Justin, from BlueVM, has recently sent in these three exclusive offers. Using the coupon code “LOWENDBOX” will give you 20% off their usual prices.

BlueVM Communications have been featured on LowEndBox three times before. Their staff are also very active on LowEndTalk and participate in the community. If you’re already a customer, or follow LowEndTalk, you will be aware that in February BlueVM moved 2,000 VPS clients from assorted old hardware, in California, Atlanta, Illinois and Texas, to new servers. According to their website, their servers primarily consist of the Intel E3-1240 with 32 GB of RAM and 4 x 1TB or 2TB drives in RAID10. I’ve had a look over their past offers are reviews seem to be mixed, as highlighted by these two recent reviews on WebHostingTalk.
BlueVM accept payments via PayPal, Google Checkout and, interestingly enough, Bitcoin upon request. Whilst they don’t normally offer refunds, Justin says that if someone requests a refund within 72 hours of ordering, they will honor it. IRC, VPN/Proxies and Adult content is allowed as well as Tor Middle Nodes. You can read their Terms of Service for more information.

Pleasantly surprised with my BlueVM LEB.
Also, interesting test IPs across all those locations o_O
My terrible surprise with BlueVM was when I deployed a database and got the account suspended because this task consule a lot of CPU. The second surprise was a permanent suspension of the account again because of consuming CPU. The surprise for me is that BlueVM is the worts company that I ever had a relation with. REALLY, REALLY BAD COMPANY. DON’T BUY ANY SERVICE!
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1260634 read that. See the benchmarks? It handles stuff fine!
Oh, it’s Justin who helped me a lot with his uptime monitoring script. If I needed any VPS right now, I will certainly give a try without any doubt, but unfortunately not needing now.
I will certainly recommend BlueVM to anyone. They are very friendly.
Very friendly? I’ve have the opposite experience. I had 2 bans while deploying a Django website. The last thing that they did was to kick me off the help IRC because I’ve complained the service.
I LOVE BLUEVM,CHEAP AND STABLE !
You must be joking when you call this service stable. It is cheap, unstable and populated with incompetent people that suspend accounts just to up-sell some more accounts. TERRIBLE company, by far this is the worst company that I had a relation.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1260634 See that? The service is stable and the people are competent, in comparison to you.
@Roph – Glad you like it. Let us know if you need anything else.
@Nagib – Thank you, glad you like our uptime script.
@主机测评 – Thanks, let us know if there’s anything you need.
Strange to see 192.x.x.x IP addresses. Maybe I’m getting old, but although only 192.168 is reserved, the sight of 192 makes me think it is a local address. But hey, z1s.org monitors them all: http://z1s.org/dashboard/checks/5137343798e428bc540240b5
Can burst be replaced with vswap?
Once your VPS is moved onto Feathur, you’ll have vSwap instead of Burst.
Nice guy.
HyperVM….It looks like good
@Bobby – Unfortunately not at this time. Possibly within the next month or so.
Awesome 🙂 Will open a ticket in a while then.
I’m also pleasantly surprised with mine (Atlanta).
Renewals is also this price?
Thank you all for your nice comments. Your feedback is appreciated.
Feel free to open up a support ticket if you have any questions or problems.
@shylocker110 – The price will remain the same for the life of the VPS (month after month).
Does this offer have a cut off date/limit on how many times its used?
I dont need another server for about 1-2 months will that be too late?
Cheers.
Pretty sure we’ll be out of stock by then for sure. However we can work something out in a month.
Just $2/mo and with burst? Must resist, the force is so strong…!
Yeah ;P
BlueVM indeed offers good deals.
I have one with them, well less than a month, but so far I like it. 🙂
I’m glad everything is running smoothly.
Let us know if we can do anything for you.
You must be on the illusion period. This company is VERY BAD. For me was 2 months and a waste of effort and time. REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE!
If you go to their website, you actually get a better deal if you go to the “special offers” section. You can get the BLUE4 for $7 a month vs. $7.50.
@Bret – While true, that deal is only available in limited quantities and does not cover the first 2 plans.
Are the KVM instances not available or something? I can’t seem to select KVM1/2/3/4 on the order page.
@JoeAnon – At this time there is no KVM stock available. We will be releasing a separate KVM offer in a few weeks.
Or you will suspend some more accounts and not refund the money to the customers. Please do correct business, do not cheat customers and specially do not ban paying customers from the help IRC because they are complaining about the BlueVM bad service and incompetence.
Picked up a 256MB in “California”, but it appears to be in Los Angeles, not San Jose.
0.4ms pings to LA server and 13ms pings to the San Jose.
@Frank – Your assumption is correct and should be corrected on the post. My apologies we assumed we’d be adding that location before this post, but the post was made earlier than we predicted.
I would like to know what Linux distros are available? Could not find that info on your website.
@Anton – CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Kloxo (CentOS), Suse, Scientific Linux – In various version numbers and 32/64 bit.
I believe their California location is LA, not San Jose.

Can you move me to your San Jose node after it is available? I bought your VPS and thought it is in San Jose but actually it’s in LA. It is very disappointing.
And, any ETA on the San Jose node? If I have to wait too long I will cancel my current VPS in LA.
Purchased the 256 plan for an uptime monitoring point. 🙂 Havent logged in as of yet, but I’m not a fan of HyperVM, biased to Solus, but whatever, aslong as it can reboot an reinstall, no problem.
Good luck on the offer mate.
Thank you for your business.
Let us know if we can assist you in anyway.
Seems like I missed some post in LET.
What kind of monitoring script? And also, I read that BlueVM also helped about monitoring script. Ant LET post of it?
Or maybe some personal contact to me? PM or email maybe?
http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/222101 — this.
That’s correct. Thanks.
Thank you very much 🙂
I purchased BlueVM OpenVZ VPS – BLUE3 LEB Deal back in late September 2012. I let it idle for about 3 months and the uptime was great until they have to transfer us to a new machine.
Well, everything is smooth and no complain at all since it is a better machine now and I start to fill it in with some amazon affilaite scripts.
As for the HyperVM, I have no objection as I have used it for quite awhile, and in fact I am a Kloxo fan for it’s simplicity and cost.
Well done BlueVM
Thank you for your business. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
I have 1 VPS since october 2012, no problem until now.
Ishaq is very friendly and answer my ticket(#357353) in less than a minute.
I love this provider. So far so good.
Thank you for your positive feedback.
Do you provide cPanel license ?? If you don’t provide then if I buy from any authorised distributor and want to run cPanel, can you manage this cPanel VPS for extra charge ??
We can work something out. Contact support 🙂
Any ETA on actual San Jose node?
@John – This second, no. We’re still in the process of trying to make sure the price and the features match our needs as well as those of our customers.
If it wasn’t for the old Xeon L5420 CPUs…
Hm?
sorry, according to this review ( http://vpsbenchmarks.net/benchmarks/2012/09/bluevm-256mb-atlanta-vps-benchmarks/ ) your VPS’s have L5420 CPUs. I don’t know if it’s not outdated
Yeah. We used those on our old nodes.
For our OpenVZ VPS you’ll find we now use purely E3-1240v2s with hardware raid.
As mentioned on the post above, there was a migration from old nodes.
This is what I have with my Blue3 in Buffalo.
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz
Number of cores : 3
CPU frequency : 3058.227 MHz
Total amount of ram : 2048 MB
Total amount of swap : 0 MB
Let me tell you that if try to do a deployment of a 3GB database your account will be suspended because this task consumes a lot of CPU. This is the reality of my Blue3 account. DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE GUYS. You will waste your time, effort and money and eventually you will be so angry with these guys that you will take a vacation to have time to tell everybody that BlueVM sucks!
My package is this one http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/bluevm-10year-64mb-openvz-in-california-atlanta-illinois-kansas/,
Great!
Looks good 🙂
Keep up the good work Bro!
Great offers, do you have live chat support except IRC ?
I need VPS for VPN use it’s allowed and do you have detail TOS about VPN please ?
We don’t have live chat due to our budget prices, sorry.
VPN is allowed and TUN/TAP can be enabled from your control panel.
Thank you.
I have made an order and paymant thr paypal.
Thank you for your business.
Hi ,
is B1 like 2.50 permonth or 2?
$2.00
I’ve bought a B3, $6 and they suspended the account when I was deploying the database, because the deploy consumes some CPU. I imagine a B1 account, you will be suspended if you try do make an “ls -all” to a directory with many files. DON’T BUY ANY SERVICE FROM THESE INCOMPETENTS. For me it was olny a waste money, effort and time and when you complain about the REALLY BAD SERVICE on the help IRC they ban you of the channel. DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE COMPANY.
how come hypervm and not solus?
why it should be?
We use HyperVM due to our budget prices, however we’ll be using our brand new custom panel soon.
Does Blue VM allow the use of torrent clients on their VPS?
@Tim – Legal torrents, yes.
You accept everything. You only want fools to pay you and then you will suspend the accounts. TERRIBLE SERVICE!
They don’t accept abusers like you ^_^
Hello! Great offer, there! Could I use one of your boxes to setup an icecast server? Not for encoding, just for relaying and with minimal use of bandwidth (no more than 30-40 MB at max, normally much lower).
Yes, of course.
I set it up, for the last 15 hours works like a charm and the server load is almost zero. Hope the stability lasts! Installation of the server and rebuilds for my testing was OK. I used for the first time HyperVM in their server and it is much better than solusvm. So far, so good.
Thanks for your business.
Any ETA on when the Atlanta BLUE3 will be available? Currently out of stock.
Send in a ticket and we can add the order. We haven’t put stock on the site due to the demand, we will be releasing more soon.
I actually already had one under a different name asking this since I thought you might see a ticket first, shall I just add it to that ticket? Ticket number is 803407 btw.
Ok, bought and setup a new VPS – BLUE2
Comments:
Though the signup email provides a link to a SolusVM cpanel too, this doesnt work. But as per the LEB offer, they’ve clearly said SolusVM isnt provided, so this causes only confusion than an annoyance.
Subscription to VPS and setup seemed automated, VPS was provisioned in minutes
There was an error in adding an addon pack. However the ticket was solved in less than an hour.
Overall, response after opening ticket was slower than the average response times of peer companies. However it is not too poor.
The port speed is awesome.
Thank you for your business.
Let us know if we assist further.
Please remove the offer.
Blue 1 none avaialble
Blue 2 1 in 1 location
Blue 3 same
Blue 4 more are avaialable.
since we can’t order it’s better to remove the offer here.
Maybe you’re just too late.
bluevm.com is currently returning “Website currently unavailable”.. does not exactly inspire confidence.
Our NY location is down. Please see twitter.
This is awesome. BlueVM’s main site says “Website is currently unavailable”. The VPS management panel at http://manage.bluevm.com:8888 too is unavailable. Support tickets are too late in being replied to, and are mostly inadequate. Do you offer money back on these subscriptions?
They don’t refund money, forget about that. BlueVM is a joke of service. It is a service to waste money and get nothing out of it.
In this case, you’re wrong. They did not refund the money, but extended my subscription after I submitted a ticket.
You had luck. In my situation I had a permanent suspension and when I complain their bad service in the help IRC channel they ban me! This is not the way maintain a relation with a customer. For me all BLueVM want is to have new fools buying the service and when there is problems, because they up-sell the servers they suspend some account that is using more resources. For me a company that act like this don’t deserve any respect.
Our NY location is down. Please see twitter.
How does this affect your service unless you’re in NY?
Well, my VPS is in Buffalo, and it’s definitely affecting me. I cant even open a support ticket as your site is down.
This has been fixed.
We can move you to another location, request it via a ticket.
Cant you switch me over to another location?
See above comment.
