ErrantWebErrantWeb has a 512mb OpenVZ “LEB Users Special” hosted in Metro-Detroit for $5.50/month. You can also grab a similar, slightly less resourced “LowEndBox Special” off LET for $4.50/month. ErrantWeb is a completely new provider, domain registered in January 2012. However Aldryic from BuyVM notes that he is happy with the services so far provided by ErrantWeb.

  • 512MB of Ram
  • 256MB of vSwap
  • 25GB Raid-10 Storage
  • 75GB Bandwidth
  • 1 CPU Core
  • 1 IPv4 Address
  • OpenVZ/SolusVM
  • Direct Signup Link

ErrantWeb is hosted in Michigan-Colocation operated by Waveform Technology. ErrantWeb makes “sure that your tickets gets a response within 24 hours.” Being a new, small operation this is understandable. Keep cautious on signup, being a new company we suggest only paying month to month until ErrantWeb has developed a solid history.

  1. Hey guys,

    I really appreciate the post. All of the orders will be setup within the next 24 hours. We don’t currently offer any plans except for monthly because we would like to build a reputation with the community first.

    A IP you can ping:
    ns.waveform.net

    Regards,
    Travis@ErrantWeb

    • We would but we don’t like to oversell bandwidth. Most people buy way to much bandwidth for their LEBs anyway. :)

    So good so far, fast and decent latency.

    Stunningly good latency (from a VPS in Chicago):

    The bandwidth may not be very wide, but it’s fast.

    • We can upgrade your network speed usually free of charge, it is to prevent abuse from new sign-ups mainly. Thanks for that post, I really think it is great we can get fast pings from Chicago like that.

    This is from my house. The next best thing was a local DC that I had 13ms too. But it’s Tier 4 and way to expensive.

  6. Aramis:

    Signed up with ErrantWeb a few days ago and I have to say: I’m really impressed with the staff’s commitment to customer service.

    This is my first VPS (thanks to Errant’s incredibly affordable packages) and Travis went out of his way to help me set everything up – even after I broke it a few times. And this is with an unmanaged VPS.

    Not only that, but as the previous posts say above, the hardware performs exceptionally well.

    Given the price factor, there’s really no reason not to try ErrantWeb, whether you’re considering a new webhost or looking to expand.

    The only real downside you might notice is that being a new host, they don’t have 24/7 support or much of a user knowledge base setup yet. That could sway those who haven’t ever used a VPS before. However, given the support you get when they’re available (even Sunday mornings with my experience), it’s hard to do better. They literally setup my VPS to my preferred specs for me at no extra cost.

    All things considered, if you’re skeptical about them being new, keep your current host and try them out for a month.
    As there’s no contract, you really have nothing to lose if you find for some reason you’re not completely happy with them.

    Ultimately though, if your experience is anything like mine, you’ll find yourself sitting happily with a nice new webhost that provides phenomenal customer service, and end up saving a little money in the process.
