Muy buen servicio y seguridad

Did a pre-order with the previous administration waited for over 2 years, and now they won't even give me account credit to use on their site, awful.

We receive DDOS and it don't works good...

Why I Chose Tempest Hosting
I’ve always been fascinated by technology and the idea of having complete control over my digital environment. When it came time to find a hosting solution that allowed for real flexibility, I came across Tempest Hosting, LLC. What drew me in was the promise of having my very own server—something that gives you complete freedom to configure, customize, and optimize according to your specific needs. I knew it wouldn’t be a simple “set it and forget it” solution, but I was ready for the challenge.

Getting Started: The First Impressions
The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, but it immediately became clear that Tempest Hosting expects you to take an active role in managing your server. There’s no heavy hand-holding, which is a blessing and a challenge at the same time. If you’re used to traditional shared hosting where everything is done for you, this might feel intimidating at first. But for me, it was exciting. Finally, I had an environment where I could learn, experiment, and fully control how things were set up.

The Learning Curve: A Test of Patience and Research
One of the biggest lessons during my experience was patience. The customer service team was professional and courteous, but they weren’t always proactive in guiding me through complex setups or troubleshooting minor issues. I quickly realized that I had to do some research on my own. Forums, tutorials, and trial-and-error became my best friends. While some might see this as a drawback, I actually came to appreciate it. Every challenge I faced forced me to understand my server better, and by the time I resolved the issues, I felt a sense of ownership and confidence that you simply don’t get with fully-managed services.

Performance and Reliability: The Heart of the Experience
Once I had everything configured, the real strength of Tempest Hosting became apparent. The servers are incredibly reliable, with minimal downtime and consistent performance even under heavier loads. Tasks that I worried might slow things down ran smoothly, and the control over my server meant I could optimize things in a way that best suited my needs. Knowing that I could rely on the infrastructure gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my projects without unnecessary stress.

Customer Service: Room for Improvement, But Manageable
While I had a mostly positive experience, it’s worth noting that customer service could be more proactive. There were moments when I wished the support team would offer more guidance or anticipate potential issues before they arose. That said, every question I asked was eventually addressed, and the team was always professional. In a way, this experience reinforced the idea that having your own server requires initiative. If you’re willing to invest some time and effort into learning the ropes, this is a manageable and ultimately rewarding process.

The Benefits of Full Control
What I value most about Tempest Hosting is the empowerment it provides. Unlike shared hosting environments where restrictions limit what you can do, having your own server gives you complete flexibility. You can install software, configure settings, and run projects exactly the way you want. This freedom comes with responsibility, but it also opens up opportunities to truly optimize and experiment. For anyone who enjoys hands-on management and learning along the way, this is an incredible advantage.

Conclusion: Is Tempest Hosting Worth It?
Looking back on my journey, I can say with confidence that Tempest Hosting, LLC has been a positive experience. Yes, there’s a learning curve, and yes, you’ll need to do some independent research at times. But the rewards are well worth it. From reliability and performance to flexibility and empowerment, this hosting service delivers on its promises. My initial curiosity and slight uncertainty transformed into satisfaction and confidence. For anyone willing to take the time to learn and engage with their own server, Tempest Hosting is an excellent choice that I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Final Thoughts: A Personal Takeaway
Using Tempest Hosting taught me more than just server management—it reminded me that taking initiative and learning through experience can be incredibly rewarding. Everything didn’t always come easy, but the knowledge and control I gained were invaluable. If you’re looking for a hosting provider that gives you freedom, reliability, and a real sense of ownership, Tempest Hosting, LLC is a provider that truly delivers.

Great comunication and support center

Fast and professional assistance

In my experience this is one the most hassle free and simple to set up services, they have such a ln easy to understand interface.
Not only that I have never experienced any lag or downtime using their service, I have used many providers in the past only Tempest from here on!

Tempest was the only provider that actually blocked the DDoS attacks I was receiving on my DNS server. I tested several others, but they really impressed me. So far, everything is running perfectly!

rude staff, wasn’t helpful at all in tickets/ discord. overall unprofessional

I can't find a business that can do this, but Tempest did it.

i never had an issue deploying or setting up any other vps in the past several friends even checked i must of gotten a bugged one or something but it would not allow more than 5 people on it after i made open vpn configs . they did zilch to help me . iknow this is not them though because this has never happened before this not until this previous time with this issue but beforehand i never had any issues with tempest nor any questions to ever ask .... tempest was always my 1st choice.... matter a fact tempest is still my favorite path provider so iam upset with this .ill get over it

Very good service, the best DDoS protection we ever had. I guarantee and recommend their services.

Actually one of the fastest support i've ever experienced from a hosting company.

10/10, support was very helpful and straight to the point!

Frequent downtimes

My machine at Phoenix was down for ~2 months, they offered transfer to new location, now New York is down for almost a week.

If you intend to use tempest I personally recommend having always a backup service, tempest is pretty great when its working but when its down its usually down for long time, so always have backup ready in case you don't want to lose money like i did hoping they'd resolve issue quickly.

Most of users don't even get compensation for downtime and still need to pay same amount for machine once next month's pay is due despite it being down for over week

used tempest for about 2 maybe a little more years now and even got a good pal of mine to join me and use tempest, we currently own a NewYork Machine and a London Machine, and even though with the current situations there having and have had with some locations or other issues, to me tempest is still the greatest hosting on the market! every hosting has issues and downtime, not every hosting is perfect. but honestly i could never imagine using any other hosting, tempest is 100% the best to me.

Tempest really won me over after communicating their next server migration and down time, once they got them back up things have been running pretty smooth since good work fellas

ngl they just lying atp... awful uptime, they constantly reply with "Path doesn't provide dedicated servers" when they literally host dedicated servers (/dedicated-servers) on their website. the company is owned by incompetent people which cant even afford datacenter bills.

One word: awesome

Since my servers were receiving heavy attacks, I decided to move them to Tempest Hosting. My server was installed instantly after payment, the management panel and firewall settings work very well, DDoS filters and protection are very successful (only attack logs are not visible, it would be great if they fix this). My server ticket was answered instantly. I am quite satisfied in general. As someone who is obsessed with security, Tempest is now #1 for me.

I definitely recommend it.

Honestly, not sure what happened to these guys but they've really let me and a lot of server owners down over the last year. From migrating servers with no prior warning, to the insane wait times for support tickets unless you pay obscene amounts, this just isn't it anymore, the hardware, the reports of lag - even from Rustified who use them as a host - they will be leaving there's no doubt.

Let's start with the simple fact that they started multiple datacenter migrations without any email warning, which is a very basic expectation from a hosting company.

Their Dallas point of presence suddenly went down with no prior warning, and it stayed down for 10 days. This caused a massive amount of damage to our very popular FiveM server, as the player database was stuck on the offline machine for that whole period of time. A lot of the players left, and thus our monthly revenue in February was 60% lower than the average we consistently held for years before.

This is just the start though, in fact, we had also purchased a Singapore server with them, but it was never online, as they sold us an offline server pending migration, and to this date they have not completed such migration. Their Singapore and Tokyo servers have been stuck in a limbo for nearly 2 months now, while their status tracking page reports them as online, funnily enough.

After everything got back online, players started complaining about timeouts and high packet loss. In fact, it was almost the same as if the server was being DDoSed, which voids the whole selling point of Tempest/PATH.

Finally, I want to talk about their atrocious customer support. The people I interacted with are James, Sean and Kyan. They are in fact very professional and good at responding to support tickets. The problem is not their professionality, which I don't doubt, but the fact that they cannot understand that their company is at grave fault, and they should do their best to remediate to the damage done, instead of giving the minimum possible that they can give according to their SLA, like robots.

Overall, I would never recommend Tempest to anyone, and I would advice to stay away from it if your income depends on your hosting service, as they are not a responsible company.

To the Tempest team: you have made bad business decisions, and brought a lot of customers down with you? Then bring some of that damage unto yourself too, as it's your responsibility. Don't just try to give the bare minimum, and if customers have a specific need, for example having the credit sent on a different machine than the one affected, then just help them out, out of courtesy and good customer service practice.
