Hosting Websites on Bare Minimum VPS/Dedicated Servers

GigaTux – £47.88/Year 128MB Xen VPS in UK

Tags: , , , Date/Time: January 29, 2010 @ 12:12 am

GigaTux Marc from GigaTux emailed me about their offer. GigaTux is based in UK and has been in business for almost 3 years (since Feb 2007).

I have produced three coupon codes exclusive to LowEndBox.com, valid until 28 Feb 2010 or until stock run out. Discount are recurring.

LOWENDBOX-YEAR Taking £48 off the price of a yearly package.
LOWENDBOX-3MONTH Taking £12 off the price of a 3-month package.
LOWENDBOX-MONTH Taking £4 off the price of a 1-month package.

So taking their cheapest package (Uno L), prepay for 12 months, apply the coupon, it should now come down to £47.88/Year (£3.99/month or USD$6.44 as of today). The package includes

  • 128MB memory/128MB swap
  • 5GB storage
  • 50GB/month data transfer
  • Xen

Their servers are Xeon E55xx Nehalem minimum, and are in Maidenhead UK. They have a large collection of Turnkey Linux distributions range from Django stack to Zimbra box, and from the website it looks like they know what they are doing.

    Upon request, you can have access to all four cores. We don’t want you running idle clients (e.g. distributed.net or SETI), but that’s about it. We do not restrict CPU frequency, so you do have access to all four full cores.

    As LowEndAdmin said, setup is free for 3 months or more.

    Remember that you have to use the postfix of -YEAR, -3MONTH or -MONTH for these vouchers – they will not work otherwise.

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.
