It must have been almost a month since I was contacted to by Alvish to do a review for Evolucix. So why was the delay? Well, as some of you may know, I really have quite a few reviews lining up at the moment, but more importantly, their low end VPS have been out of stock for a while. Therefore, when I finally saw they have restocked, I took the first opportunity possible and grabbed one myself. General Information and Set Up Many providers start their budget lines of VPS with 128MB VPS, but the lowest plan with Evolucix has 256MB of RAM and at 5.95USD per month, it has the following specifications: Note that TUN/TAP is not enabled by default but you can raise a support ticket to request for it. The VPS uses OpenVZ virtualization technology. Sign up was via secured HTTP site and set up was instant Read More

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

There is perhaps no VPS providers recently (other than the ones almost in the dead-pool, such as Hostrail or W2 Servers) has caused as much controversy as IPAP.Co. Their previous offer on LowEndBox has gathered close to 500 replies. However, they are definitely not satisfied with the amount publicity (positive or negative) that they have received, and this time, they came up with a even more surprising offer on LowEndBox, and for 6.99 USD per month, here is what you expect to receive: I have to say I really doubt how they could possibly offer this crazy amount of resources at this price. After all, 6.99 would perhaps cover the cost of 2IP + 2GB memory and nothing else. So, I decided to give it a shot myself to see how such a insane plan works. General and Set Up The origin of IPAP.CO is truly a mystery, besides a Read More

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
