PayPal or credit cards are accepted. Servers in Dallas TX with SoftLayer (test IP: 74.86.173.2). FuseVPS is a new brand established in January this year, and is by part of the web dev/web solution team running FinerHosting (since 2004). They also have an SLA guaranteeing the uptime. From ToS
If we do suffer any network downtime, customers will be reimbursed 10% of their monthly hosting bill per every hour of downtime.
While there’s no burstable memory included + only 150GB/month of data, the pricing looks “sane” — some might argue “expensive” and used ClubUptime as comparison, but we know what happened to that company.

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.
And supposedly 123Systems has the same ToS…
Nice inclusion in the terms of service. 10 hours downtime == free month?
Actually 11 hours, since they charge 5% as a handling charge for dealing with the credit via a support ticket. Subject to the terms of their SLA, which I cant see linked anywhere obvious on their website, and neither can Google.
Either way Im sure it’ll exclude most causes of downtime, if it doesnt then that’d be a sign to run away ;)
Wait, they charge a fee for all SLA claims?

Arf, my bad. Thats for refunds to Paypal (no problem there), not for adding credit to an account.
Surely that’s criminal?
Charging you for their problems?
You can’t charge for paypal fees, period.
Paypal will bust your balls if you do that.
They should get 30+ days to refund a single payment, meaning they can simply view your latest payment (assuming monthly) and refund whatever part of it without any fees.
Francisco
But a lot of business charge you the Paypal fees =S
You can charge a fee very easily. Your pricing is cash pricing, and all other payments are assessed a fee of X to convert it to a cash equivalent.
@Yomero most companies probably just include it in the normal price, maybe just charge a bit more or make a slightly less profit margin to live with it.
My accountants tell me that’s illegal here in the US although looking at all those extra taxes on cigarettes and booze, I have to wonder if it does happen.
Not that I buy those two things of course….
Yes, I guess they consider it in the total price, but some companies write explicitly that will refund discounting a “transaction cost” or something like that.
…”repackaging fees“…
Yep, good example :|
never gave me what i ordered and wont issue a refund. very rude customer service that basically said i am sol on it. giving them one week more to refund before i contact paypal about the fraud that they are doing or my bank to get a refund issued
They’ve already told you ‘no’…
…and you’ve going to wait an additional week?
Maybe going ahead and filing the complaint with Paypal or your bank now would be a good idea?
