Comments on: Switching to a JVDS server http://decafbad.com/blog/2003/08/31/switched-to-jvds It's all spinning wheels and self-doubt until the first pot of coffee. Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:38:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7-hemorrhage hourly 1 By: John Burton http://decafbad.com/blog/2003/08/31/switched-to-jvds#comment-1009 John Burton Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.decafbad.com/blog/?p=471#comment-1009 <p>I had a JohnCompanies server which I was also very happy with but wanted a bit more control and space for some things as well as to run linux instead of freebsd (nothing wrong with freebsd - I just prefer linux) so I went the other way and switched up to a rackshack.net server. I had fun installing debian over the installed redhat remotely. It was a bit scary to say the least installing an operating system 4000 miles away over an ssh link but it did work... And I'm very happy with my new server.</p> I had a JohnCompanies server which I was also very happy with but wanted a bit more control and space for some things as well as to run linux instead of freebsd (nothing wrong with freebsd - I just prefer linux) so I went the other way and switched up to a rackshack.net server.

Have been very impressed with the level of service so far. Just using it for secondary dns at the moment.</p> I signed up for an account with JVDS.com the other week too.

However, my experience has been far from that. My requests (emailed to linux@johncompanies.com - is there another way?) take forever to be resolved. Once I had to call Castle (their colo provider) to get in touch with them. I'm a bit disappointed in the tech support end of things. I'm not a guru, but I know my way around and by the time I need to call tech support, I really need to call tech support.</p> “Responsiveness has been one of the most impressive aspects of JohnCompanies, since between my personal server and the servers I use at work, it tends to take less than an hour to get resolution on any problems I’ve had.”
