Servers with SnelServer in the Netherlands (test IP: 89.207.135.138). Domain registered by Anthony in UK in December 2010, it gets incorporated in January 2011 (company number 07504587 in UK), although the first InceptionHosting offer I can spot on WHT is from earlier this month. Just google “backtogeek” for Anthony’s blog + many his online profiles. The pricing compares well against other Netherlands based offers.

Hi William,
We will be offering IPv6 by the end of the month.
@others, sincere apologies to all that have ordered so for from LEB, due to an oversight on our part orders were allowed to go through without selecting an operating system, this has been fixed.
Only 2 people have had this issue so far you can either let us know and we will get your OS on for you or install it yourself from your SolusVM Panel.
Once again apologies for this, nothing but human error to blame but the effect is minor and was picked up in less than 2 minutes.
Anthony.
Also an update to the offer above kindly posted by LEA, these servers are not 100mbit they are 1000 mbit. :)
That template is used so many times (themeforest theme)… :)
Quite correct PenguinTux.
It is the Phenomenon premium theme by Bluz Graphics (also available on theme forest), its very functional and does the job very well, there is a new site being developed and will be up in the near
future but this one pretty much met the requirements in the first instance and had the overall look we wanted, so we decided to use it in the short term while something more unique is developed.
“Snel IS manages at this time (december 2010) well over 1.700 customers with 150 dedicated and virtual private servers as well as over 1000 gameservers.”
https://www.snelserver.com/#content/7/About_us
@Francisco: Don’t really see your point, so basically you are saying the DC is small?
Not this template again…

BTW: there are some people trying to get in contact with your company on WHT t=1041165
@Anthony Yes It does look like they BuyVM ignores DMCA takedown requests
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1041165
Canada doesn’t have a DMCA from what I am aware, so they are well within there right to ignore it. Same here in the UK. My company Ignores DMCA aswell, we will not bow to American laws.
Hi Adam,
Indeed they are not binding as such however a response is usually made and customer emails are not usually ignored for weeks.
Guess it boils down to personal preference, we use a responsible DC, even in the Netherlands they demand at least a response to DCMA requests regardless of your decision, which is a stance I agree with, I wont necessarily comply but I wont ignore it outright either.
Pretty sure the “CA” in Fremont, CA means California, not Canada. If BuyVM servers are located in the USA then they are (obviously) bound by the DMCA and other laws of the USA.
Or can someone confirm their servers are located in Canada?
Its a template what do you expect only 1 person to use it?
No, but I’d hope people did research before hand and maybe pick something a little different? :)
Francisco
Sounds like he was aware of the popularity of this template and choose it as it suited his requirements. Stop trolling around.
Ok, I am ready to buy that Phenomenomenomenomenon template! xD Just 12 USD n_n
Sounds like someone has a hidden agenda -O_
You don’t run a hosting company so people can look at it, do you?
As long as it’s practical and clean it works.
Yep he runs frantech.ca :) thanks Ztc it does work just fine although as I have said in an earlier post its being redesigned :D
It says here the DC is owned by “We Dare BV”
Interestingly people are picking on the template. Yeah it’s just a template, and majority of low end providers here buy templates to quickly bootstrap his/her hosting business. No biggie, as long as it works.
No one picked on the name though. I know the word “Inception” is never the same after this movie was released. So — to InceptionHosting — how can I be sure that the servers I got are real rather than just a dream? Definitely don’t want to suddenly get a “kick” and lost everything :P
Hahaha lol LEA.
I need to see that movie u_u.
With virtual servers like these, I wonder if you can set up an OpenVZ or Linux-Vservers environment inside Xen, and that way go two levels deep??? :D
And then run QEMU inside those for the third level!
One more and you are in… limbo? A kick all the way up from dom0 might not help either.
Haha yes indeed, also surprised the name was available so easy it seems to make sense.. at least to me it did, box inside a box :)
If anyone wants to take it to the third level and is willing to blog/write about it as a guest writer on backtogeek.com then I may provide the VPS free for a few weeks if you have a good plan :)
Sadly I just don’t have time to sit and do it, document it and put them through their paces then document the performance.
So the company was named after the movie?
not so much mike, more after the concept behind it. :)
Isn’t the movie about stealing ideas from people’s heads?
Haven’t seen it so I’m going off memory here.
That is an element of the movie yes but the main plot is more around the implanting of an idea in someone’s head to influence an outcome.
“Haven’t seen it so I’m going off memory here.” pun intended? :)
I’ve seen that template before…
I have seen that comment before…
I’ve seen this comment before…
Seems that I read this comment before…
Seems I commented in this comment before
Hey Anthony,
Just a head’s up. You need to show your Ltd company number on your website, plus registered address of Ltd company on your website as well. Also, if you are VAT registered, you need to show this as well.
Get it up there before Companies House sees it.
Shane
Hi Shane,
Your absolutely right, the site has been updated to reflect that.
Quick update
More stock added, thank you to everyone who has purchased so far we did not expect such a rush of sales.
Currently there are:
5 x VPS leb (128/256/5GB) packages @ €3.19/month
3 x VPS micro (96/192/5GB) packages @ €2.40/month
Standard packages on the main site have plenty of availability and the 20% off coupon also works with those.
Anthony.
More stock added, thanks for all the orders.
Just to verify: the servers are 1000 mbit / 1gbps not 100mbit as posted above :)
Any reviews? :)
Hi SwordfishBE,
Inception Hosting Limited is still a fairly new company as per the original post by LEA so (sadly) you will be hard pressed to find many reviews (we haven’t) but on the flip side there are no negative reviews either :)
About the only bad thing you will find is on an advertising thread in WHT where one user had a melt down because he did not pass the fraud check, and did not comply with the terms of the offer but I guess your always going to get that.
Trials can be set up by arrangement but are restricted to 100 mbit to avoid abuse unless identification is provided in which case there are no restrictions.
Anthony.
I ordered and I will just try you out.
Got myself a microVPS, payed for 1 year (only €26.31).
Access to 4 cores/threads.
The speedtest seems slow for an 1000mbit port.

I’m still happy with my vps with Inception.
The native ipv6 is finally working (week now).
Support is still exceptional.
The network has sometimes suffered from DDoS attacks however I didn’t notice quality loss.
Thanks for the update.
The download speeds seem rather slow though which I know you had an initial concern with.
This issue seems to affect the VPS’s with <128mb ram I have gone through everything with a fine tooth comb and it frankly defies explanation other than obviously the limited amount of RAM.
The templates are from Smart Server management which are considered to be the premium ones available right now, so this week I will be creating some new templates and see if they suffer from the same issue as well as trying ones from other sources.
Even went as far as buying some VPS servers from other providers on LEB and the <128mb ones ave actually had the same 100mbit limit on them even lan lan but on a different S/N which further leads me to point at the resources limiting the connection speed however…hands up… I do not know why.
If the community has any input it is very welcome.
Also if you have time it would be good to see some tests from different locations as this is being followed up with soluslabs too.
New Package Added, VPS Micro Plus:
192 MB Dedicated Ram
256 SWAP
Share of 8 Cores
10 GB Raid 10 HDD Storage
100GB per Month Bandwidth @ 1000 mbit
Dedicated IP Address
SolusVM Management Panel
24×7 Instant setup
€5.99
Coupon Codes apply.
Really. No point to post your offers in comments if it does not fit into our USD$7/month limit…
I think it just fits in the criteria, because he mentioned that coupon codes apply, so with the 20off coupon you would get it at ~4,79 euros which is ~7,004896 U.S. dollars at current ranges…
Still at 7,004896 U.S that is over 7 dollars….
Fair point, I must have done the maths wrong, coupon code ‘microplusleb’ will give 25% off the VPS micro package.
‘microplusleb’ – One Time Discount. They aren’t much popular at LEB.
It is not a 1 time discount.

If in case anyone is interested, here is a fresh VPS review I have just written about them, pretty good VPS they have: http://bit.ly/ij2iHp
I like your reviewsw, very detailed. Just some points
That are not 8 cores, are 8 Hyperthreades cores AFAIK.
Your stack is so big, and you use a lot of diskpace xD
Bonus: unixbench sucks xD
Yeah very nice site with good detailed reviews
@Yomero Why does unixbench suck?
@Adam: thanks a lot :)
@Adam @96MB This is the seond time that I am misunderstanded about this.
I mean, Unixbench, that software piece of crap sucks xD No the score, because I don’t know how much is good and how much is bad. I mean, is a software that loads the node like hell for about one hour aprox, just to get an score :| Because that, I promote just a Geekbench plus some quick dd tests to get a better idea about the performance in 2 or 3 minutes.
I wrote about that here
http://www.lowendtalk.com/questions/8524/geekbench-over-unixbench
But nobody likes me xD
@Yomero Alright yeah thats true, unixbench does “abuse” the CPU :)
Why don’t you write a quick tutorial on how to use geekbench and post it on LET?
Unixbench is simply abusive in a shared environment. geekbench spikes CPU but for at most a minute for the total test and gives you a good idea of how things handle.
I’m really liking the speed of geekbench, my only gripe is that the 64bit version is paid but I guess they have to make their bread/butter somehow :)
Francisco
I think is easy to use already but….
http://www.lowendtalk.com/questions/9331/how-to-use-geekbench-to-benchmark-your-vps
xDDDD
@Yomero Excellent. Thanks for the article. ^^
@Yomero: what do you think on the GeekBench score I posted below? Are these consider good?
@Yomero: Ya, not physical but “virtual” cores…and yes, I did not clean up the PHP-FPM because this is a test server which I was just going to destroy later (or they will once I return the server to them) so I did not bother to do any optimization, everything was default…
And is it actually suck? I thought 2400 is a pretty good score, no?
Thanks for the compliment, by the way :)
@Yomero: Please allow me to apologies for my ignorance, but I actually thought GeekBench only support Windows until today :)
I’ll try to run some GeekBench test on the box and let you know how it goes :)
By the way, I am not trying to advertise for them nor my own website, but you should go see how Anthony replied my review, I think it is one really good part I like about them: instead of trying to say “we have to do this because of blah blah blah”, he was very frank in admitting “the bad” and provide solutions as quickly as possible, I think this is very different from many other providers that I have encountered.
Here is the direct link to the comments if in case anyone does not want to go through the entire review:
http://www.96mb.com/96mb-low-end-vps-review-part-viii-inception-hosting/#comment-109
@96mb Will you post the results to the Geekbench site so we can view the full charts for all VPS’s? Thanks.
Wow, is a long comment, +1 for this host :P
Oh yeah, and Geekbench works in several platforms.
@Adam: sure, I just finished my dinner, give me a few minutes and I will run it.
All right, GeekBench results are up:
http://www.96mb.com/96mb-low-end-vps-review-part-viii-inception-hosting#GeekBench
Enjoy! :)
@96mb Very nice. Now we just need some more benchmarks of other LEB VPS’s so we can compare using the Geekbench value :)
Hope more people will run Geekbench on their VPS’s and post their results on LET.
@Adam: I will incorporate that into my VPS reviews too.
@Adam: You can also find some GeekBench results here: http://browse.geekbench.ca/
Although these are not just VPS tests results.
Thanks for the review 96mb :)
Yes the site itself needs some work and I am still stunned about the 2400 score, impressive.
I can verify everything you say.
Little note, the support is one of the best I ever had.
I know this reply is a little late but thanks for the kind words.
Sorry about the IPv6 saga the solution is still in progress :)
More stock added on the qualifying LEB products. :)
I just want to say a big thanks to Anthony for his quick responses and sorting me out with a new vps following the hostfail rip off.
Thanks Andy.
I have been watching (And even participating in) the HostRail soap opera over the last few days, it makes me sick to see how badly they are treating people and how little credit the CEO gives his customers level of intelligence.
Anyway that Constantinos (Forgive spelling) guy has me so angry I set up a voucher code for current customers that are being left to hang out to dry.
I am thinking of this one more as a refugee code: use code ‘hostrail’ for 99% discount on your first month. (I would like to make it 100% but past experience shows it opens the flood gates to abusers)
TERMS OF OFFER:
1) Only 10 uses available (Sorry we cant swallow up HostRails customers over night)
2) Please open a sales ticket and attach your last HostRail invoice before signing up
3) There is no requirement or expectation that you stay with Inception Hosting after your first month but at least it buys people some time to get sorted, I know NL does not fit everyone’s needs.
4) If you do decide to stay then great your billing will be fixed at what ever package you selected with the usual 20% discount applied for life.
Hello folks,
For those who have not seen it on WHT there is currently a 50% Off for life offer valid until the 15th July on all standard packages (2nd & 3rd row on home page) which includes the VPS Lite package.
As it makes the VPS Lite package under $7 thought I would post it here too:
after coupon ‘50%offlife’ you get:
256MB RAM (or 320MB with offer below)
256MB SWAP
15 GB Raid 10 Storage
150 GB of bandwidth (or 300GB with offer below)
1 IP
Access to 8 cores (4 virtual)
After the discount is applied this works out at 4.50 Euros or $6.51 p/month (Source XE.com)
There is also a double bandwidth or an extra 25% RAM offer that can be used in conjunction meaning you either get 300GB Bandwidth or 320MB RAM just open a ticket with your choice and it will be applied within 24 hours.
I am trying to order the 256MB VPS with the 50%offlife coupon code and it is not letting me use the code
Hi Brandon,
My apologies, I typed the code wrong, the correct code is ’50offlife’
Anthony.
I missed a chance to try with their promo ’50offlife’ too. Euros is more expensive than US$ although.
Hi VPS EURO,
If you are still interested drop me an email inbox@inceptionhosting.com I am sure we can work something out.
Anthony.
The offer has been extended until 20th for a limited amount of uses, this is the only place I will be posting this.
50offlife
“The promotion code entered has already been used”
Just in case you don’t know..
Hi Spirit,
It was only enabled for another 2 uses which were taken up almost as soon as I posted that, I have added 2 more uses on but that will be it :)
Quick update.
As existing customers are aware there were some issues with IPv6 due to vlan tagging, this issue has been resolved so IPv6 addresses are now available and free.
Thanks.
Good to hear! Can you also post a test IPv6?
Hi rm,
sure.
Test address: 2a00:7b80:483:2::9a3f:95bd
Oh Quick update on IPv4 too the new test IP should be: test IP: 89.207.135.55
Thanks.
