Richard from SonicVPS emailed in to let us know about two of their LowEnd plans. Some of the older users may recognise Sonic from March 2010 when they were offering a $5.58 256MB Xen VPS in either Portland, OR or Denver, CO. Ironically, the website has hardly changed since.
Low Sonic KVM256
| Mega Sonic KVM512
|
SonicVPS’s servers are fully owned and are colocated with BuyVM at the CoreSite datacenter in San Jose. Servers seem to be set up instantly; once payment has been made. One thing which may appeal to some, and which is very rare for a vps host, is that SonicVPS provide phone support. Windows 2003 R2 is also available on their ISO list.
Not much information is out there about SonicVPS and there wasn’t very many replies on their last post in 2010. So, as usual, share your experience below!

The “Low Sonic KVM256” is out of stock and there are only 3 of the “Mega Sonic KVM512” left (wrong link for this one, btw).
In the “Linux only” ones they have 5×512
I have the 512MB KVM for running RDP :)
And its nioe
I currently have a 256Mb instance with them, and I have been quite pleased with the uptime and network connectivity to the KVM. At this point, I don’t have any negative items to report, as it’s been smooth sailing for my entire time with them(couple months).
When will you restock 256MB plans?
Is IPv6 available?
Is Tor end point / relay allowed ?
Thanks for sharing infos. I have two vps with them more than half year, uptime and network is very good. Servral days ago I had post a review on LET.
Hi Guys,
Thank you for the kind comments. :)
We’ll be stocking some KVM256 plans, please submit a pre-sales ticket if you would like one:
https://www.centralsupport.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=11
We should be able to slot you in before the new nodes are available.
No issues with Tor at this stage, we’re happy to support VMs for VPN purposes as well.
IPv6 is not available at this stage, I’m working on this though.
~Richard
Thats great. There are not many Tor friendly providers out there!
Is their network as fast as BuyVM?
they are exactly same and priced better, I think.
Out of Stock
We are currently out of stock on this item so orders for it have been suspended until more stock is available. For furthur information, please contact us.
stay away!!! from this crappy and scam provider, they stole my money!!!
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shut up..
Daren: As noted above, please submit a pre-sales ticket if you would like a VM.
Jason: Please refrain from making totally false accusations. We’re happy for you to submit a ticket and work out any problems you’re having. You can phone us and we’ll get back to you as well.
To be perfectly honestl, we do things like give user more bandwidth if they’re running out etc, just to help them get to the next month, pretty much the complete opposite of what you’re saying. While we’re obviously here to make a profit, we don’t mind helping out and generally customers happy.
They restock….
very tempting. good price, and good provider reputation
I nabbed one – my total was $13.55 (for some reason) and then $7 monthly.
I figure it’s a good way to test out the service and provider. Looking forward to it.
tonyray: Yes, we have been restocking very frequently and have managed to keep up with orders, with out overselling of course. :)
Jackster: It was $13.55 because we use a pro-rata system. It helps clients and us immensely with billing as it ensures all invoices are due on the 1st of every month.
Does your KVM support Windows 2003, 2008 ? What Windows ISOs are provided?
Thanks.
digdeep: Windows 2003 ISOs are provided and licensed with us, so 2003 is included in the plans.
We can provide a Windows 2008 ISO if need be, but we cannot provide the keys/license for this.
what is custom-03.iso?
I found it in the OS list.
Some kind of user uploaded os I guess?
I wonder that is windows 2003
Correct, any ISO with a “Custom” prefix was requested by the client.
both plan are out of stock, please notify me if 1 of this plan is available.
Same for me, most offers never last long stock wise
I tried to order one earlier too, but no luck. No stock.
We just brought more servers up.
There is stock, otherwise submit a sales ticket and you will definitely get one!

I have purchase a KVM256 with them today, since I am a newbie with their system I decided to open a ticket #891675 and I was amaze with their support, very fast reply and very helpful. I really love this provider.
Thank you for the kind words Wendell.
We’ve just fixed up the website a little bit and enabled live chat again as well, making it easier to contact us if you ever need to. :)
i am looking for windows vps
any offers?
Yes – we’ve got stock.
You can sign up directly, submit a ticket for sales, jump on live chat, or leave us a voice message and we’ll call back.
The SonicVPS website seems to be down, as well as the Central Support website.
We were migrating servers.
All back up now. :)
As you are hosted with BuyVM do you have access to the filtering system and autonull?
Hi,
Yes, autonull is available and we do resell their filtering service.
What a tool.
He doesn’t resell he has a few nodes with BuyVM in SJ :)
RaidLogic: That is a complete lie.
We DO NOT resell BuyVM’s VMs etc. BuyVM have strict policies to NOT allow resellers.
Making complete false accusations like that, with no factual basis what so ever is very poor form.
This post is completely unrelated to your business, so please stay out of it.
Jack: Thank you for the clarification even before we responded, it’s much appreciated.
Ignore him , his just a dick head.
BuyVM and SonicVPS is great.
SonicVPS is better than Burst reseller. (I’m not blaming Burstnet here, I just don’t like how a reseller blaming another provider).
I don’t care if they were reseller or not. SonicVPS always nice to me.
Actually, before I make false comments myself. I know BuyVM don’t allow people to ‘hoard’ on stock releases then sell on at inflated prices to others by transferring the VPS.
I’m pretty sure they do allow clients to resell their services which is obvious, they just don’t have a facility for this directly themselves. AFAIK.
True on both.
We don’t give discounts for people that resell our services so it’s not as nice as say, users that resell burst.
I’ve asked the guys to lighten up a bit to allow more resellers but that usually lead to headaches so I don’t think that’ll happen.

Sonic buys IP space, bandwidth, & rack space from us.
They have their own switch, tech contracts, KVMoIP, and of course, nodes.
The only real involvement we have past making sure the network is online is if they need pointers
on how best to integrate new features or expand on ideas.
Past that SonicVPS is their own brand/company and has never once been late on a
bill in the years we’ve worked with them.
While the owner doesn’t get along with Anthony all the time, lets be honest, who does?
Francisco
We have received an private msg from Sonic stating we have made an comment on his sales post.
Just a few facts.
1, We did not!
2, We always post using our registered account here which has gravatar enabled.
3, We always post using username: Jeff @ RaidLogic.NET
4, I always try to do posting here when i’m in office so the IP address should have an rdns – office.raidlogic.net
5, The person who did this is certainly not me nor anyone working for us.
6, I suggest the moderator to provide us with the original IP address and the email address they used.
7, I’m the only person inside our company who is allowed to make post on LEB.
I find this very low ball from the person who did this, why would you use our name as a poster and also link our website to your post.
Let’s wait for the clarification then
NP. I see the post was removed and you’re hunting down the culprit although it does seem strange someone wouldn’t just simply post it anonymously. Anyway, I messaged you privately just to clear things up in case it was indeed you Jeff. No hard feelings.
Out of stock. Boooo-urns…
These guys are pretty good. I’ve had a 512 with them for a few months, so far no down times except for the one time I got suspended which was my own fault.
I’m seeing ‘Windows not available’ in every product. Why is that? I thought you supported Windows!
Do you still support Windows?
It does not look like Windows hosting is available anymore. Can someone from LowEndBox please update or remove the offers for this provider?
Thanks.
Just wanna input on couple of general things, The internet website design and style is perfect, the subject material is real superb : D.
It looks like they don’t offer any MS Windows
