The TOS seems like a copy and paste festival.

Found a large part of the "Usage of resources" section here (see 7a)
http://www.hostgator.com/tos/tos.php

Also found the bottom part is just from LithiumHosting's TOS (See 2 (2))
http://www.lithiumhosting.com/terms/...oductagreement

Guess I'm just being picky though.

The final part about Hostgator is true, I have copied it as our US hosting is probably going to be based there - we have to follow their terms and I had permission to use that content. I however, did not copy from Lithium.

Mhm, I see. I'm trying to download some speedtest files from the US and they seem to be capping at about 90mbits a second.

You're not going to tell me that it bounces to that speed instantly..? From what I see you insta-cancelled the download.

I honestly think you should get a lawyer or something to look over your ToS
Its seriously full of holes, and if you ever got sued they would have a field day with something like this.
There is a reason why ToSes are like 20 pages long, You can make and still keep a plain English one, but make sure you have a document that can hold its own in a courtroom as well, You really have to write these things to the lowest common denominator, Nothing is ever assumed.

The Cachefly one? If so that's definitely wrong, all VM's & nodes should get super speeds on cachefly and the rest of the web...

I have never claimed that the IP blocks were ours.

this isn't to bash Fanatical at all, I wouldn't move from them anytime soon as I've had a lot better than those speeds in the past with other VPS's from them, although this one just seems pretty slow.

Then why tell us about the free blocks/RIPE membership? Maybe you get free ones from ecatel, but that still doesn't count as RIPE membership, I'm merely confused.

Always be positive about the product! That and our VPS speeds are often the fastest around (going on what our clients say, that is).

Chulo Arco posted:

It's a gbit VPS, furthermore 16.4MB/s is not possible on 100mbits, the max is 12.5.

@Snakess could you pm me your IP/email so I can take a look? You should be getting far more than 16MB/s from any of our nodes...

Firstly depends whether you want Xen or OpenVZ. If unmetered bandwidth is important to you, then Fantatical are your best bet. However, I suspect you can get a higher level of performance out of my nodes, so if the volumes of bandwidth you can consume are less of a priority, then you're probably best with one of my services.

**benjojo** · 26th January 2012

You may not:

Code:

Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.

Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.

This seems pretty harsh.

After reading the ToS I have to ask this question:

What CAN users do on your nodes??

You are giving users so much power and so much bandwidth with amazing speeds. Yet, its seems like there is NOTHING you can do on the virtual box.

Actually no, it descended to that speed from about 500 kB/s. Which is still an abysmal speed. Currently your speed test link times out so yeah that's pretty shit too.
