Andrew, from Forthcloud, sent in an e-mail with an offer for LowEndBox readers. ForthCloud was founded over a year ago and is a registered business in the state of Nevada. Their business registration information can be found here. Unlike many other offers, this one uses Parallels Virtuozzo, rather than OpenVZ, Xen or KVM. The result of this is that no SolusVM is being used, but the Parallels Panel. There will be at least 4 pieces of each piece of data distributed across their cloud system, which Andrew tells me provides more security than RAID10. Nodes are self-healing, which means there is an automated fail-over system in place. ForthCloud is going to get their own ASN and IPs soon, so that may indicate an upcoming IP renumbering. All hardware in the US is owned; hardware in the UK is rented. As usual, leave your reviews and remarks in the comments!
The offer
- 512MB RAM
- 512MB vSwap
- 120GB Disk space
- Fair-share bandwidth Bandwidth
- 1Gbps uplink
- 1x IPv4 address
- 16x IPv6 address
- Virtuozzo/Parallels Panel
- $5/month or $48/year
- Order here
Forthcloud accepts payments via Paypal, and credit cards via 2CheckOut. Their host nodes run dual Intel Xeon Quad/Hex core CPUs, at least 72GB of RAM, and SSDs + HDDs. For more information, have a read of their Terms of Service and their Service Level Agreement.

Did meant unmetered BW typo?
Indeed. It should be “Fair-share Unmetered Bandwidth”
Probably Mr.Typo go away for a while ;)
How much bandwidth is “Fair-share bandwidth Bandwidth” per month?
It’s a 1Gbps port.
I ordered this deal about 8 hours ago and I have no idea how to access my VPS. Can’t even login to their support area as it won’t take the username and password I signed with. The only email I have received is the 2Checkout payment confirmation.
Hello, can you please send an email to office@forthcloud.com, so we can sort it immediatel. Thanks.
Hello TeeDev,
Thank you for ordering. You may login to the control panel here https://secure.forthcloud.com/cp
My bad. There were about 7 emails in my junk folder with the details (sorry, I was hopping on and off planes while ordering)
We have a few benchmarks submitted for ForthCloud: https://www.petabyet.com/search/forthcloud/
Please, stop spamming your site here!
+100000
+ Another useless number to show my support for not constantly posting this site.
And you need a windows version @PetaByet
Honestly, the support I received from these guys is IMMENSE. Ticket responses within 5 or 10 minutes. Fixes within a further 5 or 10 minutes. 5 stars!
And the server is quick, flexible and fully featured. Very happy indeed!
But guys, all your emails go to spam (I’ve now created a rule to prevent this but Gmail warns “many users have indicated this was spam” so you might want to look into whatever is causing that reputation issue)
We will take a look at this.
Thank you!
Guys I am trying to order a few UK yearly cloud packages but when I select the OS the next page times out:
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Do these have Plesk Panel as part of the Virtuozzo/Parallels Panel so clients can have their own control panel?
Thanks
Parallels Power Panel is included for free. As we are a Parallels NOC, we can offer Plesk Panel (10 domains) for $3.3/month.
Very nice indeed, but
how is the connection to Australia from US and UK?
I basically need a good US, England, Australia connection
Is there any address to ping or a test download?
Please use our UK looking glass: http://188.227.165.116/, the USA looking glass will be set up shortly.
Hello, I have decided to sign up with you after all :)
which data-center would be better for US-UK connection (both are important for me), UK looking glass is off so i cant check the ping.
thank you
Hello vladimir,
Here is the US looking glass: http://162.245.223.101/
Both locations have excellent connection, if you live in Australia I would suggest the US location as the ping is much better than UK.
Thanks.
sorry to bother again but by mistake I ordered the UK location (I dont even remember seeing a location selector :/), can something be done about this.
Hello,
You can open a ticket about this in https://secure.forthcloud.com/cp and we will sort it out.
And here we go: USA looking glass http://162.245.223.101/
ping from AUS is 240+ :(
Too bad, really attractive offers
Thanks for your interest. If there’s anything else that I can help you feel free to let me know.
Your offer here states 120GB hdd while the link to the website states 20GB.
