About Hostry Unlimited Traffic

Dazzle

Hello,

Recently I found a VPS offering from Hostry with unlimited traffic, I'm looking at the Singapore location. Anyone using them? Any review especially about their unlimited traffic on SG?

Unlimited traffic in Asia sounds sketchy

This, but it's possible if they assign you only 1mbit on the VM ;-) . The site doesn't tell anything about if you got a 1, 10 or 100 mbit link

They are legit, nice service for the price with a few downsides: CPU is slow, connectivity to China is shit.

this name rang a bell but couldnt figure out why. finally got it from my short review of inxy in 2019:

"chanced upon them not knowing really who they are, but they were running a promo of $1 KVM VPS first month for 1 core, 1gb, 10gb SSD, 1000mbps port, unlimited transfer. Subsequent cost is $5 monthly

took a while to provision, their client area looks nice but buggy. ordered once but showed up as double , and both awaiting payment. no other details.

after vps was provisioned, saw no order in client page. did not like seeing that my account now showed (-$4). There was no contract or additional clauses stating that I have to compensate this in subsequent services.
however they gave a link to vps management panel, and saw that this vps is by hostry.com.

logging in shows me a pre Y2K panel. wuuuuut in the ISPmanager is this.

SSH into vps and got a rude shock:

CPU is actually good, so is the SSD. but network is crap, limited to 2.5MB/s inbound. outbound is OK.

raised ticket to inxy, they had to go back and forth with hostry. long story short, i have proof in the VMmanager showing that the vps is rated limited to 2500k/s inbound, but they mentioned provider says this is normal, 1000mbps port is "shared". No refound either.

They can have the $1.

Conclusion: This crap shit is worse than LEB provider."

Send them message and got this.

@cybertech where on earth that 2,5MB/s is normal? Thank you for the benchmark though.
