We had a server colocated with HostVenom for just about year. We also had a few of their own servers during that time. Support is fast,Network is great. Control panel is not the greatest but it works. We moved on because we out grew them. Good host. You should give them a try.

Things are going well so far ...
I hope I am not biting myself in the foot when I give this company 5 stars, but they have done a good job in communicating so far. I started services with them about a week ago. Here's the highlight of my experience with them:
* They have quality servers at a fair price
* They had my server up and running in less than 30 minutes on a weekend.
* I was able to install the control panel software of my choice in less than 1 hour
I got the impression, due to their responsive nature, that even if I had ordered 100 servers they would have gotten it ready for me in a timely manner.
The only disadvantages I would say are:
1.They do not offer managed hosting, so if you are inexperienced in installing servers, this may not be the place for you. An alternative may be to hire a freelancer to manage the initial server installation and migration (e.g. setup backups) and to perform occasional tune-ups (e.g. monthly check in)
2. They offer 24/7 technical support but it's NOT via phone. You have to use either live chat or open a support ticket. So that means you have to be good at describing the issue to them in writing.
3. Because the services are not managed, and Host Venom does not have an in house control panel with an interface similar to cPanel, Plesk, aaPanel, or Control Web Panel [you will have to install your own] it is highly recommended that you use a DDOS/CDN combination such as Cloudflare to mask your IP.
But, all of this was explicitly stated prior to checkout, so I do not feel deceived or lied to in any way. I went through a half dozen other server companies, and Host venom was the easiest, in my opinion, to use.

Ready2Frag is THE BEST!!
I have been trying out different providers for server hosting for over a year, bouncing everywhere...And performance was lacking everywhere I went. It was either decent performance, insane price, or decent price, terrible performance. Ready2Frag was exactly what I needed. I have been using them to run servers for my gaming community about 4 months, and players who didn't even know we changed providers would message me and let me know they could tell something was much better, better than it had ever been.
Outstanding performance, at such a fair price!
I would recommend Ready2Frag any day!

They're the best at what they do.
Ready2Frag has offered our businesses multiple high-end solutions for all our needs; from mass storage, high-compute units, collocation, and even high network availability solutions. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable across many topics and always willing to work with you. By far one of the best companies I've both personally and professionally had the opportunity of working with.
Very professional and very easy to work with; everything from price to system solutions and specifications. Down to size, power, bandwidth and networking. Technical and non-technical solutions as well. With over 10 years in the industry myself; having gone through countless providers looking for the best solution for our needs, R2F has provided us a stable and firm footing to establish the core of our business around in a very centralized location.
Pros:
- 50TB monthly bandwidth
- Dedicated 1Gbps Port with upgradability to 10Gbps
- Flexible pricing
- Amazing hardware selection
- Knowledgeable Staff
- Zero downtime
- Flawless DDoS protection
- Amazing Peering
Cons:
- Only one location

Amazing.
Hello there. I just wanted to stop by do my review! For a while, I’ve been looking for dedicated servers and was recommended to stop by and check out R2F and the experience from beginning to end during this process is unmatched! The customer service and setup was fast and the server is amazing! I’m blown away and certainly here to stay! If anyone is in doubt, don’t be! You can’t go wrong and I guarantee you won’t find better! Thank you all staff team. Soon 8 dedicated servers on R2F. Best decision ever.

Powerful hardware and great support
We've been with Ready2Frag for over 6 months now. We started with a dedicated i9-9900k server, and recently upgraded to a Xeon W-1290P. Both setup processes were straightforward and went through without hiccup. Ticket response times have been prompt, usually in the 15-45 minute range, so no complaints there. They also have a Discord server with a ticket system that has been fantastic. Almost immediate response, and the ability to far more easily carry on a dialogue when you are trying to actively troubleshoot issues.
Hosting support is similar to insurance... you hope to never have to use it, but when you need it you want a company that will take charge of the issue and work with you to solve the problem. That has been our experience dealing with Brandon, Scott, and Wyatt.
We had a particularly troublesome time with a layer 7 attack hitting a vulnerability in one of the game servers we were hosting. These attacks, coupled with traditional DDoS attacks that were targeting most of the top servers in that particular game, were causing a ton of issues in the game's community. The guys at Ready2Frag took note of the DDoS attacks that were coming in and proactively reached out to discuss the issues we were facing. Over the next few days we worked together to finetune mitigation that addressed the traditional DDoS attacks as well as the layer 7 attacks. They kept us in the loop, and wanted to ensure that the mitigation techniques being deployed were not causing adverse performance in-game. They dialed everything in, and things have been running great since. It's not often you find a company that will proactively reach out and create extra work for themselves, but as they put it, "when we say we offer ddos protection we mean it, even for the tricky ones, we'll get to the bottom of it."
All in all, we're extremely pleased. They're a growing company, but they seem to have all of the right priorities. Highly recommend!
