update: Today the server has been crashing consistently for the whole day, about every 15 minutes it crashes.
My hatred slowly grows...

Okay guys, so before you go all superfanboy beastnodeisawesome on me, hear me out.
I have been using Beastnode to host my server for the past year. The prices of the servers i have used on them have ranged from a simple 10 dollar pack, to a super expensive 300 dollar custom pack.
Now, when I had the 300 dollar pack things were great, obviously, because they wanted me to give them more money. However as my server died down some more I was forced to drop back down to 50 dollars. The problems I have with Beastnode, they are very cheapskate. Their servers are quite bad for their price, and their reliability is terrible. I honestly recommend finding a different hosting instead of going with beastnode. The only reason I haven't switched is because I want to keep my server ip, so sadly I am stuck. Just this week, Beastnode randomly deleted our players file, which forced us to close the server for a while. It took them 4 days to simply give us the file back which took them no time at all, and by then we had lost many players. Their customer service is quite bad, and usually takes them a long time to respond. Quite often they don't even know what they are talking about.

So, if you haven't noticed what I am talking about yet, let me sum it up for you.
Beastnode will love you and provide amazing services... If you give them a huge amount of money per month for a big pack. If you plan on sticking with 300 dollars a month for a long time, then I guess I should recommend them.
However, when it comes to the little guy, they seem to completely ignore you. You are provided with very little server, and very unreliable servers with some bad glitches.

Anyway, most of you will likely ignore me, claiming I am just some troll or simply like another site more, but hopefully some of you will listen to what I am saying, and not get screwed over like I was. I recommend getting a hosting that allows a custom ip, so that way you can switch hosting to another that has a custom ip, and not have to worry about losing players.

Anyway, if you want to come play with us our server IP is
206.217.139.53:25574

Subscribe if you want to see more, and give me a diamond if you enjoyed it.

I hope you enjoy your day and I hope you may have gotten something out of this lame blog.

Oh and since this is a review I give beastnode a 5.5/10

Never happened to me (because I've used 2 other hosts for a very long time and
know what I'm doing... you probably did something wrong)

I've been using Beastnode for nearly a year. I've stuck with the 20$ pack and it works fine for me. They reply to tickets very quickly. They do anything they can to improve it for me. I don't know what happenned to you, but Beastnode is great in my view.

Agreed.

I've been using beastnode forever (don't know exactly how long :D)
and like it a lot better then the other 2 hosts I used.
I've never had any problems with beastnode and have always had
a great 24/7 server with them.

Literally just now for the past 4 hours the server has been crashing every 15 minutes, this has nothing to do with us, it is just crashing.

The past few hours I agree with. I shut down my server around 10AM to fix a plugin conflict, and I havn't been able to get it back up. I don't think this is fault of Beastnode themselves, but of their software having a malfunction of some sort.
