Thanks to Pascal who tipped me this, as I was this Netherlands-based VPS provider VPS4Less.nl with VPS4Less.de that I’ve covered last year. For 3.99 Euro/month you get:
- 128MB memory
- 5GB storage
- 50GB/month data transfer
- CentOS 5.4
Price excludes 19% VAT — whatever that means as I’m not from eurozone either. Some tests from Pascal:
Seems pretty good so far, you get access to Xeon 33xx at 2,8GHZ 1 core. Network seemed a bit crowed though at max 6 MB/s from a nearby server. 105 points at the WHT unixbench, for what it’s worth.
Servers are in Amsterdam. Domain registered for > 2 years.
vps4less.de was the most AWFUL provider I’ve EVER used.
And I’ve used many.
That would be vps4less.de, which I think has no relationship with vps4less.nl mentioned here.
A Google translate of their terms (only in Dutch) states “Unless otherwise stated agreements are concluded for a period of one years.”… humm.
VAT means Value Added Tax. It’s a sales tax that’s added right into the price of what you’re buying.
If a price says incl VAT, and you’re outside of EU, you can take off that % as you don’t have to pay it.
The servers are awfully slow and so is the support, I suppose this is to be expected from a company that lacks in security by using hypervm (Which we all know has so many security flaws), doesn’t really care about its customers and provides such a cheap service. This is definately the worst vps provider I have ever come across.
Dear Tom,
I hope you meant vps4less.DE is awfully slow? Because this thread is about vps4less.NL.
vps4less.DE is a different company, and not related to vps4less.NL in any way.
