First impression

Server Mania is a hosting company that offers primarily higher end hosting solutions. They don’t have any shared hosting options, so if you are just starting a small personal or small business site this is not likely the company for you. For VPS and dedicated and cloud servers, however, they do have a nice selection.  The company has facilities in New York, California, Illinois and Georgia to ensure they can meet the needs of customers throughout North America.

They were founded in 2002 and while their servers are in the United States, the company itself is based in Toronto, Canada.  Overall they do an excellent job at providing high quality hosting that is fast and stable at all levels. If you run a busy site or business, this company can almost certainly meet your needs.

MilenkoServerMania killed our old company and almost our lives. Avoid them! If you’re considering purchasing any service from this terrible company, run away before it’s too late. They will cause you endless stress, pain, and eventually, cost you your wealth. Let me explain how ServerMania destroyed everything we spent 11 years building. ServerMania performed emergency power maintenance on 7th October 2024, between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM EDT. During this period, our main server, which hosted our website, was hacked and encrypted with ransomware known as JungleSec. Even worse, our backup server, located at a completely different physical ServerMania location with separate usernames, login credentials, and more, was also hacked. We contacted ServerMania, but they claimed everything was functioning smoothly on their end and suggested we restore our website using backup data, which had also been hacked and encrypted. After conducting an internal investigation, we found that the hacker had accessed the server via a vulnerability in ServerMania’s IPMI hardware. The evidence strongly suggested that this hardware wasn’t properly configured, allowing hackers to take control of our servers with default credentials. It became apparent that this was likely a company-wide attack, affecting multiple servers across various physical locations. Initially, ServerMania denied any hacking or issues, constantly advising us to restore from backup, even though those backups were also encrypted. After persistent pressure, they finally admitted to the hacking attack and informed us that they had disabled the IPMI hardware “to prevent further problems.” ServerMania then requested we provide the ransom payment file and an encrypted file, hoping they could decrypt the data, but their attempts failed. No data was recovered. Subsequently, ServerMania issued an ‘Urgent Security Notice’ acknowledging the IPMI security threat and stating that JungleSec ransomware was exploiting IPMI vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized server access. They confirmed they had disabled IPMI access to all affected servers to mitigate the risk. This admission confirmed that the vulnerabilities in ServerMania’s infrastructure, created by them, were responsible for the hacking. In a pitiful attempt to address the issue, ServerMania offered us a one-month free subscription as compensation—an insult considering the scale of the damage. Prior to the attack, we had already experienced numerous issues, including servers shutting down without explanation and previous emergency power maintenance incidents. The hacker attack took place during a second maintenance window, suggesting that ServerMania may have known about the IPMI hardware vulnerabilities for months but failed to inform us, leaving our data exposed. Very importantly, ServerMania not only failed to inform us about their hardware issues, but they also never asked for or received our permission to install IPMI hardware on our server. This catastrophic breach wiped out over 95% of our active users and around 90% of our content, including payment data and personal profiles. The thriving user community we had built over 11 years was destroyed, leaving our business and reputation in ruins with no viable solution for recovery. To make matters worse, their customer support team was utterly useless. They repeated the same unhelpful information in broken English, wasting our time and making a horrible situation even more stressful. Our legal team is now investigating several options, including media actions, to mitigate the damage caused by ServerMania. To anyone reading this, whether you’re a current or prospective client of ServerMania, steer clear before they destroy your company and possibly your entire livelihood. If anyone needs clear material evidence regarding these claims and how ServerMania caused and admitted to creating vulnerabilities that hackers exploited, feel free to contact me.Maaz KhanI recently purchased a hosting package from ServerMania, and I was quite dismayed to discover that I now only get 1 GB per account for free email. In contrast, for the same hosting package I purchased in 2019, I get 15 GB per account for free email. As a result, I lowered my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.Jordan JonesServermania are very affordable, but I wouldn't recommend them for the price range they operate in. They use outdated hardware, and this does reflect in the speed and performance you can expect. Your website is only ever as fast as the server it is on after all. Setting speed, performance, and reliability aside. VPS's are unmanaged by default, so we didn't have high expectations. But they very much take a 'your problem' approach to everything even issues that clearly relate to hardware and network.Cheap yes, worth it no.Adeel AkhtarIf pricing is not a big issue but reliability, dedicated support to setup everything and many times solve your issue, dedicated server with good specs then it will be your choice. The only down point is chat response is bit late but when they come they will satisfy you and pricing is too high, although you get custom server according to your needs so pricing will be down but in my case pricing are high with compare to other dedicated hosting providers.Francisco Panis KasekerThey offer good network and prices, but they are not the best choice. They have entry-level hardware and the prices are OK. They offer normal SATA SSDs with 300-500Mbps. They do not provide any SSD NVME. They provide 10gbps on the server port, but actuallly is not clear how much bandwidth you can use (and the peaks that are acceptable). We can not work with subjective terms. The servers are managed, but you can expect, sometimes, a lot of hours when you need help out of normal working hours (can be acceptable, due the prices). They do not offer a rescue mode tool, so you will depend a lot of support. The DDoS protection is not good and they will null route your server if you receive a high bandwidth attack. The dedicated server delivery time is not good (8 to 96 hours). If you need to scale more dedicated servers, is not a good company. One positive point is they offer some interesting locals like Amsterdam, but the prices are very high. They are like overselling datacenters (due prices), but a few servers offer unmetered bandwidth with high prices while other companies with best prices offer unmetered bandwidth with up to 1gbps of output guaranteed. The network uptime is really good if your hardware does not fail and you do not receive any kind of attack, but sometimes we can not count with that. I prefer 99,95% of uptime with better support and good anti ddos than 100% with a lot of non network risks.Mattew JohnsonServerMania has some of the most competitive prices in the industry. With such pricing, I was worried that the service could be substandard, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Thanks to the company's fast servers, I've had zero downtime.The company's support team is super fast, knowledgeable and very professional. On the flip side, they don't seem to have shared hosting packages and payments aren't refundable.
