Servers in either Nuremberg Germany or Chicago IL. This is actually worse when you compare it with previous offer given by Andrew, although the ordering link still works on that. They are now a part of a bigger company also means that you might be able to get phone support, and VPS might actually moved to migrated to their own facility in the future. Well, recent review wasn’t so positive. Maybe it’s just the migration pain, but hopefully things will become more stable.

Servers in PhoenixNAP in Phoenix AZ (test IP: 174.138.175.114). Jolly Works Hosting is based in Philippine and was founded in March 2009 — makes them almost 3 years old. Looks like they are trying to aggressively grow their customer base with this yearly plan. Being 3 year old and relatively good track record I do hope it’s not an attempt of pump and dump :)

There’s a bit more info on the same offer posted on WHT. Nodes are located in either Los Angeles CA or Scranton PA. Servers themselves are connected to 1Gbps ports, although what you might eventually receive depends on a lot of other factors. From section 9 of their Terms of Services, they would contact abusers if a VPS is slowing down others. They have been around for more than a year now.

If P2P, IRC and public proxies are forbidden according to ToS, what other applications would you use such VPS for (1Gbps unmetered but only 128MB guaranteed memory)?

Also note that provisioning is currently a manual process which can take up to 12 hours wait. According to CompaniesHouse, Castlegem Ltd has been registered since 2008 and they are boasting 1,400+ customers according to Bernhard. Bernhard was from Austria running the Progipark team that has been doing business since the ’80s, and been on the Internet since 1995.

They do have funny DNS server name. Fartling? YouNaughtyMonsters? Geez…

PayPal only. They own their hardware, which are colocated with HostDime in Orlando FL — see Nick’s data center hunting thread. Yes, it’s the same Nick who used to run RackMountain, which he sold it 2 months down the track. Lots of informative comments in the old posts there so do check them out. Anyway he is back! RhinoRack.net is a new venture that he has only recently started.

We’ll see how long this one is going to last.

Signup link here. If you pay yearly it will get discounted to $30/year. They take PayPal or Google Checkout. Servers with PhoenixNAP in Phoenix AZ (test IP: 199.30.48.138). IRC and legal P2P are allowed. ico7 Network is based in UK. Domain has only been registered since May 2011 and wasn’t trading until November so pretty much a new provider. Any one knows about these folks?

• 20GB storage

Payment in either PayPal, Google Checkout or AlertPay. Servers with SingleHop in Chicago. Do note that they are doing firewall white-listing on allowed ports for incoming connections (See comments from previous offer), but you can use support tickets to get them to open ports for you. Domain has been registered since November 2008.

• 2048MB memory

Direct signup link, and servers are with ColoCrossing in Chicago IL (test files here). Chris is away at the moment so thanks to Jeremiah for setting this up. ChicagoVPS has been around since October 2010 and has been providing great services here.

• Linux-128-Yearly
• 128MB memory

Throw in $5 more and you can get a plan that’s much more useful with burstable memory.

For their OpenVZ VPS plans with 512MB memory or more, you can also use coupon code STOCK0 to get 40% off recurring discount when you pay annually. For example 512MB OpenVZ plan would be $43.20/year after the discount.

Servers with Limestone Networks in Dallas TX I believe. 123Systems has been in business for almost 2 years and have lots of offers previously listed here.

• 512MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 700GB/month data transfer

Their servers are located in Kansas City MO with, hmm, Joe’s Datacenter, which you can find the test IP and test files on their website. I suspect most Kansas City offers here are either with Wholesale Internet or Joe’s DC. You can google “Joe’s Datacenter” and read all the reviews, although I think the chance of these guys going to the dead pool would be a lot smaller than any other provider which I have listed over the last week simply due to its size.

Well, that’s it! I can hear the fireworks starting in the background so I better get ready welcoming the year twenty-twelve. Happy new year everyone!

• 512MB memory
• 25GB storage
• 500GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps port
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Direct sign up link here. On the form it says “Located in Missouri” which I presume would be in Kansas City MO, where many other Missouri-based offers are. Interestingly SSL was half-working in their last month’s offer, but is completely borked this time. Those are E3-1230/1240 nodes with 16GB RAM and RAID10 drives. Check their last two offers for their background + comments/reviews. Here is one provider whom you don’t really get to see on main stream web hosting forums (WHT), but advertise on HackForums. It might be the type you are interested in, but walk with caution (especially since it’s still a pretty new provider).

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory

As Mike said — “12 bucks for all of 2012″. Similar to FastVPS.co offer that I just posted, which is also $12/year, but with VPSCheap.net (1) domain has been registered for almost 2 years, and (2) a LowEndBox regular was happy with his purchase. Servers are with FDC in Chicago IL (test IP: 208.77.23.240).

• FAST $12/YR
• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory

Payment in either PayPal or AlertPay. Yes I know on the WHT post it says “cut by 50% our price on Semi-Annually and Annually Billing cycle”, however tried on monthly billing and the coupon code still works. Servers in Scranton PA which I presume would be with VolumeDrive (test IP: 199.168.142.37). Personally I think $2.50 for 512MB/1024MB would probably be the best value here. There is no need to commit for the whole year, (almost) everyone can afford to lose $2.50, and 512MB is plenty for many applications. They are using Xeon X3450′s with 16GB memory and 2TB SATA. IRC, Gameservers and Shoutcast are allowed, according to Erik.

Domain itself was registered by “Nicholas Eouani” in Florida in October 2011 which makes it merely 2 months old. However the registrant email address led me to a different person — “Emeric Olenga” of Montreal Canada, who was on WHT previously running a hosting company which he dumped 4 years ago. Anyway, I would still treat this as a new company and the plan is “too good to be true” at the moment. Some brave hearts would definitely give it a try, and we’ll see how things stabilise over the next couple of months.

They have been around since 2003. Do take a look at their Network page and Data Center page, and Abdicar’s explanation here. It seems that they have some local peers for Costa Rica connections, and for all the other out-bound it’s going through their “patent pending” “complex VPN” via Panama to their US end point. So I guess if you are connecting from anywhere else in Central/South America, you’ll still have to route through US. With 1Mbps it means it might have some limited applications though.

• 128MB memory/256MB swap
• 7GB storage
• 500GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
• 2x vCPU cores
• Xen/SolusVM

You can pay by either PayPal or Google Checkout. Servers with GoRack in Jacksonville FL (test IP: 68.67.68.165). If you are on LowEndTalk I guess Joe needs no introduction. They have been around for more than a year now and runs a solid shop there.

• 384MB memory
• 10GB storage
• 1000GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (then unmetered on 10Mbps)
• 1x vCPU core
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Payment in PayPal or credit card. Servers with Hetzner in Germany. Although the ordering page is on secure.layeredlink.com, there is actually no SSL to protect your information. Domain has been registered since 2008, however I can’t seem to find any indication that they have been selling hosting for more than a year. Domain info is also masked out by privacy protection. While that prevents me from digging more on their background, that might also suggest that there might be something to hide. Both NS are also hosted on the same server, which is not a good practise (although commonly done by some of the low end providers here).

I also can’t seem to find anything about LayeredLink on WHT. They do, however, post advertising posts on need-help.org — often associated with nulled scripts and other “dark side of the Internet”. Well, with a username like w4rez, I am not really sure whether you want to rest your sites there. Update: see Bernd’s rebuttals here.

Anyway. It’s actually a post that was written 2 weeks ago but was reluctant to post. I’ll be posting some other new provider offers later today.
