Good Experience

From my past experiences of using their services and purchasing their 125% CPU Server hosting,I have had no major issues within it

The support team are great within what they do within the company with being dedicated and being able to resolve any issues of what I have had

I feel the price is very good for what you get as of the server running very well with running a SWRP Server with roughly 144 Addons on it

I would say the main thing what attracted me to this company is the Dino Panel of how it is formated and how easy it is to coordinate around it for the things I need whilst developing my server or adding new addons.

A host like no other

Where do I begin? Crident networks is simply the best host for anyone who wants to seriously commit to a community, not only do they have a responsive and beautiful custom panel (Dino panel) but they also have amazing, fast and reliable support, I would like to personally commend Jumpz as he has always been fast, responsive and helpful in all support situations. If you are looking for a host with a face and a community, Crident is the host for you.

Crident cool

I love Crident both as a company and a hosting service. The discord itself is alive with good friendly people such as Jumpz#9217 and Fursy#9118. The support for my servers have been amazing and my tickets have been answered within 12 hours. They also have a weekly stream that provides good insights into the business however this needs a revamp as the recent streams have been cancelled.

The Cost and the Average person

When I went on CridentNetworks to buy a host I knew that the cost would be a tad high for a Gmod host. I looked at its Game panel for the bright side at least. I was wrong to think that.

THE COST: CridentNetworks is a pocket drainer and should NOT be your first host. A server recommended for 30-40 Players will cost around $21 ( with discounts) to $30 without them. Already making the cost outweigh slot servers. That is not all though, If you are a Darkrp server owner or just a RP owner in general you will find yourself spending more cash! This is because they provide ONLY 30GB. This will mean you will have to upgrade to 60GB ( which is still iffy) for $2.99 which will tally up the monthly expense! Myself would need 80GB which would be $5.99. This completely outweighs slot hosting because they provide better specs and memory storage. Such as my last host providing free amount of storage and I had 80GB at the time. Other hosts do provide a higher minimum amount!

The Panel: Its game panel is nice with auto installs but from my past experience its the same thing. They include scripts you can find online without issue but the click install saves you a minute. Some nice features to help find issues. The Panel is called Dino which is their version developed off Pterodactyl. Its nice looking but holds no advantage if you are already familiar with basic gmod server ownership.

Performance: The performance is average but probably the bottom percentile out of all the hosting. Its recommended players is usually on the dot. You will start to notice your server slowing down on performance when you reach that number. They do have scripts that can help performance and an anti-crash script which you can also find online. Nothing too special in general.

The Support: Its awful and that is for kinder words. This company is based in the UK with ONLY UK support. Meaning 75% of the time you will have to wait till the next day to get an response on a support ticket. Unless you want to stay up late at night to catch the support team! Is it fair to say that I'm not the only US customer? Hiring off brand support or support in the US would help greatly to say at least. This will leave you no choice to resort to their Discord for support. Which is mostly answered by ex-customers instead of support.

Official Discord: As a US customer you will find yourself asking questions in their discord because the ticket system has been proven unreliable for answers. In the process you will find yourself with a mix bag of helpful to toxic people. These toxic people can also include their labeled "support" such as one being Jump. Never had a rundown with this "support" person but have seen it in person with others.

Final Comment: Finding a starting host is tough but CridentNetworks should not be your starter. The cost is more than average compared to other hosting sites and for my other stated reasons, If you have a strong community of more than 40-50 people then I would think about using this host but not a miss opportunity for sure.

My Rating: Bad, the host is not price efficient for the average person and Lacks on support and performance. If the prices were lower I would of said average. If the prices and performance were in a better standing along with support I would of said great but as of now their pricing is expensive for an lower average performance.

TLDR - They're amazing.

TLDR; These guys are f***ing great.

So let's first start by how innovating Crident are. They've seriously shaken the game panel with dino panel. It's insanely fast, real-time logging and beautiful. Not to mention that they're developing Crident Pay which also looks amazing. they're AMAZING at creating new and innovative tools.

Their support is also one of a kind too. I had a very quirky issue and within minutes of me asking for help, drizzy was PM'ing me assissting with everything he could do.
The issue i had wasen't to do with me or Crident (rather a 3rd party), however i decided to scrap that MySQL hosted on a 3rd party and use a Crident MySQL & it worked. drizzy's famous words "it just works".

if you're considering them, please do. Everything is easy, staff are amazing and I've never known a game panel so fast. I have been a long-time customer of theirs and will continue too.

Best server host!

Ever since I started using Crident I have just had a great experience, the Control Panel makes it feel premium and is very easy to use. The server is fast and can take a beating even with the cheapest option. I have used other hosts, but Crident has always been and will always be my favorite one.

Best garry's mod hosting.

I have had flawless experience working with Crident their support gives estimated response time and the panel is the best in the market. I highly suggest using Crident as they have cool features in their panel like backdoor scanners, advanced file search, and ability to clone and pull github resporities.

Good Host

I've used Crident a couple times before and has always been a very good host. Their support is great and the servers (almost) never lag.

Awesome, dedicated support team.

It's been a while since I've run a server - and these guys are awesome with responding to support tickets at all hours of the night - even when it's totally out of their normal operating hours.

In run a content, and script-heavy CyberPunk RP server - and this host has been monumental in making my community thrive.

The panel is quick, and easy to use, the file management system is almost instant - and the FTP is very very fast. These guys rock.

Being able to get ahold of staff through Discord is another plus, as well.

Backing up and re-deploying images, is incredibly fast.

Not paying for slots, but paying for hardware use is absolutely awesome.

As far as problems go, can't say I've ever had an issue with these guys that was on them - and when I've had issues, the support team has been quick to assist me.
