Jonathan from HostMyBytes is back with a new offer for us! Their offer is available in 2 locations across the USA which include Los Angeles, CA and Buffalo, NY. This is their first ever SSD offer so we hope you enjoy.
Here’s what they had to say:
“HostMyBytes was born out of necessity, and today is well over three years old. We created HostMyBytes to fill our own needs for excellent hosting services. Then we decided to share our vision, processes and high standards with the world. Web hosting is what HostMyBytes does, and we strive to do it consistently better than any other company.”
***Want a freebie? Well you got it, they stated our readers just need to open a ticket after your order, mention you’re from LEB, and they will provide you with an extra 1TB of monthly bandwidth on any plan that you order, so long you mention you’re from LEB***

HostMyBytes started offering VPS services last year (2014). Jonathan told us that they have over 1,000 active customers and that they are growing fast. For those interested, their WHOIS information is public. HostMyBytes supports payment through PayPal, Credit Cards and Bitcoin. They offer a 30-day refund guarantee to all new customers, so it is fairly safe to try their service. An interesting note, their support statistics is shown in their about page.

Hi Zhang! I see that this is an affiliate payout request, which are automatically scheduled to reopen for processing following the end of a fiscal quarter (January, April, July, October). In order to make it simpler for accounting and easier to understand for everyone, we process affiliate payouts in batches, four times per year, at the end of each fiscal quarter. Please note that this structure and schedule was also made aware to you prior for you signing up to our Affiliate Program.
Thanks so much and we’ll be in touch!

Hi there, can you take a look at ticket # 228309? I ordered an instance after seeing the ad on LEB and ran into an error with openvpn. The support ticket was initially opened on 7/4 at 10pm. There was a simple acknowledgement almost 48 hours later (compared to the promise of 60 minute response on support tickets). In addition, the ticket was closed several days later without any additional response beyond that.
What happened? Is this the norm?
Hostmybytes is the worst hoster ever! Be careful.
Can’t create 15CPUs server.
Admin panel doesn’t dork :(
PS
No free US location.
Just ordered one in Buffalo! Already have some HDD VPS’s with HMB for almost a year, can’t tell you how glad I am to see them finally offering SSD!
So far so good! Seems very speedy, good performance.

Thank you for the offers!

Docker support?
Hi Thanga! Docker is not intended to be run on these plans. Contact sales for a custom quote on a KVM VPS which does :)

sweet deals. can i order a 1gb plan and upgrade to the 6gb later? Dont think i need that much resources right now. let me know.. thanks!
Hi Damian! Yes, no problem. You should be able to upgrade that in the client area, but if you need help locating that feel free to contact sales and they can point you towards the right direction :)

Be careful of this business, there is a possibility of running. It has already begun to default on Affiliate Withdrawal, and the general business is closing.
We have been in business for well over four years and have no plans on going anywhere! Web hosting is all that we do, so we are definitely not going to be “closing.” Also, if we were closing, I don’t think we would have expanded to start offering SSD VPS specials here :)
As far as our Affiliate Payouts, payouts will occur on the 15th of the month following the end of a fiscal quarter (January, April, July, October). In order to make it simpler for accounting and easier to understand for everyone, we process them in batches, four times per year, at the end of each fiscal quarter. Please note that this structure and schedule was also made aware to you prior for you signing up to our Affiliate Program.

Please see my above response. Please note that affiliate withdrawal tickets are automatically scheduled to reopen at the time of processing (end of fiscal quarter).

He means that these ticket will open automatically(on the 15th of the month following the end of a fiscal quarter January, April, July, October),but how skillfully he avoided April 15th?This is an insult to our IQ
Hello!

I have a ticket in 03/29/2018 (19:22),no any reply and closed,
I think they should run away fast.
Hi ZhaoRong! We are far from running away, in fact we’re focused on expansion and invested in new infrastructure, as you can see with these SSD offers :)
Do you have a ticket number I can check out?
Jonathan
HostMyBytes
I think it’s ridiculous, you deleted the Ticket ID: 970812 03/29/2018 (19:22), but it’s stupid, you forget, every time you open a ticket, there is an email notice, but you forgot to delete the email history, the rogue can’t solve the problem, hehe, and I also anticipate this situation, so I left these information and the screenshots ahead of time.I can only say “shameless” for this kind of encounter.
Hi ZhaoRong, I took a look at that ticket, thanks so much for supplying it so I can give additional insight on this matter!
I’d like to inform you that this is an affiliate withdrawal related ticket, so this is nothing reflective of our service, or our support.

Is it correct that 1GB Plan is cheaper than 512MB Plan?
Yes, but you can pay monthly on the 512MB plan :)

Free IPv6 ?

I paid for two of the 3GB VPSs plus I paid for the 5TB and asked for the LEB 1TB extra per VPS offered free above.
You sent something in chinese which appears to be an ad and closed the ticket.
What are you going to do about that?
Robert
Hi Robert! That sounds strange, the free upgrade should of been promptly applied by our support team. Got a ticket ID I can look at so I can see what went wrong?

Spring and summer have passed, but they still do not settle aff.
This businessman is a cheat.
Order their service at beginning of June, VPS Pool 4GB – Create 5 VPS, Service is very spotty and about once a week the node is unreachable, at these times their control panel wont even load, it gives a gateway timeout. IMHO they oversell nodes and have poor load monitoring and balancing. Support is very slow and only states what is wrong not a solution to the issue. Stated by them that low end services are not a priority and 24-48 hrs is normal response time. Asked for refund and was told no refunds on special offers.
When the service is unreachable it last 12-48 hours till it is reachable again. No way I can use this service to host customers, even small low load sites and ruin my reputation with services that are unreliable. I use it now as a daily backup of my other servers, if it misses a day its not critical hopefully.
If you are looking for a service that offers consistent up-time look elsewhere, hostmybytes isnt for you.
Hi Cody! We definitely do not overload our nodes and have a whole system in place to ensure monitoring and proper balancing. Do you have a ticket number so I can look into this myself and provide a better perceptive or solution?
Thanks so much!

Some questions:
1. Recurrent deal?
2. Here you wrote about 30-day refund for the new customers. In your TOS 3-day refund and ‘Special promotions packages are not guaranteed to be eligible for refunds’ is specified. So which one is it?
3. TUN/TAP?
I’m in Baltimore and the New York dc provides fast latency to me :)
Loving the disk performance too, woo for SSD!
Hi Chris! Happy to hear that, enjoy your server!

Hi Jonathan!
Please help me with the Ticket ID: 769373 Thanks!
Hi Jim,
Looks like our support team clarified this with you. I’ll follow up again to make sure this was resolved to your satisfaction. Please note that SolusVM is a control panel that we provide for you to manage your VPS – it is not intended to be installed on the VPS itself.

Bought a VPS in NY and not had one issue. I got it on the 28th and it’s been up since. Installed my panel without a hitch and runs a lot quicker that the dedi from Kimsufi.
Hi Chris! Very good to hear, thanks for signing up :)
Enjoy and consider picking another one up in LA too maybe?

I want to cancel my VPS; its not even 3 days, and its off network :( Before its down, everything was perfect and great disk I/O and network speed.
How to request a full refund?
Hi Murty,
No network issues recently as far as I’m aware, do you have a ticket number? I’ll resolve it to your satisfaction. :)

Just got one of 512M VPS for testing.
Here the bench.
Why only 800Mhz frequency and where is my 2Gb/s I/O?
Sounds like Intel SpeedStep at work… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep
Got a ticket number I can pull up (if it wasn’t already resolved)? I can get SpeedStep entirely disabled on the node if you want, but it’ll definitely scale up the frequency automatically if ever needed.

Bought 6gb as my first vps and have been bashing around in ubuntu for a couple of days. Very pleased and much fun. What is the cost for more ssd space?
Hi Tsidhu! Glad to hear that you’re having fun with your server! Please contact sales with how much additional SSD space you’re after, and we’ll work something out with you!

1GB Plan
Can you offer:
1.5GB RAM (instead of 1GB RAM)
1TB Transfer (instead of 2TB Transfer)
For same price $10.00/yr?
Got an offer with HMB last year and ordered another SSD VPS a week ago. Good performance. Servers are running flawlessly, and support has always been professional and quick. My tickets have always been answered within 1hr.
They are overselling all their server’s. A lot of Downtimes, Problems very often.
Slow Customer support & Sales. Not Reliable. I suggest HostmyBytes to not to Oversell. you guys are doing it to the extreme, all the users from Lowerendbox have commented above saying that the VPS shuts down once in a week or more.
Joined the plan but does not work at all. Also, no resources remained in the pool and the message “No free nodes found in group OVZ-CH” shows up. Becareful about this scam!
Hi Johnathan,
I’m trying to cancel and refund my service but one of your support reps is stating there is no refund policy.
[Ticket ID: 534505] Cancellation and Refund
HMB is a decent host. Sure they are not perfect but for the price guys, you just can’t beat it.. Matter of fact these SSD servers perform better and faster than my $10/mo instances with Linode. Have reasonable expectations guys and remember what you are paying, and don’t expect the world for your $1/month from here, or any other provider from LOWENDbox. If you are looking for an unmanaged VPS and you know your way around Linux and do not expect hand-holding technical support, I do not see any reason why you would not have a good experience at HMB, as I’ve had. Just my 2 cents!
seems like nice offers.. what brand SSD is powered by?
I snagged up one of these over the weekend. Been toying around with it and so far can say its definately one of the fastest servers I have used.
FWIW I have used HostMyBytes over a few years ago when they were posted here, but that was for a HDD based VPS. I can definitely feel the difference with SSD :)
Good to see HMB finally offer some discounts on SSD VPS’s. Grabbed a small 512 MB plan for now.
I had a really bad experience with these guys. My 100Gb storage was only giving me about 25Gb, and they couldn’t fix it, so they had to move me to a new node. The new node was even worse and slower than the original node. Then suddenly nothing worked, couldn’t even log in to the control panel. They said the OS broke during the move and so it had to be reinstalled. After ALL that downtime and hassle and problems that were their fault, they wouldn’t even compensate for all the downtime. Dropped them like a hot potato after that.
I’ve had the same experience with them too.
I strongly advise staying away from Hostmybytes. Lately, they are just a disaster.
OVZ networks disappear on several VMS, if you can reach the support and are not getting a server error when trying to open a ticket, they are near to useless and at best they offer to rebuild the VPS (naturally the data is gone) but the new VM also doesn’t have a network interface.
These guys are completely under and away. probably too many promotions to collect money but not the infrastructure to support this.
Bought a VPS from them a few weeks ago. Went to bed , woke up and it said offline. I opened a ticket, they said the “OS was corrupt” and they said they only option was to reinstall a os…. I know this was not user error as I had the same things running on this vps as I have on every other, and when I went to bed it was fine. So as of now im kind of scared to rely on it. also cpu performance is weak lately. Also I get a bunch of email from them written entirely in Chinese, which is weird to me.
I read about the offer, and rent 1 vps from HostmyBytes, but until now, my service still pending…
I just ordered an annual 1GB in NY
Here’s my benchmark!
they can’t solve some problem as my server is canncel and I pay for the fee to request them re-active it, after two weeks, they even don’t know how to re active a “cancelled status” server, and sending me three times the message “it is done. it is active now”….. they are a funny company !
They finally soloved it ……. everything is ok now

Subscribe to $19.99 Pooled VPS.
Control Panel unresponsive.

No response. Control panel still timing out / unusable.
WORST SERVICE EVER!!
Customer service will never respond to you with a answer on why the service has been down for over a week.
AVOID!
There deals are great but once your a customer they don’t give a shit about you.
TLDR:
It seems like this is the only place we get a response from them. I’ve been a customer with them for over a year and when their service works there are no issues. Like meany other people on here have reported, their support does not answer you at all. Even when procuring services you may not get everything you ordered. When I raised a ticket about this answers were very spotty and the problem was still not fixed.
Stay as far way from this company as possible. They are overselling resources, they don’t answer tickets. I just had a VPS from them freeze and after 4 days I finally got them to delete the server instance. Now there is no nodes open in any of the 3 locations they offer me. I purchased the domain hostmybytes-is-a-scam.com and am going to start a blog about how bad they scam people.
US location “not found” – Tbay be they are overselling resources.
Pray after purchase, don’t worry anymore, because no one can help you
