James, from HTTPZoom, contacted us a short time ago to be re-listed. According to James, they got a great response from their last offer and therefore have something a little bit better this month for you.

HTTP Zoom have only been featured once before but are fairly active on LowEndTalk. As remarked last time, these servers certainly adhere to the ‘LowEnd’ ethos. Compared with their last listing. They’ve upgraded the servers to Raid10 and for a limited time only, they’re offering a free 32MB upgrade. All of the reviews, and there was a lot of them!, left on their last post seem to be very positive which is always great to see.
HTTP Zoom were launched in 2012, but their parent company (HTTP Simple) has been in business since 2007. They accept payments via Paypal, GoogleCheckout and Direct Debit. They also offer a 30 day refund policy, providing that you’ve not abused your service. Additional IPv4 addresses are billed at £2.25 – a great way to encourage IPv6! As usual, take a look at their Terms of Service before signing up.
Network Information:
Servers are located in Maidenhead, UK at the Rapidswitch datacenter.
Test IPv4: 95.154.216.130
Test IPv6: 2001:1b40:5600:d00:d00:d00:e4d6:6f3c

An actual low end box for once. I like it.
I have a 64mb vps with httpzoom, is it possible to get the upgraded ram?
Just open a ticket and ask them!
WOW, 7 minutes after the ticket it was done! Super fast :)
Just ordered a 96mb :)
Will see how it goes!
Wow, nice offer for UK hosting. Will be purchasing.
Is there list of linux distro available?
Hey Derry please see: http://billing.httpsimple.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=108
seems good, gonna order one.
Do not buy hosting of this seller.Server is very slow must be oversold.
I use them for a DNS server and it’s quite nippy so why are you lying?
My server is slow and oversold how dare you say I lie. Who are you owner?I just see other reviews on websites that say same.
Yeah mine is quite slow as well at times. Sometimes there is almost no reaction at all, but it sure does its job (iPlayer tunnel).
Have you submitted a ticket?
“How dare you”?! Welcome to the internet you stupid prick.
Hey Jack,
If you aren’t happy and the VPS isn’t suitable we can arrange a refund for you. We’d rather refund and lose business than have unhappy customers that cannot use their VPS for the purpose they require.
Our servers are not oversold and unless we get a ticket from you we cannot really look into any specific issues.
No I’m not the owner, I quite like the service thats all.
I didn’t submit a ticket because I don’t mind when its slow sometimes. Just for the record, here’s a benchmark of my 64MB box:
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/03/25/jmmjkvsa9izC3cQs
Don’t get me wrong, this is a really great deal here! It is really fast most of the time (in my case), but sometimes feeling a little bit slower, so the node might be slightly oversold but it is still a very decent offer. The uptime is good as well (I have 48 days atm).
Bought today.
Support great, ticket got resolved in few minutes.
Not quite satisfied with the speed though, from my German connection at home I get this:

Installed PPTP server on it, but it’s rather slow

I will see if this changes, but still it’s great value and it’s enough for my usage.
Regesterd three 64mb servers with them, super happy with there customer service. Let the fun begin!
Hey,
I use your 96MB offer and I am really happy, just one question, why does htop shows x/128MB ram and 0/0 vswap and not x/96MB and 0/128? It doesn’t affect my server, I’m just wondering :P
Tried to sign up this evening but the SSL certificate is invalid and the shopping cart page seems broken and updates twice. :(
Hey!
When I was speaking to James a few weeks back he told me that he had put up a dedicated httpzoom billing panel therefore these links are out of date!
For 96MB it would be; https://billing.httpzoom.com/cart.php?systpl=httpzoom&a=add&pid=56&carttpl=singlepage
For 160MB it would be; https://billing.httpzoom.com/cart.php?systpl=httpzoom&a=add&pid=57&carttpl=singlepage
Thanks, order placed and I look forward to the challenges of setting up in such a small memory footprint! :D
does anyone can share with us test of input/ouput hdd speed?
and give us more info about uptime ?
i/o result ? network speed good or bad ? how about uptime ?
Does it work for host wordpress site with zero visitor?
Is TUN/TAP enabled on the nodes? Can you use these containers to run a low traffic VPN?
quite expensive 96mb for 12 pounds, can get a US server 256mb for 8 pounds and 128mb for around 6.66 pounds
Bandwidth/General hardware in the US is cheaper.
Memory cheating by ballooning, it make my service always down during memory outage.
I’m using 256MB/512MB with cPanel DNS only.
Hey There,
I can confirm we do not memory balloon.
The majority of our nodes have Memory vastly under sold.
VPS 1 (from ChicagoVPS)
root@xxx [~]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 262144 152836 109308 0 0 68384
-/+ buffers/cache: 84452 177692
Swap: 0 0 0
VPS 2 (from HTTPZoom)
root@xxx [~]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 524288 464572 59716 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 464572 59716
Swap: 0 0 0
Both VPS are running with cPanel DNS only, with the same setup procedure. Normally, from client side cannot see anything if the host is under ballooning, as the balloon will growth each process’s memory usage in the client side, to release the memory to the host.
CVPS runs RHEL6 where as HTTPZoom runs RHEL5.
The OVZ kernels handle memory different.
I signed up with this deal a couple of months back and though I’d leave a review. I get around 100 megabits/s on my vps, the support is fantastic! I wasn’t given all 5 of my IPv6 addresses, I contacted support and had my problem resolved very quickly. I haven’t experienced any of the slowness problems as mentioned above. I haven;t experienced memory problems either.
Amazing service from all 3 VPS’s they have, VERY good disk I/O and network speed. Using one box to host SA-MP servers, one for an IRC bnc, and one for a webserver when I’ve set it up. Ticket response is good, and I got one of my boxes quickly moved to another node following network issues (on my end).

The new 4GB ram and 50GB disk space offer for existing customers is amazing, much faster than my friend’s KS 4G!
My particular service is a 64MB/5GB/200GB and I’ve had it since May 2013. I can’t comment on slowness as such as I only use it as a private proxy and means of website screenshot capture. Uptime is excellent, at present more than three months. I will renew in May 2014 unless a cheaper UK provider made something available as the exchange rate isn’t great at the moment.
