• 128MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

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)?

• FAST $12/YR
• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 15GB storage
• 1TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 500GB/month)
• $12/Year — Direct signup link

• FAST256MB
• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 2TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 1TB/month)
• $1.50/month — Direct signup link after discount

• FAST512MB
• 512MB guaranteed/1GB burstable memory
• 60GB storage
• 4TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 2TB/month)
• $2.50/month — Direct signup link after discount

• FAST1024MB
• 1GB guaranteed/2GB burstable memory
• 110GB storage
• 6TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 3TB/month)
• $6/month — Direct signup link after discount

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.

• 512MB memory
• 20GB storage
• 1000GB/month data transfer
• 2x IPv4 + IPv6
• OpenVZ/vePortal

Budget Windows VPS hosting starts from $6.36/month for “VPS Package #1″:

• 512MB memory
• 20GB storage
• 1000GB/month data transfer
• 2x IPv4 + IPv6
• Windows 2003/2008 on Xen HVM/SolusVM

Both Linux & Windows plans can be ordered in the following BurstNET locations: Scranton PA (test IP: 66.96.192.92), Los Angeles CA (test IP: 184.82.225.2) and Miami FL (test IP: 184.22.119.122).

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory

From their network page, those VPS are available with either Hetzner in Falkenstein Germany (test IP: 178.63.163.65), OVH in Paris France (test IP: 188.165.12.106) or BurstNET in Scranton US (test IP: 66.96.192.92). 123COM Ltd is a UK registered business based in Essex.

• 128MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth
• 2x IPv4 addresses
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

They take both PayPal and AlertPay. Sam told me that recently they have moved to a new datacenter which enables them to provide full 1Gb/sec unmetered bandwidth, whereas their previous offer only gives 400GB/month before throttled to 20Mbps. And from their last WHT offer, they seem to be at Los Angeles and Scranton, again! Didn’t they just move to Ubiquity Servers in Atlanta/Phoenix a few months ago, from LA and Scranton? The price also went up a bit, but you do get more storage space.

WHOIS is still masked, and they still have both NS on the same server. IRC, torrent and anonymous proxies are forbidden in the ToS.

• 512MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
• 30GB storage
• 750GB/month data transfer
• 2x IPv4 addresses
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Services are available in 3 different locations. Order it in New York City, or Orlando FL or Scranton PA. 3 great locations — but none are on the US West Coast though. Hudson Valley Host was conceived during summer of 2003, and domain was registered in 2004. There are quite a few restrictions in their terms of services, and IRC client/server and game servers are not allowed.

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 15GB storage
• 300GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
• 1x vCPU core
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Or “Silver 384″ for $31.50/Year with 384MB/768MB memory, 20GB storage and 400GB/month data. PayPal only. Terms of Services and Acceptable Usage Policy forbids IRC clients/servers, no adult/porn sites and a long list of “thou shalt not” — check them out and make sure you can comply. Servers with HostNOC/BurstNET in Scranton PA (test IP: 184.22.204.211). Domain created in July this year, and Justin is based in Johannesburg in South Africa.

• 512MB memory/512MB swap
• 15GB storage
• 512GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps ports (1Gbps in Jacksonville)
• 1x vCPU core
• Xen (Scranton) or KVM (Jacksonville/Kansas City) on SolusVM

Payment in either PayPal, Google Checkout or Amazon SimplePay. They have test IPs and downloads page listing out things you need to test out latency and routes. Here are the order links for Scranton PA (VolumeDrive), Jacksonville FL (VolumeDrive) and Kansas City MO (TalentHouse). If you are looking for US West Coast — well they also have this offer in Los Angeles CA for $7/month but only has 320MB memory.

Terii has been running Go-VPS-Go since February this year. They also got personnels in China doing customer support in Chinese. No IRC as per ToS/AUP, and no IPv6 either in most locations.

• 96MB guaranteed/128MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 100GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
• 1x IPv4 + 1x IPv6
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

PayPal only. The only available location currently is Scranton with BurstNet (test IP: 66.96.192.92), although their data centre page shows availability in France and UK. They are a registered company in UK, and has been in hosting business since 2007. See also their previous offer for unmetered servers in UK and FR.

Ken from UptimeVPS pointed me to their October offer on WHT. For €3/month (~USD$4.02), you can get the following VPS:

• 1024MB memory/1024MB vswap
• 80GB storage
• 800GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Sign up page. Payment in PayPal, Google Checkout, Moneybookers and AlertPay. On the WHT offer page it states that the service is available in either France with OVH (test IP: 87.98.184.76) or Germany with Hetzner (test IP: 176.9.37.252). However on the sign up page, Scranton in US is also an option. ~USD$4/month for a 1024MB OpenVZ node — that’s indeed quite cheap.

What interested me more, however, is their current special offers. €5/year (~USD$6.70) for a 128MB OpenVZ VPS?! By the time you click through the ordering link it actually shows up as €10/year (~USD$13.40) for 128MB memory, 128MB vswap, 10GB storage and 100GB/month data — which although is still cheap, it’s just comparable with yearly offers from other providers. 96MB got their reviews here, and from their previous offer here, people are sceptical but quite a few people are happy with the performance and service.

We’ll see how things turn out.

• 2GB memory
• 80GB storage
• 2TB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Payment options are 2Checkout, PayPal or Google Checkout. Currently only locations with stock available are Paris, France (OVH, test IP: 188.165.207.254) or Clarks Summit PA (VolumeDrive, test IP: 173.242.122.1). If the old UBC-based OpenVZ is not your thing, their Xen “X20″ plan is also on special at $6/month (via this sign up link) with 512MB memory, 1GB swap, 20GB storage and 1TB/month data, available in either Seattle WA (Sentris, test IP: 63.223.120.1) or Clarks Summit.

Up2VPS, from their previous posts, don’t really have the best comments and reviews on LowEndBox. However we can’t deny that they are cheap though, and people do come here solely looking for cheap VPS :)

Update: Seattle is now in stock. Test IP: 63.223.120.1

• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 200GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
• 1 vCPU at 1GHz
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

PayPal-only, and servers with HostNOC/BurstNet in Scranton PA (test IP: 184.22.204.211). See their previous offer for comments and discussions. YourVZ is run by Justin from South Africa, who was the winner of last Rugby World Cup in 2007, beating England 15-6 (garrhhh hates Wilkinson’s drop kicks). Who will win this year’s RWC is yet to be seen — South Africa again? The All Blacks? (Will we get discount from QuickWeb if that’s the case?) The English? (Cheap UK servers please!)

• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 200GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

It’s on old’ish Xeon X3220 boxes. Only payment method is PayPal. Two locations to choose from — Scranton PA with BurstNET, or Phoenix AZ with Secured Server. Erez also ran CheapDomainNamesDot.com which was featured here in July, but VPSCheap.info has much better website :) Domain registered in early July 2011, although Erez would have other Internet/hosting-related business for longer. Google “erezrb” for more info.

There are a few other low end plans at VPSCheap.info. For example “Maximum” which has 1024MB/2048MB memory, 40GB storage and 300GB/month data transfer for $5.90/month.

They have also got their Xen VPS stocks, and “Xen20″ at $6.95/month gives you

• 512MB memory/1024MB swap
• 20GB storage
• 1TB/month data transfer
• Xen/SolusVM

Here is the related WHT offer post. Payment available in PayPal, AlertPay and Google Checkout. Servers in either Scranton PA with VolumeDrive (test IP: 173.242.122.155) or Seattle WA with Sentris (63.223.120.1). Up2VPS has been around since 2009. You’ll probably find Daniel from Costa Rica answering all your inquiry here.

• 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
• 10GB storage
• 200GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

It scales all the way up to “Silver 768″ which is $6/month with 768MB/1536MB memory, 30GB storage and 800GB/month data. YourVZ only accepts PayPal. Servers with HostNOC/BurstNET in Scranton PA (test IP: 184.22.204.211). Check their ToS and AUP to make sure you agree with the terms there. For example, under AUP, Disk Space — “YourVZ.com Customers may not initiate the following… Use 90% or more of alloted system CPU resources for longer then 180 seconds or 2% of the servers CPU resources for longer than 5 minutes“ (Updated: Fixed by Justin). Sounds pretty, hmm, restrictive?

I do like the short quip next to the Linux distro though. For example: “CentOS — ENTerprise OS”. “Scientific Linux — Basically Enterprise Linux” (okay, both of them are built using open sourced RH Enterprise Linux). But ZFS? That can’t be in used on their nodes, can it?

YourVZ.com is registered by Justin from Johannesburg, South Africa merely a month ago so we are still uncertain whether the service would be able to carry out for the entire year. Silver 384/512/768 do have monthly payment though.

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 50GB storage
• 100Mbps unmetered bandwidth
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Direct sign up link here. PayPal only at the moment, and somehow it does not add the 20% VAT at checkout. It also requires you to read through 15 pages of ToS hosted at Scribd without any easy way doing keyword search. They are a UK registered limited company though (company number 07715839 since July 2011), despite being on an .ORG domain. 123COM has been providing hosting since 2007 according to this WHT post. Domain however has only been registered since May this year.

Servers are in either Scranton PA or Manchester UK (probably BurstNET in both cases), which you can select on the ordering page. They are also having France and Germany locations coming up according to their Data Centre page. Do note that “West Coast, US” should actually be East Coast. Now I wonder how they can actually provide 100Mbps unmetered in those locations at this price.

Daniel from ZazoomVPS has sent me some pretty nice offers for the LowEndBox readers. Two choices and one price — $7/month. It gets you either a KVM plan (KVM sign up link) or an OpenVZ plan (OpenVZ sign up link). Very similar spec:

• 1GB memory/1GB swap for KVM and 2GB burstable memory for OpenVZ
• 30GB storage
• 1.5TB/month data transfer
• KVM/OpenVZ + SolusVM

Servers with VolumeDrive in Scranton PA. I guess most people here would be able to tell the difference between KVM and OpenVZ. One for full hardware virtualization and alternative OS install. Another one for better performance and simplified installation, management and upgrade/downgrades.

Too cheap for my liking, nor is Scranton my preferred location but some of you guys are going to take up the offer anyway. Daniel has been quite an active participant here on this blog, although haven’t seen him much on LowEndTalk.

Michael from Forever Hosting sent me a new offer last week. Similar offer as last time, but in Scranton PA rather than Los Angeles CA. It’s $19.95/year with the following spec:

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 35GB storage
• 500GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Direct sign up link here. They also have an offer of $4.95/month for 512MB/1024MB memory, 40GB storage and 700GB/month data transfer, if you don’t want to pay annually. They are almost a year old now, as their domain was registered in August 2010. However there seems to be a transfer of domain ownership from Colin to Keith in Sydney, Australia. Sold? They also had a few issues with their website earlier this month. Some VPS were reported off-line, and I wonder whether everything has resolved.

• 1GB guaranteed/2GB burstable memory
• 40GB storage
• 1TB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Servers with VolumeDrive in Clarks Summit/Scranton (test IP: 173.242.122.155), as Seattle appears to have sold out. However Seattle location is available in other plans. For example “UP30″ gives 256MB/512MB memory, 30GB storage, 1TB/month data for $3.99/month is available in Seattle (test IP: 63.223.120.248). “Xen15″ gives you a Xen VPS with 200MB memory, 1GB swap, 15GB storage, 500GB/month data transfer for $4/month. You can also use promo code lowendbox10 on the two plans above to get 10% off discount.

Owner is from Canada and Daniel, who has been commenting in previous posts, was from Costa Rica. Domain created in September 2009 with two NS having the adjacent IP addresses. No SSL over WHMCS.

• 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
• 25GB storage
• 200GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

Servers with VolumeDrive inside BurstNET DC in Scranton (test IP: 173.242.123.147). At least it has a valid SSL certificate during ordering. Its About page claims to be US/UK based. However when I first saw the website, it looks exactly the same as Canada-based VPSRocket who went into dead pool in April. So I replied John asking whether there’s any association, and I got the response saying that they simply bought the design. Ahem. At the same time “Volt-Host.com” is still registered to Mark P of failed VPSRocket, and MisterTickle who posted the WHT offer for Volt-VPS has Volt-Host listed under his contact information.

Domain was registered in April 2011 with WHOIS privacy protection. They are using CloudFlare for DNS but their website does not seem to be sitting behind it. WHMCS is licensed to a completely different person, which with a bit of googling shows he’s also Canada-based. So maybe they have purchased not just the design but the whole business? I’ll label it with Buyers Beware for this one, and would wait a few months to see whether it would follow the same fake as VPSRocket.
