Sep 10, 2024Exceptional Service and Support! I had an outstanding experience with this company from start to finish. The team, especially Peter, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of setting up multiple servers. They were quick to respond to all my queries, provided a smooth transition when I needed to change server locations, and even customized the setup to meet my needs perfectly. The pricing was fair, and the service has been top-notch. Everything was activated without a hitch, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the servers. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and efficient server hosting. Will definitely continue working with them!

Mar 25, 2026I signed up for Virtarix’s cheapest Storage VPS to back up a family member’s large e-commerce sites, and I have been really impressed with the performance. It is fast, and having a server in Johannesburg, South Africa is a big plus. The pricing is also much lower than other local storage options I looked at. I am very happy with the VPS performance and would gladly recommend Virtarix.
