BlueVM has posted a $1.50/month Double Ram, Double Storage, Double Bandwidth offer on their VPS 1 plan for LowEndBox readers! And if that wasn’t enough to make you bite, they’re throwing on top of the Double, Double, Double increase an additional 25% off your first month.
LowEndBox Readers Offer
- 1 CPU Core Access @ 2.33Ghz
- 128MB of Guaranteed Ram
- 192MB of Burstable Ram
- 20gb of Storage
- 500gb of Bandwidth
- 1 IPv4 Address
- $1.50/month Plus 25% off the first month!
- Direct Signup Link (Promo Code: = $1.13)
Now for the factoids, BlueVM.Com was registered in May 2011 and is managed by a two-man team consisting of Justin and Arsene. Their nodes are currently located in Pennsylvania USA (Test IP: 199.19.106.155) and they are looking to expand to the West Coast over the next month. Being their first listing on LowEndBox it would be great to see some network benchmarks out of PA. As always with a new provider, exercise some caution on signup and keep to month by month payments until they’ve built a solid reputation.

Promo code?
Either my eyesight is gone, or there’s a parallel reality as I’m sure the 25% first month promo worked when we first tested it two days ago when the offer came through.
The double deal still remains though, so if you can afford to spend $0.37c extra on the first month then signup.
I have sent an email to BlueVM to check their signup in case they need to re-enable the promo code for the 25% off.
yeah i was also tried to find promo code but failed
it doesn’t matter..
Order a Vps, Got in a second good but i didn’t get additional ips and extra ram which i have ordered…
Submit a ticket????
Surely that isn’t automatically deployed
Ticket ID: 313720
Looks to be Instant Setup. They may need to assign the additional Ram and IPs manually.

Ticket Replied but they are out of stock now as they mentioned in ticket..
Are they reseller of volumedrive?
http://ping.eu/ns-whois/ on this url type this ip 199.19.106.131..
You can see that this ip assign to volumedrive..
They use volumedrive servers, I think you are expecting every provider to have his own ip space?
is this good?
Try to use FlyCache’s 100mb test; we’re all familiar with that one much more.

That’s a reasonable speed; better than the 500kb/s posted before, haha. =D
The provided test IP goes to Volumedrive’s facility in Jacksonville, Florida.
Are they hosted there or at the original Volumedrive location as the post would suggest.
Hi joe
they are hosted there..http://ping.eu/ns-whois/
use this ip 199.19.106.172 in the above url.
There is no instant setup, at least for me.
I just ordered an account. Oddly enough, the welcome email contains the subject line, “New Dedicated Server Information”. However, it looks like I didn’t receive a IP Address yet: “Main IP Address: xxxxxxxx”
Typical finger fudge on SolusVM
They should have clicked “New Virtual Server Information”
We are currently out of IP addresses. We had over 100 sales in the last 4 hours. We have suspended stock until we can meet IP demand. If you signed up, but do not have an IP that you paid for (or one in general) open a ticket and we’ll get you an ip within 24 hours.
Weren’t you supposed to release a new special yesterday?
We already made it: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/62000
Also you made a mistake on our promo code its: LEBPROMO not $1.13 :) $1.13 is the total :)
why didn’t you mention promocode on LEB?
Out of stock already :D
Yeah not bad, I picked up two. Here’s the stats (after an ubuntu rebuild)

Pulling off my own server was a bit dicey (hosted with VD). One was pulling 10meg the other <1meg.. Then both ended up around 1meg/sec… Could be VD throttling though
Side note: was instant setup
Still waiting on my setup :(
Ordered more then 5 hours ago
Just an update, this offer is actually provisioned in Jacksonville Florida and not in Pennsylvania.
I think this is a good thing though!
You are right
i fount it ..
@The Hatta – If you opened a ticket we’ve responded with this: If your VPS isn’t setup within 12 hours of our reply we will credit your VPS for 2 days. You shouldn’t have to wait longer than 24 hours.
We apologize for the delay, but 100 VPS is way more than we expected to sell with this offer. Rather than overextend ourselves we’ve capped our stock out. We have a total of 9 VPS without IPs at the moment, so we should get that resolved shortly. Once we’re able to we’ll reopen sales.
Got additional ip and ram but vps is working very slow..
hypervm is working very slow …
Feel free to try against my two:

http://199.19.106.133/linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-64bit.iso
great offer, i though i already miss chance to try this one.
More stock pls ;p
They are out of stock …
@Yomero
OK…
wow..
out of stock already..
We should have stock on the west coast tomorrow or Sunday. We’re trying to get more IP space at our east coast site. Currently we have just enough IPs for our clients. We will be offering this deal as we have stock.
So stock will be available on Sunday? Be back tomorrow then.
Grrr out of stock!
Is pptp VPN working on yourt nodes?
I’ve had a 64/128 MB from BlueVM for 11 days 15 hours 46 minutes, and it’s worked a treat. Completely satisfied. Congrats to Justin and Arsene, hope you live long and prosper :)
Are these in Pennsylvania like the post says or are these in Florida like all of the above posted IPs routes too?
So far so good. I was one of the customers effected by the lack of IP addresses, but it seems they were overwhelmed yesterday for some reason :D
Anyone complaining about speed and such should probably try again. I imagine provisioning a hundred or so VPS’s in the same 12 hour period may have slowed things down a bit.
My issue with the IP was taken care of promptly and they offered compensation and an apology for time it took to provision the rest of my VPS. Communication was great after the initial rush.
And a speed test (I’m on a 10mbit port, haven’t upgraded, I don’t need it):
@idontwatchtv – 100 MBps is roughly 12.5 MB/s so your actually on a 100 mbps port.
@Christian – PTPPD does work on our nodes, you simply have to request it via ticket.
@sleddog – Glad you enjoy our service :)
@Kuro – Our servers are located at:
1143 Northern Blvd
Clarks Summit, PA 18411 USA
@Andri – Just as soon as our new box is ready we’ll have stock again.
@ Ticket ID: 313720
thanks for your answer..
199.19.106.* (and the entire 199.19.104.0/21 netblock) is at Volumedrive in Jacksonville, FL despite what the original poster and BlueVM says. Sorry.
Maybe VD lies to him :|
after 30 comments you know this i m amazed
restock please… :)
Waiting for restock hehe :)
Waiting for restock! :)
restock, when ?
Also waiting for restock :)
Well it’s VolumeDrive, so it could be 24 hours or two months :)
what is volumedrive ? its company name http://volumedrive.com/ ? or some tech ?
Yes that one
So no restock today?
We’re working with multiple DCs, not just VD. We have servers in setup & optimization right now.
May I know when you are in stock again to offer an annual subscription?
Waiting for restock now, looking for mx failover.

i m unable to work on vps due to no internet connection and i have submitted ticket for name resolution
but problem isn’t resolved yet …
why don’t you set your own name resolution?
don’t have to open ticket for that matter.
in hypervm
199.19.106.96 199.19.106.186 i have set this ips for name resolution
so am i wrong?
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
you have to set some existing pingable ip adresses, like john said, google or opendns 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 or whatever is fastest for you but best stay with google 8.8.8.8
I don’t think he/she understands nameserver
Okay John
Ticket ID: 953555
did you look into this ticket ?
Yes i know about nameserver but you don’t know the issue which i have discussed in this ticket and what your support person said. please be professional before saying anything to customer.
Example :
same problem with virpus and ticket details are same
Answer : your problem has been resolved please try again
same problem with burst.net and ticket details are same
Answer : please change nameserver ips which we have provided below..
Again i asked where to change they given command details for changing..
i m fresher in linux but advanced user in windows server
first solve ticket associated with problem and then say anything extra
I am not from the provider, and you even don’t understand what nameserver does.
We currently have 15 IPs in stock on our new west coast server, first come first serve.
@Amit Jha – To use your server to host websites with your own nameservers you need to setup a DNS system such as bind. Once it is setup point the NS to the IPs and apply the domains. Hopefully this helps solve your problem.
Out of stock already? Or specific link needed?
thx
@JC – Out of stock again. Sorry… We’ve got 6 servers on order with over 300 IPs nationwide so we should have those in the next day or two. We’ll keep you posted.
We currently have more stock available (use the link above). Currently we only have stock on our west coast server.
Out of stock again?? :'(
Hi,
The blog post says Pennsylvania USA However I have reason to believe its in Jacksonville?
Can Justin from BlueVM Verify where it’s located please?
I wonder, what is the relation with Host Storm?
And also, no email received to my mailbox when I sign up and even after payment

There Site IP’s blacklisted for mail.
I received all the emails, was instant setup, no complatins here.
I’m receiving the email now. It’s a bit late. And yes, it’s instant setup :)
Fighting with these spam lists is almost impossible. One bad thing happens its nearly impossible to get removed. Anyway we’re out of stock (again) but I have another 2 servers coming online later tonight or tomorrow.
@BlueVM
is this good idea to make mysql server of your vps for load balancing?
@Amit Jha – It isn’t a bad idea… what exactly are you trying to run?
@BlueVM it’s not your issue i think the whole of VD’s IP’s are blacklisted as a few i own are too.
@Jack – We try our best to keep them clean. I’d say 25% of them are dirty when we get them. Glad we’re trying to force ourselves out of their DC and into better ones. Their hardware is sound, their company isn’t.

anyone have try ppp for vpn?
We have a limited amount of stock again…
wow..that’s fast setup.. under 15mins setup :)
very nice impression
Managed to order one over night – stock didn’t last long of course :-)
Immediate setup (something like 3min), by default comes up as CentOS but can be quickly reinstalled to any other flavor offered. Also not many providers have Debian 6 at all, not to mention both 32/64-bit.
Will leave more feedback once I have properly tested it but for now, thumbs up!
I have 64/128 old ones for 1.5 $ and I am happy with it.
I use it to teach someone Linux and it is perfect for that.
I had some memory problems, but i think 192 burstable is really enough, but I manage in 128 all i need with a bit a fidling around or by using the Kloxo image whcih comes preinstalled with everything.
It is a responsive VM, I like it a lot.

IPv6?
Thanks for the positive reviews.
@ Tom Robbins – We don’t have IPv6 support at any of our 3 locations, YET however 2 of our locations claim they will have the support online in the next month.

We once again have stock, your welcome to order it… doubt it will last long: Since I put up the stock we’re down 10 so give it an hour + this post and well we’ll be back down from 100 to 0 in no time.
So far my first VPS experience. Ordered last night and it was setup pretty quick. Reloaded Ubuntu 11.04 on my server and it didn’t appear to take too long. Installing packages does take a long time but that might be normal for all I know. I will say that I can’t access cPanel, the http://www.bluevm.com website or SSH into my VPS right now so there does appear to be downtime. Hope it is just a temporary thing. Other than that you seem to get a lot of specs for the money compared to some of the other deals (get what you pay for?)
So, I was unaware of the shady past of BlueVM’s owner, Justin. Lots of failed past enterprises, no communication and unhappy customers. Although I just ordered the VPS last night, the presence of downtime already for me (and for others in this thread) makes me think I will be asking for a refund. Next I am going to try SecureDragon, Hostigation and BuyVM (if I can sneak into some stock via IRC or something). I’ll let you guys know my results.
If you request a refund, we’ll grant it. We aren’t in the business of ripping people off. The servers should all be back online now and if your having any problems feel free to send us a ticket. We’re also giving 5% discounts to all clients who request them if they were affected by the downtime.
5% of discount in what? My invoices? new products?
Also, your WHMCS isn’t working, you can’t login
Something wrong with the data center?
It seems. Site down, vps down o_O
@Yomero – Yes your invoices. If your having problems logging in try resetting your password if that isn’t working email me at: admin[at]bluevm[dot]com
Justin,
I’m not very happy with the service so far , I requested TUN/TAP @ 13:00 it’s now 21:34 …
Service (bluevm.com & my server) still is down for me, just a few days ago I paid for a whole year. I hope its getting back up soon.
Hmmm my vps is still up and running since it was purchased.
Note, GeoIP says it is in Los Angeles…
What location?
I can’t access the website, or solus, or my vps u_u
I was all happy, but I noticed today my VM is down… I went to check on the bluevm site, and… they are down too… !! please don’t be gone!!
VPS was offline Yesterday – got a notice that it back back up late last night, then down again before morning,
Currently – Down :/
Or in a zombie state… Now is when I hate my uptime robot, because it says is up. Also isup.me says bluevm.com is up. LOL
This site says its offline: http://downforeveryoneorjust.me/bluevm.com
Also you can see at http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=bluevm.com&c=&s=ping!
Yes I do the same lol
But isup.me said online always for me u_u
HostNode Back online
Waiting on Containers loading now I assume.
We’re aware of the issue and are working on it now. We aren’t going anywhere.
These were the last words of the most deadpoolers :)
Got my VPS details, but no ip adress.
By using the Console from the node i have no connectivity to the internet :/
Hopefully i can setup the box today or maybe tomorrow :)
@Trawnik – You should be setup… send us a ticket if your still having issues.
We have another 20 LEB Specials in stock on our IL node. Just click the link above.
@BlueVM – i can’t order. After i click the Order link and fillup the hostname etc. I click on the Add to Cart button, it doesn’t add to cart but loads cart.php .
I tried many times since yesterday, where are things going wrong?
@Pats – We’ve re-enabled ordering… try now.
done.. waiting for setup email…
Update : My VPS with BlueVM which located in Corporate Colocation is stable.
The Uptime is :
Running two websites with NginX, plus OpenVPN and Squid nicely
Glad to hear you like it :)
Anymore stock coming?
@Ryan – Probably not, we have a larger plan on our site for $1.99 /Mo. and we have a couple of other specials floating around on LET.
@BlueVM: i’ve a question about 64mb plan (15$/year): 250 gb Bandwidth means 250gb/mo or 250gb/year?
Interesting… Wonder if it’s really to make things better or if they’re having to jump ship for financial reasons?
Not a lot of warning either way…
Likely couldn’t get the IP space they need to make it really worth it.
That’s one thing all these people doing cheapo yearlys forget to check.
Our server move was actually just moving our physical box inside of the datacenter so that all of our nodes would have more concurrent out bound connections, better support and higher uptime. In all honesty our cost per node actually went up slightly, but we feel the increased cost is worth the advantages it will provide over time. We should be releasing a new special shortly.
Glad to hear it. :)
Hello BlueVm,
Heard alot about VPS Service with bluevm around the network. And now I’m very much eager have a vps for me. Hopefully BLUE4 (512 MB) – BLUE4 – LEB SPECIAL In Quarterly basis payment. Now Problem is i’m from india n i do not have credit card service to pay on paypal or either Google pay . Help me out in this ..
I’m expecting lot more with bluevm.
In Next setup i’d like to appoint someone who can guide me right from installation til i host couple of websites and I’ll pay for your time. Hope any1 from india can guide me better.
Regards,
Yashas
Did you purchase VPS service ?
I am also from India and interested on Blue VM. It is cheap.
Shhh… Yash. That was a mistake, it wasn’t supposed to be on our site just yet. We’re waiting for LEA/Chief to post our new special. Don’t give it away to everyone :)
It’s leaking. LOL
lol, I just ordered one, hope you don’t mind. :P
Looking forward to writing a review and posting it on LowEndTalk
WEll Suggest me on payment method on what i have mentioned about.
@Yash – You could pay with paypal by sending money from your bank account via an echeck. You can also open a ticket with us to get an address where you can send a money order.
sure, I’ll go through it asap. is there any free trial vps offer on any of your three server sites ?
LEB is not the market where you get free trial…
I am wondering if we can get that free Backup + Panel + Mysql space :P
So far, my VPS is going fine. Better than the last time (was an ovz, now a kvm).
Simply open a ticket and we’ll create a backup account for you.
