Via this WHT offer. ByteVPS has some pretty minimalistic web design, accompanying its minimalistic virtual server offerings. One one plan available on their website — “Byte” sized VPS for $4/month. Except when you click through the order page and it comes up as $5/month. Blame the ever-falling USD I guess :) Anyway, you’ll get:

• 96MB guaranteed/128MB burstable memory
• 5GB storage
• 75GB/month data transfer
• OpenVZ/SolusVM

The SolusVM IP address (60.234.45.xxx) points to a New Zealand ISP so I guess the VMs could be in NZ. That would certainly make it a very good offer consider majority of the low end boxes are in US or Europe The VPS servers are actually in Kansa City MO. Then I tried to do some background check on the business…

The OP of the deal on WHT, “MercuryWeb”, seems to be familiar. Indeed it has already been covered here back in June this year on their $4.90 128MB Xen VPS. It appears MercuryWeb’s address no longer shows their website (currently just a standard cPanel page for me). Well. It appears to be not the only business from Dan that has gone nowhere. My records also show that Codev Technology that we covered in November last year, which stopped taking new business back in April this year, and the website is currently offline — was also started by the same person.

Good on ya for being a serial hosting entrepreneur. All I did was playing Quake World when I was 19-20 at uni. Although buyers beware, as usual…
