BuffaloVPS A new promotion from BuffaloVPS, which was sent to me by Chris from ChicagoVPS, whom I presume is “helping out” looking after the shop while Adam is taking a break. Anyway. It’s Xen this time, which hasn’t been “on sale” at ChicagoVPS/BuffaloVPS for quite sometime. Use coupon code Xensale to take the Xen VPS “Standard” package down to $5.99/month. Direct order link here.

  • 512MB memory
  • 20GB storage
  • 1000GB/month data transfer
  • Xen/SolusVM

PayPal only. Servers with ColoCrossing in Chicago IL (test IP: 205.234.159.210). Both ChicagoVPS and BuffaloVPS have been regularly featured here so do check out some of the comments and reviews. As far as I can see, Chris/Jeremiah/Adam provide quite active support. Their OpenVZ VPS might be a bit overloaded, but with Xen VPS you pretty much get dedicated memory and disk space.

    I would avoid this one. My machine was not provisioned properly (“Destination Unreachable”) and I’ve had an open ticket for hours. I also tried to reach them via live chat but no luck. I would recommend going with another provider if uptime and responsiveness are important to you.

    • Denos,

      We are having a few issues right now that we are trying to fix that take higher priority.

      appreciate your patience.

      Thanks,

      Adam

    • denos:

      Update: The issue was resolved. Now that I have access to the VPS, I will say that it is snappy and the outbound bandwidth is better than expected. Although I will still say that they need to work on improving their response times, I can’t really complain too much for $6/month.

  9. Ricky:

    What kind of templates are available? It is not stated in the offer page I suppose..

  10. Pinoy:

    Ordered one today and still waiting for my VPS information. I wish they would set it up today.

    • Hello,

      Everyone should be provisioned, it your not please submit a ticket as something may have went wrong.

      Regards,

      Chris

      • Pinoy:

        My vps is already provisioned but cannot login to the server. I already submitted a ticket. :)

        October 4, 2011 @ 4:10 am
      • Tobey Cook:

        I submitted a ticket as well, since I’m still waiting for provisioning and server information.

    Very excited to try this out. I’ve been digging around for great VPS prices to use for a new startup project.

  12. ChinnoDog:

    Ordered on Friday, received confirmation at 2:14pm. VM wouldn’t boot though. Went to live chat, was told it takes a few minutes to set up so I left it alone and tried it later. Still won’t boot. I put in a ticket yesterday but it doesn’t appear on the support site anymore and I didn’t get a copy of it in email like the support site said I would. I put in a new ticket, #326187. 48+hrs and still don’t have a working VM. I don’t know about this….

    October 16, 2011 @ 8:04 pm
    • ChinnoDog:

      3+ days now, still don’t have a bootable VPS account. I’ve used the automated reinstall and can’t boot it after that either.

      October 17, 2011 @ 8:41 pm

      • Hello,

        I will make sure to tell Adam about this, I know he has been very sick the past few days. But still no excuse for the delay.

        Regards,

        Chris

        • Chris Fabozzi,
          when will you ‘1024’ again?

    …
    paid already half day, didn’t enable yet,
    live chat isn’t enable too…

  14. mike:

    i wouldn’t suggest these guys.
    after 1 month they suspended my account for non-payment…
    i have paypal invoices stating it was payed 5 days ago…
    their response via ticket support was less than adequate (listed lower)
    IMO rookies.
