The domain was registered in 06/2011 making it 3 months shy of a year old but still a good sign. Their WHOIS information is public and shows the domain registered to “Private Layer INC” with an address in Panama (and their sites claims they are a Panama Corporation). They appear to have redundant DNS which should be standard these days but is worth noting. They have had 3 other offers posted in the past with the earliest being July of last year so there are hundreds of comments to scan through for an idea of what others have experienced. Setup time takes 1-12 hours according to their website so keep that in mind when ordering. They appear to have their own ASN from RIPE with only a single BGP peer (Red Transit LLC) for both IPv4 and IPv6 but still another good sign.
Lastly, their website is very simple but well laid out and easy to navigate. Information is pretty scarce though so it might be in your best interest to contac them via their live chat and ask some questions before ordering just to make sure you know what you are signing up for.

Russell from AlienVPS emailed me their “Spring 2012 Sale” offer, which can also be found on their WHT thread.
