Yesterday, I started a VM ("InfraOrange") from Quadranet.com. At first, I found a problem with the order form. The Paypal button was not working. I immediately started chatting with a rep, and he was very helpful. He offered to take my order manually but I told him I'd prefer to do it via their online process.
I informed the rep to let me know when the online order form would work again, so I can try it later. I gave him my information to contact me. The rep immediately opened a ticket, and an hour later, they informed me to try it again. I was able to place the order successfully but I was unable to log in. I called them and someone answered the phone right away. The rep. who took the call was a native English speaker and immediately offered a resolution. They re-sent the account information and I was able to access my account.
They were very polite and I felt that they were very genuine. I am glad they are offering this service since they are very close to where I live. Avg. ping from my location is min/avg/max/mdev = 0.056/0.064/0.070/0.005 ms
I compiled mysql, apache, others and it performed really well. The control panel is very easy to use. They are missing many features that other cloud providers offer but one of the rep mentioned that they will be adding them over time.
