GoWeb - €3.15 256MB Xen VPS in Germany

Aug 25, 2011 @ 8:15 am

Maurice from GoWeb.de is offering LowEndBox readers a 10% off recurring discount on their new cloud VPS product (Xen with OnApp, yada yada). Use coupon code LEB-10-OFF to get the discount, and you can get the lowest spec of “Individual Cloud VPS” for €3.15/month (~USD$4.54). Here is the ordering link, and you get

256MB memory
5GB storage
100GB/month data transfer
Xen/OnApp

Payment is PayPal only, and you get instant setup after payment. Servers in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (test IP: 178.18.250.1), where they have their own network setup (AS31147). GoWeb is part of Inline Internet Online Dienste who also owns VPS4less.de (low end provider featured here since Feb 2008) and ValueServer.de (remember those free IPv6-only VPS?). That certainly give them quite a bit of credential in VPS hosting.

Wow new site and.. Google AdSense?!

  Just added the star ratings plugin and some AdSense ads (hopefully gradually phasing out BSA ads).

      Same, I preferred them to the Google Ads, more interesting not so ugly.

    - LowEndAdmin:
      BSA has quite a lot of limitations. It’s also a bit trickier to kick an advertiser. I also got an account manager at Google who kept on asking me what other sites I can put the ads on :)

    - drmike:
      I’m just surprised, especially considering how much those adverts were going for and after doing some math, how much you’re taking in from them.
      I can’t see you doing the same with adsense.
      I have 2 sites that I host that are in the “They have an Adsense account manager” page view volume and neither one of them make that much. Well enough to pay for the what it costs them to have the site but little past that.

      It’s a bit, hmm, different. Amount of $$ is not really relevant here, but at least now I can tell all the providers bugging me with ads space (yes BurstNet, I am talking about you) to point them to Google AdPlanner to do a placement targeting on LowEndBox.com.
      Really going off topic here. Feel free to ask me question regarding ads on corresponding thread on LowEndTalk.

One of those hosts which keep consistency and won’t dissapear through night. I am with them (well VPS4less.de) around 3 years.
btw. maurice does this offer include also IPv6? When will IPv6 come to vps4less.de? :)
August 25, 2011 @ 11:46 am | Reply
- Maurice:
  We’re migrating all VPS4LESS-VMs to SolusVM and new hardware at the moment. If all VMs are migrated, we’ll enable IPv6 on every node and VPS – free of charge.
  IPv6 is on our todo for the cloud, but no guarantee for it within the next 1.5 months.

Is this local based Storage or San Based storage. I see more and more providers springing up claiming to be a cloud setup but in reality the are just using OnApp?
I hope you have done the sums correctly for after your 1 Year trial has ended (dont forget to included the $100 license for the Control Panel and then $10 per core).

  Matthew:
  its not a short idea – we’ve invested weeks for researching the right hardware. The SANs are based on Nexenta with dual 10GE NICs, 16 SAS drives and SSDs as ZIL. RAM size of the SANs is well calculated for deduplication etc. Also our heads come with a dual 10GE nic (for redundant storage connection (via iSCSI)).
  If you have further questions, we’ll be happy to answer them.

    Hello,
    As you can see in my name and can check in your WHMCS, I’m a very old old client with no services right now.
    I do have to say that vps4less.de always provided me top reliable services, I love them and I wouldn’t have left them if I had enough money!
    I submited my email to get a vps and benchmark it.

Hello folks,

I decided to go ahead and ask for a VPS so I could write a small review.
Logged in, typed a few commands an realised: waaaaaait, this VPS… Is HELL FAST!

Read my full review here: http://178.18.250.13/
It’s running in the VPS! :-)

Definitely worths and I recommend to anyone who would love to have a reliable and super fast VPS.

Just something to highlight, their SAN Setup definitely rocks:

HDD dd test:

miguel:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out

And network speed to cachefly:

Daniel: 100% agree on that. Even if you ask global players, they will have their own definition. We’re naming it “cloud”, because our “Cloud VPS” does have most features, what competitors define as “cloud”. I wont define the features of our “Cloud VPS” here again, because this posting should not be sales related and is my own opinion which must not be the opinion of our company. I know you’re competitor (in some way), but Im interested personal what others (what means also you) define as “cloud”.
