I want to preface this review stating that I am in no way affiliated with the ownership. My only affiliation with this site is that I rent a VPS lu100 from them. I am not trying to advertise this site, but rather give an in depth review so other users know the good and the bad of this company.
So I have had my VPS slice with fastsh. it for over 2 weeks now and I can say that I am a very happy customer. I have the lu100, which is a vps on a server with 5 other users. This package is a great deal if you know Linux as I am allowed to have unlimited torrents, unlimited bandwidth, 100GB of storage and for me 512MB of RAM. They have since reworked their plans and this level is $20 and now comes with a little bit more RAM. In addition to this I have root access via ssh and NX. As far as speeds go I have seen them as high as 4MB/s per a connection with my fastest every being 7MB/s. As far as FTP speeds go they can vary, but I have never gotten less than 300KB/s per connection and I can usually max out at around 1.2MB/s. The catch with this package is it comes only with rtorrent installed and no webui so in order to setup a webui you must do it yourself. If you do not know linux command line then I would not recommend this plan for you as this plan has no support beyond what is already installed. However on their IRC channels a lot of time you can get help, but it is not guaranteed by any means. Although I must say that if you want to have a VPS this is the cheapest option out there, but make sure that you know what you are doing.
As far as other plans our concerned they offer a seedbox plan for $15 and $25 a month. I have personally not used these, but I have been told by other users that this is the best option for people who do not know linux. The lu100s is $15 and gives you 100GB of storage, unlimited torrents and unlimited bandwidth. Now there is a catch here these boxes are very crowded they typically have 12, yes 12, users on them for the 100GB and 10 for the 200GB. However since there is a high amount of RAM and good processors the only weakness is with the I/O. I personally have not heard of many complaints on this part, but I don’t know for sure. Although I have seen users post faster speeds on these shared boxes than I have received on my VPS. You also recive ssh access with this box, but no root. These boxs are managed and intended for someone who only wants a seedbox. Personally having just ideled in their IRC channel I can say that this is the way for 90% of users to go.
Now the bad news there is a wait for almost all services. There is never a guarantee time for setup for me it took around one week, but I have also seen more recently people getting their setup with in hours. Ultimately it is dependant on what they have in stock. If there is an open slot than you can expect to receive your log in very quickly less than 24 hours, but other wise it could be a little bit of time.
Personally I would recommend this company they are still very new and are still optimizing their setup and ordering process. Although I can say that this is not some fly by night operation the owner is well connected in the torrent community. This is a company created by torrent users for torrent users. Also it is one of the few if only seedbox companies which has IRC support in addition to a forum. There is almost always someone who can help via IRC and Forum post are replied to within 24 hours. Although this company does have some issues such as a lot of users on a box and wait times this is very easy to over look for what you get. Ultimately it is your call take a look at it though and ask questions. Currently the working link is fastsh. it / forum.
