Mike, from VPSCheap.net, is back with another offer for LowEndBox readers after a period of absence. But, as the old saying goes: “once you’re in, you can never leave”.
Offer #1 (Annual)
| Offer #2 (Monthly)
|
VPSCheap.net have been featured four times before since September 2011. They’re a registered INC in the state of Illinois. On their last post, in July 2012, they offered the 128MB OpenVZ yearly plan for $18 – $8 more than what they’re offering the same plan for today. Reviews on that thread are mixed – so take a look for yourself when deciding. Their nodes are using a mix of e3-1230, e3-1270, e5-2620 CPUs and have at least 4 WD Black drives in Raid 10 (ARECA port controller). They have their own direct allocation of ipv4 & ipv6 addresses through ARIN. The offers are exclusive to LowEndBox and are also limited in stock.
VPSCheap.net provide rdns for both IPv4 & IPv6 but you will need to open a ticket at their helpdesk to add or ammend. They accept payments via paypal and google checkout. VPSCheap offer a 30 day money back guarantee on all of their vps servers (excluding control panel fees such as cPanel & DirectAdmin). Torrents and Tor are strictly forbidden but, as usual, for more information you can view their Terms of Service.
Network Information:
All of their Nodes are collocated within their own racks at the Equinix datacenter in Chicago, USA.
Test IPv4: 199.175.48.3

I subscribed to Offer #1. Provisioned immediately. Opened a support ticket to get IPv6 addresses : got 2 with 1mn. Same for rDNS. Very quick and efficient tech support…
I am currently running some tests. Will share as soon as it’s finished.

Pls provide test files for speed test.

They’re single-homed, according to bgp.he.net.

Oops. Sorry for the multiple posts…
Here is a ServerBear Benchmark: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/02/10/DFInzmxqnEnxIWI8
Does this recurring promotional code including cPanel fee and extra IPs as well?
I am trying to place the order 10$ / year with the giving code but it is still showing me 20$ par year , if i apply the code i get this error from direct signup link
# The promotion code entered has already been used #
please do the needful
Yup, fails for me too.
Promo code is not working…
Seems to be a one time use coupon: # The promotion code entered has already been used #
Hopefully I was the 1st one to use it 😉
The $10/year plans are sold out unfortunately
We will release some more in the upcoming weeks
Can I use it for my mailing campain? All regular members of my website. All Italian emails.
It doesn’t seems like that. Plan is still available. It seems just that promo code for this smaller plan was disable shortly after being featured at lowendbox 🙂
Well this is strange
Any one here able to get in 10$ ? I dont think so
I have got the $10/year vps. I didn’t really need one, but thought “10 Mbit/s Unmetered” bandwidth was too good an offer to pass. I got the vps instantly after I paid the invoice through paypal. I haven’t done anything serious on it (tests like dd or benchmark type are not something I’m interested in), but the system feels responsive.
10 mbit/s = 1 – 1.25 MBPS !
Should take $12/Year from ChicagoVPS. Why to take a garbage paying $2 less ?? Also there is doubt that how the promo ended where only one order placed ?? Have they been selected here to promote themselves only, not to give Service ??
@Nagib Mahfuz Plabon
There is a difference between 100GB bandwidth monthly and 3TB bandwidth monthly..
I guess they have no intention of following up their own promo, this kind of jerk should be banned forever..
They are also not active/regular here !
Hello Nagib,
No we are not a regular poster here on the forums but we have decided to release a promotion to the LEB community. As it is stated in the original post by Liam both offers were limited stock and they got sold out quick. We have also confirmed this later by posting at posted in response to the question
“The $10/year plans are sold out unfortunately
We will release some more in the upcoming weeks”
I am also wondering why did you find our service to be “garbage”. Are you have you been our customer in the past and if so what bad experiences have you had?
Sorry for my bad words. But, you didn’t even reply to any of the comments above & also your plan sold out so fast but only 1 comment, this made me furious. Sorry for that. You should capable to provide a mentionable number of order, not like 5/10.
10 Mbit/s Unmetered VS Perfomance – always got how much paid for 🙂
# The promotion code entered has already been used # Offer #1 (Annual)
Comes to have a look
0ffer #1 coupon was limited to 40 uses and we will release 40 more in the next couple of weeks. We will announce the release of them on here.
don’t bother, nobody cares..
Coupon #2 doesn’t work either…
I wonder what’s the purpose of the stupid posts of john… Whatever, I am pleased with your services
@chiezy
Offer 2 has been sold out as well
@Yomero
Thank you for the kind words again and we are glad to hear you are happy with the service.
that sucks… let us know when more come back
Will there be more anytime soon?
We will release coupons for both offers within the next couple of days.
More coupons will be released within the next two hours. We will post again once they are up
waiting!!!! i hope its a repeat of offer 2. if not 🙁
did you post them yet since its been 2 hours now?
Still waiting for more coupons…
Awaiting.. 🙂
Additional coupons have been release 20 for offer#1 and 10 for offer#2
I got one thanks!
No Ubuntu 12.04 images… Any ETA?
Sorry wrong thread, ignore me
Will there be some more coupons released? When I use the LEBJANYR coupon it says ” # The promotion code entered has already been used # “
Are there people who have used their service for a longer time? Are they reliable?
200 days uptime. 100% reliable.
I’ve used it long enough and start thinking of moving, they are very slow at certain times, and they are also very chatty, forcing me to remove content just because my page I link to files in file sharing sites.
In some other vps it is not infringement, because the file is the responsibility of the third party, so if you want to create a site that would probably do the same thing, you should use the other.
Distributing copyright material directly, or linking to it, is not allowed on our services.
Your argument that the material is not hosted on your vps, is invalid.
Will there be some more coupons released?
Any more coupons?
This offer is valid yet?
When will this offer return?
wait……
Disturbingly bad services @ VPSCheap.net. They are not informing people about problems with server, after few days they informs you that all data is gone and offering same lousy VPS. Like they are offering their services for free. No thanks, i would rather throw few bucks in trash, than use VPSCheap again. Unreliable.
Same experience as MotorHead – fuck vpscheap.net. They lost ALL OF THE DATA on a server, and instead of offering a refund or a discount or EVEN A PROACTIVE FUCKING APOLOGY, I had to find out that my VPS was offline. When I questioned why I couldn’t boot it they told me that they’d lost the data. Assholes, I hope their shitty company burns to the ground.
PROMOTIONALS ABOVE DONT WORK, MAYBE THEY WILL RELEASE SOME NEW ONES.
They never send me invoice when i notice, they cancel my service and toll me ther where no more nodes, so i pay 1 year try to renew 2nd and praticaly they didnt care about me renew it.
Same as MotorHead and AFPL. Happened few months ago, lost all of the data, not notifed me about that, didn’t offered fckin apology. Stay avay from them.
I have been with them for over a year and never had any trouble. But if there were a data loss event-which can happen anywhere, it would not be a problem as I backup important files.
Is there any vps company that has been around 3-years that offers more bang for the buck?
