Via this WHT offer. It has been 2 months since their last offer, and Hostitek has brought in their LA-based budget VPS line that starts from $16/year for 160MB/320MB memory, 20GB disk, 500GB/month data OpenVZ VPS (sign up link). That’s the hosting plan I guess most here would be interest for, although their domain was only registered in March this year — too new for me to trust in their annual payment offers. However they also offer other budget VPS packages with monthly billing. For example “VZ1” is at $3/month, which you can order here directly.
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 40GB storage
- 1000GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers in HostNOC/BustNET’s DC in Los Angeles (test IP: 184.82.225.2). PayPal seems to be the only payment method. Hostitek is a Taiwanese web design/development company (Chinese website here) that was founded in 2007.

Their VZ1 package is out of stock :o
ALL of their LA VPS are out of stock.
So it seems.
So he/she made a post in WHT just to show he or she is out of stock in LA? :)
Errr. Their WHT post was a few days ago. When I made the post the stock seems to be still available…
Hehe! Sure, I realised that was probably the reason. My previous post was just my silly attempt of trying to be funny :)
WBR
they only have following available vps plan(LEB spec.) according to WHT:
—————————————————-
[Denver / LasVegas] Premium VPS Plans
——————————————————-
VZ1:
* Disk Space: 25GB
* Bandwidth: 250GB
* Guaranteed RAM: 128MB
* Burstable RAM: 256MB
* CPUs: 2.0G 1Cores
* IP Addresses: 1
$3.75/month Order Denver: https://my.hostitek.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=17
$3.75/month Order LasVegas: https://my.hostitek.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=22
Ha. That would be a bite and switch. Those Denver plans are similar to the ones they previously advertised here. So it looks like they have released a very small amount of budget plans to attract interest of their other (more expensive) offers.
$ 16 / year if there is, do not know someone to buy it? This is a Taiwan.
Can OPENVPN or similar be installed?
what a performance!
the same with me ::::(
Keep away from this provider.
as i reported the issue, they simply answered that
Disk io test are shared resource , server’s load will affect the test results.
In addition to test data, do you have any problems in the vps ?
oh, yeah, i get what i pay for :(((((
DiskIO is pretty shonky with this provider. Memory, CPU & Bandwidth seem pretty good though.
Sounds like they need to boot off whoever the offender is ASAP…
their site is down now, gone.
Their site is up now, alive.
don’t lie, it was never up.
@mike (or was it John, or Linda??) — their site has been alive, as far as my tracking is concerned.
Do note that they are behind CloudFlare’s reverse proxy. So you might have issues with the CloudFlare node that you have connected to (time out for example), and the timeout result was cached for your geographical area.
Whereas for Joe (and myself as well) it would appear to be up through the whole time.
I have a brother John has one vps, my 14 year of sister has one vps,
Their Denver server has been down for more than 12hours, and now it’s up without any explanation.
So when your server is down as well as their own site, what would you thtink? :)
I was the one recommended to my siblings and they’re blaming me now.
their supports look so funny. It seems that they do not care whether the boxes they sold work or not :)
If you consider this provider, just email me, I give you one for free,
I am you will stay with such buls!t boxes a day or two..
i can’t login to solusvm. it just keeps loading then firefox will pop an error:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
I have an LA vps and it is fast for the first week. I’m using it for openvpn server. The signal is not good. I’m getting packet lost alot. Then after that, it just seem that its super slow until i can’t even use it…
They’re LA server is at burstnet? right? so does that means bursnet sucks??
I’m gonna avoid this provider
@jay,
If you paid using Paypal, please raise a claim.
I am doing that right now then HostItek just suspended my VPS and they asked me to stop my claim.
We need to help our community against such providers.
Hi,
Please listen to my explain.
Our LA server in BurstNET datacenter, it experienced some problems(Packet loss 50% ~ 100% ) in August.

When the packet loss, some users keep reboot or dd test , server high load and can’t work .
Thank you.
Yeah, I once thought about that and as my vps could not run for my website, I have been waiting… for two weeks. But I alter all realize that my HostItek VPS could not support just one website using wordpress and running on debian and Nginx.
As I have a problem with my HostItek VPS which has an IO speed at only 4.5MB/s, HostItek suggest me to consider a Dedicated Server. That means HostItek understand their VPS boxes are so bad. I am just not sure how can they keep selling their such unqualified products. This is in US, not in China or Taiwan.
I love US/China/Taiwan .
But , what about come from?
@tinyray: Wow, such a racist comment when half of what you are using are probably made in China.
@LEA: I really think comments like this should be removed from LEB.

This is your note in paypal claim.
As a standard requirement for a VPS to serve web hosting, a minimum IO speed at 50MB per second should be satisfied.I am sorry about that , you have unreasonable demands in Budget VPS.
We maintain the stability of server, but many factors that beyond our control.
Hey,
Did you look at the test I did a day latter, please see my previous post in this thread and the one from Mike as I attached. It is clearly that things went worse day by day. That is exactly what @jay mentioned, in this thread too.

I made many tests after that since my website could not work with your VPS but I had not posted here because I am afraid that people may get tired with such weird things.
Hi,
I have explained the causes and propose solutions.
But , you can’t accept .
Hope you find the right VPS .
Thank you.
What you proposed is too choose a VPS in either Scranton (East Coast) or Kansas (inland) while I once bought the VPS to target users in Singapore. Are you kidding me?
What you have been treating me just proves that HostItek is just an unprofessional and untrusted provider. You remind me much of Godaddy.
I think you guys at HostItek need to see how a 128OVZ VPS at buyVM perform, attached.

Thanks for the post, Sam,
I am sure hostitek is the only one provider with VPSs of io speeds at just around 10M/s. I once prayed my HostItek to keep having one at 25MB/s so that the images and sql data can be loaded synchronously but that never comes truth.
So sorry to annoy people here with my issue. I am really tired. Whatever the decision PP makes, I stop.
hey dude, any updates?
Whoooops

Some Iranian kids had too much time and replaced index. I assume their main website is hosted on a shared cPanel hosting with exec() enabled.
Hostitek client panel is down …
Hmm, VPS Manager down, Node down, VPS offline ;/
Ticket already open for atleast 9h, no response …
Poor service, they closed my box without warning despite paying all months.
All my data on it were lost and no response by their tecnical support. They only close the tickets I openned.
