I had a doubt to post this, because I would not be happy (having a fear of overcharge the servers) if others read it and buy the service :-P
Anyway, the service is so good, that I have to write my impression, till now!
A big “bravo” to Iperweb/Prometus! I’m talking about OverZold servers, that seemed too good to be true! I purchased one (4GB) just for testing, some weeks ago. I test it, benchmark it when was on empty state and i/o speed, download speed and sppedtest.net test was out of any imagination, for a service so cheap (5 pounds for 4 CPU Cores, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB DISK and 2000 GB Traffic!!!).
Then, I started tested with virtualmin, kloxo and, finally, Zpanel installation. I put some sites in there, not in a production state, and still the figures were blowed out my mind (for the cost of the server, again).
This lasted a couple of weeks and I decided to move my main production site (4K hits per day with heavy MySQL and script load) and two couple of other lighter sites in it, Joomla mainly, a wordpress and some other php scripts.
I host there the production sites, keeping always my (till now) main server on and updated, just in case! But, seems there was no need! Even for a (stated) oversold server, the service is solid rock.
Here are the stats (morning time in Greece, with sites loaded with visitors)

Conclusion:
Uncle, Maounique, all you in Prometeus and Iperweb are doing great job. Please, keep it that way, I would like to have the choice to afford buying and having more than one vps server exclusively for a small number of sites and running so smoothly, instead of buying a big “professional” vps for much more euros and even then don’t have the stability I have with your “oversold” (like the others don’t) server for the last 10 days.
