Thanks for the post Ishaq!

On the annual plans, is the bandwidth transfer for the entire period or per month?
Contacted their support with this exact question, the reply I got was:
The bandwidth is per month. Each month it resets and 2TB more for that month.
Please PM me. Thanks.
6G ram with only 6 IPV6?
Hi John,
We can always assign more IPv6 addresses if required, just contact us through the helpdesk.
Thanks,

There is no $12/year offer in Asia, the post title is misleading.
agree
Hi,
Title wasn’t meant to be misleading. Offers do start at $12/year and USA, EU, and Asia are included in this post.
agree. include the $12/year plans first.. otherwise it is misleading
why not a KVM?
KVM will be available later this month.
Alexander
Coming, coming coming.. but never released.. just lied all the time,like everyone does
If you would like early access, just shoot us an email (sales@hostus.us) ;)

Just bought one for try and so far everything looks ok. Now installing stuff.
Your panel looks cool, but I use to connect to SolusVM by API to gather info (badnwidth) and remote reboot. Do you think you will open some API access at some point ?
Thanks!
yeah, I asked same question while ago.
What programs do you use for remote access?
Just bought one in LAX and so far looks good.
Your panel is cool, but are you planning to open some API access ? I access other SolusVM for bandwidth usage info and for remote reboot and would love to be able to connect to your panel also.
Thanks! :D
Thanks! We are considering the possibility of a SolusVM-compatible API.
Alexander
The support is good, they fix an issue with PPP on the solusvm container and they were kind and fast.
VPS performs well.
Recommended.
Their machines are great, I’m with them for a month and have nothing to complain. Alexander promptly answers my questions even though it’s an unmanaged vps
Thanks for your business!

You cannot get too much from cheap OpenVZ
LOL coming from the KING of CHEAP. HostUS is a top notch provider. You should kiss Alexander’s butt now for saying something so stupid.
You’re cheap skater still not eaten Kiss self ass
It looks like Google routed you to their Chennai (India) POP on their network, not the best for latency but Google tend to change their routing very often.
Alexander
Think it might have been the ‘google node’ that the DNS picked at the time as I get the followign results:
And then when forcing the IP that you hit I get the ~same times.
I bought a 6 GB vps in LA. Having strange network issues that I haven’t seen before, not able to reach publically accessible services. No response from support going on 4 hours. Not a great first impression.
Sorry but not recommended. Something is weird with their network, despite using google’s DNS servers, I can’t reach certain public websites. Support is silent. I requested a refund.
Hi Jeff,
Do you have a ticket ID that I can check?
Alexander
Unfortunately the rather extensive list of of banned services includes Teamspeak :P
Curious to know why – I understand banning services that overuse resources, but TS doesn’t look like being one of those to me – at least the non commercial/unlicensed use. Maybe I’m unfamiliar to the industry (well, somewhat), but why instead of banning services, don’t they limit core services – like “up to 10k mails per month” (or whatever), besides banning illegal/unsavoury activities and implementing fair use, ofc)?
TeamSpeak is typically prone to DDoS attacks, and mass mailing is another story :) If something reasonable you want to run is banned, let us know.
Alexander
Every service is prone to DDoS attacks, TS is no exception. But unlike web or dns, one can move TS to some other higher port. With a few fw-rules to stop port-scanning, it might be quite difficult to find if TS is running and therefore more immune to DDoS than any other service bound to fixed port.
No reason to bann it just because the reason you mentioned (btw, thought about getting one of your VPS as backup for my server, but with TS banned it is no go for me)…
check their terms,not permit to use wine? that’s not good.
Singapore node IP don’t get any country-assigned. So if you looking for singapore assigned ip’s server, this provider can’t serve you yet (can check the looking glass’ ip in cmyip).
And if you’re from indonesia, and using telkom (don’t know about other provider), you’ll get high ping to singapore node, as they have routed to US first then back to singapore.
Our Singapore IPs already have the correct geolocation information with MaxMind, we are working to add the correct data to other databases. We would be happy to look at the routing issue you are having, if you can submit a ticket.
Alexander
Telkom Indonesia routing to Singapore isn’t fixed yet. Not only to HostUS’s server, but Equinix too. The problem is on Telin routing. Telkom Indonesia will route your packet to Telin network first, for the International Access.
Have been using their service for more than one year, and very satisfied. Stable server and very quick response.
Thanks for your feedback!
Alexander
Hi, I’ve been with Hostus for close to 2 years now and have purchased multiple services at different times and I’m very happy with them. It’s great value for money.
Thanks for your feedback!
Alexander
it is a pity not permit using wine.
It’s a pity not permit using wine.
Another almost happy customer, with about 2 years with them. Service has been terrific, equipment stable, etc. The only concern is DDOS attacks in Dallas location, which doesn’t seem to have DDOS prevention. If HostUs experiences DDOS with your VPS in the end, they just shut down your VPS. No notification, no communication – nothing!! So simply put – your VPS can [randomly] shutdown – even if you have top notch security/do nothing wrong. So you can be thinking that your VPS is up, while you are loosing your pagerank. However upon few email exchanges, HostUs brought the VPS up – about half a day later. And the response was that there are no capabilities to automatically notify clients when the shutdown happens. So.. couple of recommendations – based on my experience:
– Avoid Dallas location, which is where the shutdown did happen. My VPS(s) in Atlanta location was unaffected. Maybe the hackers didn’t target it, or DDOS protection worked.
– Ensure that you enable StatusCake or any other monitoring, so that if your VPS is down for more than 15 minutes – you get notification
– If location doesn’t matter much to you – I’d go with Atlanta location, which may have been their first one (not sure). At least maintenance processes in (one of their) first locations were good enough to prompt their subsequent growth.
– If you do not need too many resources, consider running several smaller VPS (e.g. like the special above) rather than larger ones. This way when they shut down your VPS (without communication) – only one website is affected, not all running on that box.
Otherwise HostUs team and Alexander was quickly (~20 min to 1 hr in most cases) able to address concerns, and responses were fairly knowledgeable.
Thanks for the feedback for your service! Our DAL02 location is fully protected; we will roll out free DDoS protection in our DAL01 location as soon as our upstream has it available.
Alexander
Ping times aren’t great to/from Sydney. 350ms+ from Dallas. My other Sydney VPSes are at 240ms and 220ms respectively. Similarly, from Atlanta to Sydney it is 342ms for HostUS VPS and 219ms for another VPS.
Could you please submit a ticket so we can look at this issue?
Alexander
Ordered a 768MB VPS from LA, paid with Paypal. The status is pendding and I can not access my VPS, I’ve opened a ticket for activating it but there is no answer.
Orders are activated within a few hours after ordering as we manually review each and every order.
Alexander
hello, i have three questions
1.vps HostUS support ddos protection ?
2.Can i upgrade(Ram,cpu) after purchase ?
3.vps with full root access ?
thank you so much
It has full root access only some locations have DDoS protection
i have three questions .
-vps HostUS support ddos protection ?
-Can i upgrade(Ram,cpu) after purchase ?
-vps with full root access ?
thank you so much
DDoS protection is available in some locations; and yes for your other two questions.
Alexander
I’m the happy costumer. Almost 2 years with more than 10 VPS and everything more than my expectations. The only problem is last month DDOS attack on London server. How is going now for London? Everything OK?
Issues with London were resolved a few weeks ago. Thanks for your business!
Alexander
please open server
i did pay 12hour ago
why not open my server?
Can I switch to yearly billing if I signed up on monthly?
When is the offer ending?
Yes, we can change your billing cycle anytime. We do not have a firm end date for the offer.
Alexander
Hi!
Just ordered the 768MB plan for €12/year.
How long does it take to be deploy the VM?
Currently pending.
Thx
Orders are activated within a few hours after ordering as we manually review each and every order.

Got a VPS with HostUS several months ago, have had no problems :)
This deal is tempting. I’ve read DDoS protection is available in some locations, anyone know which locations?
DDoS protection is fully available in Washington DC and Dallas (DAL02). We are currently testing DDoS mitigation in London, Atlanta, Dallas (DAL01) and Los Angeles. It is included for free with all services in these locations.
Alexander
Very nice guys and services!
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Alexander
no ticket answer … why?
why not open server?
Signed up for a 6GB VPS in LA last night, Bitcoin transaction went smoothly (big thanks for accepting BTC), provisioned in less than 45 mins despite it being in the middle of the night, everything going well so far!
Thanks for your business, Derek.
Alexander
i did pay for skrill
$11
$1
becouse i newbi
but they are not open vps server
my server is still pendding at 12hour
In response to this comment as well as your other comments: Skrill payments are not applied automatically, could you please open a ticket with your transaction ID?
Alexander
signed up for a VPS in London 3 days ago
took me around 10 minutes to wait for the email
after 3 days of using, i am really happy with the vps. connection is good, i/o is pretty good too
Breeze panel, as its named, is a breeze. very user friendly and easy to use.i like it when you guys enabled the option for a user to change the rDNS/PTR by theirselves without having to email or open up a support ticket.makes thing easier for me & i believe all of us. pleasure dealing with you guys !
I’m glad to hear that you are having a good experience with your London VPS :)
Alexander
I can vouch for HostUS, have had a VPS with them for a year. Top notch support (knowledgable and generally quick). VPS has been stable and pricing is very good. As others have mentioned, their homegrown “Breeze” control panel is very simple to use.
Thanks for the vouch Darren!

Checked out with a 768MB RAM VPS, and got marked as fraud. Submitted a ticket. Will post further once I can get my hands on the box.
Been using the box for about a day, and I love it. I’ll definitely be renewing next year–and might even pick up a few more.
Update: bought a second one. This is a killer deal.
Thanks for your business!
Alexander
Just purchase 3 x $12/yrs deal. Could use it for personal VPN i suppose.
I’m planning to use OpenVPN over ssh, i see public vpn are prohibted, how about personal vpn?
Personal VPN usage is allowed. We do not allow public VPNs.
Alexander
please setup vps. its been pending for almost 1 hr
The old offer of 6 GB of ram provided more IPv4 addresses. A shame this has changed, it had a very good value that old offer.
I snagged the $18 quarterly deal in LA. This VM is a beast! I’m very happy with the low-latency and good bandwidth. I got excited seeing they support IPSec on OvZ, but after trying it out I can confirm that it does not work on their latest Debian or Ubuntu images. Support was responsive and told me they would notify their developer to take a look.
Thanks for your feedback!
Alexander
“Public VPN” is banned in the terms of service. What is the definition for “public”?
It is considered public if its credentials are freely available on the internet.
Alexandr
A lot of these questions can be easily asked via a sales ticket… oh right, low end helpdesk
Hi, noob question: can I install windows server 2012 on the VPS?
Unfortunately, OpenVZ does not support Windows.

one thing i not understand :) about panels , :D
zPanel / Sentora / Kloxo (Kloxo-MR / VestaCP are okay)
personally am vestaacp user , but i will be happy if you people explain why zpanel and kloxo are baned :P

Some pretty bad packet loss this evening…
Did you open a support ticket with MTR reports or just commented here?
Ordered in Dallas great speed and ping from southwestern US.If you want to run a email server then stay away from LA locations because someone got all IP’s on that block blacklisted. Support fixed my problem though and re provisioned in Dallas.

I signed up for their cheap one-year plan almost one year ago, and I’ve found it unreliable overall. The VPS would often become available, and sometimes would not come back until I opened a ticket letting them know it was unavailable. Their response to those tickets would be something like “It should be fine now,” but no explanation of why it had gone wrong. Performance was also spotty, with sometimes unusably slow I/O.
Maybe I shouldn’t complain too much considering what I paid, but on the other hand my VPS’s from RamNode and Crissic are giving me much better quality for a similar price.
Do you have a ticket ID that I can make reference to?
Alexander
HUS-21074109, HUS-61145407, and HUS-555208059
These were mostly issues from mid-2015, when we were implementing a new DDoS mitigation solution that sometimes had false positives.
We have since switched to another provider for this, and would love the opportunity for you to try us again.
Alexander
Ordered a second VPS with them, and so far, so good.
Asked somethings to their support and they were ok in time, and nice.
Recommended at a good price.
Thanks for your feedback!
Alexander
Don’t buy server from them,they will simple suspended your server because node issue.
load average: 8.72, 7.02, 5.83
%Cpu(s): 16.8 us, 5.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 73.5 id, 4.4 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
They suspended my server,the cpu usage is very low,and the load is extramly high,all apps stucked.
I send them a ticket,they finally replied “This server was unsuspended.”.
The CPU usage percentage was probably taken after the (un)suspension, as we only record the load average for suspensions.
Alexander
So you just want suspended someone’s vps and sell them again?or suspended them all and sell them again?
Hi Alexander, can you provide other DC in Asia which can direct link to China mainland? No need big band width, maybe 1-5m is enough, many clients need low ping to open website or play game. I heard that Current softlayer is already reject direct link.

I bought 30+ vpses from them,not all of them have this issue.
It random haapened on some vps,maybe all of them,maybe i just don’t see it.
It would be high risk if you pay them yearly.
I have ordered about 30+ vps yearly plan about 10 month ago,now they changed the terms,and say that you are running prohibited service.
It is useless now.
Care to elaborate what was added?
What were you running?
Alexander
If you don’t allow it i won’t buy,and,i won’t buy anything from you in future.
A lot of vps provider do allow it,so,i don’t care you allow it or not.
Also cpulimit is useless if the cpu performance is bad enough.
My file got auto deleted,a lot of issue that caused the app not running normally,it never happened in my other vpses which bought from another vps provider.
I have been able to find tickets related to your case. Just to reiterate some key points that we mentioned in your tickets:
[VPS IP] is running Hitleap which is a a prohibited service.
[VPS IP] is running automated web browsing: Automated Browsing: firefox -P profile1 -no-remote imacros://run/?m=autosurf.iim
[VPS IP] is running automated web browsing: Automated Browsing: firefox -P profile1 -no-remote imacros://run/?m=autosurf.iim
HitLeap and other artificial traffic generators weren’t ever allowed with us; these items are also commonly prohibited with other providers.
All your VPSes have one vCPU core, and with the stats that you have posted here (load average: 10.97, 9.17, 6.76), you have been using at least 6 times your allocated CPU resources.

No CPU or Hardware Usage Restriction
Unlimited Bandwidth
With coupon 51% discount,2 core 1024 GB ram only about 2.7$ monthly.
They do allow all traffic generators.
Did you really not changed your terms?
hi really interested in getting hosting from u, is this suitable for my online gaming team (Clan) we want to run a voice commuication server like Skype called TeamSpeak 3. not sure on BW requirements so hope for unlimited we average 30 users at peak usage.
Unfortunately, TeamSpeak is not allowed as per our terms and conditions.

What about murmur? It’s only the mumble client prohibited right?
Asked HostUS support about it and they replied: all VoIP-software is banned (not only TS and Mumble) because of possible DDoS-attacks.
Personally I do not see any sense in it (any other service can be DDoS-ed too), but their servers = their rules. Wanted to buy one VPS, but due to this rule it is “no go” for me…
Any chance to see a server bear benchmark from your Atlanta and LA servers?
Which plan, in particular?
Alexander
Thanks for the reply. This one:
– 6GB RAM
– 4 vCPU Cores (Fair Use)
– 1Gbps uplink
Just wanted to follow up and see if you got to do a serverbear on ether of those servers? Sorry to ask, just hoping to purchase a server today :)
Here it is: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2016/04/29/wNBBlZ88kGwZMJGU
Alexander
Impressive benchmark! Thank you.
Sorry to ask, but any chance to see Dallas or LA?
They would have similar performance / network.
Alexander
I want to set up on OpenVAS box to do routine vulnerability scans of my other hosts. Would this be allowed or would this fall under “IP Scanners/Port Scanners” or “Hacking Tools”?
How many hosts are you looking to scan at once?
Alexander
Bought a 6GB Ram VPS
Going super :)
But, looks like speed is getting little slower day by day.. :(
Yeah, I kind of expect that to a point, but it is nice to see in away some of their packages sold out, show they do limit their servers reasonably. Any chance you can post a serverbear.com benchmark of your package?
Just bought minimal one, thanks. But I haven’t prompted to select OS image, and it defaulted to CentOS. Am I able to use some debian/ubuntu image?
Yes, you can choose Debian / Ubuntu from the rebuild page.

This looks good for a minecraft server. Wow $1 a month for 768MB!
I installed CentOS on my box and it can’t pin anything external. Any suggestions?
Hello All,
I am using the services (VPS, Reseller Hosting) of HOSTUS.US for quite a long time.
No complaint and no hassle what so ever till now.
Their Customer and support services are (in my opinion) second to none.
I have used different providers since 1995 and I found HOSTUS almost perfect.
Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Hello,
I am using the services HOSTUS is providing for 2 years now.
I have 6GB special VPS 786MB RAM VPS and Premium reseller hosting.
All working fine. Super support service and ticketing system.
No complaints what so ever. I do not abuse the service and do not get suspended.
I am in hosting biz since 1995 and used (Still using 3 other providers) several providers.
Try them and you find what I mentioned is correct.
Ask any questions if you have.
All great! The only thing hostus doesn’t provide is API access for server management.
Yes, that is my only cons, I am sueper happy with this provider. Service is good, VPS works and support is nice. The day I can manage the VPS by API it will be great!
Just bought a VPS in London for personal VPN. WIll see.
So far no problems. Personal VPN works fine and fast.
Few weeks later still working great :)
Bought one in LA but someone had got the block of IPs on a spam blacklist. Support was very helpful and reprovisioned it in Dallas.
Two Mont ago.. I used your service! your London always maintain.. why it happens to much?
can i run ts3 server on these vps?
Can I install OpenVPN and resell it?
*not public VPN.
Good machine, but little slow on activation as it need manual review on payment.

I guess they maybe accessed my data without any authorition,so,i never put any important data on these vps which i bought from them,and also,you’d better do some respect to your customer.
IDS and networking kit can “see” the type of traffic and if you meet certain pattens then you get flagged so don’t moan when you get caught

Also got their $12/year box, incredible price.
Machines work great and fast so far, I’m really impressed.
Super friendly staff, amazing speeds and IO + cpu. Sadly the server I bought did not quite meet my requirements, but overall an amazing host.

Do you allow personal IRC bouncer?
why is port 25 blocked on asia VPS?
I have recently purchased 6gb ram vps server. after hosting 2 wordpress websites it consumes more than 3gb of ram.
The free command is the most simple and easy to use command to check memory usage on linux. Here is a quick example
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7976 6459 1517 0 865 2248
-/+ buffers/cache: 3344 4631
Swap: 1951 0 1951
The m option displays all data in MBs. The total os 7976 MB is the total amount of RAM installed on the system, that is 8GB. The used column shows the amount of RAM that has been used by linux, in this case around 6.4 GB. The output is pretty self explanatory. The catch over here is the cached and buffers column. The second line tells that 4.6 GB is free. This is the free memory in first line added with the buffers and cached amount of memory.
Linux has the habit of caching lots of things for faster performance, so that memory can be freed and used if needed.
The last line is the swap memory, which in this case is lying entirely free.
Why did the 12$ all of a suddon become 15? :(
Very happy with the 6gig VM, great performance and no issues
Don’t buy from them, is a waste of money, i’ve been with them for 5 months, they are incredible, when something happens they happy tell you that is because of you, if you don’t use (because is practically unusable) the vps (they will suspend or shutdown and tell you crap ).
I have 3 vps’s (one in UK and two in US) with them (complete waste of money).

be aware…
Very Happy with the 6GB box, Superb and just what I needed
$12 offer is $16 now. So sad.
i can’t believe all my 5 VPSs with them are down today. I can’t even access the contact us page on their main website.
Ok, well where do I start? I have had a horrible experience, since I have purchased my VPS from HostUS.
I order one of the 6GB VPS in the ATL DC. It took them a few hours to approve the order and set it up. They sent me all the info, I logged in, SSH’d in and connected and started using it and kept getting ‘Connection reset by peer’ in SSH, over and over again. So I opened up a ticket and they didn’t know what to do. Finally someone jumped in and said that I had gotten someone else’s IP and that they assigned me another IP. So then with the new IP, I connected and started working on my server and getting it setup and again… the same thing started happening, over and over again… then they had to build an entire new VPS for me and then assign me a 3rd IP… well… I was connected and had almost everything setup on there and boom… disconnected right in the middle of using it… and it appears that now my IP has been banned from the network for like the last 24+ hours.. as I can not connect at all to my VPS, it appears down… and I also can not even get to the Host.US website, as it shows that the HostUS website is down and I keep getting a ‘CloudFlare’ website is offline page. I did get a message from them, saying that they were under DDOS attacks, but that yesterday and here we are today and everything is STILL down.
So.. it appears that apparently they can’t get the DDOS attack under control and are just riding it out, who knows how long it will last, in the mean time, we are all suffering with down servers, websites, etc.
Not good, not good at all.
You may want to err on the side of caution when choosing HostUS.US as your host, as I have only been a customer for about 48-72 hours now.. and since signing up, I have NOT be able to use my VPS, but for a couple of hours, if that. The rest of the time, I’ve been down for technically 3 days now.
This is NOT a good way to start doing business with someone and definitely puts a bad taste in my mouth about this company and the future business and our relationship together.
I have actually already requested a refund and asked them to shut down the VPS, so I can take my business elsewhere and they have yet to respond to that request, only with something like “We are under DDOS attacks and will respond back soon..” and that was it.
Yeah, well… who knows if they are coming back or not or how long it’s going to be.
This is very disappointing. They can atleast go into their billing system on PayPal or Stripe or wherever and refund me and then offer me several free months or a free year of hosting for their screw ups with the 3 mis-assigned IPs and also the DDOS attack for which they couldn’t mitigate… I think for all the screw ups that I’ve had since signing up.. something more needs to be offered other than just 1 day free, that’s not going to cut it.
At this point… I would think twice before you signed up with HostUS.
I don’t recommend this company. The servers were down for over a week and often go down as the above comment says, due to apparent DDoS attacks. Whatever the case, it’s not worth the effort
Some bad reviews above, its not happen to me. Their server works great for me. I’ve been more than a years with Hostus and I’m happy with several servers there.
i bought this package:
Date: 17th Jul 2016
– 6GB RAM
– 6GB vSwap
– 4 vCPU Cores (Fair Use)
– 150GB Disk Space
– 5TB transfer
– 1Gbps uplink
– 1x IPv4
– 6x IPv6
– OpenVZ / Breeze Panel
– $18/quarter
– Order link
Now we are at 17th sep. 2016. i want to say; i open lots of ticket and i said “please help me because i dont know how to use vps” and they said “sorry we cant do anything”
first ticket;
i said ; please help me to transfer them to here..i mean to my vps..
they said; We do not do manual transfers.
Kind Regards,
Leo
HostUS Solutions LLC
second ticket;
i said; “Error: No access to Vesta repository” i got this error when i try install vestacp to my ubuntu vps
they said; Google is a good place to research this.
Kind Regards,
Leo
HostUS Solutions LLC
just i wanted some respect…. now i want my money back..
What did you expect? Fully managed VPS for the software you installed?
I’ve now got three of these offers…
2 x 768MB $12/annum, one in London, one in Washington DC and 1 x 6GB in London.
Havnt had an issue yet – speeds are consistently fast, the little portal they give you is useful for keeping a quick eye on things without installing any panels yourself or logging in and the rebuilds into different distros is nice and quick.
Cant beat the price if I’m honest…
$12 per year for a 1/3rd more ram than Digital Ocean at $5 a MONTH!
Will come back continually as I require more. Thanks
Hello,
I’m glad you are happy with us!
Alexander / HostUS
I am indeed, and are now using you for production public services at work also.
All without any issues.
Thanks
I’ve been using their services since march and so far so good! Had only an issue during a DDOS attack but that was a one time thing. Server speeds are really good and I/O speeds are also amazing.
Support ticket time has always been lower than 30 minutes with me, only time it took longer was during the DDOS attacks, probably due to the higher ticket rate.
Just upgraded from the 768MB RAM to the 2GB RAM, 4 Cores @ 3.5GHz and a 1Gbit link. The process was really smooth, sent in a ticket to the sales/billing department which got answered in less than 20 minutes, and in 30-40 minutes total I was already with my new upgraded service, the price? Had to pay only for the difference for the remainder days of the annual plan, pretty nice deal.
Just hope they keep up with the great work.
Hello,
I’m glad you are happy with us!
Alexander / HostUS
Hi Placed a order still saying pending Thanks
Hello,
New orders are typically activated within a few hours from ordering.
Alexander / HostUS
Waiting for activation…
Thanks, actual cost is $16 p.a. but I am very happy with the services so far. Especially the speed, even connecting from China, the speed is better than many of the other services I had before
Hello,
I’m glad you are happy with us!
Alexander / HostUS
Is it still possible to get the $12/year deal? If so, I would like to place an order… Thanks!
Hello,
The package is still available, though it is no longer being offered at $12 per year.
Alexander / HostUS
Is teamspeak completely prohibited including small private servers, or it is only about public servers?
Hello,
TeamSpeak is usually not allowed due to its risky nature. Please contact our sales team and we may be able to make an exception.
Alexander / HostUS
UK server is not 12USD but 16USD.
I have used HostUS. I can vouch for them on VPS, they are excellent service providers. I was with them for about an Year. No issues at all.
I think it is impossible to run anything on HostUs vps. After a few days your service might be suspended for all kinds of reasons!
Suspended suspended and suspended unless I run a clear install or if I keep my server shutdowned!!
Been an hour since I ordered, still showing pending.
No reply to support ticket asking how long it takes. It is the middle of the day here in the UK.
How long do they usually take?
