About 4 months ago I moved to Zone.net after looking for a good fully managed VPS provider because I didn’t have the time to manage my old VPS due to University and other things such as laziness .
The main reason that I chose them over other VPS providers was that they had a very nice special on of 15% off for the life of the account which does add up if you are planning to use the VPS for the next year or so.
The other thing that I really liked about Zone.net was the hardware that they used because I have always liked a node that has some serious firepower behind it i.e. like with zone they have “Dell Dual Processor x Quad Core PowerEdge Servers” using “Dual HW RAID-1/10 SA-SCSI 15K RPM Disk Arrays” which is probably the best hardware I have seen used in the VPS industry and will defidently give me some good page load times.

The plan I got with them was the VM400 (now the XVM400 plan because the hosting packages have been changed around a bit). The main sites that I have hosted with them are www.spudmud.com and www.bakie.net and also about 8 other smaller ones.

Setup and configuration
When I ordered the plan from Zone.net it only took them 4 hours to setup my account which in my experience is above average. Once the VPS was setup I needed all of my sites moved from my old VPS to my new VPS and all I had to give the support staff was my login details and they did everything else for me within hours and without a single hickup.
I also requested some software to be installed and configured to my specifications i.e. Imagemagick,ffmpeg etc and they did this very professionally and to my specifications.

Performance
Once all of the sites were moved and the domains had propagated I got to fully take my VPS for a spin and it sure as hell was a dream to drive. All of my pages had very low page load times and with my previous VPS I had noticed a slight increase of load times at peak times (8-12pm GMT) but with my new VPS from Zone.net I saw no increase at all. This is all probably due to the excellent hardware used.

Support
Every ticket that I sent to the Zone.net support staff is normally responded to in under 10 mins and under 2 hours at the latest but I have only sent around 6 tickets so its probably not the best thing to go by for and accurate reading for response time.
As I have stated previously the support staff are very experienced and professional and have so far done a very good job of managing my server.
There has been 2 issues where phpMyAdmin hasn’t worked due to an auto-update in cpanel but the staff fixed this quickly.

Uptime
Well in 4 months my 5min uptime monitor hasn’t showed a single outage so am very pleased with that. Zone.net has a 99.99% server uptime guarantee so I think my uptime so far supports this guarantee.

Conclusion
If you are looking for a mid-high end VPS solution Zone.net defidently seems the way to go. If this is not quite what you are looking for Zone.net can also do you some VPS clusters for a very affordable price too as well as the lower end self-managed VPS’s too which sets them above the rest in my opinion because if I outgrow my current VPS I can easily upgrade to a better VPS or a cluster without needing to change company. Normally when I write a review I can find something bad to say about the company but zone.net seems to be different because for the 4 months I have not had a single negative experience and that is quite something.
So overall, a very positive and enjoyable 4 months of service and hopefully many more to come too.
