We take the level of customer service and technical support we offer very seriously and in turn most of our reviews are highly positive. Unfortunately, due to continuous abusive and threatening behavior toward our staff we have disallowed you from communicating with our staff over the phone or live chat. Most recently you have have used slurs toward our staff while also threatening to dox them and establish fake accounts in order to lower our positive review status. We have now informed you that you are no longer welcome at Hivelocity and will need to find a new provider. We hope you find peace and wellness in 2022.

This Company = Bottom Feeders

From my experience, Hivelocity is heavily used by spammers and scammers. I've been harassed by people using their servers for months now and they don't give a crap despite the many times I've asked.

The support team is worthless. They just keep saying "resolved" via email even though they show no evidence of resolving it.

Reality check for those incompetent turds running support - if the customer who is breaking your terms of service is still breaking them and using your service to spam and harass people, it's not actually resolved.

Our abuse dept typically runs a pretty tight ship and reacts to abuse complaints swiftly. We have tens of thousands of servers in our data centers and have a duty to our customers to keep our IPs clean (which they are). However, with tens of thousands of dedicated servers we deal with and react to abuse cases every day. You will find that of the few negative reviews we have, most are from network abusers that we have taken offline. If you have a specific issue you would like us to address please email abuse at hivelocity dot net and will react accordingly.

Support is really bad

Support is really bad. I asked a simple question that was supposed to take 5 minutes and it took almost an hour. They keep throwing it in my face that free support is just 30 minutes. I'm unhappy with Hivelocity.

If free support were good, I would happily pay for paid support. But this is not the case. I always have a headache with your support, so much so that there was a problem with the HD and support did something wrong, I lost customers and you gave me a discount on an invoice as an apology. It would be better for you to train your support instead of making excuses.

You have requested our assistance 95 times in 3 months. You have a “self-managed” server. We offer “managed services” for $35. We have assisted you 95 times free of charge. Based on the amount of questions and frankly the technical level of questions you are asking you really need managed services. While I wish we could, we do not provide unlimited tech time and assistance to our customers, especially when they opt to manage the server themselves. That is not what you are doing.

I found your account. The issues you faced with us, and likely the other 36 hosts you have given a 1 star review to, are due to you lacking proper SysAdmin skills. You locked yourself out of the server due to the firewall. We attempted to help you numerous times. Anyhow, good luck with your future endeavors.

This is the worse hosting provider bar…

This is the worse hosting provider bar none.
They absolutely are a destroyer of small businesses.
They claimed our server was sending SPAM and when we offered to prove to them that based on our email logs, they refused such offer of facts and instead in 2 Hours after sending us such notice they disconnected our server. And if that is not horrible enough they also refuse to give you access to your server that they have disconnected to allow you to download your data such as even your emails and instead they Steal all your data and intellectual property.
They should be avoided at all cost :(
In 20 Years of being in the Internet business and hosting Sites, I have never seen such a horrible company. Such a Big business that relished in destroying small businesses at will without any regards for facts and :(

The customer acquired a self-managed dedicated server from us. We received dozens of SPAM complaints including complaints from upstream provider NTT. Customer's server resulted in a /24 IP range getting black listed. We filed abuse complaints with the customer who refused to take action and said they were "fake complaints". We provided full headers of the SPAM emails. After no action and further complaints we had to take the server offline as is our policy. We typically do not put abusive servers back online. We have no interest in customer's intellectual property. Our interest is in protecting our network from RBLs. The last thing we ever want to do is take a paying customer offline, it is the complete opposite of the business we are in. However, we have to consider our network and protecting our thousands of other customers who rely on us to provide them with a clean network.

If every datacenter were like this ...

I have been a Hivelocity customer for over 5 years, I have some dedicated servers with them, and I have already referred Hivelocity to friends and customers. We are all very satisfied, Hivelocity is proof that it is possible to deliver high quality service every day of the year, with 100% uptime on the network, including during storms and hurricanes, already faced in the Florida data center, with no downtime recorded on our servers. Friends of Hivelocity, keep it up, you are the best.

Exceptional Service

I especially appreciate the very personalized service. In a business like this it is very easy to sign someone up, turn them on, and then make customer support as difficult to obtain as possible. Not the case here. Everyone I have ever dealt with at HiVelocity in our decade of business there has treated me like they really are personally concerned that I am successful in our business objectives. Outstanding!

Superb support

The support (billing and technical) team have been superb. The team has always provided solutions and understood us with our issues when there was one.

Ever since your expanding of…

Ever since expanding of datacenters, the quality of support has depreciated. Often too many times you get a response that makes it seem like they did not even read what you said. That was a big reason why I choose Hivelocity a few years ago. While the servers are still great (minus some issues attaching images using IPMI), support has room for improvement. I have faith things will get better as they are constantly working on their systems. Since I have started hosting with them they have implemented an API and modernized their control panel. In the end, Hivelocity is still the best datacenter around but I would just like to see support how it was 2 years ago too.
