After 6 + months of not offering Orlando Specials: Dustin, from SemoWeb, is back at it. This includes the ‘limited time $12/year’ VPS and a new 2GB plan. When these offers were submitted, they were exclusive to LowEndBox.
#SemoWeb $12/Year
| #SemoWeb 2GB RAM
|
SemoWeb LLC have been around for a few years now and have been featured on LowEndBox numerous times. Their nodes in Orlando are equipped with the E3-1230 CPU, 4x Physical Cores & 4x Logical Cores (8x Cores), and their diskspace is protected by Hardware RAID-10. The node it self runs on a 1Gbps port, but to avoid congestion, VPS are limited to 100Mbps. Additional savings can be made if you prepay. These are “Limited Time Promotions” but as of yet, Justin does not have an expiration date. Reviews on their last offer was mixed; mainly due to the LA network. How is your service performing?
SemoWeb accept all major credit cards and Paypal through 2checkout. They also accept payments via alertpay. Their VPS products are not eligible for trials/refunds. Whilst their datacenter supports IPv6, SemoWeb do not yet offer it. Servers will be provisioned instantly upon completion of payment. Backups are not taken, so you’re responsible for your data. For more information, take a look at their Terms of Service.
Network Information:
These specials are located in Orlando, Florida with HostDime.

Should you need a VPS that is in Los Angeles, we also have a 2GB RAM LA special

Liam it’s Dustin isn’t it not Justin?
My name is indeed Dustin, no big deal.
Sorry Dustin!
Also:
All VPS offers need to provide a Test IP and Test File for each location that we publish in relation to your offer. These must be hosted on your servers, and the IPs must be routed to your servers. We will not accept the general Test IPs and Test Files of a datacenter. Furthermore, if you own your IP range we are interested in knowing this as well.
They are HostDime’s test IP and test files not SemoWebs.
Matthew you are such a huge dick, why didn’t you post your ‘website’ with your comment?
You sit there and slag other providers off and it’s annoying me.
indeed, i have seen this behavior too. i will never be purchase from lovevps now.
Liam, No worries.
The reason I don’t post the website that I work for when I don’t need to is so not to hurt other providers. I am sure you would be first to jump (which infact you where – with your signature) when I make a mistake.
If I wanted to, I would use the one which has LoveVPS linked into it, and a logo, but simply I would prefer not to. I was pointing out a mistake within the ad. Sorry Jack, but you would be the first to do it if you noticed.
I use these test IPs day in day out, I remember them off by heart, so I am the first to notice.
Also @Jack, I have used SemoWeb in the past, and have been on speaking terms with Dustin for a while. My service at SemoWeb network wise, actually made me choose HostDime in the first place, so before you go jumping in with your misguided and deluded posts. In no way did I reply to semoweb, I noticed a mistake in the ad and commented, how else am I supposed to do it?
Can you added Skrill as payment to sir
Hello,
I’ve actually never heard of Skrill.. apparently Moneybookers re-branded? ATM we do not accept it..
Though we accept 2checkout, paypal, payza.. I’m sure one of those works for you?
can i have reseller plan for this offer?
Hello,
You can always resell our products (there is not discounts) but touch base with our sales team we’ll help get you started.
If $12/y in Los Angeles will better:)
For China, the speed in general, the price is not very cheap!
Hello,
What type of pricing are you expecting? $12/Year is pretty reasonable… And $5.99/Month for 2GB is being generous I’d say?
Either there are none left or the sign-ups not working properly for the $12 deal. I try to add to cart then I get more expensive options, and the cheap deal is never in the cart.
it seems working when i tried it boss.
Looks like Greg was able to order after all per another comment.
Welcome aboard!
the price is good :)
BTW,the chinese guys have occupied LEB now…
Hey be nice ;-P
By the way, our LA location provides _excellent_ connectivity to China
Be careful, even if you dont have any active servies they will continue to spam you. They say you can submit a ticket to get off the list. How about you dont e-mail inactive clients? Ill continue to mark as spam
Spencer,
If you become our client whether inactive/active you WILL be e-mailed… it’s very simple to reply to an e-mail stating that you no longer wish to be e-mailed/removed from the mailing list…
Also, most of our e-mails no by default have unsubscribe links…
OK worked on the second attempt
What OSs are available for 12/year VPS?
Hello Hover,
Many OS are available — CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian etc.. you can reinstall via the control panel that we supply (SolusVM)
Should you require a OS that is not in our array of templates just open a ticket and we may add it just for you!
Thank you for the quick response! Are PPP/TUN/TAP supported?
Great question! Yes!
If you have any issues, just open a support ticket (Staffed 24/7)
Thank You!
Dustin, I’ve wrote ticket about it, please check the #967416.
It’s already done. Good support. :-)
David,
I’m very happy! You keep me updated should we fail to satisfy you.
My e-mail dustin@semoweb.com
Thank You!
Debian 7 is available?
Hello,
We should have it! If you notice that we do not, just open a ticket and we’ll add it for sure!
It says “IRC server is absolutely forbidden” on your TOS. What about IRC client / bouncer?
Same question.
same question
Great question, that would also be forbidden.
Thanks for the answer. So any connect from your server to IRC network is not allowed.
I was planing setting up a Jenkins that reports and takes command from IRC.
Thanks anyway.
Is it possible to run Sun’s JVM and JBoss, with MySQL and nginx on the 2GB box? (Not any other JVM or servers, exactly this combination)?
Where can I find the link to order 12/year?
https://www.semoweb.com/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=167
Thanks Lynn :)
Could you check the #967416?
It’s already done. Good support. :-)
Hi David,
Looks like your ticket has been sorted.
Thank You!
Could someone post a network speed benchmark?

Steve,
I’m not able to replicate this, can you try again? And provide a screenshot? My e-mail is dustin@semoweb.com
Email sent.
Steve,
Unfortunately no e-mail has came through from you, (not even in my junk folder).
Can you resend?
I’m happy enough with my little 12/yr Semoweb box I got with their previous offer.
Roph!
I’m excited to see you! Glad to hear everything is working out for you!
there is any LA nodes for 12/yr?
Hello,
At this time we do not how ever reach out to me via e-mail, dustin@semoweb.com and I may have something for you upcoming :)
No IPv6? When??? Otherwise looks like a great offer. I have a hard time buying non-ipv6 vps’s these days, especially OVZ. I have seen the Semo backup system though and it’s frankly awesome to have access to.
IPv6 is not something we have a *set ETA* on how ever it’s certainly in the works :)
Great support system! This is my first vps and I installed WordPress vis Kloxo. It took up my 256mb memory/ram though “279.74 MB of 512 MB Used / 232.26 MB Free”.
Lynn,
I’m happy to hear things are working out, you’re doing _very_ well since this is your first VPS.. there is nothing like being up and running with a solid webhost.
I’m confident you’ll continue to enjoy the level of service SemoWeb provides.
We sincerely value your business.
No problem! After some googling I bought my ram down to 50mb. Voila! Thanks for the fast service!
You optimized it! Perfect!
Can you please explain why IRC is forbidden, even a simple bouncer? I use 3 or 4 channels on a small network, with hardly any traffic. Thanks.
They attract abuse, anyhow if it’s personal go ahead.. if we notice abuse then we’ll have to take action.
Awesome service so far, excellent ping times to caribbean
Risharde!
I’m very happy to hear this! Should we ever fail to meet your expectations reach out to me via e-mail dustin@semoweb.com
Thank You!
Just signed up! Unfortunately I didn’t see Debian 7 among the OS for me to reinstall. Opened a ticket,will see if I need to stick with Deb6 for now. Anyhow, the box and network are excellent so far.
IvanY!
Excellent, welcome aboard! Did we resolve Deb7 for you? If not, can you e-mail me the ticket # please.
My e-mail is dustin@semoweb.com
Thank You!
10 hours passed since I tried to signup and was sent to maxmind que and no resolve on the issue yet.
Hello,
Has this been resolved? If not what is your ticket #?
Anyone running an OpenVPN install on this? I signed up last night and was trying to set it up but I can’t seem to connect from my client to the openvpn server. I enabled Tun/Tap and PPP from the management area, any idea if semoweb is setup to allow NAT in their VZ.conf? Or do I need to open a ticket to request that?
Hello,
Open a ticket, we’ll get this sorted out for you!
We appreciate your business and look forward to hearing from you.
I bought the small one with 256MB RAM, 2 hours ago. This is the UnixBench result.
Welcome aboard Hermann :D
Just Bought a 256MB Box, Payment took quite long show up as “payed”, server still pending.
ID #15719
after contacting Dustin they brought up my server wthin 30 minutes, all in all i had to wait amost 4 hours, thats a little bit too much :/
Christopher,
Did I reply to you via e-mail or did my techs situate everything for you? I do not recall e-mailing you.
o, after some struggeling they managed to get the server up running so i was able to make some benchmarks:
all in all i’m happy with the servers performance at all, tho the support reaction times seem to be a little bit slow… but…. meh – now its up and running smooth
I was trying to determine what this was, figured it out! It was the service ID.
Disk space additions available for the $12/yr plan?
Hi Joel,
Yes there is.. we can customize extra space. Just reach out to us via ticket.
I have been using their service for last 4 months. Very good service & support :) .. Really happy with them :).. So can recommended..
Jibon,
We’re so happy to hear this! It’s a pleasure doing business with you.
Thank you again for allowing us to be your partner.
only 40KB/sec on the test files from Europe… I can get 1MB/sec from my VPS in Texas…
i don`t know anything linux or server management
just i know ftp upload, import sql file…
people like me can use this server?
how starting set?
do your company help me start setting?
Hello Gentle,
Our VPS are self managed, meaning you’re responsible for management.. My suggestion to you is installing a free control panel out there that will help kick-start your success! Such as Webmin, Kloxo or similar.
Good day Dustin,
I have the 12$ VPS, it was fine until 2 days ago, the speed seems unbearably slow when i do update.

Thanks!
James from your helpdesk helped me to check.
My VPS seems back to normal speed now. Really appreciate the responsive support that I received today!
Thanks again! :)
IvanY,
Sounds great! I actually have your e-mail as well :) Should you desire the move from LAX to ORL let me know.
Hello. After reinstalling OS (from Centos to Ubuntu) I can’t ssh in, got “Connection timed out”.
In VPS control panel “Status: Online”.
Zoko,
That sounds like the hostnode is not running CentOS 6.X (Have you touched base with support)?
It turns out that Ubuntu 12.04 not supported on my hostnode. I downgraded to 11 and it works!
Thanks.
Zoko,
Sounds good :) Should you really need Ubuntu 12.x we can always move you to a different node just FYI
Initial orders are quick on the $12/year, server was up within an hour. Ticket support is slow for add ons.
Put in request yesterday for cost for adding extra memory and adding Plesk (don’t care either WHM or Plesk), but got a response saying ‘sent to supervisor’ and that’s it.
Don’t want to use the free ones, learning a new server mgmt tool was not on my agenda..LOL
Also the phone number goes to voicemail.
But then again for $12 a year, can’t expect much.
Hello,
Add-ons are not processed by Support, this requires sales.. Which number did you dial? I want you to expect quality and you deserve to receive it regardless of the price.
Your taking care of me now so we are all good.
regarding the phone number I called : 1-877-706-SEMO which is what is on your support page. tried sales went to recorded message,then tried support went to recorded message … this was about 4pm CST.
Some suggestions …
1. a forum for customers to assist each other. Also a way for you to see what customers are thinking.
2. A bit more content in your knowledge base.
Looking forward to working with you guys.
Hello,
We appreciate the feedback, we’ll definitely take it into consideration.
We do need to update our knowledge base a bit more as well.
Whew! Thank you everyone! We’re officially sold out of Orlando, you guys have exhausted all of our inventory as such both packages are sold out! We still have 2GB’s available in Los Angeles https://www.semoweb.com/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=176
I bought one of these last September for the same offer, all I can say is whomever is hosting these (hostdime?) do a poor job. Downtime daily, multiple disconnects, (seems like the network at the datacenter drops out all the time). I’ve put in tickets about it before, they pretend to fix the problem and it just happens again. I’ve also had issues with vps uptime besides the poor connection (control panel stated it had no ram, thus the vps didn’t work) and they told me the server hard drive crashed and they were replacing it which took them over 10 hours to get back online (10 hours for a harddrive, please…). I suggest not to use this for anything you NEED to be up all the time. I’m currently even having issues right now, 1/2 the pings are coming back timed out.

“Fallen”,
A simple IP look up allows me to locate your account, I do see a total of 9x tickets, one of which is network/hardware related, your VPS was not down for 10 hours for ‘just’ a hard drive swap.. there was an FSCK sadly.. and you were informed this. The last ticket I show is 117d 9h 50m..
Anyhow, you mentioned you’re presently facing issues and I’m unable to replicate it and there is no ticket about it.. unfortunately we cannot help unless you bring it to our attention.. our monitoring software has not detected loss.. nor have other clients brought it to our attention.. perhaps an isolated issue?

Anyhow, we’re here to help should -anyone- have issues! We’ve yet to have reported issues in mass or anything of that nature.
Bought the 12$/year 256M VPS. Opened a ticket for a VPN issue. Respond is within reasonable time frame. The technical support (Kim) knows stuff and would be able to resolve issue quickly. I am satisfied with the service in general. Thanks!
Kingston,
Very happy to hear this! We look forward to serving you for many more years to come!
Darn, out of stock.
Too late I guess, haha…
Hello,
Send me an e-mail dustin@semoweb.com and I’ll see what I can do for you!
No way to get a slot for the 256mb $12/year???
Hello,
Send me an e-mail dustin@semoweb.com and I’ll see what I can do for you!
Hi Dustin, do you still have $12/year vps promotion? I would like to buy this one..
Thank you.
Hello,
Send me an e-mail dustin@semoweb.com and I’ll see what I can do for you!
All serversv and services are down !
No infos …
yes, it has been down for almost a week now, all service and all of my vps.
