Today I’d like to introduce you to AboveClouds, a new offering brought to us by a long time community member at LowEndTalk by the name of Jacob. AboveClouds is a registered business in the UK with registration number 09779287. The reason I’m a little excited to post this is because this is a new entry in LEB as a cloud service. That basically means easy scaling, hourly billing, and self service provisioning. Just for you guys, Jacob adjusted the minimum deposit required to £2.50 ($3.73 USD).
Much like other cloud offerings, your payment is a deposit into your account and you can then use it as you see fit. Because of the nature of this kind of setup, there is not a direct order link for each package. You sign up, make a deposit, and then create the server that fits your needs. I realize that isn’t traditional here, but I didn’t see this as a solid reason to hold back this offer from you. So let’s jump into this:

Hey,
Thanks for the listing.
Any questions at all, please do let me know :)
Something different, good luck :)
Hmm OpenVZ billed per hour? :O
Lucas,
Yep.. what could be any better than that! :)
Do they allow IRC on their vps
@Felix,
IRC is allowed as long as you don’t attract unwanted attention :)
Best regards,
Jacob.
Do you have API to create/destroy vps?
Hey Lucky,
There is an API to manage your VPS (Stop/Start/Restart), create/destroy/reinstall functions haven’t been added into the API yet.. this should be done within the next week.
We’re constantly adding new features to the control panel, but unfortunately developing and testing features is awfully time consuming.
Regards,
Jacob.
Do you have an docs for that API yet?
I just spun up an instant – really impressed by the way
Reselling from other vps providers for some time now and trying
out Jacob’s offer for a few days makes me very happy.
Deposit some money, deploy an instance and whoosh it’s there.
Network does almost the whole gigabit, stress-ng test plays
nice and bonnie++ is a ++11!
For now and for me Jacob offers the best value for money.
Hey @Clunk,
I’m glad you’re happy, value for money, along with awesome support is what we aim for.
Hi Jacob, Are the instance IPV4 addresses dynamic or can static addresses be reserved? By the way your looking glass link doesn’t appear to be working.
Cheers.
Hey,
IPs can be dynamic or static, entirely up to you – Both are available at no additional cost.
First additional IPV4 is free, anything after the first additional IPV4 is £0.002 / hour.
Looks like Jacob is no Jacob or has Chinese worker drones
configuring his vps’s. And no this is not a disgruntled
customer. I just stumbled upon some strange artifacts on
one of his vps’s pointing to ssh keys imported from a
Chinese server while installing.
Hey,
This is definitely not intended, feel free to drop a ticket.
very nice website, just joined up
update: runs really well, with in 20 mins i had all my software running, you do have to open the ports you need but thats a good thing, great prices :)
Hey Laura,
Thankyou for the feedback, it is always appreciated! :)
I’m also glad to hear you’re happy with our platform, if you need anything at all just drop us an email.
Regards,
Jacob.

Hey Michael,
I appreciate the kind comments!
Feedback is always appreciated, good or bad. :)
Best regards,
Jacob.
Hey Jacob,
Is the coupon code applicable for other packages as well? For example The Advanced Cloud or The Demanding Cloud?
Hi Kumar,
The coupon is valid for any package.
Let me know if you need anything further.

Jacob.

Don’t get to a point where you need to reload your account. Several emails a day and it never EVER stops!!! Crazy and I ahev shut my server purely because of this. No ammount emails to Tech stopped it either.
