There are definitely not that many providers offering unmetered services and is within the low-end budget type of range, a few of them which claimed to do has either proven not to be the case. However, Alvotech was daring enough to offer such services at a very low price and yet still received quite a few great comments about the services they provide. Is it really as good as many people have claimed them to be? Let’s find out. General Information and Set Up By default, Alvotech’s website is in Deutsch, which is understandable since they are, after all, German company. They do have a toggle on their home page for those who are not that efficient with German, although I am not sure how many people will complain when they have to click on an American flag to see the English version: Jokes aside, unlike many of the other Read More

Another weekend and the time for another VPS review! Scrolling down the list of the providers that I need to review for, it seems this weekend is the time to review the second request on my review list, which is BassHost. General Information and Set Up I have to admit BassHost is perhaps one of the “hottest” hosting providers that I will ever get to review, after all, I really do not see how many hosting providers actually put a pretty hot young lady on their home page: On the VPS plan page, you can see all the plans available and the prices: The order page is not using HTTPS and for some reason, it is still the default WHMCS set up where you will need to enter the domain name even for registering the VPS, which is rather unnecessary: Set up was instant and in the confirmation email, the Read More

Recently, one of my earlier reviews for Inception Hosting was featured on LowEndBox.com, although I was excited and honoured that 96MB.com could receive such great recognition from one of the leading websites in the low end VPS community, it also get me curious about Inception Hosting. It has been more than two months since I last (and first) reviewed their VPS services and Anthony and Inception Hosting seems to have done pretty well recently, so how are they doing right now? Let’s take a look. General Information and Set Up To make it comparable to my previous review, I signed up once again on their VPS Lite package, which, for 8.99 Euros per month, would give you the following specifications: Although with current discount code that Anthony have made available here, you are looking at about 4.50 Euro (about 6.50USD) per month. It is good to know that their Client Read More

Burst.Net has been probably the oldest and largest budget VPS providers in the world. With 20 years of history and customer all over the world, it is certainly a giant in this VPS industry. As such, when they offered a first month free deal on LowEndBox.com, I decided to sign up for one and see how it works. General Information and Set Up First, I need to clarify that the offer presented on LowEndBox is not exactly a free month, you will need to pay one dollar of set up fee, which, according to the comment here, the fee is strictly for fraud prevention only. In any case, to take advantage of this offer, you will have to go to this page here and then select one of the VPS for a free month, under the category of Dedicated Servers: I signed up with the lowest VPS #1 Plan with Read More

I have been writing over a dozen of articles by now talk about good and bad things about VPS providers, so I think it is only fair for me to write something about the “bad” things related to 96MB Low End VPS Reviews. First, the period I am reviewing the VPS is relatively short. For most of the review-only VPS that I have (i.e., VPS that I did not purchase for myself but just for the review), I will perhaps log into the VPS at most half a dozen times through the review, and collecting the data during this period. Therefore, unfortunately, I can not measure the consistency of the performance. Hence, a bad performance does not necessarily mean the host is using really cheap hardware, but it could just because some abuser(s) are on the node at the time I was taking my readings. Also, although I have tried Read More

It was the first thing I did after getting home from my photography class to check my email since I was away for the whole afternoon (classes itself was three hours and add another 3 hours of commute to it), and I saw this dreaded email from UptimeRobot saying 96MB.com is down. I was able to SSH into the server although logging in alone took me a minute. I checked SolusVM panel and the VPS was shown as online, only 80MB of memory was used (out of 96MB) and half of the hard drive space was used. I have rebooted the server and it seems to be up now, I am still trying to read through the access logs and PHP errors to see if it is just because 96MB.com is getting too popular or someone is trying to crash the website. Having said that though, I think I need Read More

Circus was the first one to comment on the post regarding getting a 96MB review for one of the providers, so although this was not exactly as per my schedule, I decide to offer circus what he wants first, a review on BitCable. General Information and Set Up It is pretty tough for me to find some information on BitCable, although their domain has been registered last year according to here and here to Global IT Tech LLC, there has not been too many reviews floating around. Circus was quick to point out that the company is run by a high school student. The website carries a very minimalistic design, everything was kept clean and straight-forward, which is something that I personally like: There are only two product lines offered by BitCable: Shared and VPS hosting, and for VPS hosting, only KVM platform are offered. The sign up page in Read More

It has been a while since my last post about BuyVM and several things have happened since. Over all of them, the biggest change was that they are no longer with Hurricane Electric and instead moved all their servers to Coresite.com, as indicated here. How are the pony VPS doing now after months of improvements? 96MB decided to take a quick peek just before the new stock opens again in a few hours’ time. Note that this is a not a full review since many thing have not changed since my last review,  instead, I will only focus on things that are changed. OS Selections Several OS templates have been added to the BuyVM’s list of OS selections since the last time I reviewed them, most notably Debian 6, CentOS 6 and CPanel DNS-only template, which according to Francisco, would use very minimal amount of memory. Here is a list Read More

Anthony has just left a comment here for their latest promotion, basically with promo code “supermaxi5”, first 5 orders gets the following VPS for 9.99 per month: 1024 MB Dedicated Ram 1024 MB SWAP 80 GB HDD Storage 400 GB per Month Bandwidth Dedicated IP Address SolusVM Management Panel 24×7 Instant setup Direct link to sign up is here and if you would prefer to use my affiliated link, feel free to use this one. Severs are with Snel Sever DC in Netherlands and their last review on 96MB showed some pretty good results.  

Secure Dragon has always offered me some pleasant surprises, and although barely two weeks ago I have reviewed their ultra-low-end 96MB OpenVZ product line, I have received an email that they are offering a Xen ultra-low-end product as well. For 16 USD/year, which is barely 2 USD more than their OpenVZ equivalent offered by Secure Dragon, I decide to give it a shot to see. Basic Information and Set Up As per Secure Dragon’s website, here is the detailed on their new 96MB Xen PV VPS: Note that the swap space offered in this case is pretty big compare to the dedicated memory, which might be helpful if you need to use more than what you are assigned to once a while. However, do note that although in OpenVZ, burstable memory is actually still RAM, in Xen, the swap space is actually hard drive space, therefore it is extremely slow Read More
