Although I have not yet bought a server from them, I went on their website and found their customer support to be fast, and very helpful. I waited less than 5 minutes to talk to a real person, and already would highly recommend them to anybody else who wishes to set up their own server. I will definately be using these guys to host.

Hey, I've been looking at your service for a bit now, and I only have a few questions!
Right now, I am a hosting newbie, since I know very little about plugin's and mods. With that said, I am looking to run a mostly Vanilla server, with a few perks to liven up the experience a bit. There are a few things that we would require for our server to run smoothly, and if you could take the time to answer the following it would be MOST appreciated!
Multiple Maps: The reason for this is that Minecraft is still in it's developmental stages and we're getting new content every few months or so. If we get an update that will ruin an area or disrupt that steady flow of the world, we would certainly like to start fresh on a NEW map. But the only problem is that nobody ever wants to lose their old buildings. So, is it possible with your service that we can run two maps at the same time so that an admin can /teleport between the two and use World Edit to copy/paste buildings etc. to the new map?
Limited Space: Is it possible to limit the amount of space a map has and have it in a sphere/circle form? We want to start the server at 2000x2000 and slowly increase that number as more players arrive and new land is to be discovered.
Ranks/Restrictions/Commands: How would I go about assigning ranks to various individuals and have each rank have a set of commands, such as a newbie having nothing and a trusted member can use /kit? Color changing etc. would also be a bonus!
Dynamic Map: Do you support having this functional, and if so how do I implement it?
Safe Creepers: It would be nice to have creepers still do damage to players/mobs, but NO damage to the environment!
Chest Protection: I'm fairly sure this is done with Bukkit, but I may be unclear.
Access to Map File: I like to manually download back ups of my maps periodically, and it would be nice if I could have a direct link to such a download without having to go through you via e-mail to obtain ((terrible, terrible experience with Provision Host))
World Guard?: Do you support a mod that can tell me what blocks someone has touched/destroyed/placed so that I may keep track of griefing and be able to both reverse the effects and kick/ban the offender?
I'm fairly sure that is all I can think of as far as getting this server to run the way we wish to run it! If I have anything else, I will certainly let you know! Right now, you guys seem to be the best choice seeing as you have such a wide variety of servers for both minecraft and all other games alike.
Sorry for the late reply but you can indeed do all the above with a series of plugins, and world backups etc are automatic and downloadable via our control panel.
We're about to launch our services down in Australia now, anyone interested in a pre-order?
I want to review this server hoster. And I must say it let me down.
First of all, plugins constantly broke. For example, Towny never worked. Tickets took forever and when they finally came, they were uneffective and unhelpful. Constant random crashes and unexplained rollbacks. I had to leave these guys as they seriously were really bad.
Yamifly, can you let me know your ticket numbers please in a PM so I can look into what happened? I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good service from us and I want to take a look at why this happened.
Hopefully something we'll be able to fix soon!

(will have to be tonight though, gotta run now, but wow. I'm absolutely shuddering with excitement now)
