Thread: Fastsh.it

Name: Fastsh.it
Speed: Unmetered 10MB/s
Support: Horrible, emails are slow and the forums are slower!
GUI: I installed torrentflux
Speed of GUI: Fast at first, slow later on.
Package: LU100 VPS
Price: $22.50
Overall rating: 1/10

First month was great. Nice download speeds and storage space for the price. Did almost a TB in that month. Turns out it was a fluke. I found out I was the first on a brand new server. These guys OVERSELL their servers by ALOT!!

Fast my butt. Now I constantly have my torrents dropping out, I cannot connect to SSH or even view my WebGUI because the server load is constantly high as hell!

08:28:31 up 3:17, 0 users, load average: 7.31, 6.35, 6.05

This is without me running any torrents or downloads! When I try to demand to get it fixed on the forums the owner Mike tells me:

"We have jobs, school & sleep. We can't bow down to your demands immediately[...] This attitude isn't welcome here and I'm not going to deal with it. You pay $22.50 for a budget VPS, not a rolls royce. If you aren't happy with the service, don't renew. Seriously, I refuse to respond to this type of bullshit in the future."




Horrible, stay far far away. You'd be better of choosing any of hundreds of other providers.

I signed this plan in two weeks, and I'm looking for another seedbox, any question or issue support orders consult the forum, saying that there are programs and answers to my questions ... How do I really understand the use of rtorrent, I asked to change his plan or else install another platform, or even helping me to use utorrent on VNC, but I found very complex, technical and I'm not lost in their facilities, ask for help, and just tell me to see the forum , Tired of all this, and I'm looking for a seedbox less complicated ... I'm in the process negociaçãocom superseedbox, hopefully it will be better, and I avoid headaches

I was looking around this weekend to see if I could find a box that would fit my needs better than my current box on Xirvik (no success- Xirvik is still the best IMHO). I ran across several people recommending FASTSH.IT, but upon closer inspection, would probably recommend that everyone steer clear of this site.

Most of the people who make a post stating that it is great end up posting again somewhere down the line that the guy is an asshole and that they regret signing up. For a good example, read any of the forum entries that Mike posts. They guy is an arrogant prick to his customers.

The site sounded too good to be true - VNC, 100GB, unlimited to $18.5 a month? Too good to be true indeed. From what I read, the servers are so overloaded that VNC access is hardly even a possibility.

I haven't had personal experience with this site, but please, do yourself a favor before you sign up, the same thing that I did. Check out the forums first and ask yourself - is this how I want to be treated when I inevitably have a problem here?

love these guys. very good servers. root access to a fast box, i was stoked.
full speed ftp 24/7 from my torrents. i consistently broke my download records with a fastsh.it box on my "unlimited" 1500k/256k adsl. my isp should cap me at 30GB/month but i was able to go up to 250GB/month. that's nothing to do with fastsh.it but i've had another seedbox that couldn't keep a ftp session open long enough to get 1 rar.

don't have it now though. i accidently forgot to pay to monthly fee so it got cut off.
when i need ratio help next i'll definately be getting a fastsh.it box.

edit:
i wanted to review this site not read other peoples. now i have i can't believe everyone hates it.

LordIcon:
so when you "to demand to get it fixed" you got a rude response? really, that doesn't make sense.
so you show his response but what was you're rude demand?
you did get the budget one though. my LU350 VPS was awesome.
SSH was fast for me. faster than one of my old servers here on 100Base-TX.

luisayres:
VNC sucks on a lan and your trying it to the other side of the world? what did you really expect?

Magnolia Fan:
nice name.
if you haven't got a box from them why are you reviewing?

Thanks but my comment was not a review. If it was a review it would have been in the proper format, as outlined in the sticky at the top of the forum. I just wanted to share what I felt... I researched this website for about an hour and wanted others to know what I found so that they could review as well before purchasing.

i used the basic plan for several months everything was ok
3 tb upload every month
ftp speeds max of my connection 500 600 kb
up speed 5 6 mbit media
down 10 mbit
about the assistance every time i needed help on their irc channel i found someone who helped me to the forum insteed it was a little slow the responces

Name: Fastsh.It
Speed: 100Mbit shared *[ see below ]
Support: 10/10
GUI: Default is with NoMachine NX, I also use rutorrent etc.
Speed of GUI: As fast as your net connection.
Package: LU250 VPS
Price: $35 USD / mo
Overall rating: 10/10

HDD: 250 GB
RAM: 1 GB
TRANSFER: Unlimited, no throttling

* The speeds I've seen are great. Of course speeds are also dependent on good swarms, keep that in mind. Here are my best speeds ever:
Best d/l speed: 8 MB/s [ 64 Mbps ]
Best u/l speed: 8 MB/s [ 64 Mbps ]
Best leech: 8 MB/s DL and 3 MB/s UL
And yes, these are all from very popular and new swarms, each very new when I added them. I take screen caps whenever I get good speeds and can have the mods here verify this if it ever comes into question.


I love the support they have given me. I am on a VPS, which you should only get if you know what you are doing in Linux. I have fucked up my box sometimes, and the support team has helped me so much. No, they will not make your complicated widget work, but when my complicated widget fucks stuff to all hell, they have always helped me get back to a working box. These are NOT managed VPS' which is probably the misunderstanding with all the poor reviews in this topic from VPS users. That means they do not install programs or provide support for any programs you choose to install.


About the GUI.
I have installed many GUIs. That's the beauty of root access on a VPS - it's YOURS. I have the rutorrent interface for torrents as well as many interfaces for other web apps [not disclosing which for security]. I chose to keep using NX instead of VNC, but the flexibility of this plan would let me install both if I wanted to.


This plan is so much more than a seedbox plan. You can serve web apps, have your own DNS server, mail server, sql server, proxy server, and even your own VPN server. How much would that cost from any other ISP? I currently am running an OpenVPN server and have not seen any lag on torrent activity while I am on the VPN.


I am a happy customer of about a year now. The fastsh.it 'community' is hot and cold but there are many tutorials and how-tos posted on the forums. And I do encourage people to check the support forums, that's what I did before I bought into this.

I came to fastsh.it after using Xirvik for 1 month. Xirvik was adequate but what they sold me as a 'semi-dedicated' server was a shared server, not a semi-dedicated server. It didn't even have SSH access. For the same price as I was paying Xirvik for a shared server, I get a full VPS from FastSh.It with the same HDD space.

This is a VPS review. I have no experience with the shared servers.
