• 512MB guaranteed/2048MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 5Mbps unmetered bandwidth, or 1000GB/month data on 100Mbps port
• 2 IP addresses

Servers are in Kansas City, and I guess backed by the same support staffs as Virpus (which has mixed reviews when you search around). I have used Virpus earlier this year for about 2 months to test out several things. It was a relative old box (last generation Opterons), but the stability was not bad.

Servers are in Kansas City, and with cheap bandwidth it’s probably Wholesale Internet as well. Use this link to order. If you open a ticket and quoted “LEBSPECIAL 2ND MONTH FREE” you can also get your 2nd month free.

SimpleRack has been providing various services from shared hosting to colo. Their website tracerouted to Joe’s Datacenter in Kansas City so I assume that’s where are all the other services are located (including the VPS). Domain was registered for a bit more than a year. There is no indication that SimpleRack is not a one man show, and from the owner’s Facebook page he might have some other priorities. It does have an SLA though, probably covered by the DC.

• 1GB guaranteed/2GB burstable memory
• 40GB storage

That’s a lot of memory for the price you pay. 1 gigabytes — I actually have never owned a VPS with that much memory, and I have been with 20+ different providers for the last 3-4 years hosting various projects. Servers are with Wholesale Internet in Kansas City.

Domain has only been registered since March this year — well we do have a “launch” special here.

• 384MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 5Mbps unmetered bandwidth
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

The servers are located in Kansas City. Exactly the same package as AngiHost as well (and AngiHost is 55 cents/month cheaper), so I assume that it is also in the Oak Tower. Who would be hosting these servers? I have no idea but my guess would be with Joe’s or Wholesale Internet? As the plans are exactly the same, these might be reseller accounts — but who are they reselling?

Ostach itself has only had its domain registered since February this year, with WHOIS protected registrant info (argh!) From the website they also seem to resell BurstNet’s in Scranton, and someone else’s in Orlando (probably DimeNOC).

From its WHOIS info the domain has been registered by someone in Florida under “Agnima LLC” which is currently registered and active. While their website is hosted with Rackspace/SliceHost, under datacenter/network page it lists out two locations — Chicago IL or Kansas City. I suspect that the VPS is with the later, as 5Mbps reminds me Virpus’ VPS packages, which are also in Kansas City in Oak Tower facility.

While the domain has been registered since March 2009, the service might only been around for less than a month if this tweet is of any indication.

• 512MB guaranteed/2048MB burstable memory
• 25GB storage
• 1600GB/month or 5mbps unmetered bandwidth
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Servers are in Kansas City. Migration to SolusVM is definitely a good plus. I had used their service for 2 months — old Opteron hardware but overall it’s not bad.

• 512MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 400Gb/month data transfer

Test IP goes to Joe’s Data Center in Kansas City. From WHOIS it looks like a UK based business, although the domain has only been registered for 4 months.

• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 100GB/month data transfer

When you sign up you can choose either Dallas or Kansas City for location.

• 512MB guaranteed/2048MB burstable memory
• 25GB storage
• 5Mbps bandwidth
• 2 IP addresses
• OpenVZ/VSXPathway

Servers are in Kansas City. I’ve actually got one from them for around a month now, and

• Server/network has been responsive. Although I’ve not put any load on it.
• Equal share (i.e. not cpulimited) of 4x AMD Opteron 270. Old CPU but works well.

Personally I don’t really use control panels but I guess it would be something useful if you are not comfortable on the command line, or to use it to host sites for family and friends & give them the panel access.

• 512MB guaranteed/2048MB burstable memory
• 25GB storage (that’s the only thing different from U-VM-512)
• 5Mbps unmetered bandwidth
• OpenVZ/VSXPathway

Servers are in Kansas City colo with MidColo.com, according to this about page. 2GB burstable memory + 5Mbps bandwidth sounds massively oversold — but consider it’s just $7/month I don’t think anyone would complain. You do have to order via this link. 1st month fully managed (panel installation + setting up everything I guess), and you can get DirectAdmin for free if you pay 6 month in advance.

Sounds like a good cheap VPS from a provider that has been around for a while.

• 128MB memory
• 5GB storage
• 300GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ + SolusVM

Servers are in Kansas City. 7 days money back guarantee on their VPS products. Some interesting discussion on Reddit if you go and dig them out.

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 350GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/HyperVM

Servers are with WholesaleInternet.com in Kansas City.

• 128MB guaranteed/192MB burstable memory
• 15GB storage
• 350GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ with custom panel

They are running Linux kernel 2.6.26 so I guess probably Debian 5 based host nodes. Servers are in Kansas City, and you can actually see how each of their servers perform on their status page — talking about transparency from hosting providers! They have also been getting quite a few very good reviews when you google them. Certainly look like a well run company.

Via this WHT offer. ByteVPS has some pretty minimalistic web design, accompanying its minimalistic virtual server offerings. One one plan available on their website — “Byte” sized VPS for $4/month. Except when you click through the order page and it comes up as $5/month. Blame the ever-falling USD I guess :) Anyway, you’ll get:

• 96MB guaranteed/128MB burstable memory
• 5GB storage
• 75GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

The SolusVM IP address (60.234.45.xxx) points to a New Zealand ISP so I guess the VMs could be in NZ. That would certainly make it a very good offer consider majority of the low end boxes are in US or Europe The VPS servers are actually in Kansa City MO. Then I tried to do some background check on the business…

The OP of the deal on WHT, “MercuryWeb”, seems to be familiar. Indeed it has already been covered here back in June this year on their $4.90 128MB Xen VPS. It appears MercuryWeb’s address no longer shows their website (currently just a standard cPanel page for me). Well. It appears to be not the only business from Dan that has gone nowhere. My records also show that Codev Technology that we covered in November last year, which stopped taking new business back in April this year, and the website is currently offline — was also started by the same person.

Good on ya for being a serial hosting entrepreneur. All I did was playing Quake World when I was 19-20 at uni. Although buyers beware, as usual…

• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 100GB/month data transfer

VPS is hosted in either Kansas City MO, Scranton PA or in Germany. Like AMH Network, VPS Squad is also sitting on a newly registered domain. From past reports the reaction is mixed.

Via this WHT offer. W4 Networks is a new’ish web hosting company based in Queensland, Australia, with domain registered back in February this year. They have some new OpenVZ VPS offers that are managed with SolusVM. For $5.95/month, you get:

• 512MB memory
• 10GB storage
• 400GB/month data transfer
• 2 IP addresses

Servers are in either Kansas City with WholeSaleInternet, or Scranton PA with (my guess) BurstNET. It’s nice that with multiple VM management panels coming out to compete with open sourced HyperVM, it is driving down the per-server license cost. SolusVM at $10/node and VePortal at $7.50/node, and with a 16GB node it is not hard running 30-40 VMs inside. Good to see that providers acknowledging there still exists a market for budget low end virtual servers — as long as the customers know what they are getting.

• 64MB guaranteed/96MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 50GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ + In house customised panel

Again, the servers are in Kansas City, MO. They have also opened the server status page up to the public, so you can get to see what their servers have been up to. So far I can see 5 servers hosting VPS users, and when you drill down to the “Details” page, you’ll see them as 4GB RAM dual core machines (i.e. very lowend in today’s VPS physical node standard). I guess that also means they do not need to put in too many clients on a box.

It’s also on this WHT offer page.

• 80MB guaranteed / 192MB burstable memory
• 25GB storage
• 200GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ + In-House Control Panel (RAM CP)
• Arch, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Slackware, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu

It’s nice to see that they have a demo of their in-house built control panel (and explicitly stated that they are not using HyperVM). RAMCP is very functional (start/stop/restart VM, reload OS, download backups, basic stats) although not pretty (who cares at $5.99/month!) The servers are in Kanas City MO with Level 3, Cogent, AFS and KCIX connectivity. Their website is powered by RAM-CMS written by the owner — yes a developer-run provider which is always a good sign.

• 64MB guaranteed/128MB burstable memory
• 5GB storage
• 80GB/month data transfer
• HyperVM

One down side I see is that CentOS 5 is the only choice of Linux distro, which I think might not be that a good idea for low-memory VPSs due to yum uses significantly more memory than apt-get. According to their About page, the servers are in either Kansas City MO or Dallas TX. The WHOIS record certainly shows that it might be a very new company.
