Daniel, from BandwagonHost, is back with another a exclusive offer for the LEB community. Since their last offer, they have added two more locations: Germany and Buffalo.
Basic VPS 5G
|
Bandwagon Host is owned and operated by IT7 Networks Inc. IT7 has been in operation since 2004 and is a registered Canadian corporation. They have developed their own VPS control panel (KiwiVM) and all of their VPS node management software is also developed in-house. IT7 is also behind “Nodewatch“, a free service that many webhosting providers currently use for preventing abuse on OpenVZ nodes. Reviews on their last thread were pretty good. They even managed to pick up a few points in our last top providers poll. If you’re a customer, how is your service going?
Bandwagon Host currently only accept payments via Paypal. They offer a full 30 day full money back guarantee (no questions asked). Instant rDNS update is available in their from control panel. Additional IPv4 addresses are charged at $1 each per month. Spamming, hacking, malware, IRC, open proxies and adult content is not permitted. VPN or proxy is fine as long as they are private/password protected. For more information, take a look at their Terms of Service.

WOW，I like this price.
Better say nothing than nothing to the purpose.
What are you talking about?
Don’t say meaningless content. I think you should look at the comments.I am very unhappy.
I just said I think is right.
If you didn’t like it, you could have left.
Please tell me your QQ, I want to use Chinese to say, more accurate
Chinese guys are occupying LEB now…
Where can find Chinese people all, the locust.
All these low end deals = HostLoc chinese are coming in the thousands. Just ask anyone who uses Quadranet. Well known that ColoCrossing’s little two racks are the causes for 99% of their DoS attacks. Thanks for making Lowendbox just a little shittier. Bunch of shitty chinese spam links, same shell companies selling the same shitty ColoCrossing speed-step servers (so they can stay under the amp usage)
Please take care of your words. I’m a Chinese, I think your words offend me.
gun ni ma ge b
dhc, you know, people get offended by everything these days, but most of all – the truth. this is the reason i have blocked all chinanet and related regions on all my servers, since 99% vulnerability scans and zero-day attacks originated from there. now go on, be offended, you have only your own countrymen to thank for it.
Awesome hoster! It was my first LowEndBox. Quite happy with it :)
btw is TOR (middle relay) allowed?
Really need to fix titles and posts, New York, NY != Buffalo, NY
Cheers. Knew’ I had forgot to check something..
please increasing disk space
becouse when installed centos+kloxo and other will be full not enough
Yeah,
5GB is a bit low. But it’s 10$ a YEAR and with 512MB + 512MB Swap. That’s just awesome.
Kloxo+CentOS should be fine with 5 gb space ? I remember that it takes about 2.5 GB without the one-click installer. You also need about 1 GB for the OS.
You actually get 6 GB. They might have thought about the disk space for the OS. My Ubuntu 12.04 installation takes ~700 MB.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 6.0G 702M 5.4G 12% /
Lucky one!
I got my 5GB :)
root@s1:~# df -h

Debian uses even less. Ideally, this package should use Debian/Ubuntu and nginx. I’m confused as to why anyone would even consider CentOS. Keep in mind though that in most cases Debian won’t have an SSH server installed by default so you may need to use the serial console to install one. I’d recommend dropbear as it is light on resources.
Actually every openvz debian template installs ssh service. Does cpanel support centos? I don’t think it does.
cPanel ONLY supports centos. It doesn’t work on any other OS.
Agreed.
5 GB or 6 GB, it would be alot better if it was 10GB or so.
We do not tolerate the following activities on our servers:
(…)
DoS or other attacks (either outgoing or incoming)
(…)
Please note that some issues (for example, DoS attacks or spamming) may not allow time for contact – in these cases we will suspend the service right away.
We reserve the right to terminate services without providing a reason. In this case we will provide the refund for the prepaid unused service.
So that means that you should search for a different host when you’re victim of a (D)DoS or Slashdot-effect. That’s very strange imo.
LowEndCriticus, I know that these terms sounds confusing, but this is more or less the standard practice in case of a DDoS attack (I’m not trying to defend them).
I think this sounds strange. They could at lease pretend to be supportive like “We will warn you one time and then cancel your services in case it happens again.” Without a basic level of support (i don’t mean how to install software, i mean really the important stuff) this offer is rather useless for me :(
I thought standard practice was turn off the target (or rather null-route them) until the attack ends then turn them back on. Something that you have zero control over being in the ToS doesn’t make any sense at all.
We cannot automate the handling of DoS, hence it is very expensive to us to deal with these attacks. Sorry, but on a $10/year plan there is no other way. On the other hand, we are trying to be upfront about it.
After you’ve had tons of attacks from chinese acting clueless, you have to kick the idiots off. ‘oh, i suspend website’ – They’re all liars.
this is one of the best vps I ever had, good configuration.
Holy Molly! Now that’s an unbeatable offer. At this rate, how can you make a profit!!?
Their normal price is $3.98/m
In fact, I also have this doubt, such a low price is really not to make a profit!
5GB disk isn’t enough to do anything with. If they let you upgrade to at least 20 for another $5 that would make this good. Disk is cheaper than RAM.
Have you looked at Edis.
They offer 1GB – 2GB Diskspace for their lowest plan.
It’s a low end box. You can easily run a score of WordPress sites. Or a nameserver, which is what I’m gonna do with them.
It’s possible to get Debian well under 500 MB of diskspace. 4.5 GB is more than enough to run a few websites / a DNS server / a VPN / a Munin master / etc.
Yes, generic disks are cheaper than RAM, but we do not use generic (we would have saturated I/O pretty quickly). For mode disk space you could go straight to http://bandwagonhost.com/ and order a great 10G or an awesome 50G plan! :)
It appears that this code is valid for all three configurations (5G, 10G and 50G)! Can you confirm that this isn’t an abuse, and you won’t cancel/reverse payment if I add the 50G and use this coupon?
Do not worry, we won’t cancel. The code is supposed to work with all plans.
Got one today, (instant setup – nice) installed Debian 7 64bit (unfortunately no minimal-template available) and use the box as a teamspeak server. I had some trouble with my former host regarding reliability and uptime, so I chose to switch. Atm using 0,85GB of my diskspace. That leaves still more than 4 GB free.
So much for “isn’t enough to do anything with”. Depends on your desired purpose for the box.
It’s $1.99 per month folks, were you expecting 50GB instead?
i like the price and 30 day full money back guarantee.
is the 30 day money back applied for 1 month subscription?
Yes, 30-day money back policy applies to everything.
Highly interested but my order was marked as fraud.
Any specific reason why this happens?
Thx

You’ve got a better CPU than mine, must be in different node.
May I ask what your VPS node
The CPU is idle so it lowers the frequency (“stepping” in the /proc/cpuinfo listing) to save power.
That’s not at all what CPU “stepping” is.
Sorry, my bad. I assumed it since it perfectly correlated with the current frequency in my case.
This is what happens with arbitrary limits on ColoCrossing machines. How else do they keep their amp usage under? Not speed step, arbitrary CPU limiting.
I consider this a very cheap VPS, I’ll buy it!
When accessing it from the Asian network is very fast. I really like!
Which location?
US West Coast – Arizona！
Any server bear benchmarks?
Here you go:
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/08/08/HSRsqnXLtUGTxamZ – Buffalo
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/08/08/IpKxtrvr1vJezYK4 – Phoenix
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/08/10/AlgfM8m7yfg3hvVH – Germany
Pretty shitty stats to me (especially if compared to US servers benchmarks).
I wouldn’t call them shitty (btw I got better DD values). But you are right, the german benchmarks aren’t as good as the US ones. But you have to metion that in the US the hardware, colocatione etc. is cheaper. Anyway, I always read that.
Mind telling your dd value? I was thinking of getting one from Germany but if the dd test is low then I’ll pass
dd test is in the bench (IO tab). Forgot to mention that it was a fresh install.
My result was around 220MB/s
@trexos, please post your serverbear here.
I used dd:
root@s1:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 5.41422 s, 198 MB/s
But I just used the same command on my other Bandwagonhost VPS and I only get 101MB/s :(
dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
12.7925 s, 83.9 MB/s
Yeah, a freaking lottery. Will create a ticket to be moved to a normal node…
TBH 83MB/s for this price is still ok. can you make a traceroute and say at which node you are?
Mine is v43.sioru.com
What’s yours (198mbps one)?
Mmm… you think 83mbps is ok? Care to switch? :D
the one with 198: v42.sioru.com the one with 101 v43.sioru.com.
As I am on the same node I wouldn’t switch. it’s 10$ a year and 89MB/s isn’t bad. I would stay, but it’s up to you :)
Could someone run this and post the results?

So where’s this mysterious Daniel, and why isnt he participating in the thread?
I’m here :)
Hi, im here too :)
Just notice: half of Internet detect their IP’s in Arizona and Buffalo as canadian, so no hulu.com, no abc.com and others if you buy their “USA” VPS.
This means those specific websites are rather slow on updating their geoip databases (assuming they use GeoIP to detect visitor’s location). This was corrected a couple of months ago, but looks like some guys are slower than the other.
Wow! Great deal.
good memory but few disk
For mode disk space you could go straight to http://bandwagonhost.com/ and order a great 10G or an awesome 50G plan! :)
This is the same company as vpsblast.
So the question is why do they need 2 different companies to do the same thing?
At our VPS Blast service we offer more flexibility (more plans), and better hardware (better CPUs, SSD drives).
I like these guys. They’re legit, unique, and evidence points to being hard workers. I’ll buy another :)
Thanks Jarland. Feedback like this helps keep motivation up :)
It’s a very good deal! I’ve got my one just now…
just have bought my second one!

Which script did you use? Looks nice.
Can you sell HDD upgrades?
I’ve noticed that the ‘LEB’ code works of the other plans, but it’s not the same sort of value. EG
VPS10G is double the price ($20pa) and comes with:
– More HDD (10 vs 5)
– Same RAM (512 vs 512)
– Lower vSwap (256 vs 512)
– Lower Bandwidth (200 vs 500)
– Same CPU (1 vs 1)
This is all we can offer for now… We do not sell upgrades as this is not something we could automate (yet).
Automatic upgrade? If I need more disk space, how do I operate?
You can upgrade to a bigger plan available at http://bandwagonhost.com/ and you can do it at any moment. However, we do not offer per-resource upgrades.
I was a customer of Bandwagon before they throttled my cpu.
They said I abused they resource.
That was interesting !!!
I have purchased 4 VPSs from different providers so far, and Bandwagon is the only one who thinks I am abusing.
I think I will never come back to them even though their price is low.
Is it true? Please send relevant information, so that we know what constitutes abuse of CPU!
the spec was :
128MB/5GB Disk/9.99$ yearly
and they provided 30 days money back
I ran centos+tiger vnc+xfce+wine+one or two windows gui application
cpu usage may reach about 15% sometimes, but not all the time
the vps ran quite ok at the beginning, but finally I requested my money back within the month as I realized that the vps ran slower and slower.
They gave my money back and said they have no choice but to throttle my cpu to prevent cpu abuse.
I’d be very interested in seeing how you could pull off windows applications under wine on a vps that advertises a single shared core in a way that didn’t qualify as abuse. Licensing cost isn’t the only reason you see few budget windows hosts. People who demand windows at low cost or refuse Linux solutions are notorious for beating shared resources to death.
I think @Abdullah has been made to explain for you!
really interesting how could you do this in a 128M VPS! impressive!
Excellent. Good reason to stay with them, as I know abusers will be kicked out.
it depends on how to define abuse
It is exactly what you defined above – running “centos+tiger vnc+xfce+wine+one or two windows gui application” on a $9.99 per year VPS. That is a perfect definition of abuse.
I agree with @Abdullah explanation!
@Abdullah Cant agree more…
I would like to repeat my reply is indeed, but how do you not agree more ddf it?
Grabbed an Arizona VPS and am quite surprised. Good performance, I/O, and network speeds.
Be warned that when you register for an account, they send you your password in plain text.
Like most providers do. That’s why I use something like “initial” as initial password and change it right at first login.
How long does this offer last?
This will last till August 18, however, looks like we may hit out of stock much earlier than that. We have plenty of new servers @ our Arizona colo, however, New York and Germany are almost sold out. We will try our best to deploy more servers during the weekend, but no guarantees.
How do I know which node I’m on?
Where in Kiwi indicate the node name?
You can do a traceroute . You will see the name of the node right before your VPS.
v32.sioru.com, does that mean I’m on node v32?
Correct, that would be node v32.
nice server ^_^ nice offer also
Ugh. I just realized after I placed the order that the spec on their site listed 3G as opposed to 5G as mentioned above. WTF is up. Why do the bait-n-switch?
Moderator, please remove the above comment. I just validated the spec on the box. I guess I was just a bit confused.
We did not change anything on our website… The plan listed here is LEB exclusive.
The DC in Germany seems to be in Nürnberg btw.
Yeah @Core Backbone :)
Why no IRC? I would just be using it for WeeChat on freenode, Undernet, and Wikimedia IRC… No botnets or DCCing or anything like that.
Hi dan,
I already I have a vps in bandwagonhost
I can access this offer?
Why I can not get more than one additional IP address?
If VPS take for 1 year, but additional IP address only for a month
You can place more orders for additional IPs once your VPS is provisioned, no problem here at all.
Shoot us a ticket if you want to change billing cycle.
Why no IRC?
I’d like to know which data center do you use for the Phoenix location? PhoenixNAP?
You’re right, it is PhoenixNAP.
Is 74.121.150.3 located in San Mateo? How can I get that IP range @Dan?
74.121.150.3 is located in Buffalo NY, so you would have to order a NY VPS. We have already submitted a correction request to Maxmind, they usually update their database on Tuesdays.
I signed up for Bandwagon today and, so far, the experience has been ideal. The VPS was set up immediately, the e-mails I was sent were helpful, the price is dirt cheap. The server appears to be responsive and comes with Apache and OpenSSH enabled. Server defaults to CentOS 6 (industry standard) but there are lots of other server types, like Debian and Ubuntu from which to choose. I found I had 6GB of disk space (minus about 300MB for the OS). Really happy with what I have seen so far.
How do I choose the server in Germany?
I only Arizona and New York !
Since EU is not currently available can I have it migrated later?
Guys,
We have no more room at our German location, we had much more sales than we expected (which is a good thing, in a way). We will be adding more nodes, however, right now I don’t have an ETA for you.
It is possible to migrate later, however, right now it will involve a full data loss on your VPS. In the future we will make it possible to switch location from the control panel without data loss.
looks pretty nice, so let’s sum up:
– if the VPS’ of orders now placed can be migrated to another location later, that’s fine.
– if i want additional IPs as soon as the VPS is migrated which also should be paid annually, according to an earlier post here that has to be done via ticket, but according to your faq only 1 ip is allowed: http://bandwagonhost.com/knowledgebase/7/Can-I-order-additional-IP-addresses.html
so i have to ask, can both of this be guaranteed?
two more questions:
– is there a max amount of VPS per customer?
– is there some kind of rescue console available if configuration is somehow screwed up?
Sorry, that was outdated information, we have fixed that. Thanks for the heads up.
You can order as many as you like :)
Yes, there’s web shell available, plus support tickets work for that kind of stuff too.
Here’s another one interested in your German location. I’m just late. :\
+1 :-)
or (if satisfied) +3 :-)))
+2 for Germany when available.
I can see the Arizona Location Bandwidth Carrier is Hurricane Electric and Buffalo Location is co-located with Server Mania (B2 Net Solution) via Colocrossing ! Is it ??
Yes, Buffalo/NY is ColoCrossing and Phoenix/AZ is HE. You can check it via traceroute to test IPs.
No germany location on the site :(((
same here.. hope their will be re-stock in short time
I’ve bought three, I feel pretty good.
I tried many LEB’s before but nothing have been as good as this one. Incredible service for incredible price.
+1 for the Germany location.
Really nice offer… :)
Are you planning to add anymore payment methods?
Sorry, this is not something we are looking into currently.
Folks,
I feel kind of odd saying this, but we are currently out of stock at ALL our locations. Couple of days ago we have packed our EU location, and it was looking like NY will be next. Well, yesterday we have sold out all our NY VPS’. Interestingly enough, this caused an explosion of orders for our AZ location, where we had lots of space…. So we have only lasted for several hours there too.
We just did not expect this promo to have such an effect. I guess we will re-consider how we do things for our next promo. Stay tuned! :)
One more for the Germany location when they are back in stock.
I want a refund, your germany IP shows up as Canadian.
Process my refund please!
if you don’t want it, let me have it.
This is because the website you use to verify this uses an outdated GeoIP database. Try this instead:
http://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip_demo
Give me instead :p
To process a refund please shoot us a ticket.
If he did refund, drop me an email at wcypierre@gmail.com :)
no restock?
They claimed they ran out of space, will take 2-3 for new server, however they said the LEB offer is “essentially over”. Guess that means no restock.
I ordered one of each Location one month ago. Pretty rock stable since then. Awesome for this los price. Also support answered pretty quick today for a question I had.
Does not seem Germany datacenter option is available anymore.
I’ve had my VPS for a month. Everything went down a few hours after I signed up, which was a rather ominous sign, but I must say that since then everything has been very good. Total uptime is 99.94% since I signed up and 100% in the past 30 days. I haven’t really stress-tested it, but the performance seems pretty decent. I’m very satisfied so far.
Had it for 3 months now and I gotta say, this was the most wonderful experience! When the hype was over, performance and stability was very good. Kiwi is a bliss, I gotta say! They have recently upgraded it, and now it’s all-you-ever-wanted kind of thing.
On top of that – you just CAN’T BEAT this price in EU! You just can’t…
What was purchased just out of curiosity – ended up a magnificent find!
Thank you BandWagon Host! :)
P.S. What is the best “watchdog” type of app to use with this host on my android? Would be great to have it not only ping the server, but be able to monitor resources, reboot/shutdown, send a command to ssh.
I must say that this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The IO is superb, support is good and most of all there’s no downtime for a single time in last couple of months. Something so nice at this price range is just unbelievable!
Thank you guys!
This has got to be my favorite host. I’ve paid them less than I did BlueVM, yet their service, reliability and responsiveness is 10 times better.
Easily worth 10 times the cost here. Never had any downtime yet.
will it be back in Stock??
this company rogue. my vps closed.
Anyone experiencing “Due to high CPU usage, server’s CPU clock is currently being limited.” on mostly idling servers? I do now. No explanation, or, rather, total ignore from the tech support. “Limited CPU” VPS is totally unresponsive, btw. 100% idling CPU – and webmin home page opens in 30+ secs.
This message in Kiwi (below the on I mentioned) could explain this behavior, though:
“If your application requires more CPU time, we suggest upgrading to a better plan. Please contact helpdesk for instructions on how to upgrade your server.
Upgrades are performed seamlessly without data loss and without downtime.”
I got the answer to my prayers and the limitation was lifted in about 4 hours. Tech support apologized and informed me that it could be some kind of OpenVZ kernel bug. Be vigilant, guys :)
