Hey LET,
I'm not sure if this is much of a review, but this is what I can say about my experience with ZXPlay.
I'll write more when I setup the VPS and see how it does in production.
So yeah, the other day, I purchased a custom VPS from ZXPlay.
It has the following specifications:
- 2GB of RAM + 2GB of vSwap
- 2 CPU cores (i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz)
- 40GB disk space (I had IO speeds of around 250mb/s)
- 1TB of bandwidth
- OpenVZ
- 1 IPv4 address + 10 IPv6 addresses
- Node is located in Germany
General Remarks
Anyways, I've been tinkering around with the machine, and things have generally been positive.
When I submitted replies to my tickets, it barely took 1-3 minutes for them to be answered.
Support staff was friendly, and was very helpful.

Finally, here's the FreeVPS (v2) benchmark:

Support Responses
I thought the support was pretty good, with 1-3 minute response times. The staff was knowledgeable, and easy to deal with.
That's one of my tickets (well, my only ticket anyway), but the rest of it is confidential.
Uptime
I'll post this in about a month or two, in a new thread.
Conclusion
I've already tried this provider before, but I was so impressed with the free VPS I had from them (sourced from FreeVPS), I decided to buy one for myself.
Support is great, disk IO is good, network is pretty good, and in general, I am happy with the service I'm receiving from ZXPlay.
(I'll add a ServerBear benchmark soon, it's running right now as I speak)
