Erik from FastVPS emailed me their “Boxing Week” promotion, which was also posted on WHT — with lots of replies there already which might be a good sign. By the way, Boxing Week “is a period of six days or more that starts with Boxing Day and ends with New Year’s Eve” so I might be a bit late posting their offer — we’ll see. It’s a 50% off recurring discount when you use promo code boxingweek. It applies to all their OpenVZ VPS plans except for the “FAST $12/YR”. So these are their low-end plans:
- FAST $12/YR
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 15GB storage
- 1TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 500GB/month)
- $12/Year — Direct signup link
- FAST256MB
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 30GB storage
- 2TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 1TB/month)
- $1.50/month — Direct signup link after discount
- FAST512MB
- 512MB guaranteed/1GB burstable memory
- 60GB storage
- 4TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 2TB/month)
- $2.50/month — Direct signup link after discount
- FAST1024MB
- 1GB guaranteed/2GB burstable memory
- 110GB storage
- 6TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 3TB/month)
- $6/month — Direct signup link after discount
Payment in either PayPal or AlertPay. Yes I know on the WHT post it says “cut by 50% our price on Semi-Annually and Annually Billing cycle”, however tried on monthly billing and the coupon code still works. Servers in Scranton PA which I presume would be with VolumeDrive (test IP: 199.168.142.37). Personally I think $2.50 for 512MB/1024MB would probably be the best value here. There is no need to commit for the whole year, (almost) everyone can afford to lose $2.50, and 512MB is plenty for many applications. They are using Xeon X3450’s with 16GB memory and 2TB SATA. IRC, Gameservers and Shoutcast are allowed, according to Erik.
Domain itself was registered by “Nicholas Eouani” in Florida in October 2011 which makes it merely 2 months old. However the registrant email address led me to a different person — “Emeric Olenga” of Montreal Canada, who was on WHT previously running a hosting company which he dumped 4 years ago. Anyway, I would still treat this as a new company and the plan is “too good to be true” at the moment. Some brave hearts would definitely give it a try, and we’ll see how things stabilise over the next couple of months.

LowEndBoxTV: Is Your VPS or Web Hosting OVERSOLD? 🤔 How to Check!
LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.

my website just today offlined
I opened a dispute on PayPal, but now my VPS site seems to be working fine. For the price it seems OK. If only it keeps running. It all started so well, after I signed up I got a nice email with all the details and it was all set up. Installed and ran MySQL without problems. But then it went downhill, I got a series of emails saying SolusVM didn’t work and that their servers had been taken offline due to hacking. Then their own home page would not work anymore. One would expect some emails giving updates. Even after opening the PayPal dispute I didn’t get any email from them. The RAM allocation is good for the price, fingers crossed it actually keeps going.
If it’s online, make your backup and start looking into other solutions. It’s a matter of when, not if.
http://www.fastvps.co still doesn’t work for me. Perhaps they are doing a runner?
So many people in denial!! it was a lousy VPS to begin with, cut your loses and move on..
what about my 85 severs!!! I paid a fortune on these for a whole year! I can’t believe it’s so easy for someone to screw people over and runoff with the money! how can we get their ass in jail if not get our money back???
You sunk a lot of money into what was pretty obviously a dodgy host? I hope you’re trolling, and you’re not actually that dumb.
LOOOL! +1
But you will be surprised of how much retard people is around…
Oh, your not sticking up for them now! Gee I wonder why….
Like everyone else has said, backup your data while you can and look for another host…
