I have a virtual server there. Service and performance is great so far. Support is nice so far.
My questions got answered quickly and usually within 24-36 hours. Haven't used the paid services yet, as I manage it all myself and just ask for hints which were always useful so far.
Only thing I'm not fully satisfied with is the fact, that I can't upgrade the OS of the Guest OS manually and it's running the (at the time i ordered) latest LTS version of ubuntu (8.04) which is bit outdated for my taste and the its repository has some old packages which aren't updated anymore, beyond the typical service updates (security and critical bugfixes).
But as far as I understand, that's a technical limitation, as the kernel/OS of the guest OS must match with the one of the host for best performance. So i have to wait a few months until there is a ubuntu/kernel update which is supported by virtuozzo and Plesk to switch on ubuntu 10.4 lts.
Until then I have/can live with the older packages or compile them myself if I really require new versions.
