News @ RackSRV

Customer Feedback

  • A1 Service with a smile! We rent 1U of space in the data center for a backup server, support tickets are always responded to and actioned quickly.

    Roland - RJG Consultancy Services Ltd

  • Been with RackSrv 4 months so far and have only good reviews. Extremely fast tickets responses, regardless of the time of day, even for pre-sales tickets. Only one downtime but was planned with several weeks notice and only 15min. Accommodating and good prices.

    William - Reactre Ltd

  • I have rented with RackSRV for quite some time now and I have had nothing but a good experience with them. Over the years I have used many hosts, but RackSRV are the very best

    Christer Emil

  • Neither Call of Duty 6 (Modern Warfare 2) nor Battlefield: Bad Company 2 support fully dedicated servers, so we no longer have any use for a dedicated box. I'd like to say though, your service has been truly excellent and I deeply regret that we cannot continue renting from you.

    Oliver

It is now a couple of months down the line and I am now looking to add a...
