Im just gonna quote this review I did on my blog :)


A little while back I got a vps from 3dgwebhosting.com so I figured I might as well write my review on it.

The reason I got the vps was for some random dev stuff and the fact that it was a great price!!

I paid $15 for the following
512mb ram
15gb harddrive
100gb bandwidth
3ip’s
And it came with plesk 30 domains for free and that alone for some is a major plus

When I paid for the vps there was a error during the automated setup so I of course opened a support ticket. It was answered promptly and the server was setup and running the way it was suppose to. They even threw in the plesk power pack for free. Not that I used it :P.

The vps seemed to be reliable never had any network problems. The speed was decent considering the location [Canada]. And the support was also decent. I have seen better response times but they did respond within 30min most times but there was a couple times I got no reply for a hour or so. The only thing I did not like was the rdp limitation to 1 connection per vps. I would have liked to have at least 2 because I like to keep my desktop logged into the server and then when I am mobile it would be nice to have been able to log in to mess around with it. But because my desktop at home was still on it that was a slight pain.

All things considered tho if you are looking for a all around good windows vps server then check out http://3dgwebhosting.com

Don't ask me for a domain I hosted on there because it was just a dev server I never pointed a domain to that vps.

In any event there is my review :)

I too have a VPS with 3dg and they rock :)

If you contact David via a support ticket they will increase your RDP session limit too ;)

Nothing really interesting just don't see many good reviews on FWS (not as many as bad reviews) so I thought ide post a good one :)

I dont mind my VPS with them.
Support is not great though. Not fast & can be very blunt.
I like blunt straight to the point support though, others dont.
Its the speed of it that annoys me.
Apart from that Im happy.

I had good support response times. They can be kind of blunt but I as well like that

Are their VPS capped at 10mbit or something? I can't seem to go faster than 1-1.2MB/s on a VPS that I have with them.

Hmm, I get pretty good speeds from them, so I don't believe so...

It could be that slow internet connection you were telling me about :p

Heh, well I don't see how my internet connection would determine the speeds that I download files onto the VPS.

Doh! I thought you were talking about transfers from the VPS to your home connection.

Nope, I was referring to files that I was trying to download onto the VPS itself. What kind of speeds do you normally get?

Well, it is Canadian...we're not exactly known for our internet...it's either bad or expensive..mostly both.

I have VPS with them and it's working well for me. I mainly use it as a dev box though, so I don't really see the speed as an issue.
