SSD NodesReviews of ssdnodes.com

SSDnodes has a perverse incentive to provide abysmally horrible service. The reason is that their pricing is pre-paid for a 3 year period with no refund. (Lower terms are available, but the pricing for lower terms is less competitive, or uncompetitive.) Many users on the Internet have complained that, shortly after the refund period, or CC charge back period, has expired, they have been rudely and quickly ejected -- with no refund -- based on merit-less accusations of violating the terms of service. By merit-less, I mean that the so-called reason for ejection doesn't actually appear in the written TOS. This smacks of a thinly veiled attempt to look legitimate while disguising the true intention which is to reduce load (because the provider has oversold the same cores to far too many customers). I am not a lawyer, but I wonder if this practice may be a form of criminal fraud (frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to read that the place is raid someday and people taken out in handcuffs). This practice appears to have accelerated in the second half of 2018, concurrent with marketing and overselling steeply discounted service. I use many different providers, and in 2018 I tried ssdnodes as well. Unfortunately for me, by the time I read these testimonials, I had already been ripped off a lot of money in prepaid fees. To net it out: #1 NEVER PREPAY for virtual hosting. This is important, so let me repeat it: NEVER PREPAY for virtual hosting! EVER!! #2 ssdnodes despite much misleading techno mumbo-jumbo on their website is NOT a good deal even for 3 year prepaid.

Absolutely awful customer service. They're snarky and rude. Stay away.

Super overselling! System resources are not isolated and will turn off your instance very quickly if it ever get any spike in traffic.

I started of really liking the service. Got in total 7 VMs for different purposes. Even got support to distribute them across multiple physical hosts to limit outages. Unfortunately shortly after I cancelled 6 of that VMs they got terminated for alleged TOS (Terms of Service) violation. At the time I was using them already for a week to render some of my 3D Artwork thru Blender. I checked multiple times and there is nothing in the TOS to not allow this. In addition to that the server was just shutdown rather than first contacting me about alleged TOS violation. It all seems like a cheap trick to collect a few more dollars from me without providing service for it (keep the service running till the end of the term). Support was extremely rude and was never able to show me which TOS was violated and pretty much told me that if I don't agree on terminating my instances they would cancel my running server too. To sum it up there are fun as long as you don't use any of their resources. As soon as you might actual need the performance promised they will kick you out.
