Performance Issues

In my honest opinion, there are many better hosts out there. I was using springracks for a few months, minimal downtime, but I was always having performance issues when I shouldn't be. I figured it was just my own fault due to the amount of mods, and players we had. Well, I swapped to a different hosting provider and my performance problems were solved. Although, i will say springracks was helpful and kind when I did need help, it does feel like I was being cheated out of performance considering I'm paying the same with my new provider as I was with the guys over at springracks.
TL;DR Springracks is very helpful, and nice staff but definitely not worth the price. I'd choose another host.

Excellent Server service and amazing staff assistance.

Great help from staff and the server runs perfectly! Not to mention how easily it is to use the panel compared to other panels. Would recommend for others! Brandon has been a big help with it all.

Would love to see a Panel Gui upgrade if possible :)

Would not recommend this host

Would not recommend this host. They go out of their way to spy on you and stalk your private activities on your Discord server. If they don’t like what they see about you, then they will ban you from using their services. I had an ImageToMap plugin that lets my players upload images to transform it into a map in Minecraft. I sent a message containing upload url on my Discord server to let players upload memes onto my server. The Springracks staff Brandon saw it. He wiped my server and banned me from their service immediately without saying a word. I wasnt given a warning or word about it. I was so scared. One hour later, he finally sent me a screenshot of my message from MY DISCORD SERVER. I had no idea he was stalking me in my Discord server on his alt account this whole time! I asked why and he said I can’t host non-MC related things. Dude, that plugin takes less than 10 megabytes. Im not using my server as a file storage. Those images were gonna be displayed as maps on my Minecraft server. This is literally a plugin I downloaded from Spigot website. Its definitely Minecraft related! If it wasnt then it wouldn’t be compatible with my Minecraft server. Now Im left with no server for my players anymore. Way to go ruin everything Springracks.

We reviewed your usage of our servers when a community member of ours alerted us of a user sharing a link to a website with our domain attached to it sharing topics that were not related to our services which violated our Terms of Services. We work close with all clients to ensure that their experience with us are positive taking in community input seriously to ensure we offer the best experience for many of our clients here. We do not tolerate crimes and the exposing of leaked DMs of a user not related to our service to be associated with our brand which violates our Terms of use.

We were not made aware that any images were being made into maps when our team member that executed your ban discussed it with you. We apologize if that was the case however the contents of the site was something that should be associated with our brand. We are not a web hosting service so any content in it must be Minecraft related which your free trial server was created for. Since there were no clear sign of it being used for a Minecraft server and more as a standalone website, it would unfortunately violate our terms of services you agreed to when using our service.

We will improve our handling of such a case like this and ensure that communication between our team and those we believed violated our rules will be made clear to ensure mistakes like violating our Terms of Services unknowingly aren't handled hastily.

Server suddenly deleted and banned for no reason

I was using SpringRack’s 3 GB server only for a couple of hours. My server was suddenly wiped and my entire account was deleted. They didn’t warn me first or tell me anything. I was just running a Paper Minecraft server with some plugins that I downloaded from Spigot. If there are some plugins that aren’t allowed, then they should’ve told me first instead of banning me right away. This is how strict they are if you download a plugin your not supposed to then they ban you immediately. The support is also very slow. It took them 5+ hours to give me my server.

We're sorry that we gave you a negative experience with us. Unfortunately we would find a user violating our TOS hosting a website that was not related to the service using a plugin to host a website (A service we do not offer as now) displaying very non-appropriate images and details that we do not want our brand to be associated with. We would terminate the Free Trial you had with us as it violated our Terms of Services.

We apologize for not communicating better with you regarding the ban and termination of your free trial server. The plugin itself is allowed to be hosted with our services, however the contents in the website was unfortunately not related to the service which violated our Terms of Services. By using the service, you agreed to not violate it which unfortunately you did violate. We will definitely will review this situation and ensure there will be a better communication between both parties if a situation like this occur again ensuring proper steps are done before such actions would proceed.

Unreliable and slow to fix issues

My experience with renting servers from SpringRacks has been highly inconsistent, veering from decent to downright disappointing. The primary issues that have tarnished my experience are the unreliability and sluggish response times. It's been frustrating to see the server experience downtime every few days, each time without any prior warning or subsequent explanation. Additionally, when we encountered a critical functionality problem on their panel the issue has remained unresolved for the better part of a week. Moreover, in the last four days alone, the service has been down three times, again without any prior notification. This lack of reliability and communication has significantly impacted my opinion of SpringRacks, leading me to rate my overall experience as 1 out of 5.

We're sorry that you had a negative experience with us. We seek to always improve our services and have made efforts to ensure that downtimes like on our Dal-02 server will not happen again. Regarding communication, we do try to communicate with all our clients and answer their questions regarding the unexpected downtime through our communication channel on Discord.

We're a small team so we apologize for not attending to your tickets and questions sooner as we were resolving the Dal-02 downtime. We do plan to expand our team in the future to ensure faster response time and will definitely improve our service to ensure you and other clients experience a better experience than what we have provided this week.

Pristine service, and support

They had excellent service, was able to help with backup related issues, and was very helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend to newer server owners due to their fast response and excellent service. They are absolutely fantastic. 5/5

I love the preformance of the servers

I love the preformance of the servers, but basic plan was really bad when I tried it out for the first time. We played on a survival server with 1 iron farm and 4GB RAM - I know that's not that much, but aternos preformed better with 2GB RAM and It constantly crashed. Although basic plan was bad when I played, it is possible that they made it stronger since. Standard Plan is just amazing.

The Support and Servers are amazing

Honestly they are very patient with people, and have such a amazing way of getting to help you no matter whats your issue. They study or just simply take the time to learn what the issue is and give you that extra hand you desperately need… Im a new server owner, and they have placed and ordered everything I need to my needs and even have taken off their day to make mine a lot better.

I would recommend talking to them first before even thinking of opening a server and let them be your guide on your way to becoming a good server Owner and as they show you and do things, You learn.

panel can be improved

Its ok but I disagree with the other guy saying theres "zero downtime" because the panel was down once. When I used them before, the panel website was giving a 500 server error. I couldn’t access the console but my server was still up. I could still play on server but I didn’t have access to my console or files for a couple hours. They need to have multiple copies of their panel and not a single point of failure if it goes down. Their panel is really plain tho and it looks generic like what other free hosters have. I miss features from other paid panels like seeing a list of online players and making permissions.

Hello,
Thank you for your review!
We actually used a load balancing for a few months for exactly the reason you mentioned above.

We found that the system was too complex and caused major issues with our billing panel connecting and allocating servers to it.

Unfortunately a few months ago, we experienced a big panel outage due to our database running out of space.

We needed some time to set things back online and we performed some changes while we were down already.
Notably, we switched to a 1 panel load balanced database solution. We now have multiple database machines located in the EU and US.

We also restructured our panel databases to be separate from our Client's Database servers.

As for the panel looking blend, we do agree that it doesn't look the best and doesn't have the best feature set in the market.

Previously, we were running on a themed panel with some cool features, but adding multiple features unfortunately leads to things breaking when new panel updates roll out.

We unfortunately do not have enough staff to complete all modifications all over again after each panel upgrade and hence we prefer to keep things simple for now.

You can expect our panel to change as we grow.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I do hope you are satisfied with the server performance as that is what our main focus is currently on.

Hosting that delivers performance at a great price

I've been using springracks for the past 4 months. I experienced zero downtimes. The performance was honestly supperb. My modded server was able to run flawlessly without any hitches. When I did run into issues on changing my startup script, support was there within minutes. I am very satisfied with the service I have with the host and hope that this continues.

Known spammers

Known spammers on Reddit to lure people into switching to their host. It’s really annoying when they do sales pitch to legitimate inquiries every single time. Seriously, their google result for Springracks is just a bunch of self produced advertisements. Don’t go with them, go with a known host like Bloom instead.

Hello,
While we do advertise our hosting service on Reddit, we do not 'lure' nor spam our advertisements.

You can easily ignore them and go for known hosts if that is what you wish. We do not self produce reviews. If you have time, you can easily speak with our community about their experience.

We don't blame you for not trusting our host as it is still new. But we hope that you keep mutual respect for all parties involved.

Reviews are made based off of actual experience; not out of spite for annoying you on reddit.

While all of the above is true, we gladly invite you to try us out and see for yourself what it's like.

Thank you!

Springracks is definitely not it

I've got mixed feelings about SpringRacks. The features they offer are tempting, and when it's working, it's an OK experience. Their panel can be counter intuitive, especially the reinstall server that could mean different things, specially for an old dad like me whose not too tech savvy. But then, there's the downtime. The support is not as stellar as I'd hoped but they get the job done. The pricing is competitive and for someone on a budget, it can be the deal maker. Yet I did face a hiccup with their billing and I had to reach out to fix it. It got sorted, but it was an unnecessary hassle. If your willing to trade off some consistency for affordability SpringRacks is for you. But if your seeking perfection use something well known.

Hey there!
Thank you for your honest review. We are constantly trying to improve our service and making sure it stays reliable.

We are taking note of your complaints about the reinstall function.
We will likely add a function description as to what it does in the future.

Our features are still lacking compared to other hosts, usually due to the lack of mod pack installers and plugin installers. However we assure you that they will be added to our panel very soon!

You also mentioned that our support was lacking. We are constantly trying to improve on our responses to make sure they are complete and informational.

If you would like to share with us on other ways to improve, we will gladly take them into consideration.

Thank you again for trying us out!

Promising, but not good enough

Man I really, REALLY, wanted to like SpringRacks, but it just wasn't good enough. The pricing was very good, which is what drew me in initially. I wanted to stay because the support was really good, but part of the problem was how often I needed it. Multiple issues with the server not starting that could only be resolved through support. Additionally, the server would not be able to run for more than 2 or 3 days without shutting itself off and needing to be manually restarted. While frustrating, I was willing to deal with this due to good pricing and super solid support, until my world was deleted. Payment is manual, not auto renew. After forgetting to renew due to schooling, the server was suspended after 3 days. This was my fault alone, and don't blame them for that. However, the policy is that there is only 7 days to rectify the situation until all data is permanently deleted. Compared to many other hosts, this is a really short period of time. I didn't realize until it was too late. So I recommend to just go with a slightly more expensive but bigger hosting company to save yourself the headaches.
