A year with Nexus Bytes

It’s been a year since I got my first server with @seriesn. I only get yearly services from reputable providers and Nexus Bytes is one of them.

I currently have 2 servers.

VPS 4G Preorder Special in Los Angeles (4GB RAM, 4 cores, 120GB NVMe)

I still feel bad for choosing a big server. I’m sorry Mark. Thank you for everything!

No network tests because I don’t want to run out of bandwith and firewall is enabled.

I used to have smaller ones but they were backup machines and they were idling too much time so I cancelled them.

Impressive Ryzen CPU, impressive disk speeds for both. Every cent spend with these servers are well paid. I haven’t had any outage I think, except for a partial network cut last month affecting the connection to another datacenter in US where I keep my databases.

I’ve opened some tickets and they have been responded in minutes at any time of the day, always ready to help. Jay even helped me in an unthinkable way when I had problems with my virtualization software. Also, it’s nice to have a personal license for Direct Admin which I’m using in Miami and, as I’ve just renewed until 2022, I’m moving LA from nginx to OLS with DA too.

They also offer ApisCP and Blesta for free. I’m planing to start building some themes for this kind of software so being a NB customer is a perfect fit.

A+. Will buy again for sure. And thank you for the memes.
