Hi,
This review is based on the plans: MiniRDP and RegularRDP.
After my problems with HostDZire, I decided to choose DediRDP because:
- its owned by Vice Admin of WJ
- when I had problems with HD, I got a good impression about DediRDP because at one point they said:
"hop on to our services. I assure you will not face the same discrimination with us"
Well they were right. I didn't face the "same" discrimination. It was "WORST". Whole new level of discrimination. Decision to use their service was the worst decision I've ever made for the last 6 years I've been using RDPs.
I didn't mention anything about this in public until now, because I wanted to give them a chance to come to their senses. I wanted to know what their stand/ final decision (it was no proper solution + no refund) was until I post this in public.
Picture is worth a thousand words. So I'll put screenshots as proofs.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
My First Ticket about issues
http://img.sceper.ws/images/4epq6.png
FF Issue mentioned in above ticket
http://img.sceper.ws/images/Mlb5.png
You can see their irresponsibility by the reply I got for this in first ticket. Their business, their server, not my fault; but Im supposed to take responsibility and contact FF !!!!
Main reason people buy RDP is to upload to File Hosts. In the RDP they gave me FF is banned. I noticed it only because its one of the sites I upload.
Its possible there are more hosts banned.
According to them its not their responsibility. Last I checked, its their business, server is owned by them, customer paid money for a server without problems.
So if there is a host banned in a server you buy, don't expect them to move you to another server with same price, config.
Even if they own and manage everything, its not their responsibility to offer a solution. You will have to find one yourself.
If not you are required to either use the server with the problem OR let them keep the money, leave and buy another RDP from them or other provider.
(refer to the screenshot of my First Ticket)
Points to be noted from the above First Ticket:
- Filefactory wasn't banned due to my fault. It was already banned when I got the server.
- FF is very important to my work
- My request was to move me to another MiniRDP slot or upgrade.
- They denied because I complained about server performance (at least I thought this was the reason based for their decision)
- They offered me work around as solution. Customers shouldn't have to pay for uninterupted usage AND find work around to get their work done.
- They didn't provide "proper" solution or refund (yet they advertise it as "Superior Support").
- I used the server with performance issues "EVERYDAY" for last month. (see following for proof)
- They will NOT REFUND "no matter how reasonable your request is".

REVIEW ABOUT PERFORMANCE
Refer to the screenshots in my first ticket.
Also check out following screenshots and videos.
This is what got from their "Unmatched Services" and "Quality Hardware"
They are clearly overselling. Other providers may do the same thing, but at least their server performance is good.
They don't mention anywhere how many users they put on a server. But it doesn't change the fact that they are overselling.

Nearly 2 mins to open Mipony
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ibiCPjIK8E
Same thing another day-notice the date:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUoLXKXNhBw
Another one taken after approx. 10 hours (to prove performance is worst always)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY3J0B5URBU
Another one after 4 hours (to prove performance is worst always)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPLoiq-REPM
Another one taken on the next day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSKQYvtrSDE
Check this to see the time it takes to move files
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQqqdPlKtwM
(I recorded only part of the process. Obviously I couldn't wait for it to finish. So I stopped the recording, left the computer and came back)
Time it takes to RAR 350 mb files
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhkwwFgc2ss
(it took approx. 40 mins for this to finish)
Time it takes to RAR 540 mb file (another time-notice the date)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VZ4QqvLuAQ
(it took approx. 1 hour for this to finish)
Time it takes to UnRAR nearly 50 GB content
http://img.sceper.ws/images/8Yzaw.png
Some screenshots about poor performance
http://img.sceper.ws/images/k3wfK.png
http://img.sceper.ws/images/WDId.png
http://img.sceper.ws/images/POpJl.png
http://img.sceper.ws/images/sXqE.png
I was "forced" (as they didn't offer proper solution or refund) to work in this "crappy" performance server for a month.
When I got a demo for higher plan, I noticed they are overselling them too.
As I expected; performance, down up speeds were slow when I tested the server.
So Im pretty sure everything on those servers are crappy too.
___________________________________________________________________________
REVIEW ABOUT SUPPORT
Their support is so excellent that almost all the time, it takes them few hours to reply to a ticket.
They advertise as 24/7 support, superior support.
You can see this in above mentioned two tickets. Sometimes its more than 6 hours.
Check more tickets:
http://img.sceper.ws/images/ZU5m8.png
http://img.sceper.ws/images/J08rL.png
http://img.sceper.ws/images/AYdsB.png
As they define, I faced lots of "one-off incidents". One-off or not it still affect the server performance. Sometimes I just waited. Sometimes I opened a ticket. I had to wait hours for them to notice my ticket and fix it, I stopped my work and waited for them. If I had opened a ticket everytime there was a issue, amount of the tickets would be doubled.
After few days, I stopped opening tickets (I opened some when it was very urgent). Instead, I decided to wait few "hours". If they wanted, after seeing the ticket I opened, they could have closely monitor the server and catch the abuser. But they didn't.
I wouldn't be surprised if they say, its our (users) responsibility to monitor the server and report abusers.
___________________________________________________________________________
WJ DISPUTE
During the WJ dispute investigation DediRDP said WJ Admin that it my fault that FF got banned.
I don't understand how I could get FF banned when it was already banned the first time I logged into the RDP.
Maybe WJ was provided misleading info by DediRDP, but I was surprised when I got the impression that WJ thought I got the FF banned.
(check the screenshot of the msgs between me and WJ Admin)
http://img.sceper.ws/images/AMcUr.png
You can see WJ's surprising final decision. I still don't understand the logic of their decision.
WJ said, if DediRDP offer a solution, it will be out of goodwill of DediRDP.
Human qualities like goodwill doesn't come out in the blue.
If they had goodwill in the first place, I wouldn't have to argue, file a dispute, wait days for this issue to be solved and use a crappy server for a month.
I think WJ should enforce more strict rules to protect buyers if RDP Providers want to advertise their business. If they can't, they shouldn't let businesses to advertise in the first place.
Some rules like: compulsory money back guarantee (I think even 12 hours suffice), compensation methods for most common problems (downtime, malware, HDD failures)
This way, I think problems like this could be minimized or if lucky, averted.

___________________________________________________________________________
CONCLUSION
STAY AWAY
With Hostdzire, at least their server performance was good. So I would still ask buyers to try them
But with DediRDP, performance is bad (both plans I tried), support is taking longer.
So don't even try, STAY AWAY from them.
Why STAY AWAY, not even try once:
- When there is a disagreement between RDP provider and customer, only place we can ask help is WJunction. You saw how my dispute process turned out and illogical answer I got. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that DediRDP is owned by a highly Ranking member of WJ. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Either way I don't think you should buy an RDP from a provider who also happens to be the Vice Admin of WJ. Because normally we would think as the owner is highly reputed member of WJ, if there is a problem, we will get a reasonable solution. But we never think what would happen, where we can go for help, if we don't!!
- First I requested refund (check First Ticket screenshot-you can see if my request is unreasonable). Request denied.
Then I requested for an upgrade or move my slot to another MiniRDP server where FF is working. (I don't see how this request is unreasonable)
Guess what they "decided". Use the provided slot with Filefactory problem or leave.
What about the money I paid for 1 month service without any problems. They will keep it of course, because they don't care about customers.
They don't refund, they don't offer proper solutions when there are problems in current one.
Customers don't deserve that kind of treatment.
Basically they don't care about what problem customers have.
One of a kind "Excellent, Superior Support" I got.
- due to above reasons I mentioned "with proof" (one-off incidents or not, they still affected the server performance. It took them hours to reply to a ticket-proof above)
- dishonesty - promising one thing before paying, going against it after paying
- you will not get a refund for any reason at all (no specific reasons-at least common ones- mentioned anywhere which enable them to interpret the situation as they see fit). Upgrading isn't helping too because of above performance issues
With other providers, buyers at least have a chance with WJ.
In short you are left to accept the DediRDP decision as final no matter how unreasonable it is. You can see in the main ticket screenshot I provided above, at one point they are acting like thugs. Instead of offering a solution when they are 100% able to do so, they keep my money and says to use the server with problems or leave. Must be acting like this because owner is Vice Admin of WJ.
This is my personal opinion.
WJ and DediRDP will surely have their own personal opinions to defend themselves.
No matter what they say, it doesn't change the fact that I faced all these problems and didn't get a solution or refund. I've been using other RDPs for last 6 years and I have experience with providers which I didn't have to open a single ticket to complain about performance. If they can do it, DediRDP can too. Only reason DediRDP can't is their service is bad.
Im so relieved to get out of this crappy service and I would never wish on anyone to become to a customer of DediRDP
Reason I posted this review is because, then "potential buyers can decide for themselves if they are going to voluntarily get in trouble by buying an RDP from DediRDP."
This review is based on the plans: MiniRDP and RegularRDP.
After my problems with HostDZire, I decided to choose DediRDP because:
- its owned by Vice Admin of WJ
- when I had problems with HD, I got a good impression about DediRDP because at one point they said:
