Binary Computer Solutions – $4.95 512MB OpenVZ VPS in Chicago

Tags: , , Date/Time: August 17, 2011 @ 7:23 am

Binary Computer Solutions Blaine from Binary Computer Solutions emailed me about their special OpenVZ VPS package that fits LowEndBox’s listing criteria. “Budget Bonus” VPS plan can be ordered with this link, and it’s $4.95/month with the following features:

  • 512MB memory
  • 50GB storage
  • 2TB/month data transfer
  • OpenVZ

Payment in either PayPal or Google Checkout. Coupon code 10percent also gives 10% off first invoice. Servers hosted with SingleHop in Chicago. Apparently “the servers are 3.06GHz i3 540 with two cores assigned to each VPS”, i.e. low end stuff with possibly 7200RPM desktop-grade SATA drives. Domain has been registered since November 2008.

  2. If you click on ‘web hosting accounts’ they’re at the foot of the following page, not ideal though.

    I would never buy a thing from people who don’t even have a proper website, presto. It’s not 1990s anymore.

  4. 7200RPM SATA, aren’t these kind of specs used at home?

  5. Yup, they have issues.

    I clicked on the Webhosting Accounts link at the upper right and got the This Connection is Untrusted error about the SSH.

    Library won’t let me go any further.

  6. Singlehop is the selling point here since not I do not think I have seen many providers offering cheap prices with Singlehop…but the hardware specs might be a little disappointing though…

    Firefox doesn’t trust their SSL-Certificate. Not good.

      They seem to use the “Cascade Cloud Servers” from Singlehop.

    The website is a tad 1999s.

    Signed up, paid, got vps information quickly — BUT… the ip given to my vps is the same as the solusvm server (in other words the only way I can access the vps is through the control panel; console). My guess would be that they ran out of ip addresses but solus still handed out a server. I logged a support ticket with them, been about 2 hours… waiting on a reply to the ticket. Will update with i/o and speed tests once this issue is resolved.

      • Binary Computer Solutions didn’t provide any IP addresses for him, for his VPS specifically.

    PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller’s website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem.

      Let me guess – you are from China? This is a well known bug in the default WHMCS gateway module for paypal, a patch has been issued by WHMCS. The host should patch their system if they want to be able to accept payments from China.

        you guess it is right!and it means they didn’t accept payments from China.

        • Hello… To be clear, that is not the case. We have accepted _several_ payments from China with no issue – using Paypal. Also, we are not using WHMCS – so there is nothing to patch.

Some notes on commenting on LowEndBox:

  • Do not use LowEndBox for support issues. Go to your hosting provider and issue a ticket there. Coming here saying "my VPS is down, what do I do?!" will only have your comments removed.
  • Akismet is used for spam detection. Quoting webhostingtalk.com URL seems to get binned consistently here, but I do peek into the spam box frequently to publish those comments.
  • Use <pre>...</pre> to quote the output from your terminal/console, or consider using a pastebin service.
