SU Hosting Review

Great for vintage story.

Actually an excellent provider. Normally I would ignore providing a review, but my server was above and beyond what I truly needed and what few issues I had were quickly solved by customer service. Big ups.

Host has frequent connection issues

The site and everything is great, love how easy it is to start and manage a server through SUHosting, however the host keeps losing connection and freezing my server until I manually restart it. I will likely be looking into a more reliable alternative like a VSP to have more reliable connection

Excellence

Decent pricing, great service, excellent product. Something Unique lives up to its name and I will definitely be renting from them again.

Great Experience!

Very good prices for what you get! The server dashboard is very good and I have had no problems with playing with my friends on the server!

Easy to use great customer service and…

Easy to use great customer service and ticket response

Excellent value and performance, minor UX improvements recommended

The Good: Simple to use, quick turnaround, got a server provisioned in minutes. Excellent value. I've had no issues with server performance even on the budget option and hardware-wise they are excellent. I'm running a private vintage story server with maybe 5 or 6 mods.Improvements: Mostly UX based and fairly minor, but these go a long way.The panel seems like quite a vanilla pterodactyl panel. Documentation could be improved, as it was my first time running Vintage Story (being experienced with hosting minecraft) and I didn't know where the server configurations are initially, maybe a specific settings tab for that? The mod installer though is really nice, though it seems to install mods to the wrong location (needs to go in data/mods not the base mods folder) and no easy way to see what's installed and what needs updating. Having a one click update to 1.21 was nice, though after I did that there was some confusion as the panel hadn't updated the version number, and my server was crashing because the container settings was still using dotnet 7. One suggestion would be just to automatically change it to dotnet 8 when one updates past 1.21.0.I also found it quite slow to upload via sftp (like around 70kib/s) but that may just be my connection. It's worth checking but probably a nonissue.TLDR: Excellent value for money and so far flawless on the hardware and hosting side. Relatively easy to set up and work with, but there's a few UX issues that bring it down but really not by much at all. (No AI was used to write this review)
