Seref, from Hosthink, has emailed us their first offer to LowEndBox and we’re in for a treat! I believe this is the first time we have ever listed an offer from Turkey and the specifications certainly don’t disappoint.
VZ – VZ-1024
|
Hosthink have been around since 2010 and were formed in response “to the growing web hosting industry”. They use Dell servers for their VPS nodes, which come equipped with the following specifications: RAID10 with BBU, Xeon Processors, Dell chassis and SSD Disks connected to a 1Gbps uplink. Seref also states in the ticket that if this plan is not suitable for you, then they can provide a customized plan tailored to your needs. If you’ve had an experience with them, please let us know in the comments about it!
On there website, it states that they offer a huge choice of operating systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora and OpenSUSE. At present, they cannot offer IPv6 but each VPS comes with 1 IPv4 address. At present, they’re only accepting payments via PayPal and Liberty Reserve, and they have a 3 day money back guarantee. For further information, the following PDF’s may be of interest: Terms and Conditions, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and finally their Acceptable Usage Policy.
Network Information:
Servers are located at the Radore Telecom’s datacenter in Istanbul, Turkey (Europe).

The test file link is the offer is incorrect (the URL is displayed correctly but the underlying link is incorrect)
2 Problems… 1. the LEBSPECIAL promo code is 1-month only, 2. they charge a 6% payment processing fee so even the first month is over the $7 LEB limit. See below
<"hosthink checkout"
Promotional Code: LEBSPECIAL – $3.00 USD One Time Discount
Don't use Promotional Code
Subtotal: $9.95 USD
$3.00 USD One Time Discount: $3.00 USD
Online Payment Fee @ 6.00%: $0.42 USD
Total Due Today: $7.37 USD
Total Recurring: $10.55 USD Monthly
I can confirm that.
@spirit, been fixed :)
@Liam, pls see this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=N3KKrU9U
It looks like they’re cheating with the download file too.
Sorry about the fee and the promo code mistakes. Fixed and ready :)

No smaller containers? 128 or 256mb ram? That would be nice.
Thank you. We will consider that for our future deals.
Smaller plan will be interesting.
+1 a 256 would be awesome :)
I would certainly buy a 256 plan, with a good yearly price.
New year LowEndTalk deal ? :)
Will consider that and try to offer 256 plan with a good yearly price. It looks like new year promo will be good for everyone :)
Nice!
Hi,
We created 256MB plan for LEB :) I do not know is it free to share product link there. If it is okay, please let me know.
I don’t think that would be a problem.
Then, our 256MB plan :)

just ordered!
Thanks!
Glad too see some offers from Turkey ! keep going
Thanks!
Hmm since servers are located in Turkey I wonder if they ignore DMCA since it only applies to USA
Ruriko,
Sorry but we cannot ignore DMCA.
you just lost a customer, i buy bulk servers and cluster them together, you lost around 1500 USD per month
Hello,
we are offer DMCA-ignore hosting in two localities. Can you contact me? support@uplink.cz.
Thanks
Won’t matter much with a US or UK owned company running a data center in a different country
We cannot ignore DMCA, if related company has an office in Turkey. If anyone has spesific project for this, we will check and inform.
Turkey is not a wild west or some sort lawless heaven for warez etc stuff. Intellectual property is protected here by law and it is strictly enforced.
The test link is using gzip compression.
good spot, Ben!
their ‘test’ file redirect to a https version where you are server a highly compressible file!
their 100MB test files can be gzipped to a 5MB file. Considering the redirect to the http version with gzipped compression i’d call this a cheat, and suggest a banning from LEB/LET
logs here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=N3KKrU9U
did an additional check, and they are serving a gzipped version of their test file:
Our test link is given under our website folder. Because of that gzip is active. That is not a cheat or fraud.
Also, test file and test ip is optional.
If anyone needs to check test file, they can check it from, http://hosthink.org/100mb.bin too. If there is a problem, Liam will inform us.
I signed up a few minutes ago. Provisioning was instant and for the dd fans: the SSD drive’s in/out is a fast 597 MB/s. 2 E3-1270 cores throttled at 50% each.
Ping times from the VPS to: New York 144ms (me), Los Angeles 211ms (Colocrossing DC), Amsterdam 46ms (euNetworks DC), Milan 64ms (Uncle Sal’s DC), Falkenstein, Germany 56ms (Hetzner DC12)
Sayfa @ Radore in Istanbul?
Bad expirience with their incoming BW, out is good but in is always horrible due to TTNets horrible overcongestion on incoming paths (well of course, due to the home customers)…
William,
As you know that TTnet invest in Invitel and some other providers. They are improving their connection and accessing. We did not face any problem with them (ex. fibre cuts)
No special offer when i click order link. When i choose Turkey – only dedicated servers are available to order
Din,

Nice to see a LEB offer from Turkish company.
Say hello to R10 :)
SolusVM assigned wrong IP, but was promptly corrected by customer support.
Good service, good price.
+1
Good service, good price and good performance. I’m so satisfied. I want to write something for Turkish people in Turkish.
Arkadaşlar eminim bu blogu takip eden Türkler de vardır ve İngilizce yorumları incelemekte zorluk çekiyordur. Türkiye lokasyonlu bir sunucu kampanyalandırılmışken Türkçe bir yorum yazayım dedim. Sunucu gayet sağlam. Şu an Samsun’dayım ve normal bir ADSL(Superonline) bağlantısına sahibim. Ping 28-30 larda dolaşıyor. Kendi bandımın genişliğine yakın bir download-upload hızıyla dosya çekip upload edebiliyorum. Uptime la ilgili bir sorun da yaşamadım ama henüz yeniyim. O yüzden bu konuda bir garanti-tecrübe sahibi değilim. Ücret olarak da Türkiye lokasyonlu bulunabilecek en uygun sunucu. Ufak çaplı oyun-radyo-web sunucu kurup satan arkadaşlar için biçilmiş kaftan olduğuna inanıyorum. Eğer isterseniz, bu yoruma cevap verin, dilediğini test verilerini paylaşabilirim.
