I have been an HE customer for last couple of years and moving out. Few things that i realized with HE. 1) remote hands - Better not to tell them anything to do with your servers. I requested for reboot, what they did was pulled the power chord and put it back couple of times and it corrupted the RAID. 2) Sales/server - Non-existent. 3) Billing - They been very rude and i have been over billed for the last 4 months. Last but not the least, the hosting/co-location area seemed very hot ( not as i expected, since there are too many servers running). Atleast i would expect more ventilation / AC. Overall- very bad experience. Would not suggest anybody. Thanks for the information, i agree. I have been an HE customer for last couple of years and moving out. Few things that i realized with HE.

I'm not saying this is different than anyone else, I'm just saying.
