Has anyone heard of or better still used these before www.servage.com seems like a good deal but then if it seems to good to be true and all that.

Just looking for an extra bit of hosting and these cropped up.

Anybody, no, dust, anybody, no, dust

Never heard of them, but I may well give them a try in a month or so :)

There is just one thing that puts me off:

"Bandwidth and Disk Usage:
Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer on the Order Form and must be fairly distributed over the month. Customers are able to use 11 Gb daily or 330 Gb in a normal 30 day month. A 29 day month provides 308 Gb transfer and a 31 day month will allow a total of 341 Gb transfer. Sites that consume over our daily limit on a regular basis period will be disabled and client must look into another Web hosting provider to accommodate those high bandwidth needs. Servage will monitor Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. Servage shall have the right to take corrective action if Customer's bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken is in Servage's sole and absolute discretion. If Servage takes any corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action."

I just wanted to share with you all. I have been using Servage for a while and have been fully satisfied. Their servers seems good and the support staff are friendly and all.

Yeah, I have used them for a while for a couple of sites. Pages can be slow to load, and if you go over the 11GB, your site ends up suspended (happened to me a few times and really pissed me off - I said I'd rather pay for the overage than have my site suspended, but that wasn't the policy). 300GB+ a month bandwidth sounds good, but if you use 1GB a day for 10 days, then suddenly you get a rush of traffic and reach 11.2GB in a day, your site will be suspended by their automatic monitoring system, no matter that your average isn't anywhere near 11GB. Still, a few months ago that figure was 5GB a day, and the storage space started of at 2GB, now it's up to 5GB and more, and the figures keep going up, I've no doubt they will be up to 20GB a day bandwidth in the near future. For the price it's a really good deal, and the customer service is good, but I wouldn't use it for posting to TGP's that demand fast loading pages... Another good thing is they're in Denmark... so it's a matter of weighing the pros and cons, but for the price it'd be worth trying it out.
