Ceko from Flipper Host brings us a new KVM offer!  Not only do they have four locations on two continents to choose from, not only do they take a ton of payment methods, not only are they giving an annual discount, and not only are their prices pretty sweet, but…they also have an adorable mascot.  How can you say no to that face?!?  It’s the flip-flops (get it?) that really seal the deal for me.

Flipper Host has service in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Amsterdam.  Their monthly price is nice at $3.90 for a 1GB KVM, but you can drop that to $3.33 a month if you pay annually.  You’d think 2GB would be $6.66 but…nope!  Only $4.16 on an annual contract.  Woot!

They’re an Albanian company (registration L71327003F) and their WHOIS is public.  You can find their TOS docs on their web site.  They accept Paypal, 2Checkout, Credit Cards (All Types), Alipay, Skrill, Unionpay, Yandex.Money, Boleto Brasil, WebMoney, QIWI and Bitcoin, which I think is about every payment form known to mankind.

If you decide to jump in the pool with Flipper Host, the LEB community would love to hear about your experience in the comments section below!

Here’s what they had to say:
