I know people like to see reviews and similiar here and just want to make a little post of how its going for me, as this is the first time with Redswitches.
And yea, it might not go as planned. Got to talk to Glenn on skype at sunday, where we came up with a good server he could get me, it was fast and good replies and i was happy with the server we agreed to fix.
And as you can see on their first/main post in this thread "
Setup Time: 1-2 Business Days" and so today i asked on skype how's it going, 3 hours later i got a reply the server unfortunately was out of stock and will have to wait to friday, thats 5 days after i ordered it.
I told him i cant wait that long, as i have another server right now that will expire on friday, and need to send files between my old and new server as i have to slow connection at home.
So he got me another server he said they have in stock, the only downside with that one is it doesnt have SSD as i wanted and was going to have on my server we agreed at first, but anyway, i might handle slow HDD for a month and then get a SSD server or something...
Anyway, all ended that i will go with that server and he will get back to me in 24 hours, so lets see tomorrow how its going.
Remember, Im
not saying this is bad or good, just wanted to make a post here how its going for me, as alot of people want to know who never used RedSwitches before and see how they handle this.
RedSwitches might be a very good provider, we just have to wait and see how its going tomorrow, and i will for sure get back with more info, if you are intrested about that
Update edit: Well yea i got the server today, and i became really happy as they told me and delivered the server we agreed with first with SSD drives :D
But thats not everything, they provided me with the wrong OS on the server.... and i know some of you would say, its easy reinstall via their client portal. Well yea it is but when doing so, the raid 0 will disappear and i want it on my 2 SSD drives, therefore i created a ticket which they replied to pretty fast (25min) and said they are going to reinstall it and fix the raid 0.... and that reply was now 4 hours ago.
I dont know, but it should not take more than 1 hour to reinstall OS and install a software raid?
So dont know what they are doing now or if they just have very slow support. Well guess we will see how it goes tomorrow... remember i ordered and paid the server at sunday, so tomorrow its 4 days. Not really the fastest server delivery.
Update edit2: well only 4 hours later they send me new details and with ubuntu and raid 0
Lets now see how good the server is! :D
