Low End Virtual

CatalystHost – $17/Year 128MB OpenVZ and $7 2GB in Dallas, Texas

Jarland has emailed in these two offers. He explains on the email that CatalystHost has been restructured lately to ensure they can “continue to provide the same level of service that we’ve become known for, while nailing down our business plan to ensure that we could maintain the quality as we scale.”

CatalystHost have been featured twice and are very popular on LowEndTalk. This was highlighted when they came a relatively high 11th on the 2012 Q4 top providers poll. Nodes are running with: 1 or 2 Xeon E5-2620 CPUs; 64GB ECC RAM; 8 x 500GB Enterprise SATA and a LSI 9260-8i w/BBU & 512MB Cache. Many providers are ‘riding the lines’ with hardware and are selling far more than is safe. CatalystHost keep their graphs live and public. I found this recent review and this review from November 2012; both are positive. How has your experience been?

Catalyst Host has been in business since early 2011. Continuing on from the first paragraph, they’ve recently closed their Denver location and have raised their standard prices. Jarland tells us that with “those higher prices comes a better ability to offer promotions”. Each plan comes with 1 User Generated Backup. Client’s data is backed up weekly, but these backups are not available on demand, and are only guaranteed to be made available if they’re responsible for data loss (exceptions are made).

Network Information:

Servers are located at the Corexchange datacenter in Dallas, Texas. The network behind their Dallas location is multi-homed with multiple 10Gbit connections and redundant Juniper routing with HSRP failover.

    Thanks Liam! Appreciate the hard work you put in here.

    For anyone ordering, please let me know if you experience any issues receiving our emails. It’s just been one of those days.

      I tried ordering, and got flagged as fraud?? Can you help me work this out? I’ve posted a support ticket as well..

      I suppose it’s a good way to find out how the support is. I’ll post updates for everyone else on this thread.

        Well, they sorted it out in less then 10 minutes. Apparently when your IP is far away from the billing address, it flags the account.

        And of course, I was testing out my VPN 🙂

        I quite like that they have this check.. points to a well thought out service. Kudos!

    I purchased the 2GB offer a few weeks ago and haven’t looked back. Disk IO is just off the charts for a SATA server, bandwidth speeds are off the charts and for $7 a month you will not find better.

      Thanks Jeromy! What I look forward to even more is a year later when your VPS still runs like new 🙂

    Thanks for the awesome post Liam!

    For those of you who don’t know me, I’m HalfEatenPie! I’ll be one of the tech support dorks here with Catalyst. Feel free to send me a message about anything support related or non-support related or just what you had for breakfast!

      Some soup and eggs, how’s that?

      You guys have running promotion for Venti?

      • Ryan Arp's avatar
        Ryan Arp

        At the moment we do not, but you can for sure expect to see a promotion on Venti if you keep watch on here. 🙂

    If anyone is on the edge about jumping on board with Catalyst: don’t be.

    They’ve got exemplary support for the few times you’ll need it and a laser-like focus on keeping quality high and consistent.

    Lenoir and Dallas are both great locations, though I’m still mourning the loss of Denver. Network and disk speeds scream.

      Thanks T, We appreciate the support and kind words. We look forward to you still being able to say this in a year when your VPS still performs top notch 🙂

      Hi Sandy, You should have received a VPS information e-Mail. If you haven’t received that let me know and I can resend it. You should get it almost instantly after payment.

      Added a few more. We also have some available at regular price. Popular seems to be an understatement today 😉

    Will this offer be available again?

    • Don's avatar
      Don

      This offer is good until we run out of stock, but don’t worry! We’ll continue to have promotions perfect for the LowEndBox community!

      • Don's avatar
        Don

        Forgot to add, there’s some stock right now on both plans!

          Hey Don,

          I’m trying to get an account set up, but it got flagged as fraud. I’d appreciate any help working this out.

          Thanks,

    I’m really interested in the Trenta plan. I hope that you have smoe more available soon.

    • Don's avatar
      Don

      Hey there! Unfortunately we’re not planning on restocking the promotion on the Trenta plan yet. This is to make sure we’re able to support all of our new clients before we take on even more! If you are still interested though, we do have stock on our non-promotion plans.

      Sorry about that! Keep an eye on LEB and LET for more promotions from us!

      • Chris Jean's avatar
        Chris Jean

        Thanks Don. That’s fully understandable. I really respect that you are wanting to ensure good quality of service.

    2GB Trenta deal is out of stock 🙁

    • Don's avatar
      Don

      We still have stock on regular priced plans! If that’s not your cup of tea (coffee?) then keep an eye on LEB and LET for our next promotional offers!

      • Joseph's avatar
        Joseph

        Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out. I really don’t need 2GB, so I’d consider $5 Grande and $7 Venti good deals as well 🙂

        • Ryan Arp's avatar
          Ryan Arp

          Thanks for the feedback. We will keep that in mind when working on our promotions 🙂

    Do you not offer additional IPs?

    • jarland's avatar
      jarland

      With justification, but any additional IPs has to wait right now as we’re running a little short and working on the next block. Hope to have that settled tonight or tomorrow.

      • Don's avatar
        Don

        Quick update!

        We just got more IPs! If you’d like additional IPs (with proper justification) please let us know and open a support ticket! Additional IPs are $1.00 a pop!

    No issues at all and really quick response for a question I had about the VPS.

    • Don's avatar
      Don

      Awesome! Let any of us know if you need anything!

    Probably the best VPS I have ever gotten my hands on. Disk IO is through the roof and the 1GB pipe is wide open. Had a quick question right after purchase that was answered almost instantly. I think CatalystHost is out to set a new standard in the VPS arena.

    I can’t even put into words how snappy the server response has been. It feels like I am connecting to a server on my LAN.

    Well done CatalystHost and thanks for everything!

      Thanks for giving us a chance! That’s exactly the experience we were aiming for. I’m really passionate about the server administration side. I’ll work hard every day to keep your experience consistent.
