Customer Service
So far any questions or concerns I've had have been addressed within a few minutes. Sometimes responses take an hour or so. Nothing to long.
@fizzyjoe908 is always willing to lend a hand and help out wherever he can.
Network
The network performs pretty well for me. I am running a couple of game servers, and a couple of dev vms on OpenVZ Web Panel.
Location
This server is located in the Continuum Data Center, and the network seems to be pretty good so far. Haven't had any hiccups or problems.
Overall
Great service, the pricing is pretty good. IP addresses are a bit pricey but I'm sure they will only get more and more expensive as fewer are available.
I'm happy with this purchase and will be keeping this server for a good long while.
