Keith from HostKana just sent this offer over and I’m happy to share it with you all. This is the first time that we’re posting them, but they seem to have a few great deals that they’re willing to make LowEndBox exclusive, so we’ve decided to pass them along. Let us know what you think once you’ve had some time to test them out.
Their WHOIS is public and they are a registered company in the USA (#2016-000737015) and you can find their ToS here and the AUP here.
They accept PayPal, 2Co, Stripe, and Bitcoin.

What happened to the $7/mo limit?
2/3 of the offers are below the limit, so this still qualifies. The last (more expensive) package is there just as an option to go bigger, if desired. Plenty of past offers on LEB follow this same principle.
But I do agree that the title of the offer should reflect one of the packages that are below the monthly cap.
I am interested in the big kana, how much would be the actual billing price per year, has any control panel,
Regards,
The Big Kana is billed at $100 a year and it comes with ControlPanel to start, stop, create and destroy VPS but not CPanel, which you can either install yourself or purchase from HostKana for $15 a month.
I think it’s $10/mo now.
I mean, is there a “reasonablypricedbox”?
Can you mount a custom ISO file?(windows desktop OS)
Hi Jaewon,
Yes you can mount a custom ISO file.
Thanks for the question!
Any panel?solusvm?
Hi,
Yes, however, SolusVM is our backend– but it can be provided upon request.
Have a great day!
Very tempted, shame no 3 month discount on The Big Kana
Here’s a benchmark of The Big Kana… fairly worse than my $6 from an alternative host, hmmm…
http://pastebin.com/i0188BRf
alternative specs just for comparison
http://pastebin.com/Tu5cqjFQ
Well, to be fair, their services are around 3 times expensive than HostKana’s..
The one I have is $6 from Low End Box….. how’s that 3x more then there $10 package?
smir who do you have for $6? whats the hosting company?
oh nevermind i see it now
TL;DR canceled the other day, doubt they’ll get a refund.
claim made via paypal, no response what so ever from hostkana, shocking company. Got my money back today.
Try to order the The Big Kana here at LEB and sends me to standard plan. Your site says 7 big kana left in the “LowEndBox – VPS Pool Hosting” section, that links also sends me to standard plan?
Ordered at 6am CST this morning and still no service… Finally got setup but no pool is working, cannot get IP to respond. I hope and pray this is only a fluke.
Had to give up and cancel services.
Still trying to get money back…
Only fair to report that I did get refund today. Took two tries but they did refund…
Windows is available to install? If so which? And if i buy the big kana resource pool, i can create more then 1 vps with my purchased resources?
Worst of the worst services, I purchased the The Big Kana server from them 5 hours back.
None of the resource pool, I created works, it seems that a novice with no idea about hosting, cloud and resource pool has started a hosting company. No technical knowledge.
No feedback and response in last 5 hours. Do not recommend them at all.
I am going to dispute my money with paypal, I paid them for the entire year and if they do not resolve the issue, I will dispute my money with paypal today itself.
Regards
i’ve ordered one about 6hrs ago, and it’s still ‘pending’…
I am looking for linux based VPS with free cPanel.
Does this Big Kana plan come with cPanel kind of easy interface and manage websites?
Please help me.
get a vm running an install webmin or vestacp or ispconfig or any other free web manager of your choice!
i do not recommend it, the service is bad, i create a server but i cannot connect to it neither using ssh or vnc, do not buy it, if only there was a way to get a refund
Yes, and also they will not give you 5 IP Addresses just one only .
5.7.1 During the first fourteen days of service you are entitled to a full, no questions asked refund excluding as set forth in sections 5.7, 5.7.2, 5.7.3, and 12.5; as well as exclusions listed in section 2 above. For the remaining time your refund will be prorated and factored at the full discretion of HostKana.
Part of their ToS. I’m gonna request a refund…
Thanks all for the feedback. I did not like the fact that the owners of the provider did not refute even a single claim. There is only one Lowend provider who has successfully done the virtualization. I am not sure if I am allowed to mention in a post on another providers.
There is one provider who gives it and they are very responsive.
When I wanted more resources, they migrated me to the higher plan without any down time. I can assign any resource to any of my VMs and it is dynamically (no downtime).
The mentioned features are all possible, but I guess you need to have a mature provider.
is this still available??

I signed up with HostKana for their Big Kana plan. It took several hours after payment for them to activate my services. They have to manually provision the IP address once you create your VM. The first VM took a few hours for them to respond. The second VM has taken them a few days with only a “transferring to support department” even though the ticket was already in support. They have been nice and the VM seem stable but with a resource pool I should be able to create/drop VMs as needed and not have to wait several days for an IP address to get assigned.
I have put in a cancellation and refund request.
Had high hopes for these tried them out with the big kana and all went well for about 6 hours then i lost the ability to boot or reinstall vp’s in the cluster i submitted a ticket and got a explanation and found they had apparently resolved the issue, went to build another vps and again the same problem in the end i decided i was wasting way to much time and requested a refund, after 4 days still no refund it took the threat of opening a paypal dispute to have them return the funds.
Shame but lesson learnt
Great service! Thanks HostKana.
I say this for they give-me support, my server is 4 days offline and other, was slow (5GB RAM), too/same in clean Centos 7.
Not recommended!
They offer poor service and even more poor support. Lost 2 times the connection in 1 week, and after raising a support ticket waiting for ages for a response.
On their website they claim average response time of 23 minutes???…which is just a lie.
I cancelled the service, there is better value for money outthere.
Going on month #2 and my VPS is down again. Sent a ticket in over 5 hours ago and still no response. Their WHMCS panel cant even connect to the node. I think I’ll be cancelling soon.
Well, after 48 hours of “We’re trying to figure out why our node is down” replies, I cancelled and requested a refund since I havent had any service since my last payment. We’ll see how that goes. This company is a fast sinking ship.
5 days later and still no reply on a refund. I suggest anyone else that didnt get what you paid for, put in a dispute with PayPal.
horrible support, down for + 1 week now and nothing more than “we are looking into it” – generic canned response.
DO NOT GET
@Matt Zelasko can this offer be canned as its evident there is a huge issue (myself experienced this plus a multitude of others) and will continue to catch others out while the link backs are available
Never to try them. BAD service.
