			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure we have all had our ups and downs with some web hosting companies but i&#8217;m not sure that anything can compare to my experience with Santrex. </p>
<p>I purchased 20gb VPS hosting with them back in the beginning of April. The first month seemed alright dispite having a random 24 hour power outage on my VPS just a few days after signing up.</p>
<p>I noticed that after about 15 days, my site began loading slower and slower and my vps was at 9gb without me uploading any big files! All i was hosting was a mediawiki site and a few images for the articles.</p>
<p>I complained to them about it and they told me they would look into it, which they never did. I thought maybe they were busy, so i didn&#8217;t think too much of it.  Anyway, I bought another months hosting and the site loading seemed to be a tad bit better than the month prior but they still had not got back to me about the loss of hard drive space.<br />

<strong>The third month and final month</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure most of you are aware about the HyperVM Owner who hung himself due to a ton of HyperVM exploits going public.</p>
<p>Well due to this, Santrex shutdown all access to everyones VPS! So thats just great. I cannot install an alternative control panel because they have stopped the HyperVM process. Whats even more is all of a sudden my VPS was maxed out at 20gb!</p>
<p>I could not belive this, so naturally contacted them about it and they told me that i had to <strong>PURCHASE</strong> an alternative or <strong>PAY</strong> them to install a free control panel.</p>
<p>I was furious, I had just paid for my hosting 6 days prior and cannot do anything with it! So, Here i was sitting with my site hosted, ZERO way of adding any new content due to them maxing out my VPS space in a ploy to get me to pay them for a new control panel.</p>
<p>My site sat there the entire month without updates and $19 that i basically just threw away.</p>
<p>I would not recommend them to anyone, Zero customer service what-so-ever!</p>
