Host4Fun  VPS 1 Review
#1
Introduction
I'm not a VPS 1 Holder, however thought to check it out and provide our members with a brief overview of the VPS.  In summary it is not a bad VPS at all.  Particulatly when one compares it with VPS 9 that I'm used to. From the moment I started to work with VPS 1 in its Virtualizor Panel, I realized that Host4Fun is keeping the panel up to date - the templates were up to date.  What is attractive about this VPS is of course the User Panel that the VPS Holder gets so one can reinstall the OS if one needs to do that.  One can also boot and reboot the VPS, check out disk and bandwidth use but not much more than that.  VPS 1 also comes with VNC access.  Location of the VPS is France.

VPS Sponsor
Post4vps is indebted to Host4Fun for the very long duration it has supported us.  It has been providing us with six VPSs with very generous specs and a great Admin Panel. Host4Fun offers cheap and budget web hosting and VPS services from 25+ Global Locations and 36+ Datacenters.

Network, Performance & Reliability
From feedback from previous VPS holders, performance and reliability of VPS 1 is very good.  We very rarely have needed to submit any tickets except in the case of using VPS 1 as a Games Server.  Although Host4Fun says it's OK to use VPS 1 for a Games Server, members have experienced repetitive Firewall issues that couldn't be solved by the sponsor.  So regrettably we have had to advise our members not to use VPS 1 as a Games Server.

One of our members also tried VPS 1 for Teamspeak.  And that was not entirely successful either.  So maybe the way Firewall works with Host4Fun it's not an ideal VPS for scripts that require Firewall to be set up to deal with it.

For regular use however, this VPS is great.  I loaded some WordPress sites on it.  And speed is completely acceptable.  Fast by normal standards, just a little less fast than VPS 9.  So I can recommend it for regular use.

Conclusion
As previously mentioned VPS 1 is a very good VPS.  Specs are great for regular straight up and down Websites or blogs.  However, as soon as it gets more involved where the Firewall ports need to be opened up, there may be issues.  So the VPS is not recommended for use as a Games Server or for Teamspeak or similar projects.

Note of Appreciation to Sponsor
We wish to extend a special note of appreciation to Host4Fun for providing our membership with years of continued sponsorship of VPS 1.

Thank you to Post4VPS and VirMach for my awesome VPS 9!
