Low End Box » st louis http://www.lowendbox.com Hosting Websites on Bare Minimum VPS/Dedicated Servers Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:07:19 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 2HOST – $59.88/Year 512MB Xen VPS http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/2host-4-99-512mb-xen-vps-is-back/ http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/2host-4-99-512mb-xen-vps-is-back/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:28:25 +0000 LowEndAdmin http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/2host-4-99-512mb-xen-vps-is-back/ 2HOST As I have stated in my 2009 best experience post, 2HOST was a surprising winner from their previous 5 bucks Xen offer. They have now advertised their new specials on WHT again — a similar package for 1 cent less at $4.99/month as it has been pointed out that it’s $59.88/Year when you go to the package page, which works out to be $4.99/month. You get

  • 512MB memory/1024MB swap
  • 5GB storage
  • 500GB/month data transfer
  • Xen/SolusVM

My previous VPS with them was in St. Louis MO so I assume their new packages are in the same location as well. Their disk space is a bit lacking but I guess it’s due to the use of 15k RPM SAS drives.

Here is their Mini VPS page with a few strictly unmanaged virtual server hosting plans.

OpenVZ Mini

  • 32MB guaranteed/128MB burstable memory
  • 5GB storage
  • 300GB/month data transfer
  • $3/month

Xen Mini

  • 32MB memory/128MB swap
  • 5GB storage
  • 300GB/month data transfer
  • $4/month

FreeBSD Jail Mini

  • 1GB Host memory
  • 5GB storage
  • 300GB/month data transfer
  • $5/month

No control panel. They will also charge you $20 if you need to have VPS rebuilt. Their website is hosted with DMEHosting’s reseller account. However from their WHT ads for dedicated servers, they seem to be using Primary.net in St. Louis for their dedicated servers.

You get:

  • 512MB memory/1024MB swap
  • 10GB storage
  • 300GB/month data transfer
  • HyperVM

Again from their about page, they have their own DC and their servers are in St. Louis MO. My immediate response is the same as the comments in the dicussion thread — “why come it’s so cheap?” According to their response it’s “because they can” and they would want to scale to 200 servers. According Wayback Machine the domain used to be owned by a CA company with servers in Chicago so I guess the ownership might have been changed, which has been confirmed by this WHT thread.

Well. It’s just $5/month…
