First of all.. Amazing customer support. They have helped with everything I needed and I was no bother at all, they're fast and efficient.. No lag spikes at all, and I run over 10+ applications on my computer that use alot of memory, so I'm impressed.
Definitely the best host out there. I opened a ticket because I was having some problems with my servers multicraft and got a response within 5 minutes. Not only that but I received $4 credit and 2 days added to my plan as compensation. If you depend on a host with great support and a super fast network then go no further, Ready2Frag is here!
We've officially reduced our prices to $6 per GB RAM on our shared services!
This represents no loss in quality of the services we provide. As usual with us, we refuse to oversell and will continue to provide excellent-quality support for our clients.

There are certain questions that I see and hear a lot from prospective customers that I'd like to answer here.
"How is Ready2Frag so cheap? Do you oversell?"
We have the added benefits of owning all of our hardware and IP space. Beyond that, we buy our colocation wholesale from Steadfast Networks. This means we buy our space, power, and bandwidth in large quantities to save money. We pass those savings on to our valued customers.
In terms of overselling, the simple answer is that we do not and will never oversell our servers. In general, we put 25-26GB RAM worth of servers on our nodes. This is to offer top-notch performance as well as offer plenty of place for future upgrades by existing clients

"What is an SSD?"
SSDs (Solid State Drives) are a relatively new innovation in storage technology. The easiest way to describe it is as a giant USB thumb drive, except it operates and installs like a normal internal hard drive. The major difference is the lack of moving parts and usage of flash-based storage instead. A modern SSD will leave a normal HDD (Hard Disk Drive) in the dust - With the SSD being up to 6x faster in read and write speeds.
=====
"What is the difference between a Xeon E3 and a Xeon E5?"
I'll start off by saying that both are perfectly competent processor lines and both are capable of running Minecraft smoothly. Intel has focused the Xeon E3 line on less cores and much better single-threaded/per-core performance, while the E5 line is focused on more balance between number of cores and performance per core. I believe that Xeon E3s are better for Minecraft because of their generally higher core speeds, different architecture, lower cost to buy, lower power consumption, low heat production, and just the pure performance to cost ratios.
I hope this has helped to answer some of the most common questions that we - and other providers - get from prospective clients.
Thank you.

Here is a little review from the past 10 days of finding Ready2frag and ordering the server.

On the I first paid at 5pm on 21st of July and received the server with the software I requested installed at 11pm.
Here is the specs of the server I purchased.

32GB DDR3 ECC RAM @ 1333MHz

Software RAID-1
1Gbps Network Port
10TB Monthly Transfer
/28 of IPv4 (13 Usable)
/64 of IPv6 on request
4Gbps/4MPPS DDoS Protection
$150.00USD / Month
Here is my overall ratings of Ready2frag
Support - 10/10

I would recommend Ready2frag to anyone who considered using them.

I would suggest this host to absolutely anyone. I had horrible experiences with Nitrohosts, who never responded to my tickets and stole money from my paypal once I canceled via there website. With Beastnode, everyone said it was the best, however when I experienced lag for a week on my server, I was told I needed to set up new maps and rollback my 2 month old map because it was "corrupted". No.
Out of desperation, I researched for good servers hosts, while desperately trying to save my server and keep my players from rage quitting. Like a beacon of light, there was Ready2Frag. The owner of the company was on live chat and I spoke to him very candidly about what I needed from a hosting company. He assured me that with R2F, I'd be getting quality service. Hesitantly, I purchased a month subscription AND I HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK! The staff is EXCELLENT. They respond to tickets promptly and ALWAYS communicate with their clients. If there is a rare error (generally not having to do with them), they reimburse you for time it was down. The admin even pops on to my server to play a little and make sure my players are happy. Believe me, you can't get this kind of service anywhere else!
Hands down, the best hosting company!!! It's affordable, comes with excellent freebies (free webhosting, mumble server, and a subdomain!) and the service is wonderful.

In other news, we are looking into offering Minecraft: Pocket Edition servers! We're just waiting on some necessary MC:PE software updates to make the server more stable. Recent versions of Pocketmine have caused massive amounts of resource usage and lag.
