The World IPV6 day has just passed, however, for average home Internet users like me, IPV6 remains a distant dream than a reality: my ISP does not support IPV6 and some of my friends, even those with some computing background, have no idea what IPV6 is. Therefore, when FitVPS advertised their IPV6-only VPS offer, I was really curious to see how it is looks like and the 99 cents price for the first 3 months made me decided to give it a shot. Product Information and Miscellaneous Based on this post on LowEndBox.com, here is what you get for 0.99 for the first quarter and $10 thereafter. However the prices have been down to $3 per quarter afterwards: There are also free upgrades offer to LEB readers, however I was been told the ports are already on 100Mbps port, hence you can either double the hard drive space or double Read More

OK, now you have done a great assessment, you know how much you are willing to pay approximately and the level of service you are going to get, and perhaps, you’ve even gone a step further from my previous post to start looking for a VPS provider and is somewhat shocked by the myriad number of choices that you have. The question then becomes, naturally, how do I find the few ones that you know you can trust with your precious websites/programs? Step 1: Reading reviews Few people actually bother to sit down and read reviews from the Internet these days, partially because if you search in Google by typing in “VPS Reviews”, there are perhaps millions of links shows up. On the other hand, most of the them are perhaps nothing more than meta tags embedded in the web pages, hoping to attract more traffic, and the remaining ones, Read More

Just received the message from Andrew from 123Systems: We actually just released stock less than an hour ago, there is 25 spots for the 128 plan and 25 for the 192 plan. Order link is https://123systems.net/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=149 and you can also view my previous post for more details about them, but make your move quick because only 25 are there! Good luck everyone and let us how it goes if you got one!

The first review is obviously on my XenVZ/OpenITC box, which is the very box that 96MB.com is sitting on. The original offer is no longer available, however as per the offer page on LowEndBox.com, here are the specification of this most low-end VPS that I have: Obviously Xen is what I chose as this is really what I see makes the offer attractive. Also, it was not mentioned that it also comes with 2GB of off-site backup with 2GB monthly transfer. Set up is almost instant, order paid via Paypal on 9:07PM, VPS provisioned on 9:38PM. The control panel is highly customized, and here is how it looks like: Some of the really nice features about this custom panels are: 1. Allow custom kernel through PyGrub, some users have reported here that they actually managed to get a few MB of RAM after making use of the custom kernels, however Read More

I just did a head count on my VPS today and here are what are available in my inventory at the time of writing: 1. 1 x XenVZ/OpenITC (Got it from this offer, no longer available) 2. 2 x BuyVM (The famous 15USD per year offer, normally out of stock, and there is actually a website dedicated to check if they are in stock or not here) 3. 1 x Quickweb Supa VZ1 (Description here) 4. 1 x Nix Communications (Got it from this offer, seems sold out at one point and more stock was added later on but it seems it is out of stock again) 5. 1 x IPAP.Co (Got it from this offer,  it is still being set up at the time writing, and reviews won’t be available until it is fully set up). In the next few weeks, I will be writing reviews for each and Read More
