HammerVM.com review

First Impression

HammerVM is a UK Cloud Hosting company, which specializes in offering outstanding and excellent KVM servers, for extremely competitive prices, with prices starting from £0.99/month, and processors such as AMD EPYC backed with a network up to 10Gbit/s, it's going to be really hard to find a better deal.

Trial Period

Although they don't offer a trial period, their prices, alongside their discounts and offerings (cashback on deposits, and discounts up to 35% off for your VPS's first invoice), the cost of entry isn't massive, and the price ranges offered do certainly give you the ability to test lower-cost packages before committing. They also have a great automatic refund system, that will issue a full refund to you any-time via account balance for any unused VPS time.

Billing cycles

They don't support yearly or quarterly purchases off-the-bat, you do need to actually contact them to arrange such an agreement, however, considering most providers want yearly commitments for the low-cost packages, it is refreshing that this provider lets you, for example, pay for a VPS that costs £0.99/month, for only 1 month, with no commitment.

Control Panel

They pride themselves on using a bespoke control panel, meaning, it's made by them, and they've expressed publicly they don't intend to use third party control panel technology for security concerns.

Limits

The only limit we impose, is being fair with your network usage, as they don't offer hard/strict-limits, they do have a fair usage policy you should read and stick to.

Security

HammerVM uses bespoke in-house crafted technology, such as their own billing portal, server manager, and more, for the purpose of defending against supply-chain attacks, this is vital in an industry such as cloud.

Operating Systems

They support a range of different operating systems, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, you're able to request custom ISO via tickets.

Support

The live chat service is active mostly during UK business hours, however it's been found that live-chat responses are not at all limited to UK working hours, and based on availability, you may be able to speak with an agent after-hours. On-site ticket support is provided as a standard form of communication. 

Conclusion

All in all, HammerVM seems like a solid host, providing extremely strong hardware, with dedicated resources, for minimal cost. If you're after a deal, they certainly have some very interesting offers, that include port speeds of up to 10Gbps.
