WebNX Reviews?

Hey Everyone,

I am in urgent need of a new Dedicated Server. I have a server with WebNX and they have been down for 16+ hours with no ETA's given.

Here is what I have with WebNX: Intel Xeon W-1290P, 128GB DDR4 ECC, 1.6TB NVMe, 1Gbps Port, 100TB, /29 (iGPU). (Utah)

I would like the server in the US preferably LA, UTAH, Seattle, Texas.

I am looking for something similar around.

Any hosts that have anything comparable would be great or any suggestion from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again.

Anybody else have servers at WebNX that noticed really slow network throughput from their Utah DC to East Coast NA? So far this has been happening with us for a few days now and support has always said there was no issue with their network, there was just a DDoS and they rerouted traffic. But seems for me its not.

I tested from multiple VPS I have from locations like NY (colocrossing), Canada (OVH), FL (DediPath), SG (Leaseweb), and a multitude of others, all with varying result but bottom line was its unstable. For example, trying to download their network test file (https://mirrors-ogd.webnx.com/test/1gb.bin), it would all yield something really low from 100KB/s to 2MB/s. Occasionally I would hit 20MB/s at my SG server, but only for some time. Tested it with my LA server (colocrossing), this one is good, about 30MB/s.

Tried to do a lot of iPerf3 tests as well, with just similar result with conclusion that its extremely slow.

Just want to know if I am the only one experiencing it.

Background
We run a game server hosting company which has been running since 2012. We currently rent roughly 200 dedicated servers from 6 different providers. We currently rent roughly 60 of these dedicated servers from WebNX. We've been with them for just over 7 years and I can safely say that they've been the best datacentre we've used. I know how important reviews are to a company; I feel that we've used WebNX long enough to write an honest review.

Support
We've had our fair share of rubbish support from datacentres in the past. WebNX definitely provides the best support out of all the datacentres we've used. During the past 7 years, I'd say the average response time for a ticket at WebNX was about 10 minutes. We've found the biggest issue with large datacentres is that their support teams are disjointed. This leads to issues which "don't fit the norm" taking a long time to resolve. WebNX is large enough to provide 24/7 365 day support yet small enough to provide genuinely good "straight to the point" support.

Reliability / Uptime
All the datacentres we've used have had some sort of major outage at some point in time. During the 7 years, there have been a couple of network outages at WebNX but the issues have always been resolved quickly along with good communication. Considering the number of servers we have with them, I'd say the uptime is incredibly high.

Hardware
During the past 7 years we've switched our server hardware roughly 4 or 5 times. It's as simple as contacting them letting them know what hardware you like, they provide a reasonably priced quote and in a couple of days, the server is delivered. I'd say on average, broken hardware is resolved in roughly an hour from us opening the ticket.

DDoS Protection
I'd say this is the downside of WebNX. They'll automatically nullroute the IP address if a DDoS attack is detected. The amount of time the IP address is nullrouted depends on how much traffic the attack is sending. It's not really a huge issue for us as we can quickly work out which one of our clients was targeted and then get migrate them over to a DDoS protected IP address. I'm hoping at some stage they'll provide onsite DDoS protection.

Price
They're very reasonably priced considering the support and customisation which they offer.

Network
WebNX's network is top notch. Nothing to complain about at all.

Keep up the great work WebNX! Would be great if you could get another datacentre setup in East Coast USA.

Hello,
I was wondering what are some good WebNX alternatives based on specs and pricing? Granted pricing can be a bit higher... Haven't decided whether to switch or to give WebNX another try. This may be helpful to others who are considering switching as well. Any feedback would be great!

Webnx has announce their servers wont be back for weeks. We dont have weeks.

Looking for these in the West Coast USA.

500TB storage server/s, nvme drives for cache, 1gbps (10gbps for a month if possible) unmetered incoming, 40gbps private networking (aggregate if on multiple storage servers)
15 x server with iGPU, 32gb Ram, 1tb ssd/nvme, 1gbps private network, 1gbps public with at least 40TB outgoing.

We require free private networking for all servers.
Looking for something close to the pricing of webnx.

Thanks.

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday to Everyone :-)

I am seeking the advice/opinions of the WHT Community here. We were involved in the April 4th Data Center Fire up in Ogden, Utah. My server is back online, but now one of the Hard Drives is failing and I have to fight with the server daily to keep it online.

I am hoping that through your own personal experiences you can share with me your thoughts and suggestions of where one might look for a similar server at a cost effective price. Following is our current configuration:

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680v2, 128GB DDR3 ECC, 2 x 10TB SAS HDD, HW RAID-1, 1Gbps Port, 100TB Outbound, /27. There is an onboard IPMI and they include our Windows Server 2019 Standard License.

I have put a few feelers out and everyone is around the $500/Month mark. We currently pay $244 and there is no way that I can come anywhere close to the $500 ask. Does anyone have any thoughts where I may find a similar server and be online quickly?

Your help is most definitely appreciated!

Please could I ask you to name a few competitors who are around the level of liquidweb in terms of reliability, infrastructure, hardware&network support, and big enough to not disappear or have a 17 day outage

My vision goes something like this

IBM SoftLayer
Rackspace
.
.
Liquidweb
.
.
.
.
HiVelocity
ReliableSite
Webnx
.
OVH

Whether my vision is fair is another thing, but I'm looking for candidates just below rackspace and above the webnx kind of level, i.e. in liquidweb ballpark just so I can add them to a list and research them further

Hi,

I plan to purchase some multiple CPU servers from Web NX but it's like impossible to get to them. Sent emails to them but never got any replies except for the first one. Is there any problem with WebNX at the moment?

As you know, OVH has two data centers in the U.S.: Hillsboro and Vint Hill.
Does anyone rent servers there? Are there any complaints about uptime and speed within the U.S.?
Any opinions and experiences are welcome.

I am looking for something fast, 64 cores, plenty of ram, i need to run windows but also linux and the windows linux subsystem only works on certain builds of windows server as far as i know.

so i am looking for something like a amd 3990x, 64/128g ram and possibly windows ten.

does anyone offer something like this? i have had a quick look and most only seem to offer windows server or they are sold out of high end servers or are uncontactable like webnx.
