  • 512MB memory
  • 10GB storage
  • 150GB/month data transfer
  • 1x IPv4 + 5x IPv6
  • OpenVZ/SolusVM

PayPal or credit cards are accepted. Servers in Dallas TX with SoftLayer (test IP: 74.86.173.2). FuseVPS is a new brand established in January this year, and is by part of the web dev/web solution team running FinerHosting (since 2004). They also have an SLA guaranteeing the uptime. From ToS

If we do suffer any network downtime, customers will be reimbursed 10% of their monthly hosting bill per every hour of downtime.

While there’s no burstable memory included + only 150GB/month of data, the pricing looks “sane” — some might argue “expensive” and used ClubUptime as comparison, but we know what happened to that company.

  2. Nice inclusion in the terms of service. 10 hours downtime == free month?

      Actually 11 hours, since they charge 5% as a handling charge for dealing with the credit via a support ticket. Subject to the terms of their SLA, which I cant see linked anywhere obvious on their website, and neither can Google.

      Either way Im sure it’ll exclude most causes of downtime, if it doesnt then that’d be a sign to run away ;)

      • Wait, they charge a fee for all SLA claims?

          Arf, my bad. Thats for refunds to Paypal (no problem there), not for adding credit to an account.

          Surely that’s criminal?

        • You can’t charge for paypal fees, period.

          Paypal will bust your balls if you do that.

          They should get 30+ days to refund a single payment, meaning they can simply view your latest payment (assuming monthly) and refund whatever part of it without any fees.

        • But a lot of business charge you the Paypal fees =S

        • You can charge a fee very easily. Your pricing is cash pricing, and all other payments are assessed a fee of X to convert it to a cash equivalent.

  3. @Yomero most companies probably just include it in the normal price, maybe just charge a bit more or make a slightly less profit margin to live with it.

    • My accountants tell me that’s illegal here in the US although looking at all those extra taxes on cigarettes and booze, I have to wonder if it does happen.

      Not that I buy those two things of course….

    • Yes, I guess they consider it in the total price, but some companies write explicitly that will refund discounting a “transaction cost” or something like that.

    • They’ve already told you ‘no’…

      …and you’ve going to wait an additional week?

      Maybe going ahead and filing the complaint with Paypal or your bank now would be a good idea?
