Their headquarter is located at Carlow, Ireland.
The company leases capacity from existing data centers, including sites in Strasbourg (OVH) and Frankfurt (GhostNet-NewColo).

Control Panel
They use Virtaulizator as a control panel. Personally I like it better than SolusVM. Large, colorful icons and easy to use interface.
Performance
Disk space
The AMD Opteron 4334 CPU with two 3.1GHz cores is really powerful.
The amount of RAM is 768MB and it's enough for almost all kind of tasks, furthermore we've got 1.5GB swap too.
It has FastEthernet (100Mbps) connection, which is equal to 12.5MB/s.
The download speed from Atlanta, USA is terrible. It was too low, so I run this test with other European VPSs from other providers and they all get the same low results. So this is not GalaxyHostPlus' fault, Coloat is the guilty.
The download speed is around 10MB/s for most countries, which is very good.
The speed from Dallas (USA) and from Netherlands are even better than a 100Mbit/s connection should have to.
The 88 MB/s I/O speed is good too from a regular hard disk drive.
Speedtest.net
It has amazing network speeds in Europe.

Support:
Well, I don't know that how fast or helpful they are because I have never have to get in contact with them, because there were no problems at all. And I think this is the best support when everything just works.
Furthermore they offer 24/7 technical support not only in English, but in Polish language too.
