Florida VPS - $6.99 512MB OpenVZ VPS in Tampa

Florida VPS Christopher from Florida VPS emailed me some info about the OpenVZ/KVM VPS hosting services they have just opened. Domain has just been registered a few days ago for “flvps.net” with a WordPress-powered website that does not even have a logo. However they are also part of Pinellas Hosting, which has been around since 2004 and has “22 Combined Years’ experience” between its owners.

At $6.99/month there are actually two different choices — OpenVZ or KVM, where OpenVZ plan has more resource on paper (as obviously it’s easier to oversell maximize server efficiency with OpenVZ).

  • 256VPS KVMSignup Link
  • 256MB memory
  • 25GB storage
  • 100GB/month data transfer
  • KVM

or

  • 512VPS OpenVZSignup Link
  • 512MB memory
  • 50GB storage
  • 200GB/month data transfer
  • OpenVZ

NOTE: VPS plan says $6.99 for 256MB KVM, but WHMCS says $9.99. Originally I emphasised on the KVM offer for this blog post, and I think it would be fixed soon.

Servers with Hivelocity in Tampa FL, and Chris claimed that “our support department has access to our servers within 5 minutes of our physical address”. For KVMs you can also run various xBSD and Windows (extra license fee required). IRC is not allowed according to AUP/ToS.

      Florida is very limited: BurstNET in Miami, DimeNOC in Orlando, Hivelocity in Tampa and GoRack in Jacksonville.

  4. I;m amazed no one has spoken out about their ToS/AUP:

    FL VPS reserves the right to check system files, email, and other data on our servers for illegal content and materials, or for any other reasons deemed necessary.

    I know having a host look through your files is a concern for many. I don’t recall having them have access to your email though before. That’s a new one.

    They do get a +1 though for the “Any spam gets dealt, here or elsewhere with” clause. That idea seems to escape a few providers here.

    The Share the Love plugin is very much out of place on their site. It’s even on their ToS/AUP page….

      • Cheap really equates quality (sarcasm, of course) that’s why a lot of your $7 for over a gigabyte of RAM providers are sinking faster than the Titanic right now

        Seems like the “cheap” providers on here go belly up rather quickly.

        See also: W2Servers, eNetsouth’s $7 offer, vpscheap.info, etc.

        Once enough folks get burned by making decisions on their money, rather than the company background, the extra few dollars may be worth it

    • For some reason *all* your comments were celaasfied as spams by Akismet…

      • Thank you.

        On some of my personal website projects, Cloudflare has worked so good I don’t really rely on Akismet anymore

  6. Skype has opened up its internet-dependent client beta
    towards the entire world, soon after establishing it broadly from the United states and U.K.
    before this four weeks. Skype for Internet also now can handle Linux and Chromebook for instant
    online messaging interaction (no video and voice but,
    those demand a plug-in set up).

    The expansion of your beta adds assist for an extended set of different languages to aid
    bolster that international user friendliness
