Initial Review of Hosthatch

$

Ive had a few servers from hosthatch before - in their NL location (If I remember correctly). Their speeds were quite good back then, so when their anniversary offer appeared on LEB, I took a shot and grabbed the 2GB VZ-SSD #4 in Los Angeles

Network Speeds: Their hosted at Colo 55 (AS46562)

Download is nice, but upload leaves a bit to be desired sometimes. I'm going to let that go because Los Angeles speeds suck in general.

Disk Performance:

root@TinaFey:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 0.854868 s, 1.3 GB/s

Excellent speeds - their hosted on SSD

Support:

Support was quite fast on weekdays, but seems to be a bit on the slow side on weekends - I submitted a ticket in the wee hours of 00:10 on saturday and it took until 9:10am today for them to add a few iptables modules for nat, xt_connlimit, and ip6t_state. Im still waiting on them to generate an invoice for an requested additional IP.

Overall - I have only setup a few things (VPN, OwnCloud, Varnish) but performance has been excellent so far. At the moment, I am only using it as a personal VPS. As an added bonus, they have a less than 1ms latency to Backupsy's Los Angeles location - which I ended up using as a FTP storage (over openvpn) for owncloud.
