Via this WHT deal, QuillHost is offering the following VPS for $5/month.
- 64MB guaranteed memory
- 5GB storage
- 50GB/month data transfer
- CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora Core/Gentoo
As the control panel provided is HyperVM, I am assuming the virtualization technology used here is OpenVZ. You can also apply some coupon code (see linked WHT page) to get double RAM + space or 20% off lifetime (bringing it down to $4/month). IP of the main web site is at Colo 4 Jax in Jacksonville, FL, and I assume the hosted VPS will also be there as well.
Alright. Now it’s the nitpicking time — why you might not want to consider this host:
- There’s no website other than a copy of Client Exec that let you order VPS packages.
- According to WHOIS, the domain was created on 2 Oct 2008 — less than a month old.
- Contact information in WHOIS is privacy-masked. Most dodgy operations have their contact information masked as well.
- From the interaction between the owner and customers on that WHT post, I doubt the owner knows exactly what he is doing.
Good luck if you decided to go with this host!

I went with this host due to the vps being 4$
with coupon. So at the most I will lose 4 bucks
if they disapear.
the vps was setup in about 12hrs and it is hosted on a quad core server at Limestone Networks (in Dallas Texas)
seems to be fast and stable but Im not doing anything with it yet.

Looks like a good deal.
Posted 03 Nov 2008 at 6:53 am ¶The vps is decent, the only downside being that the 5$ vps plan (4$ with coupon) is limited to 100mhz on each
of the four cores.
my 5$ superbytes vps outperforms it by quite a bit as it is not limited in this way.

Posted 19 Nov 2008 at 4:46 am ¶It came back up last night some time. looks like
just the network dropped out.
I guess it wasnt that long.
Posted 19 Nov 2008 at 3:12 pm ¶I’ve bought the smallest plan. Its strange, I have 150 MHz from each core. So, I have a total of 600 MHz CPU, and 128 MB RAM (They offered me double RAM)
This sale is great. Just a new company, so there isn’t lot to say.
