Oktay is back with a special offer for his brand VPSDime. This is the sixth time we’re featuring VPSDime. They came third in the most recent quarterly poll, having established themselves as a popular and stable provider in the community.Ā This offer features a VPS that’s not only shy of RAM and SSD space, but also not of network power: it includes a 10Gbps uplink! Oktay and his brands are known for the custom control panel they all utilize, always fully integrated into the billing area. No double logins and no SolusVM to have to fool around with. VPSDime nodes are dual E5-2620v2’s or dual E5-2640v2’s with 384GB RAM and 8 x SSD drives in RAID10. The VPSDime hardware is rented from Incero in both Dallas and Seattle, which are the only two locations this offer is available in. IPv6 does not seem to be available, but with the one IPv4 you should be safe for now. I’ve found a review for VPSDime and it’s positive one at that! Please share your own experiences with us here.
The plan
- 6GB RAM
- 30GB SSD space
- 4 vCPU cores
- 2TB traffic
- 10Gbps uplink
- 1x IPv4
- OpenVZ/Custom
- $7/month

VPSDime accepts payments via PayPal and credit and debit cards via 2Checkout.

6GB RAM,it is wasted to most of people, cloud you add more 128m/256m/512m/1g/2g…
We don’t do anything lower than 6GB unfortunately. You don’t have to use all the memory. Unused memory is not wasted. Linux will keep caching things and make your applications work faster.
If you only need 1-2GB memory, you’ll achieve that. You’ll receive a fast, reliable and affordable service with the ability to use the rest of the memory for caching by solutions like memcached, varnish, etc.
Our nodes are configured with 384GB memory, so selling lower ram VPS will not necessarily lower the price.
Your right serverian. 6GB RAM is my hope. Specially I’m developing and using social network site software and 6GB is not enough in the future. Till’ my site user is becoming more and active the memory usage is becoming high. I have ability to upgrade my RAM more than 6GB and that is one of the best option offered by VPSDime. Although I did not start till’ now my 4th social network site project and I’m lucky to use VPSDime for this new project because I already vision the future of my next social network site.
6Gb RAM with OVZ just waste money, that’s right
Care to support your claim with some facts?
The openvz has not very good isolation, and worried about the memory really usage may be not achieve 6G .
And I like large memory hosting, that is very beneficial for complex programs.
You’ll be able to use all the allocated memory all the time.
they forgot to mention the mysql offloading…. such a awesome provider the uptime on my dallas vps is awesome uptimerobot & statuscake has it 100% @ 5 months since ive had it.
Thank you my good sir!
any ETA on the storage plans being available in the U.S again?
Probably in 2-3 weeks.
“IPv6 does not seem to be available, but with the one IPv4 you should be safe for now.”
That’s part of the problem. IPv6 should easily be standard at this point. Hard to take a VPS provider seriously if they aren’t taking IPv6 seriously at this point.
We have IPv6 available on our 1Gbps networks. Anyone who requires IPv6 can ask to be put on those nodes. The datacenter is working on getting the IPv6 automation working on the new 10Gbps network. It should be up in the following weeks.
Just so you know, the usage percent of IPv6 on our other networks that supports it is below 0.1%. It’s far from widely adopted.
It will stay that way until HE and Cogent kiss and make up too.
I’m a customer vpsdime. But i can’t setup vestacp this vps, yum install failer. I don’t know why? How i can setup vestacp in vps?
VestaCP is definitely compatible. Have you opened a ticket?
Hello, I took tickets. Help please
Use -f in the end to force install. I’ve been using VPSDime for over a year now and with VestaCP. Works out of the box.
is there any way I could get a trial of this? 1 week or so? just to make sure I like it before I pay.
I’m sorry, that is not something we offer.
Just to add that I own this service for around 6 months, support is awesome and got fast responses.
I’m glad to work with VPSDime. You got much more that it’s worth for the price.
Great to have you!
Question. Why no minecraft? With 6GB of ram.. That’d be the first thing I’d want to do with this VPS service.
Minecraft and Teamspeak have proven themselves to be DDoS magnets over the years. We would like to keep our network DDoS free.
What about for private servers with a whitelisted community for friends only? Say I’m not sharing the IP with anyone other than my friends.
I’m sorry. We suggest going with a provider who is exclusively providing Minecraft hosting.
I’ve got several accounts with them. Hand down best provider so far for us. Excellent up-time as someone above mentioned. I monitor with statuscake as well, and over the past few months up-time has been 100%! Also had an issue with one of our servers load a few weeks ago and support was really helpful and friendly to get it resolved. Really recommended.
Thank you for the kind words. Your patronage is appreciated!
10gbps on Piscataway, NJ soon?
Not anytime soon, I’m afraid.
We have been with VPSDime for quite some time now using multiple VPSes without having any issues consuming all 6GB of RAM. Highly recommended!

I’ve had VPSDime and as far as their VPS goes it’s been great.
My only concern is with their offloading MySQL they do not allow much time for the MySQL timeout /keep-alive, so if you connect to their MySQL servers, and don’t use it in your PHP script for 5-10 seconds then try to run an SQL command it will result in an MySQL server has gone away error. They refuse to up the keep-alive time to account for this and I had to manually re-code most of my php scripts which connect to MySQL .
The alternative to this is using some of that 6GB to run your own MySQL databases which would be fine but I was told “MySQL processes get de-rated in priority” so they basically want to force you to use their offloading MySQL services, but refuse to use standard settings for maximum compatibility.
Ouch, that sounds like a major issue and the lack of a response seems totally out of character from everything else that I’ve read about vpsdime. Hopefully someone will chime in from the co. and give us some good news.
Our timeout variable is set to 10 seconds. Since this is an offloaded MySQL server that is getting reached over the network, keeping the connections alive more than that would cause having a lot of connections active all the time. None of our other customers have any application that needs more than 20 seconds of connection open with MySQL server. Running a SQL query more than 10 seconds is also not very beneficial on a shared environment. Because that automatically means a slow query and should be avoided.
We also don’t block the persistent connections, so you are able to connect the database server persistently.
While the MySQL processes are getting deprioritized, that doesn’t mean that they won’t run fast enough. You are more than welcome to use a MySQL server on your VPS. You are on a SSD node and I/O won’t be a problem either.
If I buy multiple servers, can they be connected internally using the internal IP, this allowing me to build a cluster with say 2 app servers, 1 db server and 1 load balancer?
This way app servers will be able to connect to the db server lot faster than it would using the public ip.
Sure, this is possible.
After I buy the servers, do I have to send in a request? Or will it come straight with inter connectivity?
You need to send a ticket.
Do the servers have to be of the exact same type to be combined?
re: Digital Currency Mining
I doubt anyone mines on CPU anymore besides botnets.. but many people confused “digital currency mining” with just running the client.
If I ran the bitcoin, dogecoin, or whatever other client, w/o actually mining… does this count as ‘mining’? I ask because this other place didn’t seem to know the difference….. host1plus, it was
If people are desperate enough, they’ll do anything for their digital gold.
Sadly, even though things like this exist in an AUP, there are people out there who really just don’t care. I would say that running just the client for a wallet would be perfectly fine, but I’m not the provider in question, so I’d ask serverian for further clarification on that.
Sure, that’s perfectly fine. Also, yeah people do try mining on CPU on a VPS. :)
Just a question for the current users and experts …
Is it possible to use Docker on this OpenVZ VPS?
I’m interested to play with Docker for some tests.
It is not possible. Docker uses LXC which is a container type virtualization that can only be run on 3.x kernels.
Thabks for this fast feedback.
Why port 80 is blocked :(
I opened a support ticket, but got no reply yet :( more then 40mins passed :(
We do not block any ports.
Do support windows images and clustering multiple vps
Is the RAM ddr3 1600
Is the ram “balooned” in your vm images? Or fully dedicated at all times
I was wondering the very same. Please post if you find the answers.
I am looking for win2k12 R2 image
Do you know if I can install DB on the same server?
This is OpenVZ virtualization. It doesn’t support Windows or BSD.
Any offers for your Windows servers? :)
Otkay mentioned we can request new images, but I don’t see the windows server 2012 R2 image!
I would be interested as well.
If they don’t have windows images here –
BTW checkout CLOUDATCOST.com windows images and onetime payment

What can be gotten in Amsterdam (according to the 3rd slide on the home page)? PS. great service so far – 0% downtime since the last occurrence 1706 hours ago.
No burstable RAM?
Be careful with these guys. I ordered the 6GB plan installed NGINX, MySQL Memcache and WordPress with W3C using RT Camp’s Easy Engine (I would check it out, it really is easy.). Then installed Jetpack and TubeAce 1.7. Offloaded my CSS and images to MaxCDN, used Cloudflare for DNS and security. In less than an hour with out even adding any content my site was suspended for heavy CPU use. On one domain and one installation of WordPress (single user) and 3 plug ins. Very disappointed.
Sounds like you probably received a Layer 7 DDoS attack which caused your load average spike above 30 and got auto suspended.
There are literally thousands of customers using their VPS with us to host WordPress. Sometimes they get attacks and we auto suspend them due to the load generated which would otherwise affect the other VPSes on the node negatively.
That’s a problem right there!
So you offer no protection against DDoS, no firewall and at the same time suspend the client’s VPS automatically.
There’s something shady going on! So Do I actually have the right to use that CPU or what?
How do I know at the same time that someone in connection with you is not doing DDoS attacks?
I’ve seen such comments about hosts doing their own DDoS on customers to charge and/or benefit in some way of that.
This is just plain lame!
This really is making me search for a different provider!
As i m looking to buy second VPS now, i want to give VPS Dime a try, but dont know how their uptime is and how good it is for live website environment.
Also its mentioned in the terms
“IF YOUR VPS(S) GETS MORE THAN ONE DDOS ATTACK (IN TOTAL), WE ARE GOING TO REFUND YOUR LAST PAYMENT AND STOP THE SERVICE. ”
Do you guys just delete the account or allow the user to stop the container and wait for ddos to stop and then start to take backup before moving, or provide a backup? I havnt got any ddos in the past and using Cpanel + CFS to secure, but just in case if it happens, how you guys deal with it.
Thanks in advance….
Jay, we just suspend the container in an even of DDoS. Then we either provide a complete backup of the VPS in a tar.gz or the folders you want, or assign a temporary IP and power it back on and have you backup your files.

Heard many good reviews about VPSDIME. I wanted to buy a VPS, but then when I checked the whois and saw that the domain VPSdime(dot)com was registered only for 2 years and it is going to expire in July 2015. Why did you register the domain for such a short period? Ain’t you intending to run the business after July 2015. I know you can renew the domain but it creates doubt over the longevity of the company when you see the domain expiring in next ten months.
It’s just a habit than anything else. I register domains year to year.
We have lots of physical assets which exceeds the domain name renewal price at x10000+. :)
I’ve gone ahead and renewed the domain for another 9 days for your viewing pleasure :p

Can you connect 2 VPS as 1? If yes does that lift the load average limit to 8 for 1 hour and 4 for 2 hours??
i’m afraid vpsdime has a “double standard”, they asks you more than they are willing to provide. So if things goes smooth, cool. If it doesn’t most probably you will lose
Im looking into a new VPS for a new client for a an opencart install coud you explain this
– Your VPS should not have a load average of 4 for more than one hour, or your VPS will get restarted.
– Your VPS should not have a load average of 2 for more than two hours, or your VPS will get restarted.
– Your VPS is configured to send a maximum of 50 emails per hour. If you have justification, please open a ticket and we’ll raise this limit for you.
Hello,
If I take this offer, how long will it last? I mean, if I pay quarterly or yearly now, what happens after it gets to next billing cycle? Does the price remain the same?
Thanks for the great offer!
A web crawler is allowed by your TOS?
im a customer of bluevm… about to jumpship now after a horrible experience with them. VPSDime seems to have lotsa good reviews. I wonder if the package still available and is the activation automated / instant after making payment through paypal?
Are all plans listed at https://vpsdime.com/cart.php?gidi=1 have SSD or is it only this one has the SSD-only option ?
Only concern is policy on Load Average 2 for more than 2 hours. Otherwise, this is an excelent deal for someone for light CPU use
I recently bought their VPS, and find it very satisfactory. Network test has given great results and I will conduct other tests. So far, I am very happy.
interested to know the reply to johns’s question about a web crawler.
For some reason after payment I was banned automatically? What is up with this company? This is the first time it has ever happened to me.
I have been using VPS-Dime for last 3 months and there server is really good. I can only use some 2 GB Memory, but yes it’s good to have more free memory.

Can I use Linux desktop? Is there a default distribution available for Debian Desktop or Ubuntu Desktop, etc.?
You can use GNOME or LUBUNTU or MATE GUI with your Ubuntu OS.
Than use x2go server to use through your Home PC/Laptop
This is just to say that I have a VPS with VPSDime and I’m really pleased with them. They are fast and affordable, and I think it’s awesome to have the 6GB RAM as I run some stuff that sometimes requires most of it.
What Kernel does Ubuntu 14. run ? I want to install virtualbox .My current VPS runs kernel 3.13.0-042stab094 and its not up-gradable or supported ? so I cant install virtualbox.
Thanks
Just signed up. I like the support is very very fast.
Hi Oktay,
Will you guys be making a new promotion for LEB anytime soon?
The have rude and very unprofessional support staff, my worst experience with them :-(
can i use vpsdime for running website like pool cryptocurrency?
I am using Linux Vps hosting from https://www.miditech.co.in/ but now i want to change my hosting company…. please suggest me VPSDime for better hosting option ?
Do you offer any distro with visual graphic interface. I need to setup a machine that I can access remotely using some VNC like TigerVNC to run somethings mostly navigate some websites though it and make run some apps. Could be Arch Linux or something like this.

I’ve been using VPS Dime since this offer, almost 2 years ago, and currently have 3 VPS there (LAMP, virtualmin, varnish, wordpress,…), mainly for hosting customers websites.
The service is good, support is responsive and fast, in these 2 years had a couple of issues that led one or another server to get temporarilly suspended (virus uploaded by customers, load spikes,…), but they always helped me solving the issues and really do their best to keep things going.
I’ve had terrible experiences with other VPS providers (one is listed in this site), and really with these guys I can only say that i’ll remain their happy customer for a long time
Service has been good for me on vpsdime. There are occasional outages that last an hour or so (a couple so far this year on my vps) so I have not been too happy about that. They sometimes take servers down and might not inform users ahead of time when they are doing this, and their estimate of how long the servers will be down are not too accurate (they might say 2 hours, but it might take 6 hours to restore service). So other than these issues, I’ve been quite happy. Response times are quick to my questions, however mostly they cannot tell the reason for some issue my server is experiencing, they will simply tell me that I should hire a person who can help me manage my server.
Very Rude Company, My Girlfriend decided to make an account using my Email and Pay for a server for the first time ever, and Contact them as according to the site when we she purchased Via Debit Card it completed but when she check her invoice it was unpaid,So when she contacted them, VPSDime asked for a transaction ID, She replied back to them saying Where would the Transaction ID be as like i mentioned she new to this and never brought a server before… So she replied back and They decided to delete her account, So she made a ticket to them asking why they deleted her account, but the owner kept Closing the Ticket, So I decided to make one For My Self and Pay using My Girlfriends Paypal, He refunded the Money and PERM Banned Me for Apparently Making Orders.
“Ban Reason: Banned due to Orders
Ban Expires: 12/31/2020 23:59”
LMAO, Unless he does not want people to buy servers from him then id be Surprise what he is like in person, I highly do not recommend This Company
After being with VPSDime for 2 weeks we cancelled our service. I’m writing this review because the issue wasn’t with VPSDime or it’s support staff. We we’re going to use VPSDime to host the frontend E-Commerce site for a business we are launching but the aged kernel they use for OpenVZ had us frought with errors. However some of the errors we’re over came with expedient responses from Support Staff. Some we’re software based and we just couldn’t get around.
In the end after being there 10+ days past the refund policy they still gave me a full refund. Further more this is for no bad marks on their support team either. I had an average across 6 tickets of 10 minutes or less on responses.
Overall I’d say if you are looking for cheap hosting and can live with the aged 2.63.2 Kernel it should do fine. If you need to generate a lot of secrets open a ticket and let them know in advanced to install Haveged for you. Outside of that if I need basic hosting on an older kernel their plan and package was well worth the $27.00 a quarter.
Created an account, paid a few bucks to try it out. after payment was recieved my IP was automatically banned for no reason.
Ban Reason: Banned due to Orders
Paypal paid me back but no contact possible with the company, they dont respond to emails at all
1/10, would stronly recommend against this VPS Provider
Iām a customer vpsdime. I used vpsdime service since 2012, and until now s still happy with their services.
I am using VPS dime for three and http://shopperzshop.com/ is the wordpress website which has more than 100000 products but very stable.
I have been using VPSDime for our website http://alexwebhosting.com/ . I must say their services are very good and customer support team is very prompt. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good VPS provider on a budget.
weak ddos protection and they have alot of down time specially since i ddos them daily
One of the best online business relationships I have ever had.
I still have this server running. Never re imaged. Customer service was always quick, always!, and I had very little support / interaction with them as the network and hardware are never problematic. Had a hardware upgrade and did not even show up as a blip on the radar re downtime.
Never any glitches in the affiliate program.
I only stopped marketing them on my domains because the owner got in contact with me and explained I was out ranking them on Google search for VPSDime :-) So I stopped some time in 2015. It was paying for it’s self and I had no worries in referring VPSDime.

This package is a very good value. Over time 30gigs of disk space for my ageing and growing blogs is not enough. I purchased another VPS a KVM this time with 6cpu / 6ram / 60g SSD* on newer hardware $69/year. Via a deal I found here of course “SparkVPS.
If VPSDime reads this and if you ever have a deal that looks like ^^* PM or email me.

STAY AWAY from this ridiculous company. I signed up last night for a VPS, and FIRST, it “VERIFIED” my email address before it let me check out, okay that was weird but whatever I verified. Second, after paying, the owner emails me asking WHAT ARE MY INTENTIONS with this VPS? As if I was trying to marry his daughter. Okay VERY Weird, but I answered honestly and said I was going to host my Business WordPress websites. He responded again in the wee hours of the morning, questioning my god damn billing information, now i’ve had enough, this company is asking ridiculously intrusive questions and clearly doesn’t WANT my business. Cancelled and asked for refund immediately. I WARN people I’d definitely stay away from a host like this, what I do with my websites and what my billing address is is NONE of his god damn business when I am NOT breaking any terms of service and my payment is VALID with paypal from an established paypal account of 15 years old. Absolutely ridiculous business owner. ALL other hosts simply SETUP the VPS And send you the password, this guy’s ridiculously strict and while my REAL Estate business websites would break ZERO terms of service, I’m 100% sure he would give me problems constantly every day or week monitoring my sites like a hawk coming up with bullshit saying my wordpress websites are using too much resources and constantly suspending me without cause. STAY AWAY.
