Thats right you heard it I will continue to purchase from them. You want to know why because i do not have an issue following rules or simply restarting my server. Let me explain a little bit about all this. There is currently a hate thread for hfb that covers many things like customer service, tos, performance and more. I want to explain my experience with hfb and explain a little bit about them. First customer service, i will not lie and say its great, that is something that they need to work on and im sure they have been, i see 2 people mainly responding to tickets john and jack and they usually respond within 24 hours which in my opinion is too long but you at least get a response. So hfb if you are reading this you need more support my friends. Next terms of service, i personally only took a quick glance through this but its something that i never have to quote or use because i FUCKING FOLLOW THE RULES, i dont password i dont lock i dont turn off my fucking anti cheat, i follow the rules. Yes some sort of refund policy is a good idea maybe like a 24 hour no questions asked or something, since they are a new company im sure they can do that, we just have to wait and see. Next performance, many of you in that hate thread made statements like "5 servers crammed in" or what ever something fucking like that. and you know what 5-10 servers on the hardware they are using for these servers is JUST FINE i rented a dedicated server from them, the same spec that they use to host there dayz servers, its a DUAL cpu xeon machine with 16gb's of ram a 1tb Enterprise drive and a 1 gbps fucking connection, this things can hold 10 fucking servers, trust me i tried, before the servers start to lag because of hard ware over load. i can tell you from simply checking ports they run at max 6 servers per machine which might sound like a lot but its NOT. If your server is laggy restart the damn thing, i see people bitching on the forums about oh server laggy blah blah, then hfb tweets out there weekly restart of all servers a day or so later i join that server and its smooth as silk, You should restart your servers at LEAST 1 time a fucking day dont run the god damn thing for days and days without a restart its going to run like dog shit its dayz. Next is the statements of oh this company is run by children well... do you know how old lee the owner of vilayer is? well according to his profile hes 23. You know how old jonnerz the owner of host altitude is? well according to his profile hes 19. Now you know how old hungoverfurball is the owner of hfb is? well according to his profile hes 18, this industry is run by young people not old 40 year old folks. like you guys have been making it out to seem. I do not fucking care how old the owner is of any company as long as they work. and for me they do. vilayer is an LTD hfb is an LLC and from what i can tell host altitude is also an LLC and you know what that means? its means they are not just companies in it to make a quick buck it means they are in it for the long haul. Every company starts out a little rocky, hfb is no exception they have only been around for a few months. Now i also want to make a statement to all those who have NOT bought a server from them. Notice how hfb currently has 488 servers online that's roughly 470ish customers id say, and notice the maybe 50 people at MAX who have been vocal about anything on these forums? thats right its the minority that is the loudest not the majority who are just fine and dandy with there servers. I also want to point out one important thing, dayz is still an ALPHA many of you who come from xbox and minecraft and what not do not get that. The game is gonna have issues its the nature of a FUCKING ALPHA. This game relies heavily on a connection to the HIVE something that hfb vilayer or host altitude do NOT control. If there is any hiccup in that connection your server de-syncs, which is going to happen when you have 1000+ servers connected to a single fucking database, and you have russions ddosing the thing left and right. Its not perfect nor will it be for awhile. To all those "i stuck at this or that" take the time to join other servers and look into the current issues that are going on. It takes a couple mins and most of the time your issue is solved. Plain and simple. For those who are bitching about the control panel changes, i dont even want to confront you but i will. host altitude has had the same things in place since day ONE as he said himself, vilayer adopted the new changes about 2 weeks ago which when they did so there were a ton of bitching and complaining just like now for hfb, lee or maybe capecod cant remember even made a long post explaining all the issues they had with load and what not and how they needed to make the changes. hfb makes the changes just now and bam all over again, same thing that happened to vilayer. Its the nature cycle of things. people can not accept the fact that dayz is starting to batten down the hatches and when hosts are forced to make the changes you flame the hosts not the dev team. you want to password your server? talk to the dev team, you want to lock it? talk to the dev team. dont flame a fucking hosting company who simply shuts your server down, not disables just shuts down, about something they have to follow. something dealing with price. now this is a funny one. many of you who have complained have stated paypal disputes and other shit. I hope you realize something. paypal does not cover the BUYER on things like game servers as they are considered a VIRTUAL GOOD. So hfb will almost always win the dispute if they simple call paypal. Even if you call your bank or credit card company they will still win even if you get the money back paypal still gives hfb the money because they were in the right, and something actually very funny to you dumb fucks calling your credit card company and claiming un authorized and what not. that all gets reported, and things like that cause you to have bad credit. So tell me is it really worth a $35 for bad credit? and staying with that $35 hfb has for the longest time always had the lowest price ANYWHERE for dayz servers. Many of you think you are going to get instant support, 1-2 node machines, and 30 day return policies. that is not that have you heard of the classic "you get what you pay for" term? no you probably have not. If you want instant support, empty machines, crazy long return policies. Go pay more for it plain and simple. For those who say they are just in it for a quick buck tell me this, why would they tweet out the following "Stock has been set to 0 for dayz servers. We will be making changes during this time for the better. Improvements all around in bound" And "everything besides dayz will remain in stock as those are not effected. Thanks for understanding guys" Seems to me that they are going to be doing some improvements of there management/operations. It would not surprise me if you see a refund policy pop up and hey maybe hungoverfurball will make a forum post, but i do not know. because every time he makes any post all of you childish fucking people flame him, he could say were giving everybody free dedicateds and there would still be some dumb fuck who does not read the post and just says "hfb sucks blah blah blah" One issue i do now have is because of you dumb fucks bitching and causing them to most likely hire more staff will mean a price increase. Which is going to be all your fault not theres. You have more expenses you have higher prices plain and simple. So all in all. I say i love my hfb hosted servers. keep up the great work, yes you need to improve in some areas which it seems you are. And to those who are going to flame this thread, take the time you were going to take to flame me and hfb to go out side get some fresh air, or hell maybe just join another server.

You get it. for that i give you my beans

I know for a fact that they do not re rent there US servers from vilayer. They do at least i think so for there EU servers which to be honest who cares.

Also something i wanted to post real quick. Forgot to add it to the main post. To all those who have made statements like "hfb should shutdown" just think that statement over real quick. Hfb currently has over 400 servers 99% of which are in the US. Imagine if all of those 400 servers just disappeared one day Gone out of the blue. Dayz US players would be flooding the rest of the servers that are up which would not be enough to cover the load of 400 servers. Now you might say well they can just rent from other companies, That might be the case but imagine if host altitude and vilayer were hit with 400+ orders from people who just want there servers back. they would most likely not be able to handle that load. I know vilayer is very much EU based so they would most likely be able to handle that load in EU but not the US and host altitude he could handle a decent amount of load also But not to the amount of 400+ servers. Most people would also then be stuck with starting off with a fresh server because all those mission id's and location id's that is assigned to hfb are lost. Alot of people would simply just give up on dayz and move on, which would suck, it really would. I have always wondered how it would be if hfb, vilayer, or host altitude simply shut down all servers on lets say a weekend around mid day. I could only imagine the response to that god for all 3 went down. All this is just my thoughts on the matter since most of the happy customers are not speaking up since they do not have to only the ones with issues. I would go as far as to say for every one person who bitches on here there is five maybe more happy customers.

Well in ohio which is where hfbservers llc is registered according to the quick little search i did. There processing time for an llc is about 2-3weeks. Why would they take the time to setup an llc and pay the fees to do so if they can just use paypal's non protection of buyers for virtual goods? i mean if i were to setup something to make a quick buck i would not take the time to do all that when paypal makes it easy to protect your self. I know some states have standard processing times of just a couple days and have next to no fees, which if they were registered in i would be a bit more worried. Also i noticed in your signature you have the line "Admin tools locked out" which is not the case you still have access to everything you could need with there new control panel. Admittedly i do not use my slot server as much as i use the servers on my dedicated server with them i have not found any issue with there new control panel.

Thats right i said it they are great. By far the best host out there. They have gotten so much crap that they do not deserve over pretty much one post. From one guy who should have just talked to them privately. Im sure they have everything worked out now as i searched that guys server (north america 1) and it was up again. I ordered a 40 man server from them about a week or two back and the server was setup with in 1 hour. That is the fastest setup for any dayz server host i have seen plain and simple. I had some questions about how to setup my servers rcon and beta version and the ticket response at first was a bit slow (few hours) but they told me exactly what i had to do and i was good. Then the next day they released full ftp access to the servers along with a bunch of awesome changes. So i assume the slow response to the ticket was due to the massive and amazing change to their control panel. Those guys get from what i can tell very little sleep as they are always on and setting up servers. Now on to the price of their servers. They have the CHEAPEST prices you will find anywhere. I just checked and apparently they are running a special a 40 slot server for $25 that is amazing. They also sell full dedicated servers for the price of some vps's which is crazy cheap. I did some googeling and found there webhosting post which showed me some interesting things. First of all if you use the coupon code WHT it gives you $10 of of there already crazy cheap prices. Then i found something even cooler. If you go to this link http://www.hfbservers.com/billing/cart.php?gid=2 you can see that they are even selling a ivybridge server for crazy cheap. This company is by far the best i have found out there. They were like finding a diamond in a haystack yes a diamond they are that good. I can vouch that they are great. And improving every single day. There servers are lag free. There prices are cheap. There support is getting a ton better. And they are just 3 guys running the whole thing but are still friendly as heck. Keep it up adam anthony and matt. (no particular order lol)

my server is in seattle also and i am in florida alsmot all the way opposite. Since dayz and ping don't really matter i dont care. You will have like less then 200 ping to anywhere in the us if you are in the us. For dayz its just fine not playing like a fps like css or cod then i would complain. did they give you a good deal? i said they are good guys.

ok lol i was like what the... heck?

how am i spaming...... If im not allowed to post an honest review of them then wow...
