Welcome, FlipperHost!  We haven’t featured them in LowEndBox for quite a while.  They contacted us to say it’s been far too long, and we agree!  They’ve got some great deals for us in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlana.

• $29.99 gets you a full year of a 2GB VPS with 5TB transfer!
• Or for $44.99, get a full year of a 4GB VPS with 8TB transfer!

Not sure which to go for?  If you workload is a little more CPU-intensive, I’d recommend KVM.  If what you’re doing just needs a datacenter point of presence for a lot of network, go for OpenVZ.  Or contact FlipperHost (live chat on their home page) and ask for a recommendation.

Learn more on their web site, and be sure to review their terms, AUP, and SLA.  They accept 2Checkout, Paypal, Credit Cards (All Types), Alipay, Unionpay, Yandex.Money, Boleto Brasil, WebMoney, QIWI and Bitcoin.
