Ihostart Opiniones 

I only use <1TB but for the price

Centurion, Gauteng-GP, South Africa. The download and upload speeds are generally quite high, averaging around 1254.95 Mbps for downloads and 996.31 Mbps for uploads.

People upset are crazy I would never give a small company more then a few $100USD for any kind of service..

My review got tagged Months later as AI so I'm reposting no problems at all with this service!

lost all data in all his services

I paid for a VPS service through their crypto payment flow, but the invoice remained marked as UNPAID and the service was not credited/activated.

I contacted support and provided the payment details, but I have not received a meaningful resolution so far.

The company information around iHostART is also confusing. My invoice identifies the payee as:

INTERNET MAGNATE (PTY) LTD
Reg. No.: 2024/486795/07
Address: 1 Bondev Drive, Gauteng, South Africa

However, public records and trust profiles also link ihostart.com / iHostART to the Romanian company:

MAN HOSTING GMB H SRL
CUI: 44507600
Registration no.: J2021000999208
EUID: ROONRC.J2021000999208
Address: Str. Tudor Vladimirescu 60, Orăștie, Hunedoara, 335700, Romania
Publicly associated website: ihostart.com

I am posting this so other customers are aware: if you pay with crypto and the invoice is not credited, there may be no normal chargeback option.

I have the invoice, transaction details, screenshots and support history available as evidence, but I am not publishing personal or payment-identifying information in this public review.

I will update this review if iHostART manually verifies the payment, credits the invoice, or issues a refund.

Until then, I cannot recommend using them, especially with crypto payments.

scammers i bought a vps 1 week ago now my vps dont work also their website dont work scammers

Very good prices for storage VPS, and unlike most seedboxes/storage servers they use KVM virtualization so I can host whatever I want. Network definitelly could be better and they do CPU overselling (often 30-60% steal on htop), but for that price can’t really expect better CPU performance.

Good service, reasonably fast and cheap. They do tend to have more downtime than most hosts which is due to frequent DDoS attacks against them, and the CPU steal is a bit high (the node I'm on is currently hovering around 3% steal while I'm using 20% CPU), but it's not unworkable. Getting a TB of storage and 20 TB bandwidth for about $40 per year is a very good deal despite some minor faults.

The owner is also flexible and open to negotiation. I was able to trade off some storage space to get some extra bandwidth.

While not a bulletproof host, they are very understanding about privacy and they allow running Tor exit nodes which tend to bring in abuse complaints.

Absolutely horrible experience. Uploads consistently less than 10 Mb/s, sometimes in the Kb/s range. Constant downtime masked as "maintenance" so that they can report it as uptime. Literally takes seconds at times to type a single character on the command line via ssh. There's always some elaborate excuse when the servers go down. 0/10 AVOID

This is a scam. Since the beginning the connection to the servers was sometimes there, sometimes not but now, after 2 months of using them, my server is not accessible for more than a week. I cannot even get my files from there.

If it's possible to do -69 rating, I'll do it. I'm done with this Romanian basement hoster bastards

He is a scammer! We paid $22.5K for a big order and he scammed us saying the bank seized the funds and not refunding us now!!!

I have a special offer Storage VPS there. It was a preorder and it arrived much before the limit, which is good. Only problem I have is uptime. It does start automatically, but the time it's down is very long. If you want to host something serious, I don't recommend going with this provider because of uptime. It can be down multiple times a day, which can be irritating. I would buy again, when one time in 2 months they restock 3-4 storage vps...

Edit: Now , uptime is pretty solid (enough for me)

I am using their "VPS KVM SSD".

Firstly, I can say their pricing is Great.
iHostArt is bulletproof VPS provider with affrodable pricing.
As you know, bulletproof VPS are expensive.
But iHostArt is not. They are very cheap.

Secondly, the performance of KVM SSD is GOOD.
I did not tried storage vps so I can't say about Storage VPS
However the KVM SSD is great.

Thirdly, I am hosting FastPanel on the KVM SSD and I tried to send and receive emails to me. It was very fast(sent:6-10s rece:10~16s | tested with gmail)
It's great option for self host emails too.

Fourly, the Bandwidth of KVM SSD is limited.
but it's enough, It is affrodable and cheap VPS, I cannot request more for same pricing.

Lastly, This is very nice VPS provider.
I can recommend this.

For someone giving bad reviews to him, You should look into others and check the difference of pricing and their limitation, policy.
and I trust ihostart.

The worst service ever. The admin contacted me on Skype and we agreed on a VPS $50/month, then after 3 days he deleted the credentials for the server on Skype (Where we were talking) and suspended the server without any notice
Stay away from this hosting service, the owner is just a scammer

Never had such a bad experience, sad.
Didnt got delivered in over 6 Weeks what i paid for.
So i waiting since severel weeks for my refund.

The VPS is kinda crappy but that is to be expected for less than 50¢ a month.

Good price. Rather poor performance.

Service cannot be managed directly via WHMCS, the provided Proxmox interface offers only very limited possibilities, network and memory are very slow and every time I tried to start a proxy on the system again there were new problems with IPv4, IPv6 or the network in general.

Delivery/server prevision is a bit slow, usually takes 1 day, but besides that the servers work as advertised and owner is really friendly and helpful. I experienced a few downtimes but it was fixed quickly. I totally recommend giving it a try.

Absolute scammer. Charged me 1.6K USD for 10 dedicated servers with 1Gbit/s port. Didn't deliver anything for 3 months, and was told I'd be provided a refund. 3 more months later and now the owner is claiming the servers were delivered. Do NOT deal with this guy.

Scammed for dedicated servers and openly admits it don't buy site always down and no compensation is given
