Is ServerMatrix.com any good?
 

Dual Xeon with 1200GB for $149/mon sounds a very good deal. Anyone use it?

I got a server at servermatrix. everything have been great,,, but their support could be a little bit faster

If you can manage your own box then its great!

ServerMatrix are good if you know how to manage a server, they don't provide support, it's a non-managed service.

There is a $299 setup fee for that machine in order to pay $149 per month, so if you're thinking long term that's definately a good deal.

Then it all makes sense. I just automatically assumed the server was managed. Thank you!

SM is great so far with my experience with them :thumbsup

yeah if you want to pay 150 for them to install FTP o you can ftp your box sure its great.

they advertised some deal here, I bit.

Great price but when I tried to FTP the server they told me I had to pay 150 to have FTp installed.

I canceleed immediately.

After 2 months and the money I put into getting more dedicated with them I cancelled it all and stuck with webair.

no fucking way it costs 150 to install FTP.

exactly, you need to know how to setup & manage your box yourself, otherwise definately not recommended

why even advertise dedicated servers for 75$ and keep the $150 for FTp install a secret??

In the end they took my money and I got shit. 2months with a dedicated server I couldnt use.

Not a cool way to do business.

How many suckers like me they take for 200 bucks a month?

I have a server with them and it's great. They do offer support for your server through their Orbit Ticket system. If you ask a simple question like "why is my server down" they'll inform you what's wrong and how do go about fixing it.

Go to www.webhostingtalk.com cause ServerMatrix posts great deals there, including FREE SETUP! That's how I got my server at a great price.

It's a good deal if you're willing to get support from someone else. I have several clients who I manage servermatrix boxes for. If you need something installed or upgraded, look around for someone else to do it. I personally do an hour of server admin work for $50 and I am sure there are people willing to do it for less.

Brilliant host at excellent prices: even when I add in $50 a month for server admin. 6 months with them so far and not the smallest hiccup.

And FletchXXX, I'm surprised at your FTP problems. The first thing I did was have someone optimize and secure my server, but even before they went in, everything was working: FTP included.

I didnt have "problems: - I was lured in with get 1000 gigs for 75$ per dedicated.

After I paid, and got login info etc was told it was $150 to install FTP ;) I did not feel like dropping that on a dedicated with some company I do not know while I have dedicated with Webair. SO I cancelled it, and they took the money and I never used the server.

I got nothing bad to say about them, my server works perfect! No downtime so far (been three months).

You can't go wrong with ServerMatrix :thumbsup

Had some starting up problems but now with the help of a 3rd party server admin im really happy with them. I use them for tgping only, all my other sites that work with scripts and stuff are hosted somewhere else because i often need support for those site.. www.energyhosting.com
