miniVPS

Simon @ miniVPS, registered in Scotland in the middle of 2011  is the unmanaged VPS part of Xavvo Ltd mentioned that they have recycled some cancellations on the £10 ($16.15) /year plan and can now offer some limited stock.

The offer is also posted on WHT, so except it to clear out fast. This time it’s a little less bandwidth then previous offers but still plenty to come around.

As a bonus to this offer, Simon is also offering 25% discount on their UK plans in Manchester. The package shown here (which was out of stock when writing this) is the largest plan that fits within this sites posting rules but you will still get the discount on larger plans.

VMPort acquired by FTNHosting

Date/Time: May 14, 2012 @ 12:48 am

Today it was announced that FTNHosting had acquired a popular LEB company, VMPort. I decided to write up this post to mix up the content on LEB a bit and because Ashley (from VMPort) has been an active member of the community for quite some time so this announcement has been encountered with mixed feelings, some excited about the change and some, well, not so excited. Change is never fun but sometimes it is needed, in this case the benefits to the current VMPort clients appear to outweigh the negatives but there’s still a hole being left where VMPort once was. There is a very informative thread on LET about this here (along with a copy and paste of the announcement on VMPort’s site for confirmation).

Having not used VMPort before, I was still a bit saddened as I read Ashley’s post about the reasons behind the decision but, I am sure it is all for the best for the clients and for the VMPort staff. Best of luck to the VMPort clients going through the transition, to the FTNHosting staff for acquiring some big shoes to fill, and to Ashley for all future endeavors.

5ite.com – $5.57/mo OpenVZ 384MB in Seattle

Tags: , , , Date/Time: May 10, 2012 @ 1:02 am

5ite

Nancy from 5ite.com sent us a congratulations email on the transition after the DDOS attacks and let us know at the same time that 5ite.com has listened to their customers demand for additional nodes and IPs so recently they added Seattle to their locations.

To get things started in Seattle, Nancy offers the LEB community a spring promotion at that location, if you sign up and want to use Chicago instead of Seattle as location send a ticket through their support and your VPS will be moved there. However, Nancy lets us know that they are trying to phase that location out, it was a location that was inherited from the previous owner of 5ite.com. Story and links about the sale can be found here from January.

Nancy is also letting us in on a little “secret”, 5ite.com is checking out another location in Ashburn, Virginia and don’t be surprised if we would get a similar offer ones that goes live ?!

Anyway, here is the spring promo package!

30 GB of premier disk space
3 TB of super fast bandwidth
384 MB of guaranteed RAM
512 MB of Burstable RAM
CPU: 1 Core
1 dedicated IP included
No Coupon Code required-
just select the promo listed here

Test ip for Seattle here: 216.18.231.50

The previous/existing coupon offers (25%-30%off) on LEB all still work, however, those coupons do not apply to this exclusive offer.

 

ChicagoVPS – $6.45 512MB XEN VPS in Chicago

Tags: , , , Date/Time: May 7, 2012 @ 2:26 pm

ChicagoVPS

ChicagoVPS goes XEN again … Same offer as in February this year, but the openVZ packages are priced a little lower then last time. ChicagoVPS has been around for a long time, first offer in October of 2010 and perhaps the most featured provider on LEB? I haven’t done any scientific research about it so I might be wrong.

However they have many happy customers and a few not so happy customers, but who hasn’t?

Chris, who e-mailed their latest offer had their yearly Professional OpenVZ price a little to high for the LEB price plan, nothing an email with Chris couldn’t sort out.

Don’t forget that anyone who has service with them also get a free 25 slot mohawk Voice Server.

You can order it here after you picked up one of these packages:

InceptionHost

Anthony from InceptionHosting is back with an exclusive LEB offer, It is similar to the last offer but with more resources. For €6/Quarter (~USD$2.61/month approx) you get the following specs

128MB XEN VPS in Phoenix

  • 128MB memory/128MB swap
  • 7GB RAID-10 protected storage
  • 200GB/month data transfer  @ 100mbps (un-metered inbound)

128MB XEN VPS in Netherlands

  • 7GB RAID-10 protected storage
  • 300GB/month data transfer @ 1gbps (un-metered inbound)

Order €7/Quarter - Direct signup link for Netherlands

Both locations have the same price but with slighty different specifications like IPv6, 1Gbps port and more data transfer is in Netherlands location. Anthony was nice enough to pour in some goodies the last time it was posted, but dont expect the same again. This offer is even better then their current LET offer.

Payment in either MoneybookersSkrill or PayPal. Servers in the Netherlands (test IPv4: 128.204.195.115, IPv6: 2a00:7b80:3019:12::2ef1:902e) and Phoenix (test IPv4: 199.30.48.191) at the moment. IRC is allowed. Please do take some time to read their TOS and if you do signup, subscribe to their Announcement RSS feed which is always updated with what’s going on.

InceptionHosting is incorporated in the UK as company number 07504587 (which shows them as OVERDUE on return since 22/02/2012) and it has been regularly featured here. Anthony is very active on LEB providing a solid service. Interesting traceroute to their Netherlands IPv4
