have they move to their own stuff or it’s resell cvps still ?
That’s what they did last time…
How can they resell ChicagoVPS when they’re all under the same mother brand? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious.
It was mentioned in their last offer here that they have now moved to their own boxes.
I was looking at this morning to get a VPS to put a bunch of half-dead sites I had before, and was chanting “discount, discount”…
and looks like it worked! Gosh, looks like I have to chant more :)
Signed up and provision was instant, so far so good, will do some more testing and I guess it will be on the 96MB review list as well :)
Note that they do not have burstable memory, so your total memory amount is going to be 512MB dedicated and nothing else.
Here you go, the review as promised:
http://www.96mb.com/96mb-low-end-vps-review-part-xxx-buffalovps/
Overall, I have to say I like what I have with them :)
That’s funny
– BuffaloVPS website has links to Privacy policy and TOS;
– the TOS .pdf actually for ChicagoVPS.net, not BuffaloVPS;
– the TOS references AUP which “may” be found on the ChicagoVPS.net website (why am I even looking there, if signing up with BuffaloVPS?), but the AUP is nowhere to be found;
Flashy storefront but a complete, hopeless mess underneath.
That because ChicagoVPS and BuffaloVPS are both from “New Wave NetConnect”
The site may seem that way but its not true.
BuffaloVPS was going to be a project of mine, but got way too busy with ChicagoVPS so I handed it over to Adam to run for himself since it was virtually all setup. I have not had the time to edit all the sites yet but plan on it shortly.
Also, yes all the ToS and AUP are the same as us, since when Adam first started he was reselling for us. Now that he has his own equipment I have instructed him to make it his own.
I hope this explains everything.

Chris
I wonder why only a handfull of companies these days offer control panels, is it so much hassle for them? I’m after a LEB with DirectAdmin, and apart from NewWebSite/FeHosting/Burst/Virpus nobody seems to do them. anyone knows a provider that does DA?
Because most VPS hackers like their console more than some dubious web-based administration systems that can only handle standard-stuff on a ressource-eating level.
ZazoomVPS does, cost around $6
1) they’re out of stock
2) I don’t trust providers that’s been around for 2 months
$5.50 to be exact, we buy them straight from DA for a little less then that, but if we went any cheaper then we would make a loss.
1) X orders Cpanel for 15$ on 5$ plan.
2) You order Cpanel for 15$ from a Cpanel reseller.
3) You email the serial to X.
4) X fails to install it.
5) X starts sending tickets.
6) You don’t deal with software, because you are UNMANAGED.
7) X goes to post a WHT thread of HORRIBLE “insert yourself here”.
8) You got to defend yourself.
9) X issues a paypal dispute.
10) You see paypal dispute, you get a headache.
11) X stops paying for hosting.
12) You lose paypal dispute (OW YEAH, IT HAPPENS even on virtual goods!!!).
13) You lose your monthly hosting income.
14) You lose your CP license cash since no one will take it back.
15) 1 idiot gets replaced by another idiot and you get to point 1.
As you can see there is SO MUCH WRONG with offering control panel licenses in budget market, that no logically thinking providers are even bothering to do it.
DA internal licensing is about $5/month, even cheaper if the provider owns the license (owned internal lifetime is $49). What makes your calculation more useless is the fact that I’m not aftef a 128MB machine, nor such machine would work with DA
The DirectAdmin Team are actually very understanding, we had a chargeback on a DA license, and once we proved to them it was chargebacked, they cancelled the license and reverse the payment.
“I wonder why only a handfull of companies these days offer control panels, is it so much hassle for them?” Do you have amnesia or just can’t manage to reread what you said in your previous post? But guess you just though meaningless unfought commentaries.
I suspect problem is somewhere else. Most of these “ventures” because they are not a real companies – are run by people who are either too young or too unexperienced to deal with such things as licensing. These days it’s quite difficult to find a website without misspels and a real proper TOS/AUP – not ones copied from some other site. Renting servers is cheap as chips and everyone seems to think is a piece of cake, hence the number of failed ventures and growing number of providers in dead pool.
I’ve never dealt with DA before but how can you get an internal license for $5? Their site lists internal licenses for $9. :(
talk to them and ask :) or talk to Daniel. the more you buy the less you pay, I’m not sure how many you need for $5 level
@KuJoe those licenses for $9 are dedicated server licenses, VPS hosts can ask for special VPS licensing at $5 per license. :)
Tom, you hit the nail on the head.
@KuJoe – Send your website to DA(Mark?) and include your registered DA client ID#. Then you’ll got permission to issue/buy internal licenses which includes a option of “Code 500 Licenses” – that’s the license for VPS from DA.
As a cPanel Partner NOC, I don’t get much call for DA, but do offer it as well, but I would never buy the lifetime license without the customer paying for 1 year up front as I see very few stick with it past 3 months, where those buying cPanel stay for years.
Awesome! Thanks for the advice everyone. I’ve already sent them an e-mail and hope to hear back from them soon. Sorry to hijack the comments.
no need to apologize :) I’m extremely happy with a machine from you and hoping can get one with DA soon :)
Beast. I just signed up for a 512 and here’s the GeekBench result on the same hardware as ChicagoVPS: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/467867
I hope I’m not digging my own grave, but get it while you can. :)
Also, this is the sanest default OpenVZ I’ve seen among about 12 hosting providers. No locale warnings on first login and no useless default services (like sendmail / apache). Just pure Debian base (in my case) and configure it how you want. That’s nice.
No BURST memory???
Adam: Correct, dedicated RAM is all you’ve got :)
Fast connectivity to Asia too. I have 3 with them. :) (On their ChicagoVPS brand though)
Is it reccuring? Or it will be 3.75 for the first month and 10 for all the next ones?
Josh,
All sales we have are recurring.
Thanks,
Adam
i got 1 vps from them.. they got defective tun/tap module plus a bad support its been 5 hrs since i made a ticket but still no respond!!!
Natz,
When you get a flood of tickets that is what happens, support slows down, I know Adam was very overwhelmed.
I also think that 5hrs is exceptional granted the situation Adam was in, what is wrong with the tun/tap?
Seems my VPS with them is not responding at the moment, anybody is experiencing that?
