Verdict :

I signed up and from day one i regret it with a Capital R. I couldn't cancel service from day 14 - one day shy of the policy because 5 of those days the server was down. I am constantly reverifying my Google sitemaps, I am exhausted. I can not for the life of me find one email of support except for sales to get a live person to answer an email. Can you believe - to just answer an email, there's not one live email address. For those thinking about joining, your business is at stake. For casual service, think again. They got something to hide. They have a local office and the telephone number is also unlisted. from Houston to Germany.....not one telephone number. Everything else is a bot mail. You've been warned.

Okay. To sum up what I am about to say about Servage.net; Do Not Purchase Anything From Servage.Net!!!

Here are my reasons

Pros

- 510gb space 5000tb bandwith woow!
nothing else!

Cons

- Bandwith And Storage Space Lie -

- you will Not get 510gb space and 5000tb bandwith. It Is a Lie. Your account will be suspended when you reach around 20gb bandwith, WItHOUT Any NotICE!
- Once your account is suspended, removal Will take about 4 days.
- and once they remove the suspension on your account you Will still have problems. Like on my site, I had a huge problem with the images. Html images were not loading fully on page load. you needed to refresh the page multiple times to get the entire page view correctly.

so don't get fooled by their overselling policy 5000tb bandwith, It Is Not True.

- DoMAIN Name -

- you won't get a yourdomain.com for Ftp or for email server, it will always be servage.net

- Incompetent Idiots At Ticket Support System -

- First of all you won't get a straight answer to your question at the first time you ask a question. I am repeating again, you Never get a satisfying answer at first, you have to ask in a different way!!! sometimes it takes me around 10 question before get an answer to my actual question.

- DAtABASE -

- At least once a Day you will get mysql database connection error! at least once a day I am REPEAtING. Now tell me how can you manage a e-commerce-like site on a server like this. imaging your client will have a mysql connection error when they click on the purchase button. Chaos!!!

- my account sites uptime-

- Your sites will be inaccessible at least 5-10 times a week, and you can't do anything about it. only thing you will get from ticketing system will be moronic answers.
you will lose customers,
you will look ridicule to your clients.

- I only purchased for 14 months, but they kept on giving me free months, because i complained a lot. so my account will be active 3 more months. but i don't care even if they give me 2 years for free, i am going elsewhere once it is finished!

I can keep on going here. but anyway hope you guys get the point.

No No!
Do Yourself A Favor Do Not Choose Servage

Servage is (and really soon was...) my first experience in web hosting.
I can easily say that talking to their tech support is like having a conversation with a 1970's programmed A.I. The same questions and solutions are beeing said over and over again (since several people treat you tickets).
The main reason I'm looking for another web host is because the speed download reached abysmal performance these last weeks ( below 25kB/seconds)
According to their tech support, "everything's going fine on our side, please check with your ISP"...

I think this explains it all : )

Verdict :

I think there's a bit of pot-luck finding a good cluster - if someone has a monster site, it can drag everyone else's site down too.

I've been very lucky - I run reasonably complex PHP scripts all over my site - and at the most they take 0.7 seconds to complete, but usually more towards the 0.07 seconds side of it. And I'm doing on-the-fly Gzip compression of my website HTML too - that's fairly demanding also.

But Servage's server specs are very good - 12GB RAM/machine sounds good :-) Things are as blazing fast as anything with them.

I don't have any problems with their online file manager, site builder software, or WebDrive - because I don't use those. I use Evolution or Thunderbird for e-mail, FileZilla for FTP, and I write my own code using Gedit (notepad with syntax highlighting for Linux).

FTP is always very fast too.

Support e-mails do sometimes appear a bit rushed (spelling mistakes, grammar) but they do the job, and they're fast to reply, which is sometimes more important. I've only had to contact them once anyway, and the problem was my fault.

They're the best host I've used yet, and the price is right!

Ok here's it is, servage.net started out just fine.
One day all of a sudden my sites (3 of them) became inaccessible, it lasted about 3 days. I sent millions of tickets with questions, but it is funny that none of the answers I got pertains with any of my questions. It is like I am talkin about Paris Hilton's jail sentence, they talkin about War on IRAQ. but yes what happened is that, after three days of battling they admitted that my account was suspended due to excees bandwith usage (and no it was way below the allowed bandwith). and finally my sites became available again after about 4 days, Imagine this!

second big think, as I've been experiencing at this very moment, as I am writing this, and it still hasn't been resolved. Almost the same issue as above. pages don't load properly, images almost don't load at all, and yes this is same in all my web sites. It's been like 2 weeks already and nothing changed!

here's an example screnshot of one of my domains hosted at servage.net(vknyvz.com)

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3168/capturefv2.jpg

imagine how pissed you would be, 2 weeks and no fix, still no fix!

SERVAGE.NET? THIS IS A NO-NO, STAY AWAY FROM THEM, DON'T GET FOOLED BY THEIR PRICES, MONEY DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING, COZ HOSTING SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK 24/7 365, AND FINALLY DON'T GET FOOLED BY THEIR HARD DISK CAPACITY OF 360GB (i currently have 410gb) BUT I AM ASKING YOU WHAT'S THE USE?...

Hello Servage,

I have already moved out all my business out of Servage , after 2 years of nightmare experience with you. I'm sure other customer does, since your ready to give whatever cupon just to hold me. Too late guys. But before I leave, some feedback for your managers and directors, maybe they will reconsider their business before it will die.

First, maybe is good to mention as backbround I'm working in customer support of >10 years, and company I'm working for is one of the largest in the world in telecommunications (> 50000 employees). Second, the website hosted with you, I supported in my free time for a non profit community.

Overall: Servage was by far the worst hosting experience I had in last 10 years. Reasons below:

1) Customer support: Never had a competitive answer. Always vague, useless and helpless. Servage, get some professionals there, your guys can do probably cookies but not hosting support. They just suspended some e-mail functions several times and basically blocked this business. You never cared about customer business and business impact of your actions. I several times asked to be provided with a prove and reasons, and except once, every time you failed.

2) Suspended functions: You blocked functions I'm paying for without at least letting me know! Unbelievable. I had to get customer complains they don;t receive e-mail anymore to find out. I told you this twice, asked to speak to your supervisor, I've always been ignored. You simply don;t care.

3) Your slowness and oversubscription. My clients needed sometimes 5-20 sec to load the homepage. It was regularly during evening. I raised cases with you, you moved the account on different servers, but NO improvement. You were simply playing with me to keep me busy. I even had a 3rd party host monitoring software enabled for 1 month, and ready to provide you with results (>20 sec access time in evenings!!!), you never care about them. I even wonder if you poor support guys would even understand them.... I can tell my new host is 100 times better than you. And price is double, think about it. I guess you practice heavy oversubscription and those hundreds on Gigs exist on in your and some customer imaginations. But you link speed sucks... Useless to have tons of space & bandwidth if you can't use them.

Guys, I'm happy I'm out and wish you will wake up sooner than later. Nothing personal, but just honest feedback. These are my last 10 min I spent with Servage, and hope the most productive in my experience with them.

Adio Servage!

This company is a joke. You cannot call anyone or contact anyone important. Dealing with their customer service is extremely painful as they do not actually address your concerns or even read your email. They have very unreliable statistics that make no sense.

SERVAGE.NET UNILATERALLY BREACHES THE TOS.

While they induce you to enter into the TOS with them by offering lots of bandwidth and storage space, they invent arbitrary restrictions on traffic mentioned nowhere in the agreement. You won't know about these until you reach a few thousand uniques, at which point they shut your site down quickly and with very little warning.

DO NOT USE SERVAGE.

Verdict :

Servage have several unusual features, not all of which are obvious until you've been with them a while, so I thought a review that concentrated on these features might help.

Summary
Pros: Lots of features for a reasonable price, including unusual ones like clustered (redundant) servers and storage for offsite backups. No silly limits. Simple and effective anti-spam system and webmail. Cons: Poor support, sloppy maintenance, no secure shell, no backups, no FrontPage server extensions, no log files, difficult migration.

Features and value
Servage is a European host offering just one simple shared-hosting package with no options, costing £4.50/month in the UK (14 month package). Currently that includes a free domain, a generous 360 gigabytes of storage and 3600 gigabits/month of data transfer, 1000 mySQL databases and unlimited addon domains, subdomains, mailboxes, ftp accounts and mailing lists. It's possible to find similar features for half the price or for twice the price, so I guess that makes them mid-range. They don't offer dedicated hosting or reseller accounts.

If you're anywhere near those usage limits you will probably be using more CPU time than any shared-hosting provider could allow anyway, so in a sense the limits are irrelevant. Illegal content, IRC servers and spam are forbidden, but otherwise there are few other restrictions - for example, adult content and media archives are allowed.

Domain registrations and SSL certificates are also available but are not cheap. They used to offer an "Eco-hosting" option but that has been withdrawn. There's a worthless "Website Builder" and a "WebDrive" utility that doesn't work included. There's only a 5-day money-back guarantee, which is ludicrously short. If you want a trial, purchase the minimum 3 month membership. There's a referral scheme which gives you two months of free hosting for every new referred customer. An unusual feature is that SMS alerts can be purchased for new e-mails and other warnings.

Clustering
Servage hosting is "clustered", which means that your web pages will be held on several identical machines, any one of which can fail or become overloaded without greatly affecting the others, in theory. Mail and databases are served from separate redundant machines as well. Most hosting companies have redundant network connections and power supplies, but at Servage nearly everything is redundant, which is an excellent principle.

In practice, I still experience occasional timeouts or even loss of service almost every month, but less frequently than at previous hosts and on the whole I think clustering is a great idea. It does have some disadvantages, though:

. No log files. This means no webalizer or awstats. Basic statistics (recent hits, referers and search terms for the last week) are available in the control panel, but you will probably want to install something like "tracewatch" for more comprehensive data. Data generally needs to be stored in databases rather than simple "flat" files. Debugging scripts can be difficult without error logs.

. No secure shell (SSH). This means you can't directly run installation and patching scripts, search files, add PHP plugins, zip up whole directories or copy them to another server, set arbitrary CRON jobs and so on. You can ask support people to do all this for you, but this takes days and is error-prone. One big benefit though is that other inexperienced or selfish users can't slow down your server or hack your pages so easily. After bad experiences at hosts that allow SSH access, I'm beginning to think it's better not to allow it anyway.

. Propagation delays. Configuration changes such as password-protecting a directory or disabling PHP "safe mode" can take up to 3 hours to take effect, which can be frustrating.

Storage
Servage are unusually generous with storage space and actually encourage you to use it for external storage of personal files. Most other shared-hosting companies prohibit or restrict this - a common limit is a maximum of "50,000 inodes". This may seem like a lot, but I found that common installations like phpBB or Gallery can use thousands of files each, quickly reaching the limit. For me, this is one of Servage's best features.

Apparently, allowing large numbers of small files can cause backups to fail, but Servage do NOT perform backups so maybe that's how they can allow this. This does mean that you have to be careful to keep your own backups though.

Support
Servage claim to offer 24/7 support (e-mail only) with an average response time of 20 minutes and 96% customer satisfaction, but that has not been my experience. In fact, they told me they measure response time only up to their first response, which is a classic example of a bad metric driving the wrong behaviour. Responses are often "brain-dead" (sometimes comically so) and they don't read the history so discussions go around in circles. Problems typically take half a dozen messages and a couple of days to solve - they took more than a week just to unzip my transferred files for me. Their English is poor and it can be EXTREMELY frustrating trying to get them to acknowledge a problem. There's no user forum. There is an FAQ system but it is full of obvious errors and typos (as is their website) - sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

I would rate their support "very poor", except that they're always polite and they do solve really simple problems quickly so I'll make it just "poor". Definitely an area they could improve.

Reliability
The most common problem I've experienced is intermittent page timeouts. You try to load a page, and about one time in ten there's a pause for about a minute, then you get a white screen (in Firefox). If you press F5 the page then loads quickly. They moved me to a new server (all sites down for 12 hours but otherwise quite a smooth move) and the problem went away for several days, then it returned and I raised a ticket and a couple of days later it went away again. At the moment it's OK. I've also experienced continuing intermittent SFTP problems and I couldn't get WebDrive to work reliably at all (probably a related problem). I've heard anecdotally that mySQL connections sometimes fail but my sites are low-traffic "hobby" sites and I haven't noticed this.

Looking at the tickets I've raised (more than one a week) I've experienced random problems such as extra characters appearing in filemanager edits and messages sent by sendmail, subdomains suddenly not resolving, the server time being wrong by 7 minutes, sudden inability to add a particular domain or a mail forwarder, mySQL imports not working, smtp mail failure and a database corruption, all within the last couple of months. Some of these do indicate poor testing and sloppiness by the people who maintain the servers, which is an area I think they could improve. Not long ago they suffered a total power failure, which is pretty inexcusable for a hosting company these days.

Spam filtering and mail
Servage don't offer the usual SpamAssassin (it probably wouldn't work on clusters) or procmail but they do have the surprisingly effective "greylisting" system. This initially refuses unknown mail with a temporary rejection. Legitimate mail servers retry 10 minutes later and the mail is then whitelisted. Spammers rarely retry like this and are blocked. I would have thought all those "botnets" would retry and get through, but apparently they don't (yet!) because it works pretty well. The only disadvantage is the initial 10-minute delay, which is occasionally annoying. There's also a system called "FMX" and a "validation" system and whitelists and blacklists that can be used for spam filtering.

The webmail system (Squirrelmail) has two unusual features. The first is that it uses standard ports (80 or 443) rather than the non-standard 2095 that cPanel uses, which often gets blocked by corporate firewalls. The second is that it incorporates a Bayesian spam filter that I have found to be extremely effective - better than 99%, with almost no false positives. I wish all hosting companies used this.

Mail forwarders can be set up, but only to 5 destinations (unless you "chain" them), which is a bit restrictive - not big enough for a typical committee, for example. There is a mailing list feature that could be used for larger groups, but it only handles "announcement" lists. If you want to set up a "discussion list" like mailman (receiving messages from e-mail, not just a web form) you will have to install something like Dada Mail. This works, but messages can take over an hour to send because they rely on a CRON job and the maximum CRON frequency is hourly (using 24 "daily" jobs set at different times!). The mail sending limit is a generous 100 messages a minute.

Control Panel
Standard panels like cPanel won't work with clustering and Servage have written their own. It's nice and clean though and has most of the usual features.

There's no Fantastico, but there is an equivalent system to help with script installation. It doesn't do upgrades or deinstallations and doesn't support quite as many applications as Fantastico but it works.

The file manager has some strange limitations - for example, you can't copy files, you can only move them (presumably to avoid CPU load) and you can't edit a file unless it has a .txt or .html extension, but it works.

Subdomains can be anywhere - they don't have to be directly under the root of the main domain. Settings like "safe mode" and "register_globals" can be configured differently for each domain, which is convenient.

Frontpage server extensions are NOT supported, despite the claim on their website. You can use FrontPage in FTP mode, but it takes a LONG time to find the changed files on a large site. FrontPage extensions cause a lot of problems so they've probably made the right decision to abandon them, but their advertising should be more honest here.

Migration
Migrating to Servage took significantly more effort than usual. I had to zip up my files and ftp them over, then wait several days for support to unzip them. I had to manually re-enter more than 100 mail forwarders (their control panel can't import filters) then change the nameservers of all my domains. I had to manually recreate all my databases, and find and change all configured path references (no longer just "localhost" or "/usr/bin"). I had to modify my sites and editing environment to cope with the absence of FrontPage extensions. I had to find and install suitable replacements for mailman and awstats. I had to raise several tickets to get misconfigurations corrected. It could have been a lot easier.

To all out there who have a 5 page static webpage and all so happy with servage, congratulation.

To the rest, who, indeed need to WORK with a host, a simple suggestion, don't even look at sergage.net

I have a serious problem regarding "RECEIVING" email at servage's "WEBMAIL" (which is just the tip of the iceberg). The problem is I have Chinese clients sending me mail in -YES - CHINESE language. Every other mail client you can configure these days to read GB2313 (Chinese characters) ... Servage - NO. Worse - it took me 12 tickets arguing with servage because they blamed anyone else, trying to take me for a rodeo, hoping to shake me off, talking about someting I never mentioned etc, etc, before they FINALLY admitted.

I know - people have MBA's these days in masses and they are all EXPERTS ... in what? Misleading and misguiding etc.

End of story - Servage get's a 0 out of 5 and a big warning to others - think more than twice.

Verdict :

As far as shared hosting goes, Servage is not a bad choice. I've been with various other shared hosting companies, and Servage is by far the best one I've been on.
Keep in mind that ALL shared hosts have hidden system settings (max # of hits, etc...). Servage will not fit everyones needs, as they have many more restrictions than most. Examples would be - daily max hits = 400,000 or max hourly mysql updates = 20,000
Basic websites & simplistic websites with little traffic will run nicely here (as with just about any shared host). You CANNOT rely on shared hosting companies to run largely trafficed websites or very complex server intensive sites & to do such then call them a bad host is idiotic.
Overall, Servage is a nice shared host if your site's needs fit their plan.

One day. I lasted one day. And I'm cutting my losses. I wish I had read these reviews before I forked over my money. The people giving them all those fives must have never had any problems. To be fair, they did fix my first problem. I sent a test email to the site to see if it was up, never arrived. Came back undeliverable. I submitted a help ticket and they had it fixed in about two hours. Okay.

Included with the deal is Website Builder and this should have been my first tip off, as it comes with zero help or documentation. There are about a dozen tutorials, on their site, but they are really simplistic, little more than "To save your page, click the Save button." To make a long story short, what I was getting on the program was not showing up in the preview or the website. I submitted another help ticket, which still has received a reply.

I messed around with it some more to no avail. Finally I sent another ticked asking if they could recommend other software. They replied to this one, saying they were sorry but, no, they couldn't.

I sent an email to the company, telling them their newest customer was unhappy, came back undeliverable.

Adios, Servage.

I am having a couple of sites with Servage Hosting from past 18 months and there is no real issue as described. I too used to face some problem with PHP & MySql but after their latest upgrade of PHP v5.2.1 and MySQL v5 it’s all good.

The advantage of being hosted with servage.net is that I have not seen my site down since long time thanks to their clustered servers.

So it just suggests that they cannot be termed as a bad hosting company.
