   They Are Simply The Best

   So i signedup with Hostiso in 10/2014 (Almost 10 Years now) and it has been pretty smooth and hassle free for the most of the times during these 10 years.

   Prior to getting my 1st dedicated with them, i was with wiredtree for a long time followed by dediserve and had real good service standards from both of them and Hostiso for most of the part in these 9 years has not disappointed me. Their staff is polite, prompt and proactive for most of the parts and the good part is their CEO Evan who is a very reasonable guy. In 2021 I got covid and was in ICU for over 45 days. I had limited internet and my card was'nt saved on my phone . When i got a reminder for the payment, i told them my situation and Evan ensured that the server was kept running for another 2 months when i finally paid (I pay them 6 months in a go).

   They have staff in USA and in India but none of them are any less than each other . This is important to mention For those who have a red flag for outsourced staff as their staff from India is very professional and happy to help & is able to solve all your issues even at odd hours (Guess the old saying , you get what you pay for is true here for i'm sure they're spending good on quality staff).

   Their Dedicated servers are stable, professionally managed by their staff and apart from a DC Fire issue where they went offline in 2021 for a few hours, I did'nt had any considerable downtime during my time with them. All in all, you get a good night sleep while they manage your servers.

   I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a good provider who is here to stay and serve professionally , timely and proactively. Plus they have multiple locations now on offer.

   If you're hunting with 1 Bullet, wait for a clean shot !

• Multiple DDNS configs?

  I've been using the DDNS option in the UI to sync with no-ip.com, so that I can remotely access my NAS via Wireguard, and this works great. However, my new router no longer supports DDNS without subscription. I need another DDNS client to sync with opendns.com, to get content filtering and parental controls, as my new router has no options for this. Source: about 1 year ago

• Evaluating DNSfilter

  We have used opendns.com for this for years. Might take a look at them. Source: over 1 year ago

• What does this error message mean? How/where do I change the URL?

  Can you visit opendns.com on your home network? The problem likely that site is getting blocked, and can't use the API to get the public IP of your box. Source: over 1 year ago

• Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to calyxos.org

  This might be an issue with my DNS provider. I use opendns.com to filter my DNS queries. They're giving the following reasons for blocking the site... Source: over 1 year ago

• Wi-Fi web filtering

  If all users need the same level of filtering, opendns.com is free and works great. You need a way to forward DNS requests to the Open DNS server, such as a typical Windows DNS. Source: over 2 years ago
