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.

He probably didn’t pay the bill for the server, that’s why it’s offline, and trying to raise cash to pay for the server, but he has nothing to sell now, so people, forget it, nothing will be back, done, pump and run again.
Sucks! My VPS is down/offline for two days till now!
My VPS was down for hours…I eventually just tried starting it again in SolusVM to see what happened and it booted. Who knows why it was shut down but it might be worth checking.
Mine was down around 5pm PST Feb-16. Noticed that it was off this morning as well and powered it on just fine. Deleted everything, powered down, and am cancelling my account.
How to explain …. Buy the VPS, configure, start and soil. Too bad. Change data center by God.
Thanks lowendbox for the recommendation! I went to their site and purchased the $1/month VPS 🙂
It’s been 2+ weeks now and I could be happier…Really realiable and fast VPS for dirt cheap.
View my full review: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=7964840
its ok now my new vps has been release old vps are corrupt.you can email them now
offline again,i will not recommend this vps
After 1,5 months using it.
First 3 weeks changing VPS from one server to another.
Two weeks semi-stable,
3 days with it semidown due ddos from/to vps in same machine
And 2 days without vps due HDD crash (of course loosing all of my data, backups is full customer responsibility)
And now with VPS offline again. I just decide that this VPS is fully unusable/unstable.
Yeah. I don’t expect much for the price, but stability would be good. Load is always high no matter what I’m doing as well, because of iowait. Guess they really cram the servers on each node.
Still working perfectly for me….almost 7 days uptime so far.
Thanks FastVPS.co!!!
Absolutely worthless company, check this out:
If downloading from the server via SFTP at a maximum of 20mbit/sec is abusing the disk IO, then I guess I’m an abuser. Literally nothing else was running on it. If it can’t handle disk IO of less than 3MB/sec without spiking, just how many customers are they cramming on a node? Pathetic.
The funny part is:
I must? I must fix their horrendous overselling? Well, I’ll do my little bit to alleviate the overselling. I just told them to shove their VPS.
Hostrail service at Hostrail prices!
Hahaha, lol, 69% io wait W-T-F
It’s a .co, seriously, what did you expect. From what we have seen on this website (ipap.co anyone?), it’s almost like when the owner’s guilty conscience wants to scream out to the world, “PLEASE PLEASE DONT BUY THIS, YOU WILL REGRET”, it makes that person go and actually register a .co domain. Even a .biz is more reputable than .co (or actually it might be not).
They’re both extremely sketchy and come off as spammer TLD’s in my opinion.

Hello,
you can find a new provider that you will be able to run your programs on it.
Your VPS wsa abusing the server disk i/o.
Last night when we suspended your VPS, we are able to test and see the difference on the the server disk speed…
You are running nothing on your VPs and your load average is over 2 with 3 cores?
The majority of our customers CPU load is under 1.
and io wa is under 5%, your i/o wa is always over 50%…
Forgive me for downloading from the VPS at ~20mbit/sec. If your hardware can’t handle that, you should really give up running a VPS company.
As for your message you sent me:
You see my post on LEB? So what? I told you to cancel it before I posted here.
People can see that my CPU usage was low. The load was purely due to iowait which is due to your bad management of the nodes. 2MB/sec grinds your whole node to a halt?
You should be ashamed.
Seriously. I pulled 3-7MB/s when this all started, but after the nodes were packed, I maxed out at 0.5MB/s. After sitting on that for a few weeks, I decided to just cancel.
What a joke.
Hello,
The joke is that our customers can download at over 25MB/s speed…

Just cancel my VPS, I’m done with your company. I just got suspended again, and all I was doing was downloading from the VPS via SFTP. Nothing else was running. If your shitty overloaded nodes can’t handle that without load spikes due to iowait, maybe you should stop cramming so many clients on each server, instead of suspending people for attempting to use what they’ve paid for.
Delete Support Ticket 26/02/2012 16:52
I see your post on lowen… Your VPS is canceled.

Sincerely,
You piece of shit. Who the fuck gave you permission to post my full name?
There you go folks, fastvps don’t give a damn about data privacy.
you have posted a copy of my reply without indicating your cancelation request to take us for thieves … I just posted the ticket in full. I’ll have to hide your last name, I apologize. a moderator will probably remove it
What? Hardly. I already said I asked for cancellation before I posted your ticket reply. How could that be twisted to look like I was calling you thieves? I don’t think you’re thieves, I just think you run a shitty service. One of the shittiest I’ve used. Top 3 in the “worst providers” list, for sure.
I edited out your full name but FastVPS needs to seriously reconsider how they handle their public relations.
Cheers Mark, I appreciate it.
This is funny…
UptimeVPS strikes again? Even they were good while lasted.
But IMHO this is evolving in a combination of UptimeVps with Hostrail plus the ignorant support kids of other bad hosts =S
server,few weeks now the server are stable and fast,i recommend this vps,sorry for my past message ,you are good to go dude,keep it up

Afetr failing through emails i decided to come here. Thank you again

Its fraustrating,is FastVPS going to get my site back again and install the direstadmin? Do i have to suffer as a customer from only day 5? Afetr failing through emails i decided to come here. They might be a good company but new i do not know,but so far my experience was not good and kind of scared to use their service
Mr Erik Fixed the problem for me, yes it was slow but he gladly took care of everything and more.
uptime is about 80%
it goes off line for many many hours with no notice, could be up to 24 hours. be careful
Ridiculous , horrible , scary . Absolutely THE WORST company EVER. Uptime ? In your dreams! Speed? Are you kidding me, turtle speed. My Internet at home is faster. Tech support? They will always answer you , by the next release of new Windows! So good luck
In four months they moved my vps from Florida (no Scranton) to Saint Louis, later to Chicago, and now to Phoenix, changing the ip and without asking me. I have lost all my data twice. Sometimes the network is veeeery slow. Every week they reboot the server, not good uptime, many problems, ddos attacks, etc.
I give up. It is very cheap but also very bad.
hello,
We never used a server in Saint Louis or Phoenix.
Please send me your Node server # and i can give you the server uptime…
our average uptime is 1 month because we make maintenance on our servers.
We the your VPS become slow, send us a email, we will check… many time is because one of our customers are under attack or one of our customer VPS become abusing of the server CPU.
Sincerely,
That’s funny Eric , I’m sorry but you guys have the most miserable hosting I have ever seen in my entire life
Always off line , never reply to tickets mostly , and when u do it’s after a week or 2 and even when you do reply you have no clue how to solve the problem and always have excuses like brute force attack or whatever attack or maintenance or moving blah blah blah , you changed my ips 3 times and I. Each time I lost my data because you just go off line for a week with no notice . I’m sorry but hard truth is your hosting is a joke
+1, this mob are useless. I didn’t expect much in the way of performance for $2.50, but no matter how much you pay, you should get:
1 – what you’ve paid for in terms of resources
2 – uptime
It seems like they change datacentres a lot. Avoiding paying bills? Taking advantage of first month free offers? Either way, the service is absolute shite. Downtime, reboots, multiple server moves… Worthless service.
Hey Brian, this is not you who run our company! and how you talk you do not even know how to detect and differentiate a DDOS attack and a SYn attack then stop coming here to say anything…
We have thousands of happy customers. If an attack target 4 servers at the same time, it’s normal that technical support is slower … instead we send the updates to all affected customers., that you do not tell.
Hi, i have purchase a fastvps 12/year vps plan. The vps is up but i have yet to receive my solusvm login. Could you please look into it? This is the 3rd day
After reading all the stuff, you bought it…????
Oh, maybe you didn’t read ¬¬
*facepalm*
Hello Gary,
Please check into your client area… you received your welcome email… we resent you a copy into your ticket.
Replying to the wrong person, halfwit.
Hahaha not only he bought it after all the bad review, he had to come here and ask for his panel cause they never freaking reply to their tickets lol that’s hilarious . That’s how they make their money, one month new users that don’t believe or know what a bad service mean till they try fastvps.co
wow Brian, you really say anything … I want an administrator removes the indiscriminate attacks of some people here.
Erik, I will post the statistic since 3 months ago here to be fair
I’m not making stuff up sir. Just look at all the comments
I’m not the only one!
It depends on which server you were, if you were on the server 20 or 10 is normal, we had many trouble with these servers … trouble with the hardware that the data center could not detect before the crash and trouble with spammers or other individual who used their VPS to attack thousands of servers or other who was attacked … but our other dozens of other servers had no problem …
Happiness is that now we have no more hardware problem (the servers at fault was changed) and indesirrable customers saw their accounts terminated quickly.
Erik, don’t talk crap. Pretty much every customer here has had trouble with your service. I’m sure that if we checked other forums, we’d find the same.
Are you seriously saying that every customer on here had the bad luck to be on one of your “bad” servers? And what about the two server and IP changes?
You can’t defend your service, it’s just bad. Your servers are overloaded, you can’t keep them online, and your customer service is terrible.
Brian,
You can think what you want!
Our customers are happy and that’s all that matters to us.
Our server are 100% online from either the move to Chicago or since the 2 ”badluck” servers have been changed and we see no sign that the servers are overloaded… so thank you and good day!
When most of this forum is complaining about your service and hosting reliability, KNOW that you have a problem rather than defending yourself. Customers are right. Work on your service and support and don’t show excuses to customers. Customers expect what they pay for. By the way I was laughing at Eric’s thousand of customers comment. Good luck with your company but I don’t see it in 2 years if you don’t do something good about it!
First you replied to someone else calling them Gary, and now you’re replying to me calling me Brian. Perhaps if you paid attention to detail then your business wouldn’t be such a joke.
Plenty of people had trouble now with your service. You blamed me saying I was overusing drive IO when in truth your server was overloaded/broken. If you knew anything you’d have seen that I wasn’t the cause of the iowait.
Keep defending it by all means, but I hope at the same time you’re actually doing something to improve things.
I suggest you guys stop arguing with the company and save energy, after reading all the comments seem you guys talking to a brick. Just leave the guy alone and stop using his bad service, apparently he is fighting with his most valuable assets, his customers.
hey my vps is down again it is not even online continouse for a month very bad service
Eric, I am a customer and I think FastVPS.co is GARBAGE! Uptime is almost 0, speed is 0, and customer support (you) is also 0.
Read my full review of them here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=8121527
By the way, I think FastVPS.co might already be dead because their main domain and solusvm panel is currently offline….
main site offline
vps No route to host
oh well
Shittiest host ever. Oh my god they drive me NUTS 24\7 off line they don’t know what the hell they are doing. Total bs. Stay away for sure
This is a joke. My data was gone 3 times with no answer from them , glad I left this joke and moved on. Declining all my credit card charges from them for a service that I never got. Just shut down this BS company, it’s too obvious as you can tell from all the customers that you ate a 19 years old kid trying to establish, you need lots of training and knowledge to gain Eric from IT to customer service, I suggest you listen to your parents and get back to school.
Still say I’m the only one who had a problem, Eric?
dear fastvps,
you had a problem in register and send a ticket the image does not Show please fix this
They have new administration, http://www.fastvps.co/forum/index.php?topic=1.0
But they’re still looking for someone familiar with telling arses apart from elbows.
thanks guys for the informations
I really doubt the new guy, Xabier, really exists… u.u
Yea.. whats the bet its really Eric trying to hide, knowing hes been caught out for criminal dealings…
And now he has taken down the forum, must have been too many honest negative comments for him to deal with…
Still have to wonder why it takes 4+ and counting days to add ~1000 IPs,
Come on Eric, sort ya sh!t out and restore our VPS or issue a refund. And answer your bloody tickets!
Indeed, when I saw the forum offline was like… we are fucked up
at least he should restore the vps one or two days to retrieve an updated version of the content (I have an updated backup of all my code but not all the content u.u)
mother of god… I’ve got the new VPS on france from fastvps… it’s the slower thing I’ve ever seen… I’ve been 20mins trying to login by ssh… when I be able to login, I’ll post here data about the node, but seems an overselled kemsirve

As I’ve said, looks like a kimsufi 24G: kimsufi.co.uk
Those servers only have 1HDD, so I’m doing a full backup before it crashes u.u
You got another VPS from him? Dude are you crazy lol.
On another note, I see the whole site is gone now as is the French node, which has been down for near 24 hours again.
Looks like this host has finally realized he is nothing but a crap ball and finally pulled the plug.
No, no, I didn’t, thats my “original” VPS, they finally migrate it to the france node, obviously I’m not crazy enought to buy another one lol
They still didn’t moved yours?
Nope not shifted yet and the VPS I do have in France is also still down.
Their site and SolusVM are down too..
Oh, and indeed it’s down, again, but it’s normal if you put all the VPSs on a shitty kimsufi
Up again, this time better (faster) than the last
LMFAO here’s an interesting one.
FastVPS site is not resolving (been this way all day) yet they still send me an invoice for a service terminated weeks ago.
Have to wonder how are they sending invoices when their systems are offline…
Pump and dumps still alive 😉
TFF and they charge “late fees” for unpaid invoices on terminated services.
Is it me or is fastvps france node the shittiest node ive ever used alongside the fact there solusvm is having “maintnance”
I had some emails to say they had problems with their solusvm, and then one to say their server had been suspended due to hacking.
Oh dear, on going to http://www.fastvps.co I see a page with a big error : “Critical Error: Could not connect to the database” —- and that is on their home page!
However, I can still get to my VPS on the SSH and all looks like it is running.
I only bought it as a learning package, I wasn’t planning to run FaceBook 2 off of it. It does seem very unreliable, but then I only paid $12 or so for the year. Certainly would not pay for one of their beefier packages at the moment.
Steven Harris: your lucky i’m still waiting for the details for my vps’s i have through them and its been two weeks that they have been offline now no emails no nothing
Same, I am also still waiting for the details though to be honest I really don’t expect them.
Personally I feel Eric aka Xabier is doing a runner. The whole FastVPS got sold thing I rekin is bullshit, its just a cover while Eric does a runner with your data.
It does NOT take 3 weeks to transfer containers from one node to another, nor to assign IP’s.
It’s all just an excuse to get past the 45 day period on charge backs…
Hello
well guys to be honest, I doubt it that these guys are making a run for it. I purchased 85 servers from them at a very good price 2 months ago and I’m very happy.. they gave my a whole dedicated server just for my vpses.. all my servers are still running perfectly but their website isn’t.. they’re a victim of some dirty A#####E host or something, they’ve been hammering their website with DDOS attacks and after the move to france they bought a dedicated server just for their website.. but apparently they’re still a victim of hacking attempts.. I still believe in them and think they’re the best host price-wise..
It does not take 3 weeks (and still counting) to shift ~1000 VPS, nor does it take 3 weeks (and counting) to assign IP’s. My VPS Chicago has not even been shifted yet, so ‘to be fair and honest’ these guys have done a runner, your 85 VPS’s will get shut off at the end of the billing period, hope you have a backup…
it’s been over a week since their website went offline.. I paid for a whole year for these servers!! what can I do now???
nothing you can do it seems they have screwed us all over and done a runner with our money
Just do a dispute on PayPal. If a good quantity of clients do this, we could get our money back.
