AllSimple - £15/Year 128MB Xen VPS in UK

Oct 13, 2010 @ 7:55 am

Martin from All Simple Internet Services emailed me this 2 days ago (yes that’s the length of the queue at the moment, sorry about that) with this pretty cool offer — Xen VPS for £15/Year! Use this sign up link to order, and you should see updated price on the second page. It comes with

128MB memory/256MB swap
4GB storage
100GB/month data transfer

This offer is available to only first 20 sign ups. Otherwise you could still use 20% off discount to get the same package for 3.20 GBP/month. Domain registered since December 2009, and they have just recently got a website face-lift. Servers in UK with BlueSquare.

LEA

LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.

At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.

Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.

After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.

LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.

Hi rm,
The use of IRC is banned in general but upon request we have allowed certain clients to connect to some small personal IRC networks, but the main big networks are disallowed.
If it’s something people wish to do they should clarify with us first using our Live Support or our Ticket System and we may be able to allow it per client.

  Please correct your misspelling of misspelt in your ToS. :)
  Looks like they disallow any adult material as well.
  I like though how they spell out their online guarantee and what’s covered and what’s not.

    I’ve corrected the misspelling! thanks for that :)
    If you’re looking to do any adult hosting, please contact us for clarification, we may allow it based on what you’re wishing to host.
    Thanks,
    Martin

      Not a problem. Thanks for the follow up.
      As to the adult hosting, it;s just one point that folks seem to look for around here.
      I know LEA mentioned elsewhere that this offer still appears to be good but when I follow the link, I’m showing an annual price of £44. I’m guessing that this is over now.

I ordered two vps. They work very fast. You can pay with paypal or bank transfer. By the moment everything is ok. Pinging 79ms from Spain. There is not a panel control, but from client area you can check bandwidth, restart, and reinstall. It is enough for me.

Hi Frank,
That has been fixed for you, it wasn’t any problems with our servers just that you had tried a couple of reboots and our system has a lock to stop you booting/rebooting multiple times within a short period and you had reached this.
When I logged into our servers, I just started up the VPS without making any changes and it worked fine.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.
Thanks,
Martin

Just like to personally recommend these guys, I ordered this deal about a month ago and it’s been stable, with one planned maintenance, their support is fast and friendly. Always been able to help me out and they are implementing new free features into their control panel etc… they now offer free backup solutions and other freebies. I highly suggest anyone looking for a UK VPS gives these guys a shot. 5/5.
