretty good and I have no problems with Zare other than the storage being quite expensive. Do any of you have any alternative or suggestions?

Thank you.

I love the company and I know there is no hosting company that cant block all types of attacks, always had my gameserver attacked been with OVH, NFO Servers, PhoenixNAP and many many others more, now I am with RSNET because I really like their location and network... but this time the attack is different. It doesn't seem volumetric seems like some kind SYN attack I am guessing due to the CPU being at 100%.
Their anti ddos filters or firewalls doesn't seem to even detect it.

Last ticket I sent them they told me to apply this rules ( I didn't because the attacks stopped but I just applied those rules, honestly I dont know if they will help a lot because on my experience reading IPTABLES or any kind of software firewall doesnt seem to do much on DDoS attacks)

This is how my netdata graph looks like

Any advice ?

I even nullrouted the IP that I think might be getting attacked but didn't do nothing ( super super strange )

Hello Buddies, any one can tell me best way to protect a server from DDOS Attacks ? Any Software or Firewall or Configuration from my side I can do to protect my dedicated server from DDOS Attacks ?

Is anyone aware of any company that has a presence in South Africa which is able to offer dedicated servers with DDOS mitigation (Thats not Host Africa)
I've taken a look over many websites over there but don't seem to be able to find any

Hello,

I'm looking for a good host to host a Tor exit node relay, is Psychz a good match? About the complaints? Do they listen or do they shut down the server at the slightest suspicion?


Thank you!

Hey all,

I'm looking for suggestions for a new dedicated servers based East Coast USA, all my servers are European based so I don't know any good US based server companies. I'm in need of a server with

Atleast a 6c/12t CPU /Intel Xeon etc
Between 64GB & 128GB RAM
1 Gbps unmetered bandwidth
4TB Storeage (either 1x4TG or 2x2TB merged)
Ubuntu 18.04 OS (custom software for clients demands 18.04)

So suggestions welcome, but please no OVH or Hetzner suggestions as I don't use them, had bad experiences with both.

Cheers
