Kevin from FTNHosting emailed me their offers for the LowEndBox readers. They are “a solid and steadily-growing company and have been in business for over 3 years now (EST: 17 April 2008)”. Use promo code LEB256 to get their “FTN256” package for $5.95/month. Direct sign up link here.
- 256MB memory
- 25GB storage
- 250GB/month data transfer
- Windows 2003 or 2008
- Xen HVM/SolusVM
Servers in Orlando FL with HostDime (test IP: 66.7.207.3). Website hosted on HostGator’s shared hosting with its non-redundant NS. No SSL on WHMCS. However its owner Chris has been quite active on WHT answering questions and providing supports.
256MB would be fine with Windows 2003 but pushing the boundary a bit with 2008R2. Unfortunately there is no option to load an alternate OS although underlying Xen HVM would allow it.

Hi;
Thanks for the listing Lowendbox Admin, highly appreciated. We host our corporate website with HostGator for offsite redundancy so our clients can contact us in case of any unfortunate outages (which are very rare). This is a standard practice in the hosting industry, we like to make sure our clients always have contact methods to be able to contact us at any given time.
For the 256MB VPS we would definitely recommend Windows 2003 we have clients who run 2003 without any issues. 2008 would be pushing it since it uses a bit more resources but it is definitely doable.
Feel free to let us know should you have further questions or concerns.
Best,
Kevin
Any specific reasons why You don’t allow to install other OS?
Hi Circus;
Any OS of the customer’s choice can be installed on the VPS. All that we require is the ISO, from there we can mount it into the customer’s VM so they can install it through the Java VNC console to their preferred configuration.
Do let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Live Chat is available on the Website for instant assistance.

@Raihan
– Call 2co
– Don’t order behind proxy
Hi Raihan;
Have you filled in accurate address information in the 2Checkout order form? Did you order behind a proxy or server? Please ensure that you have filled in accurate information in the order form and that you are not behind a proxy, then your order should not have any problems going through.
We also accept Moneybookers/Librety Reserve if 2Checkout/Paypal doesn’t work out for you.
Thanks for your understanding and looking forward to working with you.

Kevin
We have received alot of requests asking the payment methods we accept.

We sure do! As I mentioned above “Any OS of the customer’s choice can be installed on the VPS. All that we require is the ISO, from there we can mount it into the customer’s VM so they can install it through the Java VNC console to their preferred configuration.”
Many thanks for the kind words – we’ll keep it up.

I have ordered a VPS package from them. Waited almost 3 days (while submitting tickets to their so-called “24×7 Support”) and did not received the product. Finally they issued a refund by mistake and asked me to pay them again to receive my package. I suppose you get rubbish if you go for cheap stuff.
Marius;
A lot of people seem to think just because things are cheap you are suppose to expect cheap service, it is most certainly not the case here with FTNHosting, we have received nothing but positive responses from our clients about our Windows VPS offerings.
Unfortunately, mistakes do happen with every host and if we did mess up I sincerely apologize about that. Can I have a ticket ID so I can review what exactly went wrong and make it right with you? Thank you for your cooperation.
Best,
Kevin
Ticket ID: 163955
they are ok.. they need a new datacentre as they seem to lag sometimes.
when they get to your support ticket they get things sorted for you, but you can be waiting a week for that to happen.
I appreciate the feedback Ross. We will have a new datacenter choice available for our Windows VPS shortly.
With regards to the issue you are facing with support, do you have a ticket ID so I can look into that for you?
Thank you so much.
Kevin
They took more than 48 hours to get the server information sent. After I put in a support ticket I found out it was ‘taking longer than usual’ to receive new IPs from the datacenter. The VPS won’t boot. Now I’m waiting for a support ticket for that.
Chris got hold of the ticket and solved things in a timely manner. :) I’m slightly more impressed.
i been since 8-18-11 i posted my second ticket en almos 1 week with no access to my server and no repply it keep saying some one is usin mi ip ….
Camaleon;
Please let me know your ticket ID.
I had a very bad experience in the past with FTNhosting, I remember that one time I brought an annual package and after 3 months server was down and Chris never refund my money and never give me new hosting!! I still have the email that FTN sent me… so warning! and remember that FTN come from digitalpoint forum :)
Hi Zx123;
Thanks for your mini review. That doesn’t sound like the level of service we provide, can you please provide a ticket ID so I can physically verify that you are/were a customer of FTNHosting?

all web supported me and other people vs these scammer use google search to be confirm alot fo scam with alot of people in long time
and i need lowendbox.com support because me and alot of other trust lowendbox
and i paid to these scammer when i find post in yours
please help me to restore my money
Didn’t you make 5 other slanderous comments about us on lowendbox and the admin removed it? ;)
I will tell you one thing Kamalo; you receive absolutely no special treatment by spamming on blogs & forums, and if you do not stop we will not process your refund request. If you want your refund, follow my instructions like I told you on WHT and send in a trouble ticket to validate your identity, the forums and blogs are not our helpdesk and never will be.
in any way you will not refund my money you Promise me alot
this scammer love closed tickets
ask to open and then close any body can confirm that by google alot of people say that
ask and close
lovely game
how old are you
what can we do
lowendbox and other trust web protect us
LowEndBox will protect you? Don’t be ridiculous. There are more scamming customers than providers out there. If you wish to post your incident you need to at least clearly post what happened in detail here, and calling someone a scammer without facts is simply slanderous.
I will delete your comments again if you can’t backup with fact.
Hi,
Thanks Admin. It looks like this was resolved on WHT, he finally sent a ticket in and communicated with us through our helpdesk (The proper way) after dozens of members on WHT told him that he was spamming enough.

Hi,
I apologize about the inconvenience caused. Please email me at kevin[at]ftnhosting[dot]net with your Ticket ID so I can personally take a look at this.
There is likely a slight miscommunication issue here and I would love to look into it to see what’s going on, but without a ticket ID unfortunately I don’t know who you are.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best,
Kevin
