Has anyone used Virtualservers.co.za

[ycevents]

Interested in their solution as they quite quick on latency on their own website. Looks like they using Hetzner data centre.
Would like to know your opinion or any alternatives you would recommend (Not afri**** please)

I have used them (Datakeepers/virtualservers) for a few years now

I dont recall them being down during this time

They not using Hetzner for my server: (traceroute from PE)

host-h is hetzner. I was told they are either Hetzner or Teraco data centre so a little confused.

Choice for me is between them, red cactus, hostafrica.co.za very hard decision!

If you can choose the Teraco option, I think it will be their own servers

Maybe its also the CT servers

Send a message to their support if you want to find out, they are quite good

I can vouch for HostAfrica, as I have about 200 VPS servers with them.
Service levels have gotten a lot better and they have decent pricing a well.

Thanks. I spoke to someone there they are quite friendly. It's just such a damn pity CPANEL charges per account!
But definitely one of my options.

Yes Teraco I'll try but Hetzner also decent

Thanks dude. I know they used to be amplehosting which they took over and there were issues but maybe they have sorted them out.

Can vouch for datakeepers/virtual hosts, get pretty nice latency to their CT teraco center, occasionally also had my docker VPN server there to do LAN games, latency was solid.

Another options is domains.co.za, they have pretty good support on this forum.

@datakeepers if you are official, please message rpm to verify your account.
