No link to TOS/AUP? Are we becoming slack or something?
I’ve never done that. Can you not find it yourself?
Also please note that from this point forward any comment you make using a *@lowendbox.com email address in the email field will be denied. I’ve been denying them for a while now, you just keep on. Stop :)
If you say so :)
Hey just check our sitewide footer. Tos is linked there on every page.
Can you please mark as yearly? It’s not mentioned anywhere until you click and I find that rather misleading, because ONLY /mo is in the offer text. Was interested in Storage 2 until it required a year commit, and I never like to go yearly.
Hi Dillon I’m sorry about that issue. With our processor fees storage 1 and storage 2 are both yearly. It’s only ~20 bucks for the storage 2 for an entire year, do you think we should do it differently?
you can install teamspeak 3 in this VPN?
No. I would suggest our openvz vps line for this. http://bitaccel.com/features.php#openvzVPS
You can host a TeamSpeak 3 here?
teamspeak can be installed in this vps?
No. I would suggest our openvz vps line for this. http://bitaccel.com/features.php#openvzVPS
Hi Corey,
CentOS 7 possible? OpenVPN enabled?
I’m looking forward to your answer!
Best Regards
Centos 7 is possible. Openvpn is also possible, but keep in mind these are storage servers. If you want to use these for non storage related tasks I would urge you to purchase a kvm or openvz vps product.
100M or 1G port?
This is a gigabit port
Tor relay is allowed?
Definitely not, this is a storage server not an application server.
Damn.. storage server?.. Must have missed reading that.. where can I get a refund?
Just open a ticket in our billing system and we’ll get you taken care of.
It can be used in VPS $ 9 teamspeak server?
Stay away! They said Unlimited Bandwidth but it’s not, for the 9$/y version it’s just 1TB, I mean it’s not ok for me but for someone else might be.
I hope that I will get refund, thanks
This is not true, that 1TB limit is a soft cap. Nothing is suspended when you reach 1TB, it’s simply for administration purposes. Why would you even come here and say it’s not unlimited and to stay away if you haven’t tried to utilize the bandwidth?
Ok you’re right, I’m sorry! I’m gonna try this, but anyway do you offer refund? Is it possible to use it as a VPN/proxy? Thanks and sorry for what I said
Yes we have a 7 day money back guarantee. Although, I would suggest our openvz vps line for vpn http://bitaccel.com/features.php#openvzVPS
Short Bench of the VPS i Got..
Pretty Dencent =)

i buy the vps , but when i login the cpanel ,find that return me Unlimited Bandwidth is 1TB , i don’t know why?
We already replied to your ticket regarding this and the guy above had the same question. This is a soft limit, nothing actually happens when you reach 1TB it is just for administration purposes.

I understand these, specifically Storage 2, come with root access. Is this via SSH? I am interested in using this for file sync and share. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? I know SSH/SFTP/SCP can be used, if SSH is available. Is there any option to have other software installed, such as Owncloud, Bittorrentsync, or others? Thanks for your help, just wondering what options are have available. I appreciate the listing on LEB, and the great prices offered.
buzz
Yes you can use Owncloud/Bittorrentsync and others as these are all backup oriented programs. SSH is available.
is IPv6 available for this VPS?
some tl;dr for TOS/AUP is always good to know in the offer. maybe a good idea to start this ;)
anyway, a very interresting offer. thx.
Yes ipv6 is available upon request for this vps.
can i run mongodb on the storage node? i have a lot of json documents to store
Sure, as long as you aren’t consistently disk IO heavy with your DB.
Purchased the service and installed owncloud. After 3 hours I got my account suspended and opened a ticket. Make your own conclusions.
——————————
Me:
I just received an e-mail with the following message:
Suspended: Consistent high disk IO over 80-90% using the storage server as an application server with redis/apache/cron/exim processes. This is against our terms of service.
I’m using redis for my owncloud installation as Corey Manshack stated that was allowed on: https://lowendbox.com/blog/bitaccel-openvz-128mb-ram-30gb-hd-unmetered-in-dallas/
Print attached.
If owncloud is not allowed please cancel my subscription and refund my payment.
ps** I’m the only owncloud user.
Regards,
——————————————-
Corey Manshack:
Ok so can you please tell me why your container accounted for 80-90% of the total disk IO on the server? Just running
owncloud should not cause this as I run owncloud myself and so do all of my family members.
——————————————-
Me:
I’m sorry, but you are mistaken.
Owncloud uses mysql, redis, apache and I didn’t even start to upload my files, so if it overloaded the server means it’s not configured properly.
You can take a look on the bash history or the running processes and see for yourself.
Or don’t. Let’s solve it the quick way, please cancel my subscription and refund my payment.
Thanks,
——————————————-
Corey Manshack:
There will be no refunds after the abuse on your account. You can attempt to fix the issue as I’ve unsuspended your account and stopped your container. When you are ready to fix the issue you can login to your account to start the server and monitor the activity to fix the issue. Thank you.
——————————————-
Me:
Keep the 6 bucks.
Cancel my account.
——————————————-
Corey Manshack:
Rafael we would like to keep your business, do you need help with your configuration?

I see the TOS and the Backup Service, If you don’t guarantee data won’t loss by yours problem(yours hard drive failure), how could I buy your service?
If you won’t guarantee that, so I only buy your tier 1 backup service not consider yours tier 4.
I’m sorry that you feel that way mindcat, noone on this planet can guarantee that no data will ever be lost. All we are saying there is you need to evaluate your recovery/backup plan to make sure it is right for you.
so I see Rafael’s problem, I decide to not buy.
What, his problem where he wanted to abuse the node and not fix the issue? I’d hardly say that is a reason not to buy. We offered to help him fix the issue but he didn’t want any of that.
This is the last time I’m going to lose my time with you.
You said Owncloud was allowed and it’s not. You said there was a 7 day refund guaranteed and still kept my money.
I moved to another VPS, did the same configuration and so far no problem at all. The ticket history is above, so I don’t need to say much more.
Bottom line, in my opinion if you buy this service you are asking for a headache.
Owncloud is allowed, what you were doing was obviously not ownlcoud. I even offered to help you fix your issue and you declined. You also told me to keep your money, you never asked for a refund.
I was wrong you did ask for a refund and I declined because of the abuse after rereading the ticket.
I see the TOS and the Backup Service, If you don’t guarantee data won’t loss by yours problem(yours hard drive failure), how could I buy your service?
If you won’t guarantee that, so I only buy your tier 1 backup service not consider yours tier 4.
——– repeat ———–
now that i see a few ~$10/YEAR price ranges maybe its a gud idea to add a $10year tag, for future ~10/year vps. and for easier searches
Hi, can i host wordpress website on this. I am also from Dallas, hope to get good speed.
No this is not allowed on our storage server. I would suggest an application server for this purpose.
Torrent download allowed (for personal use)?
No this is not allowed.
wether Storage 1 have swap?
No swap is included.
hello there. can i install and use openvpn server in this VPS?
You can install FMS or Red5 for live streaming?
No, this is a storage server. Not an application server. If you want to run those things I would suggest getting an application server like one of these – http://www.bitaccel.com/features.php
I’d recommend going with something else. I started my account 6 days ago, and already cancelled. I’ve had connection issues, the control panel stopped working, and given the limited use (storage ONLY with 30GB) there are better options with exponentially more flexibility out there for only a couple dollars more.
Hi Rob we have determined this was because of a degraded RAID array taxing the CPU, nothing actually stopped working, just sometimes the php scripts in the control panel would timeout due to them taking too long to execute on the destination node.
hi
is possible set rDNS from control panel directly?
and outgoing connection on port 25 are allowed / no blocked?
thanks
Outgoing connections are allowed, setting rdns from control panel directly doesn’t work at this time. You will need to open a ticket.
Sir, I planned take this:
Storage 1
Shared CPU
128MB RAM Guaranteed
30GB HDD Raid5
Unlimited Bandwidth
1x IPV4
$9/year
I just want ask, which can’t do below on that plan:
1. as VPN server so i can connect like local with my Office PC
2. HTTP Proxy server for setup in my browser.
3. VNC server so i can remote server interface via VNC viewer
4. apache2, php5, mysql so i can make upload page. <<< resource enough??
thx if you reply my question…
I regret buying storage plan. Upload and download speed less than 100kb/s.
Simply not true, must be due to your ISP’s peering/your location.
Can I instal VNC in VPS ?
From ToS:
“…SSD storage on VPS nodes are meant for fast application access. If your account is found to be storing excessive backups or using SSD storage for long term file archiving you will be invoiced for a storage container and your backups will need to be moved there…”
So basically this is storage-vps which you can not use as storage. That’s clever! :-(
Looks to me like they have two types of VPS; HDD storage (as in this offer) and SSD storage. The applicable restrictions for storage VPSes seem to be in the next paragraph of the ToS.
My reading of that section is that, essentially, you’re only able to use it for storing backups (which helps explain the ‘unlimited’ bandwidth at such a low price.)
That’s correct. These are basically for storing backups only, or running some low resource service. For example, I will suspend if you are running some kind of seeder or torrent downloader. I will not suspend if you are running a small site that doesn’t take much resources.
FAKE FAKE
Bandwidth is NOT unlimited
Bandwidth is NOT unlimited
Bandwidth is NOT unlimited
too slow support. it took two weeks to know that my VPS is suspended due to bandwidth
Bandwidth is unlimited as long as you aren’t running a non storage related service like in your case.
I took this offer and it’s been 4 days since the server is down for “disk replacement”. There is no support and no responses. Even after a few months they increased the anual price.
Yes the new motherboard has been ordered for replacement. We have responded to every ticket and have been sending notifications about the progress to the primary email on file.
*do not* buy from these guys. I bought for testing purposes a few months ago. The server went down without explanation – I caught that cause I randomly checked one day :)
I opened a ticket, they told me that “yeah.. the machine is down. Your data is lost” just like that, casually :)
I asked something along the lines “I lost the whole container, I cannot retrieve anything” ? They just confirmed it, like this is the way it works – this is just another day, no big deal – we lost all the data.
Anyway tldr: NEVER buy from these guys. EVER. It’s not worth the time. Just look for a normal VPS provider, even if you pay 3x 4x, you are getting what you paid for.
So you lost all your backups? I do not recall this specific case and I know it didn’t happen recently. You purchased a storage container not a ‘normal vps’.
i buy vps server for 1 year and they lost there HDD and lost all data. also its already passed 7 month and i can able to use only for 2 months and most of the time there vps is down. right now they told me there motherboard not working so i have to wait until they get new motherboard… so don’t buy it
It is not down hardly at all. I have the graphs right here in front of me proving the server has been online for most recently a long period of time. I am going to install the motherboard right now.
