I think I better be careful what I said on this blog, as any personal opinion would turn out to be public endorsement, as seen in 2HOST.com’s latest offer on WHT.
We are nominated as the BEST Low End Box VPS HOST of 2009!
Well I did have a few reboots after making my last 2HOST comments but the outages were all pretty short, and I am still very happy with my 512MB Xen VPS in St. Louis. Now they have some new packages. For $6.99/month you can get the C-Class…
- 512MB memory/1024MB swap
- 14GB storage
- 10TB/month data transfer
- Xen/SolusVM
Servers are in Asheville FL NC. That’s some serious monthly data transfer allocation there (on GBit as well). If you prepay for a year it’s $69.99 (~$5.83/month).
Now I actually don’t mind giving out some endorsement, because 2HOST has just passed me and LowEndBox readers some exclusive offer! Use the coupon code LEB2HOST to get 10% off recurring discount.

Nice reviews about 2Host so far.
Ordered today with your coupon code, i’m waiting for the VPS to be online.
One weird thing: there is no business info on invoices, only a bad positioned logo …
they have gigabit lines on the VPS?
I ordered a VPS with 2 IPs. They only set me up with 1 IP and Host In A Box was not setup as I requested. Their “automated” setup leaves something to be desired. And there isn’t anyone online for support. I have cancelled my account with them.
Amazing offer! Thanks for LEB coupon!
$24 per additional IP and $72 for a Directadmin license! Killer prices indeed !
Erm, I think you mean Asheville, NC. If UBER was down here in Florida I’d definitely visit them.
I think this is a good deal even the addons are high priced.
Maybe i should go with them.
@InsDel — Sorry I have no idea. Could have checked :P Error fixed.
I actually ordered one yesterday (for someone else, not for myself) and got the VPS activated within minutes. A lot quicker activation than last time.
Same issues as Bert White (ordered 2 IP’s, I got only one)
Also, now I can’t connect to VPS Control Panel (SolusVM) :(
My VPS is working … still :)
Their price was absolutly good .
but their support was not so good.
the response was so delay.
and the network was not very well too.
what could say .
please do not expect it will gave you pretty well vps.
Still no connection on SolusVM control panel :(
@ Bert White: Please send an email to support. I could not find any (support) emails from you.
@ Matt: DirectAdmin is $6/m, IPs are $2/m.
@ Netroby: We actually believe in high quality standards. If your opinion is otherwise, please let me know how can improve our services further. You can contact support and mention my name in the subject (Tom).
@ Soring: Could you please check now?
Thanks!
Hooray! Looks like they’ve cured the sluggish SolusVM logon and offline display errors.
@Sorin – are you accepting the certificate when trying to logon on for the first time?
I’ve spent the past several hours researching cheap VPS servers and just about everything I was finding either had terrible customer reviews or would set me back at least $30/month, which just isn’t feasible over a cheap shared-hosting plan for personal stuff.
I came across this site and actually found some good information and not just a company overview with no customer input. So far 2Host.com looks the most promising with http://fanaticalvps.com ranking somewhere close to it. Unfortunately it seems Fanatical is hosted in Germany, so that may be an issue.
I didn’t have any luck finding any user reviews for them either since they are a new company. I am anxious to see what the users of 2Host.com that posted here have to say in the long run regarding their experience so when I get ready to switch, I can make sure I’m not wasting my time.
Also as a side note ….., I had a somewhat difficult time finding the pricing mentioned in this post. When I went there, they all started at $39 and went up with no hints on where to find the cheaper hosting. At first I checked this article date thinking it was out-dated and perhaps they spiked their rates, but that wasn’t so. Turns out you have to go to the home page, then click on “Order Now” – “Easy & Secure” to get to the page with the lower rates.
Then just select an ‘unmanaged’ plan, but do note that support isn’t included, so it may be very limited and lacking.
They don’t mention anything about what software versions they offer, such as what version of PHP, MySQL, etc., so do any of you know this?
And what do you all recommend regarding email hosting since this isn’t part of the hosting plan?
Thanks again for the great info.
Are these prices permanent or just a sale?
@Mudel — if the trend on WHT continues, it looks like some kind of permanent sale :)
so far, i like my 2host server. setup took a little longer because they didnt send me my account infos for the vserver. but the submitted ticket was answered within few hours, and now everything works nicely.
I just ordered a vps and it was activated instantly
Nice offer! I’d order one right now, but they are lacking in disk space.
I wonder if you’ll be in the same data center as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Climatic_Data_Center"National Climatic Data Center. :)
I’ve just ordered a VPS and used the coupon you gave. Looking forward to have a great time with 2Host VPS.
Thank you so much for sharing the informations.
All problems solved.
They rebooted the VPS in weekend, but services are running ok.
Also, I did get my second IP.
I chose to terminate my vps at the end of the billing cycle, but they killed it immediately. FYI to anyone else who would be thinking of using that option. Still had almost three weeks on it.
I put in a ticket and regarding the issue and they sent me a full refund for the mistake.
Anyone else having a problem where they keep losing the subscription payments? My account has been disabled twice now in the last year when my subscription payment occurs every month on the 27th… I have to open a ticket when my machine goes down, ask them to fix, and they credit my account with the payments and re-enable the vps.. it’s annoying to say the least.
C-class price is showing 7.99/month. Is an Offer of 6.99/month expired?
Just signed up. Ubuntu 9.10 does not work, but 9.04 does. It’s twice as fast network-wise than BuildYourVPS.com (I’m in Boston), and definitely cheaper.
Are these all Xen plans? Interesting to me that they mention “BURST” in their order form, since Xen does SWAP, not burst.
Then again I might just be nitpicking :P
Yes all Xen plans. Yes it is confusing. But it is just as confusing as “burst” in OpenVZ plans, which should have been “maximum sum of malloc()”, which in itself is confusing to average web hosting pundits.
@Jon I do not think 2HOST works with PayPal subscription.
@innya It does look like the price has risen. LEB2HOST 10% discount is still valid though.
@ LowEndAdmin – Just figured a company that sells Xen VPSs would at least use the term ‘SWAP’ instead of burst, considering they’re not really the same.
@LEB, there’s nothing stopping you from using the correct wording. Gotta admit though that after years of hearing and reading “bandwidth” used as an amount of measurement instead of a speed, I’ve given up hope of folks using it correctly.
Indeed. I am not defending 2HOST — they should have used swap rather than burstable, to further confuse those shopping for virtual servers. I guess my point is that the name “burstable” itself is confusing.
Ditto for “bandwidth”
They’ve increased the price of this package.
It’s now 7.99$
From their AUP:
“IRC – All IRC activity is prohibited. This includes running any type of IRC software including, but not limited to, IRC client software, IRC server software, web-based IRC software, IRC bots such as “eggdrop”, and IRC proxies such as “psyBNC”.
Proxy Servers – Proxy Servers are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, SOCKS proxies, Squid proxies, Bittorrent Proxies, Tor, and any CGI or PHP proxy scripts.”
That’s unfortunate. Was considering the “Class C” package @ an annual billing cycle until I read that gestapo bs. Some of us aren’t dependent on FaceBook for communication and prefer the privacy and security (ssl encryption, no adware tracking me/users, etc..) an IRCd can provide. Sure there’s a negative stigma attached with IRC due to botnets, but the same is true for almost any technology. E-mail, XSS, CSRF, SQL injections due to poorly written web-apps, DNS cache poisoning, the list goes on and on. If you’re going to block “ALL IRC” and “ALL PROXY”, go ahead and block “ALL HTTPD” and “ALL DNS” while you’re at it. geez.
Oh well… There are other providers that don’t enforce unreasonable limitations on specific protocols who will gladly accept my business. What a naive policy… Also love how the SLA only applies to the Dedicated servers. Any intentions of publishing a SLA for your VPS customers?
Guy
@ Guy – Yeah, it’s unfortunate that a lot of providers restrict IRC. Sure, huge networks like EFnet might be prone to botnets and other attacks but there’s still tons of private IRC networks with good intentions.
Hi Guys, i’ve just bought vps from 2host using LEB2HOST and its still valid, same problem with @Bert hostinabox was not setup instead support given me instructions to install it, thats ok its easy. Nameservers:IP was not included in the welcome email. How can i get them? Also i have no idea why wget fails and give me this error “failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.” Pls help.
If the name server is not configured, just use Google’s or Level3’s.
In /etc/resolv.conf, put

@ Vlad
Nice. What distro, services/daemons are you running? Have you had to submit any support requests for anything? Did you sign up for the 512MB Xen mentioned in this post or another package?
Thanks!
Guy
I am running centos 5 with nginx, transmission, and a hlds. I signed up for the 512 with 1024 burst. I haven’t tried any support requests yet, even though my control panel isn’t properly hooked up to monitor my bandwidth usage (but that doesn’t matter much if they promise 10TB). I did forget to pay for 2 days and nothing was shut down, so that was nice. Overall very happy.
lol@David – you are exactly the kind of customer unmanaged hosts can do without.
Bought a server 1 day ago. It’s still offline. Not booting from control panel. No response from customer support. Only silence. Hey, guys, are your there?
2Host is a fraud. Money was paid and no response for a week. Server was not working. Nothing. I ask to resund and get a refuse. Dont buy anything from this company.
I have (had) a vps with 2host as a DNS server. It went down yesterday morning at around 9 am. I sent in a support request that was answered at 9:30 pm, over 12 hours later which said the problem had been resolved. It wasn’t. The server is still down now after 24 hours. I would stay away from 2host.
