Daved @ Lightwave Networking emailed me about their latest offer on WHT, as they are now providing both OpenVZ and Xen PV accounts via SolusVM. Same spec and same price — $7/month.
- 256MB memory
- 20GB storage
- 150GB/month data transfer
- Xen/SolusVM
The servers are in San Jose and they use HE.net which has good support for IPv6. I guess what’s coming up for them would be either Xen HVM or KVM hosting — both are probably providing the same thing that allows you to run native OS in a VM. Looks like it has pretty good network set up with HE, Savvis and Level3.

I can’t find any reviews about them on the internet.
in fact, for asia customers, it crossing the Bad LEVEL3, not HE
http://www.pagedns.com/vps/Lightwave/
It could be noted that the bandwidth allotment mentioned is out of date.
The $7/mo plans currently allow 400GB/mo of transfer.
Wanted to mention, inbound routing no longer primarily uses Level3 or Savvis as many customers from China mentioned poor performance.
Primary inbound routing will come in via HE.Net or Bandcon.
you’re wrong, level3 is better than egi/HE
I wouldn’t touch level3 if they paid me to use their connection. They’ve been too spammer friendly for too many years. Too many other techs and hosts complain about their NCC being a /dev/null too.
No thank you.
now HE become worse and worse. infact, LEVEL3 in sanjose very good for east asia, ….I don’t know why don’t you change it back….
Anybody knows what happens with Lightwave?
The website (in http) redirects to https, gives an invalid cert and then shows an empty directory index, no website anymore
Everything seems fine to me.
The http -> https redirection is intended.
I don’t see any certificate errors, and everything else seems normal to me.
I get this with both IE6/7 and Opera 9

Maybe a DNS update in progress ?

Sites seem to load just fine here ..
Don’t think it’s a DNS thing.
Via my own DNS sever, and via the Google public (8.8.8.8) and via ns1.lightwave.net I get the same IP for http://www.lightwave.net being 216.83.36.99
Hey guys, any review about this host?
I just got one of these $7 Xen VPSs from Lightwave this week, and I’ve been using it with openvpn. Ping time to where I am in the Philippines is about 175ms and I’m getting routed through he.net. I notice outgoing connections to other sites get routed through both he.net and Bandcon.
So far so good. I want something really reliable and consistent that I can depend on for personal vpn use, and he.net routing seems to be the best to my location.
