Patrick, from INIZ, has sent the community 7 exceptional OpenVZ as well as a KVM offer from Amsterdam. INIZ has been featured many times before, and reviews from users have been quite stellar throughout the life of the company. They have also achieved 3rd place in the Top Provider quarterly poll three times in a row. The nodes that the virtual servers are hosted on are quite beefy, and very generous. They consist of Dual E5-2650 CPUs, HP RAID with flash cache and 10x4TB RAID10 disks in the Netherlands, and Dual E5-2620v1/2 CPUs, LSI 9271 RAID with CV and 8x3TB RAID10 in the United States for both of their locations. A great advantage at INIZ, which we do not see every day with other providers, is the use of dual 1Gbps uplinks for redundancy at the node level. rDNS entries are easily, and instantly configured via SolusVM, eliminating the need to waste countless hours by opening a support ticket for it to be manually configured. All offers include 1 IPv6 address by default, additional IPv6 addresses can be requested by opening a ticket. With these seven offers I am sure that there are plans that satisfy everyone’s needs. If you are a current customer with INIZ, please do share your reviews and comments below.

Unlike the majority of providers here on LowEndBox, only a few actually run their own BGP session. INIZ is one of the few and proud. They run their BGP (AS62599) sessions at each of their locations with the US, as well as the EU. Not to mention that they are also now a RIPE member, congratulations!

uptime ain’t the best but for such a low price it is great as a vpn server.
We haven’t had any long periods of downtime for months except for any planned maintenance (NYC mainly). Our NYC had some issues few weeks ago but that was due to emergency maintenance by our upstream.
To the contrary in LA. I’ve had no downtime for the last 39 days, and before that 56 days. I’m pretty sure the downtime in between was me playing around anyway.
Bad uptime? My 64 MB NL VPS:
root@server:~# uptime
22:33:29 up 197 days, 7:38, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

INIZ has been one of the best new VPS providers I have used in the last 3 years. Thanks.
Here is an uptimeRobot monitor graph I see for an VPS in NY in the 162.220 IP range):

You guys have all shown the VPS uptime, indeed the VPS is always up but the machine could be done.
@David: I have never said “bad uptime”, I just said it is not the best. There is a huge difference between saying bad versus not the best.
It is clearly stated that VPN is not allowed :-)
Public VPN is not and I am not hosting a public VPN.
I merely said uptime is not the best and see how many times I get attacked by all those fanboys of INIZ? You could believe in what you believe but you don’t have to attack others just because they don’t believe the same thing you do.
Who has attacked you? :-)
It’s kind of rude to go around accusing people of violating terms of service without knowing the details of what they are doing.
Iniz customer here, got VPSes in US and EU. Very happy with the service, performance, everything. Highly recommended!
Long-term customer of INIZ since it was called StormVZ. Extremely happy so far, and Patrick’s always there to fix any issues you may have. Downtime does happen, but it’s very rare. I’m extremely happy with the service I’ve received so far, and, for the price, it’s one of the best providers out there.
Great write up Rashid! Maarteen was right to choose you!
Also INIZ is awesome. Patrick cares about his services and customer satisfaction a lot. You can’t go wrong with INIZ.
Thanks Oktay, I really appreciate the support :-)
Regards,
R. Alkhaili
Yes, goood right up! Can you un-ban me please?
Thumbs up Rashid. Well written.
Long time customer here as well. Great and stable service from Patrick.
Hi Patrick.
Current customer here, love your service. I was wondering if you do custom plans?
I’m looking for a 2 GB KVM machine in NY.
If you believe this is possible, what’s the best way to contact you to discuss? Support ticket?
Thanks
PS – I highly recommend Iniz, they have far higher quality bandwidth than most people I’ve been using, and with the exception of the NY datacenter move I haven’t had any downtime with them.
Sure, shoot email to sales@iniz.com and it’ll open a ticket which I’ll take care of!
We’re pretty low on stock for NYC KVM, surprisingly sold really quick!
1 year with INIZ and counting. Although I’m on a OpenVZ VPS, I can count on one hand the times I experienced lag (bandwidth and/or CPU drain). And Patrick really answers quickly to your tickets :)
PS: they accept Bitcoin too!
PPS: looking to expand and I would LOVE some SSD or at least SSD-cached solutions!
In which location? We have SSD Cached in NY/LA currently for newer deployments, we haven’t found a need to do SSD caching in NL yet as IO has been great with the hardware we use their at the moment.
Thanks for the positive feedback as well!
I also started with a box at (former called) StormVZ, always a great service with excellent uptimes and powerful nodes! :)
Had boxes in NY (over a year) and NL (few months)…
Any plans for KVM in LA? I have a KVM in NY now and I like it a lot, would like on in LA from you too.
We’ll look into it, at the moment NYC/NL is our most popular locations which we are concentrating on the most.
Hey Patrick,
Would you be able to do the AMS KVM in LA? That would be awesome!
Thanks.
We’ll look into it, at the moment NYC/NL is our most popular locations which we are concentrating on the most.
do you accept file download scripts ?
Can you give an example of an “download script”?
I am using Iniz from last three four months now. before joining them i was hesitating to join them. but it was a really good decision. I am leaving ramnode now. Because I am pretty satisfied with their service.
price of nl kbm shows up as 9.xx usd instead of 6.96. is there a coupon i have to use?
Hello,
I am not aware of any coupons as all the other plans seem to be fine without any coupons. I will contact Patrick for you.
Regards,
R. Alkhaili
The url has a coupon code to it already, enter hostname and click “Add To Cart” and you will see the price of $6.96 at checkout.
If it doesn’t work, coupon is KVM1G
US 258MB shows 2 CPU cores on this posting but the cart shows 1 cpu only. Which is it?
Order form description is correct, one.
I am an Iniz customer. Great service and uptime both in EU and US. Keep it up Patrick and team.
INIZ is bad, when I submit a ticket for affiliates to appropriate credit, they said to review all the orders, and then closed the affiliates system. . .
I just purchased one of the 4GB VPS plans for 6.96/month (well $7.32 USD to be exact) and I’m pretty excited to try it out! I normally use Ramnode but it seems like people have been happy with INIZ and it was hard to pass up 4GB for $7, thanks INIZ :).

Overall, though it’s only been a couple of days, I have to say I love this place, just need to work on LA ;)
LA fixed as per ticket. We’re replacing our SSDs used for caching their this week.
Are these discounts lifetime based?
Yes!
I’ve been using Iniz for about 5 months. Their service are good, but I’m so sorry had to move to Prometeus since they have bigger space.
Been using this provider for a couple of months. More than happy with everything, great uptime and speeds. Thank you!
Is there any 128mb promotions availble?
We do.

Hi Patrick,
New guy looking for economical VPS. Seems you got the buzz. Looking for windows though as i’ve used Ubuntu on local machine (home PC) and know that the software i intend to use (MT4) is not 100% compatible with Linux Wine Emulation.
Help me out with suitable Windows alternatives.
Cheers, ;}
Hi, Is it possible to get windows?
@Patrick can you give me an offer for 3GB or 4GB KVM Windows VPS?
Do you allow red5 stream server installed ?
Last night, I was experiencing slow speeds, today received an email stating my account has been suspended.
Received this
Suspension Reason: CPU Abuse – Contact Support
If you have any pending invoices please pay them immediately or contact us as soon as possible to get your service reactivated.
Surely you should get a warning if you actually are using a high amount of CPU and also prove that a customer is.
On to the next host!
Unixbench not possible to run due ‘allocation of memory’ failed several times and Patrick Supports want to discuss with me WHY I WANT TO RUN a benchmark after they upgraded the CPU on system, it’s nonsense discussion and really piss me off that it’s not possible!!!!
That was the last answer, not really customer friendly!
—-
Well, first of all why do you want to run a Unixbench? Apart from wanting high number, it determines nothing in terms of real usage that you will probably do on the VPS.
If you are looking to just benchmark every day or run DD, their are alternative hosts to do that at.

sorry for the f word, comment was not loaded after reload and i thought here is censorship, have a nice day admin!
yeah im with him have a good few you get suspended for sending mail using awstats, alsorts, and im on all the plans upto the 6 gig and same happened there , there yearly now sux so bad i moved away and my shitty weloveserver is running better with less resources. dont crowd the shit outta um patriack your taking the mick lately with this stuff, 1 n half hours to install zpanel really not over sold its ok better than most places but maybe now greed is kicking in
