As 96MB.com grows everyday, so is the number of requests for a review of the services, and as the pile grows up, there is often one or two that tend to slide through the crack. YourDomainGoesHere (YDGH) is one of them, I have ordered and being paying for their services for more than half a year and each and every time I paid my invoice, I kept telling myself I will need to get this review done next week, and…the cycle just repeated. So finally, I have decided to write about them and take a look at how their services are performing. (On a side note, I do pay for every VPS that I have written on this blog, except the ones that I labeled clearly as part of the promotions/beta testing, I will normally ask for a refund for the VPS that I paid purely for review purposes – Read More

If you have been reading my VPS reviews recently, you would realize that I was at least, for a while, looking for some relatively “high” end VPS packages (of course, using the LEB standard), particularly with large hard drive space and a reasonable amount of RAM. The reason for me to do this is pretty simple, I was looking to build a fail-safe private network of backups using Crashplan and headless VPS. As such, when OneProvider posted their offer on WHT, I decided to take the dive and take a look. Basic Information and Set Up One Provider is part of Brainstorm Network Inc., which seems to own a few brands, besides OneProvider, they are also the owners of BSNServers and HostHaha (which is one of those hosts providing “unlimited” shared hosting, which is one of the most debatable concept on WHT, however 96MB.com is not about shared hosting and Read More

Recently, I was in need of a larger VPS to put a few of my dead projects on, which was originally placed on a Nix Communication’s VPS in Montreal (which also acted as a test server to test the upload speed, which resulted in some pretty harsh comments on LEB recently). I have a relatively limited budget and the sale from Buffalo VPS was definitely a great deal for me: cheap, great latency to Canada and the datacentre seems to have some DDOS protection, therefore, I decided to give them a shot and see how it goes. General Information and Set Up BuffaloVPS is a reseller of ChicagoVPS, and as such, they share the same hardware nodes and services, even the same SolusVM control panel. In the particular promotion that I signed up for, here is what you get for 40 USD a year: Note that there is no burstable Read More

The hottest topic on the low end VPS community this week is definitely not a lot far from ChicagoVPS and their seems insane offer which has made more than 150 discussions on the post and another over 20 posts on webhostingtalk.com within the 24 hours after the topic was started, which is pretty impressive. I was one of the curious souls out there as well and decided to sign one up and see how it works. General Information And Set Up On the web page, the pricing model seems more or less aligned with the “regular” pricing: Click on Order Now would bring you to the normal (and almost getting annoying) domain registration page on WHMCS, which is using HTTPS connection: I know for shared hosting, such information in rather important since whatever domain you have put up here will eventually becomes part of your CPanel user name. However for Read More

It has been a while since the last time I have signed up for a VPS, after all, the last time I did a count, I have already had 7 VPS under my name. Other than the VPS hosting this blog, and another one hosting another few low-traffic blog that I have, the rest are pretty much idle all the time. However, when IonVM offered a free 48-hour trial VPS, I figured it won’t cause me too much harm to sign up for another one, so I decided to give it a shot. Set Up and General Information Entering the signing up page in their WHMCS system using HTTPS, there was not too much information revealed about the trial VPS, however, it is interesting to note that the sign up page allow you to activate TUN/TAP devices during sign up, which is rare, if not the first one (BuyVM has Read More

It was not exactly my plan to get another VPS, after having 6 VPS and 3 of them are practically sitting idle. However, when I saw this test offer from TelVPS, my finger start to get itchy again. After all, for 3 cents (for 24 hours), you can’t really lose too much. Basically, this is what you get for 24 hours for 3 cents (yes, you read it right, USD 0.03): Server is located with ServerCentral (they have a link to the information sheet on the DC here) in Chicago. Setup and Control Panel The set up was instant, I got my payment received email the same time as I got my VPS login! Although it is no longer rare these days, it is always something great. Control Panel is the standard SolusVM panel with all the standard functionality: What is really great is that they have a myriad selection Read More
