Thread: Feralhosting.com

Name: Feral Hosting
Speed: 100 Mbps Unmetered (I have tested one torrent so far and I have gotten 10 MBps download and 1 MBps up)
Storage: 55GB
Torrent limit: Unlimited
Support: Ticket system. I have yet to use their support... I haven't had any problems :)
GUI: Transmission (I use Transmission) WebUI or wTorrent WebUI
Speed of GUI: Loads within a 2-4sec from when the connection to the server is established. It takes about 5-10 seconds to load a torrent. It is very fast if you are using a Transmission remote client too.
Package: "Speed"
Price: 15 EUR (15-17 USD)/month
Overall rating: 9/10 (It could be faster)

I recommend this host to anybody who knows UNIX and its CLI environment. I find the price to be amazing for the amount of service that you get. This is my first seedbox, so I can't really compare it to anything. I don't have any complaints so far.

Well first impressions of this box are average. Speed of GUI is fast (I'm using the transmission option). Torrents load fast, haven't tried their support system yet as I haven't needed it.
As for speeds, so far I have seen a download of 22Mbps and an upload of 8Mbps. They have a guarantee of a minimum 25Mbps throughput so thats a plus but really the up speed could be a little higher for a 1Gb line. I'll update this when I've had more time to test this out.

Overall so far 6/10 seeing as upload isn't what was expected.

I think Feral Hosting is a pretty decent company. I wish it had VNC access b/c when you load a ton of torrents on the webgui it does slow down a decent amount. If you use r/w torrent its not that bad with the same amount of trackers in it b/c you can manually refresh the page instead of it doing it every few seconds.

Speeds are super fast and the ftp access is pretty quick. I use CuteFTP and have a 35mbps home connection that I can max out when d/ling to my laptop from them.

Setup was within 3 days however I did order on the weekend.

This company is superfast with communication and setup. My dedicated server was setup within 48 hours and the company e-mailed me when I placed order a few hours later that setup would take a little longer than usual b/c they had to setup the server on the rack. Speeds are what you would expect from a dedicated 100MB connection.

Once again speeds are fast as well as when using FTP transfers. I'm also able to max out my 35mbps connection when downloading with CuteFTP from the server.

i went with feral because im not a gui fan, i feel like home with ssh. i bought it yesterday with google checkout, after the payment i received account details in a couple of minutes. its a gigabit box with 9 users, a quad core machine with 8gb ram. cpu load is around 2 - which is a little high but its ok.

you can install rtorrent or transmission with a couple of clicks, though when i installed transmission cpu load increased to 4-5. anyway, infact i prefer rtorrent, but if other users choose to install transmission, server may be unresponsive.

apache is preconfigured, so you can just ln -s to your downloaded avis/mkvs and start watching them rightaway if your home connection is fast enough.

server has rsync installed, so copying folders to my laptop is easy - you can ftp or scp too, or link your apache to downloads and use wget (or your fav. download manager )

i have seen download speeds like 30M/sec, but upload was slow - i guess it was my torrents or no leechers were around, nothing about the server -

if you are a linux user or somewhat familiar to using command line on linux, its great, you can make torrents right on the server and upload and start seeding, unrar on the server etc. but if your not a shell user, well this may not be the greatest option for you.

ps: i gave 9 instead of 10/10 because server load was a little higher, and other users can easily increase the load, but for 15 quid its ok i guess. have no idea about support because i didnt need any.

They put a 1 tb limit per user after my purchase, i wqould never buy it under that conditions.

speed is awfull i had a few tickets but they say that hard drive is overloaded. That is not my problem
30 days - 3 good days, when i got those peak speeds, other days i got shit.

EDIT: it is now 6 days, still no reply for my ticket, speeds still suck and their irc channel is full of user complaining. Google checkout does not provide refund for them :(

Speed:25Mbps minimum to 1 Gbps

GUI: rTorrent/wtorrent or transmission
Speed of GUI: Very quick dependent on bandwidth being used at the time. Transmission auto-refreshes so seems more responsive due to that.

Overall rating: 9/10

Really fast connection, has helped my ratios no end, in 2 days have uploaded almost 500gb


Will install your option of rTorrent/Transmission/MySQL/OpenVPN or you can have all of them installed as I did. Extremely quick setup went from paying to downloading torrents in 10minutes. Also they aren't too strict on the 55gb as long as there is enough room overall (200gb shared). I dont know the spec of the server, but I created a torrent using WinSCP on the server and it was made far quicker than utorrent normally makes it.

Overall would highly recommend!

I also have feral hosting and have been having issues with their slow speeds. Same signs with 300kb/s down and 200kb/s upload. Before then I haven't had any issues with them till this month.

I put a support ticket in on the 30th but nobody got back to me about the slow speeds. I have used their ticket system before and have gotten quick response. Not sure why he chooses not to respond about the issue.

I also did notice the TB upload limit they just put on the accounts. So I won't be re-signing up with them again. They could just be overloaded and wanting to fix some of their connection issues.

Looks like I was just being capped.

o Total Download
o 4.88 TiB
*
o Total Upload
o 14.29 TiB

I guess I was just capped for sending too much data with the caps lol. Oh well.

Name: feralhosting
Speed: 1000Mbps
Support: 9/10
GUI: rtorrent. I couldn't figure out how to limit speeds on torrents. Why is this an issue now? because they just capped their uploads to 1TB a month ago
Speed: avg topspeed 23MB/s DL and 1-4MB/s UL. Normally i get 2MB/s UL which isn't great
Package: Power Plan (160GB)
Price: $25US (£14.99)
Overall rating: 6/10

Would have given it a 7 if it wasn't capped at 1TB
Have subscribed for a month and will leave after the second month
