      Like your company’s publicly known names (DBAs) can be China Host, Fast-Fix, LowBlow Host, but the legal name on documents might be something like Pig Technology Corporation.

  2. DBA is Doing Business As according to sba.gov like CNAME for your LLC

  3. The price is good, but the SSD is too small, could you give more disk space as the same price?

        I think he referred to the title, it says $3.09 while the offer is $3.39.

  5. It’s kind of strange to see “vSwap” and “Xen PV” mentioned together.

    • I think it refers to swap. Possibly a typo. Having vSwap via SSD would definitely be strange.

    Just placed an order. 6 GB sounds like not much, but it should be enough for my needs.

  7. I’ve just ordered the 512. The first time I tried, I got a 400-bad request from nginx. So I broke it down into smaller tasks – registered for the client area, then checked out the cart. I’m not sure which step threw a wobbly the first time, but I got there second time around.

    Looking forward to seeing how it performs…

    • Initial impression: Price is very good for a Xen PV setup. Everything certainly works as it should.

      Time from payment to setup: 7 hours, 39 minutes.

      Performance: Not the fastest VPS I’ve ever used, but not the slowest either. It’s mid-range. I realise this is not a full benchmark but a subjective take: By “not the fastest”, compiling PHP from source would usually have configure and make as the slow stages, with “make install” very quick. “make install” took long enough to be worth doing something else and coming back. By “not the slowest”, I’ve never had any problems transferring a site onto the VPS and working with it – it’s never frustrating because it’s slow. Whereas I’ve had other VPS from other providers that have been maddeningly slow at times.

      # 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, 14.9415 s, 71.9 MB/s

      I’ve had to open one ticket, because I couldn’t find how to set PTR in their panel. That ticket’s been open 57 hours and counting. So probably best to keep as a provider where little ongoing support will be needed.

      The overall impression would still be that I’m very happy with what I’ve got for the price I paid.

      The VPS I got seems to be in the Netherlands. The Test IP given is, however in Tampa FL. With the purpose for which I am using this VPS, this makes no difference at all, but I thought it worth reporting back in case location is a critical issue for others.

      • From that traceroute, the ip you are pinging is in Florida and you’re in NL. Have you got confused?

        July 7, 2013 @ 10:04 pm | Reply
        • Sorry – I should have explained.

          I was logged into the VPS I had with Bitronic using this offer. I was pinging the test IP in the post.
