[QUOTE=VisBits;22287776]I don't think its fair that you advertise USD pricing but are infact selling servers from a DC in Germany. I do however find it funny you host your main site in the states while you provide hosting for clients thousands of miles away.
I'll leave it at this, if your in Europe Fanatical is a great solution with a owner that stands by his name. If your in America then its absolutely not a good solution and is absolutely useless for game servers or low latency application. I mean no disrespect what so ever to Fanatical, I've been in this industry many years now, having a high latency when advertised locally (USD Currency) will give you bad reputation. Unhappy customers are 130% more likely to speak up than satisfied customers..[/QUOTE]
Bullshit. There's loads of hosts with server around the world selling in USD. There's one simple reason we use USD, and that's because the American market almost always uses USD based providers, I remember reading about it somewhere.
Secondly, it's pretty clear on the website that the servers are located in Germany. The site is in the US because it's free hosting, and stays online if the VPS nodes go down.

You host a website that people pay money to on free hosting? Seriously? Please tell me the billing system is not on that same server.

Free hosting + credit card processing / account management / address information. You think shared/free web hosting is secure?

It's free because it's a friends server.
Also, we don't store any credit details ourself, all payments are via Google Checkout or Paypal currently.
Please stop bashing us.
What about for Australia.

Paypal.
VisBits, you're a moron. Not everyone needs super low ping, we don't all host gameservers.
USD is used by nearly every server host because it's virtually the international currency.
I live in Australia and I have a server in New York and a VPS in Germany. The latency is shit for me, but amazing for the rest of the world. My point is, unless someone is hosting a latency sensitive application, such as a game server, server location is about where you can get good connectivity for a good price, not ping timings.

Actually if I do go with you guys, what would ping be like for a counter strike 1.6 server for uk players? Any way of telling what it may roughly be like for us beforehand?
Fizzadar I really want to use your vps, only issue is I need a server in the US.

SO if the shared hosting gets exploited and the database which has all of your emails, address and contact information get dumped into a spammers hands your ok with that?
Use your head, I didn't think I needed to babysit you through the concept, I guess I was wrong about that.
I'm a proud fanatical vps customer, and honestly, I really couldn't give a shit if my details were leaked.
Firstly, it's not going to happen - you don't know the arrangement and while I certainly don't either, if my intuition is right, it's not in any danger of exploitation.
Secondly, it's not like my details aren't already in Whois.

Oh yeah cause shared hosts don't use network security systems?
My old boss used to do smaller end server hosting and even he had an $8,000 cisco network security system.
I'm sure most larger end hosts have much better, especially shared hosts, since they cater to so many clients.
Application firewalls are about as useful as magic_quotes.

REALLYYYYYY Secure, absolutely no ip firewall detected on that server and its open for ssh hammering.
He is using WHMCS and if the attacker gains access to that database all the root passwords for Servers/VPS/Accounts are stored in raw text. That's ok, I guess you don't care if your VPS get rooted.
So about that big fancy firewall...
