so, I’ve been using Hostvds.com for a while now with a basic $0.99 vps in Asia (HongKong) and was impressed with the service/network and decided to get another server in Finland.
It was all good, uptime was all singing and dancing and network till Tuesday it went down. The provider was telling us in Telegram, that they was under ddos. They was very quiet regarding updating us with what was going, other than it could take 24hrs to resolve. Fast forward 3days, and the ddos attack was still going on and they was fine tuning the ddos protection? however my vps IP wasn’t being advertised to the world. I would ping my vps from home and it wouldn’t even leave my internal network.
i went to Telegram, and explained and got no response either that it was a ddos…. same answer. They finally fully returned and are working on improving the ddos protection. They offer a vps in kansas, they use wholesaleinternet.net who don’t have ddos protection and just null the IP.
woke up this morning and funny enough, I was banned from Hostvds.com community Telegram. I think they are trying to silence me for actually talking the truth, was definitely something to do with the ASN rather than a ddos attack.
i would avoid these, unless you want a vps just to use for VPN
