From Jacob via LowEndTalk, the previous 512MB OpenVZ is back in a new location Manchester, UK. Their coupon code FEBRUARY (should have been March or April) brings down their “Starter” vps plan to $3.99$4.00/mo (because thats what you get on WHMCS as ‘recurring charges’). Direct signup link here
- 512MB memory / 1024MB burst
- 30GB storage
- 1500GB/month data transfer
- CPU: 4 Core
- OpenVZ/SolusVM

Some interesting comments the last time it was posted so its worth having a look. Unlike last time, Jacob cleared that the ToS are correct and updated which clears all doubts that the following are not allowed

- Torrents/SeedBoxes
- DDoS attacks

- Child pornography

Their terms of service is.. worrying. Looks like he wrote it himself? :D
We are familar with it, Unlike the most majority of the Web Hosting Industry who have copied and pasted it.
Chief, This is not the offer we submitted unfortunately, We also included IPv6 Test IPs and other Information which has not been included. This is a exact copy of our previous offer which I purposely avoided trying to duplicate.
then, post on lowendtalk?
I think “meow” is hinting that there are spelling mistakes which shows a bit of unprofessionalism for not checking it. Either way it’s not a real big deal, at least effort was put in to the ToS. :)
I’m saying that there are things missing that really should be in there, both to follow laws and to protect the company/owner.
Welcome to the new LEB!
@meow,
And hopefully he did not write it for himself. :)
The Jacksonville and Kansas City tests its not working.
I’ll answer all questions in a hour or two as I am doing Live Chat, Answering ticlrts and emails on a 5 Inch screen, I will be home shortly to sort everything out.
If only it actually were 1500GB/month data transfer. :D
I have fixed all the Issues with the Test IPs & Files.
I spoke to asim about him posting this, It appears he grabbed our WHT Post which was Incorrect as I accidently pressed enter while creating the WHT Thread and had around 15 Minutes to create it from scratch.
KS1 had a small network issue, I let adam know at the datacenter and he fixed this within 15 Minutes of notification.

I love EaseVPS , Only monthly VPS I have :)!
It’s nice to have a VPS in the same country for just $3.99!
have you recently experienced any downtime?
No, I ordered on 16th Feb then a few days ago I moved to Manchester from Kanas city.
Thankyou for the comments Jack, If your VPS is ever down I recommend checking http://easestatus.com as that is accurate and Pings the IP in a 5 Minute Period and notifications are sent out to us.
It’s okay Jacob R.

I apologise for the recent network issues, Causing the network to either drop(It has happened once today, For about half a minute).
I have been moaning at the datacenter to take a look at the other servers that we share the port with and It looks like their was a abusing server or two. Earlier it was at 900KB/s, Which is terrible but now it is back to a acceptable speed.

why is my speed slow?
That speed is awfully low, Submit a ticket and I will have a look into it for you.

It really depends on the server you are downloading from.
Try:
See if you get similar results.
from that server it’s ok
Great, Thanks for all the comments guys!
It is definitely the server.
Which Node?
I’ll drop datashack a message, Im ill guys so sumesh will be taking over for the next couple of days.
Who’s Sumesh
He is a tech, Some of you would of seen him answer your tickets he works when I sleep.
I am feeling a lil’ better now so I’m going to answer the last bunch of tickets and proccess all the pending orders now.
I notice that the checkout says 500GB, not 1500.. which is it?
thanks
~Dan
Hi,
I was told by Jacob via Skype , it’s 500GB.
The LEB Poster, Posted a incorrect offer. 1.5TB data to a $4 VPS in UK would bankrupt me literly.
Routing Issues on UK1, Either the /26 block has been partially nullrouted because the first 2 usable IP Addresses work and are responsive on both In/Out bound Connections.
Dropped a ticket at Burst, I’ll try phoning the office now but I doubt they will answer or even have staff in the office at this time.
My IP works Jacob…
I am going to be closing stock for a few weeks, Or atleast untill I can fnd reasonablely priced rack rails for the DL320 G6.
The VPS seems rock solid however the bandwidth is a little disappointing compared 1.5TB from their last offer as well as no option to upgrade it but thats a little problem. This is surely a keeper!
Hear are some stats from the vps.
Thanks for the review/comments, 1.5TB Bandwidth is impossible for a $3.99($2.99 when paid yearly) VPS.
I hope for upgrades higher then starter plans on promotions like this as a Full node full of $3.99 Starter plans just about cuts out the Colo / Hardware costs.
Touch disappointed the hardware on this appears to be a good few years old. I thought when they opened their Manchester facility they’d be using newer hardware but I admit that I’m asking a lot from such a cheap deal!
I think these nodes for UK are just why he makes money for upgrades , I’m sure by next year he’ll be throwing E3’s out with RAID10 ect.
The L5420’s cost us £400 / Server and it pays off rather quickly. On a price:performance ratio it is decent and what you recieve in the UK we are a reasonable provider.
We operate on a low capital, Without any debt or hardware leasing contracts so all profits are put back in the company to buy new hardware.
Thought I’d comment on my experience so far with EaseVPS.
I ordered a VPS in Kansas, and after a small provisioning problem, was set-up within a couple hours, DirectAdmin licence included.
I am aware that I was literally squeezed onto a nearly-full node, however that hasn’t been a problem.
Server speed has been completely fine; stable and reliable. The DirectAdmin install was quick, where it can take ages.
The support is quick, responses generally within the hour, which is better than expected with Low-End Providers.
So far, so good. Let’s hope it stays this way :)
I appreciate the comments Elliot, So far so Good! :-)
Should have stock in a couple of weeks, Enough to not run out I hope.
For a small startup I ordered the $3.99 VPS from easevps.
I’m the tech guy, my collegue is the business guy, so the credit card I used was in his name.
Neither of us received any confirmation of the order.
After inquiring, I get a curt reply “Hello, View the email log on the client/billing account.”
Nevermind that neither I nor my colleague can log in to their system.
After replying we can’t log in, Jacob replies:
“I cannot reveal any account information, Tell the account owner to login and submit a ticket. Otherwise this stays closed.”
After explaining again we can’t login, we get this reply:
“Like I said previously tell the account owner to contact us with the first/last name on the account and the registration date.”
Alright, different instructions. My colleague sends them an e-mail,
including that reply, asking to cancel the order. We never receive
any confirmation.
The next day, I ask for a confirmation of the cancellation.
One day later, a reply: “I cannot disclose information, Ask the account holder to contact us.”
To which finally, my reply:
“He did, he sent you an e-mail asking you to cancel the order?
Can you send him a confirmation to cancel the order?
Why is this so difficult?
I’m not happy with your customer service: it must happen more often that someone
orders a VPS for a collegue. We are a small startup, I’m the tech guy, he’s the business guy,
so I’m ordering something on his card.
I’m also running an IT consulting company, and have VPS’s with a least 4 other companies.
I regularly need to advise people where to host.
You’re now coming across as a one-man operation who’s too busy to be polite,
and to work with his customers.”
It’s highly annoying when you’re a professional and you come across this type of behaviour.
Yes, we ordered a small cheap VPS, but we’re planning on growing substantially very soon
(we just received a large government grant).
Other VPS providers I can recommend:
– ChicagoVPS
– BHost (UK)
– PCExtreme (Netherlands)
– Hetzner (Germany)
Best,
Patrick Min
I think EaseVPS did the right thing. Imagine the lawsuits they’d open themselves up to if they answered any of your questions. We had a client who asked us to deal with his tech directly for everything but that’s just not possible. A company should only deal with clients directly and not a 3rd party without lawyers and contracts involved on both sides.
Sure, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
But my point is that they didn’t even deal with our business guy as well
(no e-mail, no confirmation, nothing, even though he e-mailed them cc’ing me (!))
I have not recieved any emails from the name stated in your ticket, Also what I did was the correct way to handle this and untill the account owner contacts me then I will not do anything.
I take account owners privacy and personal information seriously, I cannot just be searching through our database for the names you stated and changing / disclosing order information. Not going to happen Buddy.
Well, I guess it didn’t work out for some reason.
He did send e-mail, but I suppose it didn’t arrive.
I’ll ask him to send it again.
1 GB ?
Sure, I assume you mean 1GB RAM? I am going to be opening stock shortly.
We are also having some email problems, I am working on it.
UK1 also was down at 6:36 PM Yesterday, And today for a short while but I quickly resolved this I am not sure on the issue yet, But from what I can see it is a DOS/DDOS Attack after seeing that their is packet loss of 90% when it is going sluggish.
The easy fix would be to put a Firewall behind it but there is no guarentee that it would even help in mitigating off these attacks.
Just tried a disk test for kansas city

Yeah, It’s not the best on KS2, Even though it is a RAID 10 Setup.
I will see what I can do about this, Since the I/O is below what other nodes usually maintain.
Still happy with my service, just renewed it for another month.
Great, I am happy you are enjoying your service with us. :-)
This offer is so cool, I just wish they go for West Coast.
I doubt we will be Introducing new locations within the next 3 Months, I am still slowly restocking hardware in the UK.
Ordered a VPS starter from them yesterday. Got it activated today but with only 500GB monthly bandwidth. Asked them and reply is that this offer is not valid anymore. monthly bandwidth is 500GB instead of claimed 1500GB in their advertisement here.
The correct amount is 500GB but as you stated in the ticket, This can sometimes be misleading and because of that we adjusted your amount to 1500GB as stated in the ticket.
Thanks Jacob.
I will also like to mention that I am very pleased with prompt and excellent support that I have received even after above ticket resolution. VPS is working great. I am glad I found you guy through lowendbox :)
I ordered a VPS, I paid, but I was not even now ON, EVEN THOUGH THEY WRITE THE SITE TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT ACTIVATE within 5 minutes. HAVE PAST FEW HOURS AND I DO NOT HAVE RECEIVED VPS

=================================================
This conversation started very weird. With refund. Delayed refund. Short explanation why you refunded him in first place wouldn’t do any harm for us to understand whole issue. So why refund? And why not immediate refund as you obviously didn’t provide him with any service.
Originally the order come through with 10 IPs, Quaterly Billing term, And the total price was $11.38. This puzzled me, I asked him about this as this had never happened before that the price come through incorrect, Then shortly after he was cussing in tickets and on livechat. It is a no go, We simply do not want clients like that.
Then refund him immediately instead holding his payment next few days without service provided ;-) Who wouldn’t be upset with clear “we don’t want you as client however we also won’t return you money now but in next few days”?
2checkout take 3-5 days to refund he wouldn’t be holding the funds 2co would.
Yep, What Jack said. 2CheckOut is holding the funds.
What I dont understand is the first order he placed yesterday we refunded and told him we are not accepting it, Then he goes ahead and orders again?
Maybe he gave you a second chance :P
Thank you for “refund delay -> 2CheckOut” clarification.
Same here, I been waiting for my vps for more than 27hrs.
We are waiting for the IP Block to be setup on UK2, It shouldn’t be long now(few hours).

that write to him on site. do not write lies. as you see Jacob knows this only to lie and fool customers. I paid, are bona fide customer. seem normal and right for him to wear it with clients and to mock those who pay for VPS? What confidence can we still have us in this company, if after payments are treated like garbage and our ships?
the future to think 10 times before you will buy from this company ghost
since we pay and order at the site he should get what you pay. in case you do not have VPS had to put stock 0 available on site. had to remove them from the site. but he just wanted make money and let people wait
I vote for EaseVPS, URPad and BuyVM, the three excellent VPS providers in the world!!!
BuyVM currently has stock.
Today I bought Vps from easeVPS and i paid my cash but it shows unpaid
i paid 2 times still it shows unpaid plz refund my cash or solve my problem, i lost my 8 dollars
i have pics/proof of every thing

Easevps/Jacob = Soon to Be Deadpool. I currently have about 200 vps’s through about 125 providers…..(providers if you don’t see me in your client list please reply with your company info, always looking for more). I can honestly say this is the worst server stability and the worst customer service I have ever seen. To start I originally had 3 servers with Jacob, then one day one of my servers just went away??? No email, no explanation no nothing. So I have 2 now and I send a ticket in only to get Jacob claiming we don’t cancel servers? No regard to the records he can see and the previous emails with server credentials or payments that all show I should have 3 vps servers (GREAT WORK JACOB). So now I just have to accept that I have 2 servers I guess…..case closed. So one day (like 3 days later) my 2 servers are unreachable and again I send in a ticket. The response: Jacob could not see any problems….everything looks good….must be on my end I guess right. So then about a day later I get server set up details from Easevps…..like I just ordered new servers….only I didn’t. Here comes my 2 servers I complained about yesterday that looked fine according to Jacob. Both servers in the same DC and both on the same subnet (not impressed at all) about 4 tickets later instead of changing my IPs to what I needed (different subnets) I am forced to cancel the duplicate subnet server. IF YOU DON’T WANT CUSTOMERS SIMPLY TAKE DOWN YOUR SITE BECAUSE I AM GETTING VERY UPSET WITH YOUR BS AND CHILDISH TACTICS!
P.S. FYI the reason you have soooo many DDOS attacks is because you piss off soooo many customers, providers and competition……they get a vps so they can find your newest IP range and they blast the hell out of it…….treat people right and the attacks will go away. Currently I want a refund for the last month of no service but Jacob claims no. I suggest to all that if you are having issues and he is unwilling to fix it or refund please send your complaints to his payment processing company (2co)….they do not like chargebacks and they should know how Jacob operates (chargebacks come with a $25 fee to the merchant so even if for some reason you loose Jacob does too……I am going to charge back my payment now and send a full report and copies of all correspondences now. Cheers Jacob! :-)
