HeavyNodeReviews of heavynode.com

Heavynode is a pretty decent host, especially given the price, but it has some downfalls. Support is a bit lacking and the uptime for the budget node I was on often failed to meet their SLA. Sure, there can be compensation for it, but it doesn't change the fact that there was still downtime. Additionally, you have to reach out to support if you want to restore a backup, which can take quite a while to get a response for.

I've had a HeavyNode server for almost a month now and just have to say everything is running smooth as can be! The only problem I've had so far was when I was buying a plan, I spent 15 minutes on trying to find an option on making the server a spigot server and then finding out you just have to do it yourself in the config files. Other then that I love my price and quality. Thank you!

Before HeavyNode, I had never even owned a Minecraft server before but these guys made it doable. I have to say, one of the best parts of working with HN is their Discord. It feels more like a friend group that you can talk openly with, which is always cool. Their sales guy is amazing and more than willing to help with technical matters too. Tickets were always answered far earlier than I expected. I'd say the only real downside to going with them is their lack of tutorials. I had to rely on SparkedHost or Apex video tutorials for most of my learning. If they could integrate a tutorial playlist on topics both simple and complex right into the Pterodactyl panel for us noobies, it would be an absolute game-changer. As-is, the server is already quite nice. I can't compare it to the other hosts since I don't have experience with them, but I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with these folks. Would recommend overall, but I still think a comprehensive video tutorial system is urgently needed.

Great so far, but it takes long for support to reply/respond.
