Anyone have anything positive to say about alphared.com?

Would you host your paysite network with them? Or just your high traffic low quality sites like tubes and tgp's?

Thanks.

Alphared is resold by a lot of people. Generally they oversell their bandwidth and boxes - ie, offer 100mbit uncapped boxes - most of their clients will never pull it, so it's a reasonably safe bet.

If you do read the fine print though, you'll see that they limit speed on outgoing vs ingoing and local traffic, too, I believe.

That said, always a very good cheap option. Why pay 90 for a VPS when you can pay 150 for a full box
