Easy setup, great value especially when used together

The ease of use in getting up and running quickly - it's as easy as pushing buttons! There are some quirks here and there that can be annoying but nothing too major. I would definitely recommend this product if you're looking for an inexpensive solution for your web application needs or even just looking at how much money you're saving by not having dedicated servers. We needed something cheap and we didn't want to have to manage anything ourselves so we went with this option instead of going…

Pros
  • Quick, reliable deployments
  • Ability easily spin new instances without doing any handholding (easy deployment)
  • Great support when issues occur from day one after installation.
  • Really good documentation available online
Cons
  • There are nuances

Very good tool when developing mobile apps

I really like that Brightbox is very easy to manage and configure. It's also very flexible, as you can easily create new applications or environments without any problems. One of the things I dislike most about Brightbox is the speed in which it responds in terms of applications and environment creation. I would definitely recommend using this software if you are looking for an easy way of creating your own products or even if you just want to test the performance of your application before…

Pros
  • It's also very flexible and I would definitely recommend using it
Cons
  • The speed in which it responds is not very good and can take a while to do so

Excellent Customer Service & Affordable Solution

I love that they have great customer service! The support staff is very responsive when it's needed but not too pushy if you want some time alone or just need someone else around sometimes :). It can be expensive at times depending what level of services are used (if any) so make sure there isn't cheaper options out their before signing up as this could really affect your experience in terms of cost vs quality/support offered etc - otherwise its an easy solution all round which meets most…

Pros
  • also helpful tutorials provided during signup process along side step bystep guides explaining how everything works
Cons
  • It is hard to say

Great help and friendly staff for all matters to our Cloud site

The customer support team are very helpful in answering any questions we may have about their product or service which is great when you're new at using something as complicated as cloud services! I really like how they give out free accounts so it's easy just try things before paying anything else (which i've done). You can't use your own VM images but instead must upload them from somewhere online - this makes me feel uneasy since there might be viruses floating around that could possibly…

Pros
  • Free trial period
  • Great for learning purposes, beginner friendly.
  • Good price compared to other providers with similar features; eases budget constraints too
  • Excellent technical assistance provided whenever needed
Cons
  • Some problems

Brightbox Cloud Hosting - great services and support

What I like best so far is that each new machine gets better over time until its top of class! Not much more it can be said about this one in terms if what we don't love/like as well would mean not enough business from us :). That's great news because now customers have confidence too which means increased profitability even higher sales volumes etc....I recommend all other hosts but then you got your own opinion ;):) The thing was just running outta space when working big projects or heavy…

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • Flexible pricing for VPS plans with reasonable configuration options, low minimum cost per month
  • High quality network equipment used within hosting environment
Cons
  • Hardware failures are common
  • No full hardware redundancy option available

Using this tool made my life much easier

The interface is easy to use and has a lot of features. We used Brightbox for a while and there are many things we liked. We also found out that there are some things we didn't like as well. The support was really good, they were always willing to answer our questions and help us with the problems we encountered. One of the main advantages is that it is very easy to set up and use. When we needed to solve a problem we were having with our previous hosting provider we were able to solve it…

Pros
  • Also the support team is very professional and helpful
Cons
  • The software sometimes crashes and there is no way to recover from what happens
