I have been with BurstNET for about two and a half years, and up until recently was quite satisfied with the service. However, after the recent datacenter move, things have taken a turn for the worse. The reliability of my service has gone downhill and technical support has become non-existent. Because they were too slow to fix their problems, I have changed to a different hosting provider. Now, they have gone out of business, and the domain hotlinks to hostwinds.com, which is rated yellow on WOT for being spam friendly.

Servers extremely slow, very poor customer support.

Paid for a VPS server in Dallas, TX. Received a server in Scranton, PA. Needless to say, my clients were not pleased. I attempted to contact them to resolve the issue, and they denied that the server was in the wrong location. They they pasted a falsified traceroute to try and confuse the paypal staff when I attempted to reclaim the funds that were defrauded from me. They then disabled the server unless I was willing to pay them an extra $50 to reactivate it due to their "paypal claim" policy. Worst of all, even in the 3 days that the server was operational, the upload/download speed was absolutely pitiful, at 500 kbps. If you're thinking about renting a server from them, turn away immediately. Best case senario is they take your money and provide you with a non-functioning server.

I had a problem with their service, actually i paid using one of my cards in the website, as paypal was not working, then amount got deducted from my account multiple times and still the invoice was marked unpaid. I notified this issue, but nobody listened to it, never cared to give back my money, not even marked my invoice as paid and suspended my account. I tried contacting as a new customer and then I got reply, but when I asked about this issue they tried to give me lazy answers and kept mum.

Horrible service. SCAM. Engaged in over-selling. Quality of services is very different from those stated. Refund do not agree. Test period is not given, so that there is no opportunity to assess the quality (poor) service before purchasing.

I had a VPS with Burst.Net's reseller for a 1 year duration. Very impressive specs for such an affordable price. Uptime was close to 100%. Recommend to small site owners.
