Customer Feedback
Support response times are awesome and solutions are perfect. Many thanks to support team, Great work!
Jorma - LunecoI just thought I would take a moment to congratulate Jon and the team on such a good service. I cannot compare RackSrv to a previous vendor as this is the first time I have embarked on such a project requiring a dedicated server. Having said that, because I am new to it, a couple of issues caught me out through lack...
Philip - Metrotech Data Systems LtdBeen 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 LtdHaving had a few bad experiences with other hosting companies RackSRV are like a breath of fresh air. Their support is second to none and have even helped in areas that maybe they don't have to. What i love the most about RackSRV is their straight talking and honesty. Long may it continue!
StuartI have been using racksrv servers for gaming and the network is amazing, I have had no problems no downtime and the support has been second to none!
JamieThe experience with RackSRV has been first class from the outset. Speed of setup, professionalism of the staff has been second to none. I cannot fault RackSRV. If I had a single criticism it would be that the security getting to the datacentre is so tight, it can take a while.
MartinI moved my hosting to RackSRV 10 years ago after a friend recommended them. In that time my support tickets have always been answered instantly, any issues I've had with my website have been sorted quickly and I don't remember any downtime. Excellent service, I can't recommend this company and team en...
