Web Wide Hosting in New Zealand has overtaken ServerWays, and is now offering exactly the same VPS packages from $4.90 per month. Order them here as I can’t seem to find them on their home page. There are actually two plans that fit into my criteria (maximum $7/month):
- VPS 111 — $4.90/month
- 100MB memory (guaranteed/burstable)
- 100Mhz limit on CPU
- 10GB storage
- 100GB transfer per month
- VPS 222 — $6.90/month
- 200MB memory (guaranteed/burstable)
- 200Mhz limit on CPU
- 20GB storage
- 200GB transfer per month
Portland DC. OpenVZ.

I nabbed myself the $4.90 plan last night, and it’s quite an interesting little VPS.
By ‘100MHz’ they seem to mean ‘Dual Core 58MHz’, might want to watch out for that.
Definitely not a bad little server, in my opinion
I’d heavily recommend against CentOS on this one, the system image is huge and it’s probably the most memory hungry. I use debian myself.
With Debian, the memory is a little tight for using dselect, I had OOM with it during the install phase. You can find all the package names and such on the packages section of the debian website and use apt-get to install them. Ran some small Python scripts, wasn’t too shabby. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap/tiny VPS.
@kremlin — CPU limit is something I’ll be hesitated to sign up with them. It is not a minimum guarantee but rather a hard ceiling that you will never be able to get more than 100Mhz of CPU time.
I guess if burstable CPU time is not required then this host provides great value for your money.
