Brian from Neosurge is celebrating their 10th year in business by offering LowEndBox readers a 75% discount!
- 128MB Dedicated Ram
- 128MB Swap
- 5GB Diskspace
- 200GB Bandwidth
- 1x IPv4 Address
- SolusVM/Xen
- $20.12/Year, Direct Signup

This is usually an $80+/Year plan from Neosurge, so in addition to their hefty discount they are also offering 50% off regular upgrade prices for the life of the plan.

IPv6? if not ETA?
We have IPv6 to all our servers but do not deploy it by default for security reasons. It can be deployed by request however.

^ neosurge is owned by steadfast?
It specifically states that Steadfast only bought the dedicated server and colocation business and they remain in VPS…..
Why the exclamation point in the title? Is there something astonishing about a 128MB Xen in those locations? It seems like a perfectly attractive offer but I think it’s ok to stay with the calmer style that we’re used to.
Anyone looking at getting one of these, the support is fantastic.
My ticket was responded to within minutes.
Pleased with my purchase if everything else is as good as this!
Thank you for your feedback and your order!

When I tried to purchase, it says Fremont, not San Jose?
The location is actually San Jose, we moved locations out of the Fremont Hurricane Electric datacenter after some major issues with power reliability.
Thanks for the clarification. Just ordered, activated instantly, so far so good.
Thank you for the feedback!
“The promotion code entered has already been used” Is the offer expired?
Additional stock has been allocated for this promotion.
The following errors occurred:
The promotion code entered has already been used
As stated above, additional stock has been allocated for this promotion.
If only they allowed a small private IRCd (10-20 users) on VPS like their dedicated, then I could have signed up…
We do allow IRCd, so long as you do not cause network problems.
Thanks for the good news! I assumed it was not allowed because your AUP indicated otherwise.
The *Order Now* button on the homepage doesn’t seem to bring me to the correct page – is it just me?
Correct, you must use the special link above:
https://neosurge.com/clients/cart.php?gid=31
How about the other plans you offer though? Future customers cannot purchase from the homepage – just a little confused.
By the way, I like the slider :)
Our normal plans are ordered through the slider. This is a special limited offer. Thank you for the compliment as well!
Hi Brian,
Say we applied the promo code and we got $20.12/yr. Do we still pay $20.12/yr the following year or the normal $83.40/yr?
The discount is recurring.
thx – got a packet
Thank you for your order!!
200 gb/month o year?
It is 200GB/month.
I had a VPS with Neosurge quite a few years ago. Actually, it was my first VPS ever. From what I remember, uptime was great and I never experienced any problems. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily indicate how things are now, but if I were in the market for another VPS in either of those locations, they would definitely be on my short list.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for the kind words Nick.
Ticket response seems a tad slow, any help Brian? (1-2 days, and waiting)
#684002
#218208
Both tickets have been answered.
Same here, please look into ticket #372945&.
Ticket has been answered.
Is this deal still on? promo code says it has “aleady been used”
promo code: LEB2012
More stock has been opened for this code. Thanks for your interest.
Cant purchase.
The following errors occurred:
The promotion code entered has already been used
As stated above, more stock has been opened for this code.
Is OPENVPN supported? TUN/TAP?
Yes, OpenVPN is supported and TUN/TAP is enabled by default.
I definitely want one!
Please take a look [Ticket ID: 656113]. Thanks.
Ticket has been answered. Please use our helpdesk if you need any further support.
hi, Wondering if this promo is still going on? The promo code LEB2012 doesn’t seem to be valid anymore..
As previously mentioned, more stock has been opened for this code.
Will you be adding more stock at the Fremont DC?
Additional stock in San Jose has been allocated.
So when I buy this; can I run a webserver on it for let’s say a joomla site (mysql+php+apache…)?
Can I run a VPN to surf for example youtube with it? (Here in germany most music videos are blocked by youtube because of some legal stuff).
Could I run a teamspeak server?
I also have a domain where I can change dns entries and so on; could I route this domain to the server then?
Thanks!
You could run all of this but the ram may be a little low for what you’re asking to do. Contact us through our site if you’d like a custom plan.
Does Fremont, California have any available? It’s 0 right now.
As stated above, additional stock in San Jose has been allocated.
Do not buy! Estimate a person’s company, it is a liar company. My payment has been one week in the past, until now I have not yet get my VPS. I’ve been in the paypal request a refund.
Please take a look at Ticket ID: 887659. Thanks.
Please update the helpdesk. We check that much more often then these threads.
Hello,
Please take a look at ticket: #293214
As stated above, update the ticket itself. We check the helpdesk much more often then the threads here.
San Jose seems down for me?
San Jose is not down.
down for me and isup.me
http://www.isup.me/216.172.132.103
You’re looking at http, not ping.
Actually, again there are no issues with San Jose. You may have caused a problem with your VPS but none of the nodes themselves have had any problems in quite some time.
Hi, I signed up & was surprised/concerned about 2 things.
– I received my password as entered by email, in plaintext. This means to me that you’re not following sensible password management practices (i.e. hashing).
– I went to your control panel, https://control.neosurge.com:5656/login.php, and saw that your ssl cert expired 4 months ago. You haven’t bothered to fix this in 4 months?
Please explain why these 2 things are ok? :)
The certificate will be renewed shortly.
The plain text password is encouraged to be changed at signup. This is not a major security flaw and is the best method we have to get customers going quickly.
“The plain text password is encouraged to be changed at signup. This is not a major security flaw…”
Uh, yup, it sure is. I was about to signup for your service, but luckily I read this comment first.
Can you please take a look at ticket 418831? Thanks!
Do you have any similar discounts for 256 MB plan? Or can I buy double specs for 20.12 / 6 months?
Yes, we can do that. Just open a ticket.
Thanks Brian! I have raised a ticket: Ticket ID: 696410
Can you please take a look at ticket 418831?
Hi Brian,
I ordered 2 VPS 2 days ago – initially the control panel showed both. Now it is showing only 1! Also, on this one, when I try to reinstall new OS – nothing happenes! The control panel just changes the OS displayed to the new one, but the VPS remains at the old OS.
I have raised 2 support tickets but there has been no response from 2 days.
Can you please look into tickets 254230 and 440234?
regards,
JP
Well damn youre all out of San Jose
Ten more have been made available in San Jose.
Attempted to buy one of these plans but I needed a special invoice for paying it, submitted a ticket and still got no response after 12 hours.
Do you have a ticket number?
I pulled the trigger yesterday. I got the email but it was never provisioned properly. Opened my second ticket today and still no answer.
Can you please take a look at ticket #800547.
This should have been answered. Let me know if not.
Brian squared everything away for me. He was very responsive with a RAM upgrade I needed as well. I’m very happy so far and I’m thinking about getting a second VPS while this deal is still active.
Highly recommended!
Thank you John for your order :)
I’m looking for a VPS to run a pair of small websites (<50MB, not that much traffic) and some small Fossil-SCM repositories (for random projects that I'm working on mainly). Would this plan be suitable for that?
Thanks!
This should work just fine for your needs.
So far, looking good!
Thank you for your kind words!

Origin AS Announcement Description
AS32748 67.202.64.0/18 Steadfast Networks
Great so far. Note that the latest Ubuntu is 10.10. (Ubuntu 12 has some major performance upgrades for Xen.)
Hi,
I have a plan to install autoresponder script such arp or eliteautoresponder in vps.
Do this VPS plan reliable / suitable for that ?
Thanks
Feedback: I am skeptic about the technical support. Brian responded almost immediately to pre sales tickets multiple times. I bought 2 VPS. And now, both have issues – I have raised 2 support tickets (254230, 440234) and there has been no reply since last 15 hours.
Avoid this provider.
I thought that it would be a great deal. Yet the install is CentOS release 5.3 bare bones. That is so out of date you cannot download an ISO to be able to run a vm locally to be able to try to debug issues. When I tried to bump the php version a bit (only from php 5.1.6 to php 5.2.10) it would hang trying to compile. I raised a support ticket asking to get a bump to a newer distro and it was unanswered after five days.
Basically I am simply going to abandon this provider and find another who is not running flogging an unsupportable distro with very obsolete packages.
Beware.
Simon
Hi Simon Massey,
I’m not support for Neosurge and I’m also having issues with their service. But, you could try going to reinstall OS, it’s in the VPS manager. There you can select other images to install.
Ticket 677932 is days old and unanswered.. Yum can’t even update the outdated image provided before running out of memory. If you can’t update it, it’s worthless.
Support is MIA, cancel this and refund my account.
I’ve had a support ticket open for 20 hours with no reply.
I’m unable to connect to my VPS or ping it. I’ve used their reinstall OS option which hasn’t brought it back online.
My plan was to use them for hosting small business sites, charging my customers and getting a kick back from their affiliation program. At this point I wouldn’t recommend using their service for business if you need an excellect uptime.
I have same problem, I can’t connect to my VPS??? and have send 2 ticket and all no answered until now…
First Ticket: 08/30/2012 23:00 #712659 – Can’t SSH to server
Second Ticket: 09/02/2012 07:07 #376482 – I Still Can’t Access My VPS???
I just Dispute Transaction (Paypal) and request refund.
Did you get your money back? I am thinking using the dispute too…
Yes, Paypal accept my Dispute Claim and send my money back to my account yesterday…
This is from their TOS page… I asked for a refund when I submitted my cancellation request, The service was stopped but no refund has been provided. I have submitted a ticket with urgent status and never got a response. #128969
If nothing ever happens I guess I could always talk to my credit card company too, but I wish it would just be easy.
“We do give refunds for full months unused, not partial months, and billing is only done on full month or annual terms. If you decide to cancel after prepayment, you will not receive a refund for the current month in use (we do not give partial months refunds). If you have prepaid and received a multi-month discount, upon cancellation we will figure the refund retroactively withdrawing the discount back to the start date of the contract. This will result in paying full undiscounted price for the months used and refunding the balance. This only applies to cancellation by the client.”
My original ticket is from 08/15/2012
What was wrong with your VPS? Mine just randomly turned off.
The performance was subpar and the support was very slow.
no prom code available now?
No promo codes? Did you read any of our posts? Looks like this company took our money and bought a one way ticket to Hawaii.
I ended up doing some research on Neosurge and ” Brian. ”
It seems that this is a scam. The info on his Whois is also fake. I called the number and a lady answered. She informed me that the number was no longer Brians, I could also hear in her voice that she’s been called many times asking for this guy.
My VPS is down for almost 2 days. Send them a ticket but no answer. I don’t know what is going on.
My VPS IP is 216.172.132.173
This site is a scam. Do your research into ” Brian Easley. ”
I ended up contacting my bank and received a refund. They’re doing an investigation into this company.
The VPS I received has been down for over 2 weeks. I left two tickets and neither were replied to.

We have caught up to all existing helpdesk tickets. Refunds will be given for those on the effected node or we can provide an additional two months for free for any customers that were effected by this machine going down.
You do know that all my trust is gone?
And my refund was refused..
Maybe in the future, you can be a little more open about everything. Contact your client immediately when there a problems. Don’t take on more customers if you can’t handle the support!
Sorry to have failed you. All refunds that were asked for have been delivered. If you still have problems, please open a helpdesk ticket and it will be promptly handled.
My VPS is also down, for two weeks. No answer for my tickets. SCAM!
My VPS is back online, too
The San Jose server is back online. I even received a replay on my ticket!
My VPS is back, too.
What? 2 Days downtime! At least when I was screwed out of the deal I was down for good. Not any of this nanny panny 2 day crap..
I’m just amazed how someone with 500 servers has this kind of fall out over one box being lost. Lets divide 500/3.. 166 ppl between west coast, Chicago and NY.. lets tally up 99% of their business from LEB and assume only a few ppl complain?
A group somewhere is lying — I’m sure its not LEB community — they seem to be rather keen on this BS…
I don’t see a customer with your name. We did indeed just have a problem with a single server. It was not handled in an ideal fashion, but everything has been restored and functional. We’ve worked with everyone that had a problem that was on that node.
I ordered 2 VPS. They did not work even for a full day. I have 4 support tickets open with you. I have requested refund for both VPS. Please see tickets 254230, 440234. Unreplied since almost a month now.
Brian,
Close and refund the account connected with ticket 848314. I guess you don’t answer your tickets because they’re not public enough. I have no clue what kind of business you’re attempting to run. Whatever you’re doing, you’re doing it very wrong. Not only have I not heard back from you in way over a month. You’ve not answered a single support ticket, my refund ticket, and the dam vps still doesn’t work. Never in my life have I had a business transaction go this south. Collectively, you have a hell of a problem on your hands. You came here looking to promote your business and have done nothing but wipe it and your name through the mud. Well done sir, well done.
Please file the cancellation through the client area and your refund will be issued. From the ticket, it was responded to and you said you were all good.
I have a Ticket #676275, has been open for almost a week. And no action from tech support………………………….
what’s going on?
