REVIEW TIME:
So I have 2 VPS with ShapeHost for about 5 months now and they have been great. Absolutely beast in terms of performance and uptime. I have had many VPS services before and I must say these guys can easily blow everyone else out of the park.
About support. I think I'm one of those "dumb" customers who really need lots of help and over the course of 5 months, I have used the servers to their full extend. I use one as a dump basically to install try-outs, test out softwares that I think might have viruses, and sometimes the servers got totally disconnected because of me. AND every single time I submit a ticket, the support staffs get back to me in less than 12 hours. As a matter of fact, many of my tickets get responded in less than 3 hours. I don't know about you guys, but to me, get answered in less than 3 hours is fantastic. And my problems get resolved in less than 12 hours too.
So yea, all in all. I think ShapeHost deserves a solid 10/10 from me. There's nothing to complain really. The way I abuse their server, I would think they might kick me out anytime, but I'm still a customer and a very happy customer at this time.
PS: I am not an affiliate of ShapeHost in any way.

A few q's before pulling the trigger since I'm new to windows vps. I asked on site, but no reply yet (asked over weekend to be fair)
1) Is there any downside to vm vs other option, like does it eat into the ram, or anything like that?
2) I think I can do everything I need on server 2008, but if I turn out to be wrong, and need to start over and switch OS, is this a simple and free process?
3) I'm replacing 8 old pc's running at my house, one application at a time. I will likely add more instances, but if I decide to upgrade or downgrade any particular instance, is it prorated? How so?
4) What exactly does "up to" 1Gb/s mean, and how can I test it? Is it a shared connection with others on that server so their use could eat into my bandwidth?
5) Looking at Windows option with 4 cores and 8Gb ram. I see a US. option for location, but nothing anywhere on site with more detail. Does this mean there is a US physical location for the server? If so, where in US?
thx

Hello,
1. No, there is no downside when it come to resources/performance. Only downside that you don't have VNC with VMware so you can control everything.
2. Yes, that is right.
3. You can upgrade from your account anytime you want, it is a pretty easy process.
4. The connection is per server yes, most of the time you can somewhere above 700-800 MBps, but it happens to get only 500 MBps.
5. Right now all our US spots are taken. We have Canada, which makes no difference when it comes to latency/speed.
Thank you

Actually, with me in S. Florida, depending on Canada location, it could be more than a few thousand miles away. Proxies are all across US including Miami.
Where is the US location, and any chance they will be adding servers that could provide the 8GB ram, 4core windows option?

Hello,
We can't guarantee you a certain date when we'll have US spots again. Send me a PM with your Skype and I can let you know when this happens.
Thanks

For VPS Square you can get double the features. After the purchase, post here the transaction ID and you get double.
Your ticket have been solved and you have been refunded. I am really sorry, but Paypal does this some times... Everything is solved now. Thank you!
There isn't any secret about this, ShapeHost went live on 1st January this year. Before that we've been into live streaming and web hosting industry for about 4 years. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
