Turns out, I was wrong about sharkservers.rs (sharkservers.co.uk)... but let me first tell you about plutoserver.com. They are "OK" but connecting to the VPS console needed a weird VNC plugin

Not good! I'm not going to install a plugin just to reach my server.
Fuck off. I never tried the VPS though but they seemed not too bad but I dislike too much manual bullshit if the price is high. They didn't offer downgrading of a package either so if you upgrade, you can't downgrade (wtf?) and hm, yeah, no big storage addon either, not good. They did have snapshots, which is good, however. Closing the account and refunding took less than maybe 10 minutes though, very nice and fast. If you want to try them, it was smooth all around and because of the smooth refund, you don't need to hesitate to try them. Oh, and the account information part, I deliberately didn't fill out anything, no address nothing (just filled crap) and it was no problem so that part is also good. They are not flexible, however, which is ultimately why I closed the account there. For example when asked for big storage, it was just a blank "No" and nothing more. ...but hey, that's just me.
...anyway, back to sharkservers.rs (sharkservers.co.uk), frankly, I didn't expect much at first from them. Granted, the VPS creation isn't automated (I think) and their VPS console isn't working (they are working on it as I write this) and I can't take snapshots myself from the account (yet?), I still am a customer there and will keep trying them for a while. Why you ask? Well, I tell you why. The support is really good and they are very helpful. That is VERY important. They are reachable and about account information, same there, I deliberately didn't fill out much information because hell, WHEN YOU BUY MILK YOU DON'T GIVE THE STORE YOUR HOME ADDRESS AND PHOTO ID DO YOU? HEHE... so no problem there. I will of course fill out my information soon enough, it's not like I'm hiding. *lol*

They use VMware (I'm not too crazy about that part) because VMware installs "VMware Tools" inside your VPS machine (which I personally dislike) but I can live with that part I guess. For example, I just uninstalled that fucking thing and the server just died. Can't reach it now so I will have to wait for them to fix the console issue.
Their prices are pretty good. Not too expensive but also not too low I guess.
...anyway, they don't currently have big storage addon but when I asked about it from their support, VERY helpful response! I couldn't believe it! They told me they will check into it and get back with a price quote. OH MY GOD? First of all these hosting companies which actually did something like that! A big star, right there! Same with the VPS console not working, very helpful support and they are on top of it to fix it. The same with the ability to take snapshots from my account, they will work on it but very helpful that they are, they told me they can take snapshots for me for now when I need it. REALLY, THEY ACTUALLY SAID THAT. I haven't seen even ONE company doing that!
So what's the big deal? They don't seem to be super cheap and seem to have a few issues to fix, why even use them?
Well, it's a big deal. It shows that sharkservers.rs (sharkservers.co.uk) is very flexible, it shows that even though they are aware of their shortcomings, they are willing to fix things,
WHICH IS EXTREMELY GOOD. They care and give two fucks, that is very rare these days. Therefore, I will go slow in the first month, let them iron out the issues and fix the bugs and such.
They absolutely deserve it and have earned that respect from me.In short, I'm so far happy with sharkservers.rs (sharkservers.co.uk) and will be using them for our disaster recovery server.
Update (1) for sharkservers.rs (sharkservers.co.uk):UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE. They just fixed my VPS in a way so I won't have a need for the "VMware Tools".
I have tried SO MANY hosting companies (Maybe above 50) so believe me when I say that these guys are REALLY good and they care about their customers. Amazing!
