Is this pure SSD or SSD cached? Just want to clarify before ordering.
Submitted a sales ticket and they answered this question right away. It is pure SSD. Ordering a 2GB VPS plan now.
Hello Zach,
Thank you. To clarify for everyone else, you are correct, all of our nodes are powered by pure SSD installations with RAID10. No spinning drives here ;)

Do you offer WordPress install in the scripts?
Hello All. Thank you for sharing our offers. We are excited to be able to present our VPS, shared hosting and reseller hosting offers with the community.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask away! Also, if anyone is looking for something different, please send an email to sales@hostbrz.com for a Custom Deal :)

Thank you for the nice offer, but I would like to know do you have an offer for Master Reseller Hosting? I won’t need more than 20G storage / bandwidth, I just need my domains has it own WHM and dedi. IP. Thanks.
Guess they meant Hosting Brazil? No info about company on their sire under – About Us – tab.
Haha, good catch. We’ve been adjusting the page to reflect our mission, and will have it wrapped up soon. Since it isn’t service impacting we haven’t put priority on it. We will have it soon up, by the way we cater to all regions.
Cheers,
Elliot
Got a large virtual server in Chi-town. Not bad!
Welcome aboard :)
How come, when I go directy to the website, it shows the cost of RESELLER-LEB-1, as $9 per MONTH…not $2/qtr, or $9 a YEAR? Is it a special only offered if you click the link off this website? When I do that, it takes me immediately to a domain registration page, with no cost for the service I’m signing up for shown. Thanks.
Hello, these are special promotions created exclusively for LEB with custom order links. Please use the links below each plan to order the respective plan. These specials are not listed anywhere on our website as they are exclusive for LEB.
I don’t need large storage.
Can you offer:
2 CPU Core
2GB RAM
15GB SSD
100gb Bandwidth
OpenVZ
For $12/yr?
We can do that for $18 per year. Please e-mail sales@hostbrz.com if you would like to proceed.
awesome performance!!!
Hello Kevin, thank you for the kind words!
just bught a reseller hosting acct.. let see how it goes. on first check, load average is good :)
Thank…
Cheers Muhammad, Welcome!
If i need 5 IPS in VPS – send me price
Hello, additional IPs cost is $1.50/mo or $12/yr per additional IPv4 address :)
4x 8gb package = $28 surely overselled cpu, and how can you sustained for long run
Where did you see 4x 8gb package = $28?
It’s $75/yr.
These are limited quantity promotions we created for LEB, so it’s not like it’s going to be something we’re selling all day long forever. Our website pricing is actually far more expensive than these rates. I am sure if you give us a try you’ll absolutely love our performance and experience for yourself that it is not overloaded :)
Cheers,
Elliot
Hello,
Thank you for your affordable offers
Is the DDoS feature alive for all VPS plan? What’s the size, 20GB, 100GB?
BTW, can you offer a 512MB RAM plan?
Thanks,
Frederick
Hello Frederick, please contact us at sales@hostbrz.com to customize a plan for your needs :)
Cheers!
“Is the DDoS feature alive for all VPS plan?
What’s the size, 20GB, 100GB?”
Thanks.
Any ipv6?
Not at this very moment, sorry!
VPS, are you going to have New York or somewhere near Virginia soon?
Hello, we plan on expanding to New York later this year. Chicago should do the trick for you till then?
Cheers,
Elliot
I submitted a ticket yesterday and no reply yet. Is there a way to pre-pay for three years of reseller hosting or a way to get the same $9/year price next year at time of renewal?
Hello Alex,
We do not have any open tickets in our queue (“0 Ticket(s) Awaiting Reply”), we always stay on top of our ticket queue and answer tickets very quickly. Did you by any chance typo your email address when submitting the ticket? Please also check your spam folder, that could be another possibility?
Pricing does not go up, and you will be able to renew at the same rate. I just added the option to prepay for 3 years for that plan, you should see it now in the order form.
Cheers,
Elliot
Thanks very much! Going to buy three years.
Howdy,
Ordered a VPS plan, loving the fast speed! Quick question, since I currently have the server in Dallas, will I be able to order another one in Chicago later on? I guess my question is, is there a limit to how much I can order by location or anything?
If all goes well I should be needing some more.
Hello Alan, I’d like to thank you for ordering with HostBRZ and welcome you to a serene hosting experience :)
I am pleased to let you know that there is no limit to how many you can order.
Cheers!
Docker Support VPS-LEB-*?
Not at the moment!
Hello @HostBRZ Elliot ,,
which DC is better for Arab Gulf ( or middle east ) ?
http://www.jewishpress.com/wp-content/uploads/Map_of_Middle_East-wiki-commons-696×673.png
Hello, thanks for the interest! You can utilize the test IPs given in the main post and see which location provides you with the lowest latency. Dallas should probably be a safe bet :)
Cheers!
What is LVE limit for each cpanel account of reseller hosting plan?
1GB RAM per cPanel account.
Cheers,
Elliot
Is there DNS provided?
How do I point my domain to the VPS at HostBRZ? Do I just point to ns1.hostbrz.com & ns2.hostbrz.com? But that’s it? No standard DNS provided like DigitalOcean or Linode?
Hello, you would just need to point your domain’s ns1/ns2 entry to your VPS IP address, and install a DNS server on your VPS. We can assist you with setting up DNS on your server if needed.
Cheers
Eric, you should create custom DNS at your registrar. You just provide the IP address at your ns1. and ns2. addresses
Do you have restrictions on CPU use? What’s the CPU? Can we run at 100%? If so, do you create the ceiling automatically (e.g. out of a 3.5Ghz CPU, you give 50% max so we can run 1.75Ghz)?
Hello,
Our CPU policy is simply fair share. If there are ever any issues, we’ll let you know by e-mail. However, we run powerful 3.40 GHz + CPU’s so its almost never an issue!
Cheers,
Elliot
I’ll max it out and you let me know if its a problem then. Thanks.
Your VPS is KVM or OpenVZ?
These are powered by OpenVZ — minimizing overhead and maximizing performance!
Cheers,
Elliot
I got the 8gb special last night. SUPER blazing fast! I compliled php 7.2.8 in less than 15 minutes compared to 60+ on others I’ve had. Speed is really fast to serve pages and works awesome.
Hello,
Thank you for choosing us and for the positive words, I’m happy to see you’re enjoying the speeds! If you need anything just let us know!
Cheers!
I signed up for hosting. It’s so much better than I expected.
Well, that’s a good thing! Let us know if you need any assistance.
Welcome aboard :)
How long does it typically take for them to be activated? The knowledgebase says it is instant, but in our case 2 hours later it still is in a “Pending” state.
Hello,
Should be instantly created, if this is not the case feel free to contact our support team and we’ll resolve it quickly either way!
Cheers,
Elliot

If i buy the 8GB monthly on 7$/month, once the promotion will be over will i pay the regular price or will 7$ per month stay forever ?
stay forever I think.
It will stay forever :)

Do you have a backup solution available through the solusvm panel for the vps packages?
No I think. But I truly hope they do have.
Sure, we can enable quick backup feature for you upon request :)
Offer looks very good, I am looking at the SHARED-LEB-1. I have a question, is the specified price valid just for the this year (2018), or also for the years after – after purchasing the service?
Thanks!SHARED-LEB-1

recurring
Thanks for answering and helping out here Frederick – the prices are recurring :)

When will this special promotions end?
Was this company founded this year or even recently? Or previously known as another company?
Yes, the domain hostbrz.com has been registered for 8 years, but when I check the cPanel license and WayBackMachine. These seem to be indicating that this company has just started their business not too long ago.
The cPanel license of hostbrz.com was activated a week ago (active on 2018-07-15 00:41:52), previously they activated a 15-DAY one on 2018-06-29 15:01:00
WayBackMachine history on MARCH 13, 2018 (https://web.archive.org/web/20180313232540/hostbrz.com)
Maybe I’m overthinking but is HostBRZ a new company or previously known as another company?
Is openvpn allowed?
It will work with leb? For vps?
I just tried openvpn for personal use and i am continuously getting errors. Again tried installing openvpn access server and cant bypass that login page. Never had same issue with any vps. So if you are planning for a vpn then becareful. BTW i am trying to connect from India.
Hello,
Yes, OpenVPN is allowed and plenty of our customers use our services as a VPN.
Ravindra, you’ll want to make sure TUN/TAP and PPP are enabled. Those modules are what OpenVPN requires to function properly. You can enable those modules within the SolusVM panel.
Cheers,
Elliot
Any KVM VPS plans?
Hi There,
are this bandwith monthly?
For your kind update many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Yes, the bandwidth resets every month.

Hello! I have some questions!
are the ip reachable from within china?
are the ips blacklisted by netflix?
is it possible to get a new IP ressigned if it gets blocked?
I’ve waited a while to comment on this company to check their packages out. Wait, this came out wrong. Anyway, I was in need of cheap hosting because after my project is finished, it will remain unchanged for the next decade(s).
VPS is not really an option any more. I’ve tried many providers and they all worked pretty well, but the setting up and maintenance is something I now prefer to leave up to the hoster. So then this provider popped up in my news stream and decided to see how they worked and especially how everything works.
I have two packages, the SHARED-LEB-2 and SHARED-LEB-3. Both work equally fast. I ran into a few snags while setting thing up. Really simple issues, one not being able to add credit, that I required SSH access and that I had an odd PHP thing happening. Everything got dealt with swiftly and adding an extra option is totally not a problem. I want this, they send invoice, I pay and it’s there.
The control panel is from cPanel, something I have not worked with before. My previous panels were Webmin and CentOS Webpanel. I had to get used to it, but it’s properly confugured and you have access to the scripts by Softalicious which saves a lot of time with setting up websites. The only thing that i’m missing is that one cannot “lock” a website from core file alterations that you can do in CentOS WP. I hav not transferred a beast of a website yet, but gemerally the websites are loading fast for me.
Keep doing what you are doing. I have long experience with hosters and you’re doing it right. Thanks.
Hello,
Thank you for the detailed review and for the feedback! We will ensure you remain a satisfied customer :)
Cheers,
Elliot
I say what the heck, for $5 a year bought SHARED-LEB-2. Uploaded/downloaded 100meg zip and very pleased with speed.
Not something that would stop me, but offer says 2TB Bandwidth. Fact is, cPanel shows less allowed @ 1.91 TB per month. Not being picky, only stating the facts:)
Hello,
If you need cheap hosting / cheap VPS. Then don’t worry to take this promotion. Even if you pay less but their server and their support is amazing. You will be happy to use HostBRZ ;)
Next, i will placed new order again for VPS :D
Thank you HostBRZ
Hello,
Thank you Fino, it’s greatly appreciated for sure :)
We try our best to provide the best service at the best possible prices.
Cheers,
Elliot
Hi! Can you provide 5-10 additional ips/vps? If yes, for how much?
Hello Rares, additional IPs cost is $1.50/mo or $12/yr per additional IPv4 address :)
Cheers,
Elliot
How are the IP’s used for VPS in terms of email blacklisting?
Snagged a package 7 days ago and so far they have rock solid service and support but they are only running 2.6.xx kernel for VPS (kernel 4.17 is the latest as of this post) and you can’t upgrade your kernel so if your software installation requires something higher, it won’t work. Just FYI.
They are perfect! I don’t know if I can renew at this price? I get RESELLER-LEB-1 $9/yr. Can I renew at this price?
Yes, you can renew at the same price!
Cheers,
Elliot
Today I tried to purchase the $12 plan from HostBRZ. Exactly 1 hour after my order confirmation, I got an email from Elliot stating my order was flagged and I needed to send them a picture of me holding my ID and credit card. Has anyone else gotten this? Been shopping online for over 18 years and never had this kind of request.
Not pleased about this run around from HostBRZ. Seriously they want me to “prove” who I am by sending them a picture of what they deem to be valid proof and insurance against fraud. If I were a scammer then you can bet I’d photoshop an ID and credit card along with my super happy smiling face. Ridiculous.
Hi James,
We are not going to risk losing our reputation with our credit card merchant, and a $20 chargeback fee over a $12 transaction. Let me know how you want to proceed here.
Regards,
Elliot M.
HostBRZ, Sales Manager.
https://www.hostbrz.com/
My Reply:
Looks like you lost a customer. I’m not sending you a picture of anything. I’m definitely going to look into reporting your company to the BBB. You should be up front about this crap before accepting credit cards online. I suppose when my Discover card gets used fraudulently in the future I can rest assured knowing it couldn’t possibly be the reputable company that I just submitted it to online, who then refused to sell to me after submitting it.
What’s the big deal here? It’s not uncommon at all to have providers ask for verification, especially on credit card transactions.
To me, just by the way you’re communicating, I can already tell you probably do have something to hide, and there’s another side of the story here you’re not telling.
(FWIW, I am not a customer of HostBRZ yet. I am just giving my 2 cents working in CS in the telecom industry myself. I tend to be able to spot a “client from hell” very easily by reading communication).
Hello,
Sorry about the trouble here James, unfortunately your order details triggered some red flags within our system which prompted for further verification.
If you wish to order with discrepancies or red flags within your details without complying with verification procedures, then I would suggest paying by cryptocurrency.
We went ahead and issued a full refund for you in the meantime.
Cheers,
Elliot
You go ahead and send your picture, ID and credit card details over email. Talk about red flags. I cannot even find any company info for HostBRZ. Their WHOIS is not public. No address, company details, anything. You think I’m a bad customer because I don’t want to expose myself to poor security and shady business practices? Do you really think if I was an identity thief then I would spend more than 30 seconds trying to make a false transaction? My guess is you work for this group of yahoos. I say group because I cannot find any company information about them so my guess is good as anyone’s.
I would challenge HostBRZ to indicate what these red flags are, exactly. The only thing I could possibly fathom, is that ordering while at work on a VPN my recorded IP was nowhere near my Home Address on the geolocator. But then again, my ISP gives me an IP that shows 20+ miles from my home, so maybe it wouldn’t matter even if I was home when ordering.
Anyway, if anyone has any company details I would love to see them. Sure seems like they are hiding. I gave them my name, address, phone #, and CC number – and at the end of the day I have no hosting but they still have my information. I’m not the one hiding anything. I have never once been asked to provide photo ID, instore or otherwise, when purchasing anything with a credit card. In fact when I purchase instore and it’s less than $50, I don’t even have to sign. I logged into my credit card statement, and the pending transaction just shows HostBRZ. So even that won’t help me figure out who they are.
Thanks for your reply Anthony. I hope anyone seeing this realizes that your response is very convenient, and that it is certainly not typical to be requested to email a picture of myself holding my ID and CC, and that just because you say it’s typical doesn’t mean it is.
Potential buyer beware.
Some light reading for those who think emailing a photo with ID and CC is a good idea.

Can you provide information about:
I/O Usage, IOPS Limit, Entry Processes Limit?
RESELLER-LEB-3
For Shared/Reseller hosting:
Do you offer free migration?
Thanks.
Do you accept BTC?
Thanks.
Let me share my experience with HostBRZ.
I have opened account with them couple of months ago and purchased a year subscription for a VPS.
Upon bringing up the server I realized the it is using extremely old kernel and it is not possible to install docker on it or upgrade that kernel(limitation on their side).
Since that is requirement for my application I decided to cancel the service (that happened the same day, couple of hours latter).
I requested a refund, since I have the right for it.
Two months have passed and I have not received my funds yet.
I have sent numerous emails and support tickets with no action from the other side.
They even deleted my account from their support system and stopped responding to my emails.
So keep that in mind if you decide to open an account with them.
BR,
Dimitar
I am interested to buy SHARED-LEB-2 package .My Question is that after buying this pack how many emails i can send to my customers daily per hour .If any limits please response me soon .
Their shared hosting server is quite frequently down. Now, I got some 24 accounts on it and all I got it regret.
This doesn’t sound good. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. I was considering one, but right now I’m gonna back off.
Your style is very unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff from. Thanks for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I will just book mark this page.
I purchased 7$ per month package of 8GB VPS, nearly six months ago.
https://lowendbox.com/blog/hostbrz-vps-shared-reseller-hosting-from-2-year/
There were frequent downtimes but i continued to use until about five six months. After that i was unable to checkout with my regular card from which i have been paying since the start. So tried generating invoices to add funds and pay them but nothing worked. I asked their support nobody responded on the ticket.
So i thought this was it, I switched to another provider, cancelled my service and removed my card from my account.
After a month, they charged me with three invoices of 10$ 10$ and 15$ without my permission and misused my card, despite removing my card from my HostBRZ account. This transaction was done on the exact same time when a support guy responded on my earlier ticket.
So basically they did a fraud and scammed me by misusing my card without my permission and never deleted information from their system.
After that i reported on their support, generated a ticket for it.
Few days ago, they responded that they would refund in 7 days as i read email notification. Exactly after reading email, I tried to login my account there, it does not work anymore. Nor i am able to recover it from my email.
They misused my credit card without my permission and abused it with 35$ charges which had nothing to do with my 7$ per month service charges.
Can anyone help me report this scam to a bigger authority ?
You can always ask for more details from me on crossysaad@gmail.com
Really Good information dear.I would like to know about reseller hosting .If i buy reseller hosting of $2 per year is it compatible to make money from adsense .
I don’t think to make money from AdSense has anything to do with your hosting as long as you don’t exceed your bandwidth limit.
Do someone have any live contacts with them? Because can’t even open their website https://www.hostbrz.com/ Thanks!
It’s just unacceptable if the simplest service, their website, is inaccessible.
They just closed down? No announcements whatsoever?
I bought 4 VPS with a 3-year plan from them. Needless to say, I have been scammed.
