    Well when LEB started to link to other similaric sites :P

    • @KLIKLI: Just want to say 96MB.com and LEB are not exactly similar, LEB focuses more on the low end VPS deals and 96MB focuses more on the reviews. Having said that, 96MB was inspired by LEB (yes, I am a fan of Lowendbox.com and basically browse through this site daily for good deals before I decide to set up 96MB) and received a lot of help from LEA when setting the site up, for which I definitely need to thank LEA for it. Thanks LEA!

    • @KLIKLI — if it is useful, why not? :)

      For the past 4 years I did see a lot of other low end VPS-related sites springing up around the Internet, and it has been nice to have a small hosting community growing out from this niche (except maybe all those scrappers :)

      • Indeed, I think the people who spend their own time creating these sites have really helped the industry, Its a daily thing now to see people on WHT instead of making recommendations simply saying “take a look on lowendbox or 96mb” myself included when people are looking for a VPS on a budget.

        I think its time some of the hosts featured here chipped in for a Christmas present for these guys :)

  3. There is also a Double RAM ‘or’ Double Bandwidth offer on right now that can be used together with the offer LEA has kindly posted.

    If there are any takers on this offer please open a ticket with your choice of upgrade and it will be applied within 24 hours (Most likely allot sooner).

    • Sorry….long day… last post should have said Double HDD ‘or’ Double Bandwidth but I suppose as the offer has been made it will be honoured for those that sign up from LEB.

      • The double RAM was a typo but I will keep it valid for the next 48 hours from the time of this post.

  4. At risk of spamming… just though I should add, MoneyBookers is now also available for payment.

    Awesome offer on the website.

    “That’s 1024MB RAM, 80GB Raid 10 HDD Space and 400GB of RAM for just 9.99!”

  6. Thanks Gary,

    Obviously I could not post that here with it being over $7 :)

    • Gary:

      True, but even at a tenner, 400GB of ram is a good deal.

        I’m like that most days, I wouldn’t worry about it.

      • Wow, I was gonna say is it even possible to have a 400GB RAM VPS? Well, I guess it must be possible technically but unless Anthony want to put himself in deadpool tomorrow, I would strong recommend against doing that! :)

  7. Haha… sorry my fingers have been mixing up HDD and RAM and Bandwidth all day (Not in any service affecting way)

    I blame staff interviews today they always make me go a little brain dead!

    No IRC, no audio/video streaming, no adult content, no offering files for download larger than 50MB, no obscene speech or material, no defamatory or abusive language, no “Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.” (?)

    August 12, 2011 @ 12:20 pm | Reply
    • Thank you Danio,

      TOS/AUP have been updated and some of the irrelevant and draconian elements removed and other terms updated.

      For clarity:
      -IRC is allowed for private use, connections to public networks are not.
      -Audio/Video Streaming terms have been updated and are allowed with certain restrictions
      -Legal Adult Is allowed
      -File download limit changed to 1000MB but in reality is is not imposed it is simply for protection from abuse.

      TOS/AUP are never nice to read however they have to be over aggressive simply for the protection of the business, I agree some of the old terms were perhaps a step to far.

      The legal template was a purchased one and obviously have some irrelevant elements that were missed.

      Hope that clears things up for you if not feel free to email me inbox@inceptionhosting.com or post a reply here.

      • Gary:

        If the file limit isn’t imposed, why mention it?

        What kind of abuse could the service be subjected to if it’s a 1000MB file, that wouldn’t occur if it was 2 500MB files?

        • Got to love lowendbox for feedback :) (That is genuine)

          The thinking behind it was mainly based around an extra deterrent for hosting copyright material such as films/dvd’s/games etc however to pre-empt the next comment, I know that is already broadly covered elsewhere and copyright material can be any size.

          I will remove the file size limitation on the next update of the TOS.

          Thanks again for your feedback.

          Anthony.

          Indeed Gary, I’m very pleased that they would be willing to ease up on the AUP. Definitely considering ordering a VPS!

        • Quick update, TOS+AUP gone through again this morning, hopefully a lot more customer friendly now but as always happy to take feedback.

  10. And that’s all Folks, all stock sold out, based on the sales volumes over the last 48 hours (Which has been amazing thank you) new hardware was ordered and new nodes will be ready in the next 24 – 48 hours.

    I will keep everyone posted when a more accurate ETA is available.

  15. Thank you Anthony,

    I just bought one.
    Tested the support (with a common bug). The response was fast, professional and precise.
    Tested the machine and it seems fast and with plenty of resources (CPU, inodes, etc).
    The ping times are very good too.

    So far… it seems to good to be true!

    • Thanks for your comment Mark,

      Nice test, to be honest I had not seen that bug (Which I have now reported) so no doubt I will get slapped in the face by SolusLabs telling me to RTFM :)

      Hope you enjoy your service.

      Anthony.

  16. Hello, I’d like to share my experience with you. I’m running a daily-news site which has 150k Alexa rank (check my website link above). My site use MySQL heavily so I look for a powerful VPS with good I/O. I look at many providers until I get 96mb’s review about Inception Hosting. Unixbench is very high. I also read other comments in LEB. Overall positive comments. Then I read Inception Hosting’s offer thread in WHT, very impressive to me. But their current plans do not fit my need so I email them about custom plan. They response fast and friendly. Finally, I get my VPS: Xen/50GB storage/650GB bandwidth/8 full cores i7 950 @ 3.07GHz/1Gbps uplink port. It costs only €12.50EUR (after discount). Of course, this is not a low-end box, it’s high-end. I test carefully all aspects: true 1Gbps uplink port, constant 170MB/s I/O speed, 1995 Unixbench score. I’m totally happy with this VPS ^_^

    But at the time of writing this, I also request cancellation of my VPS. Why? Because I live in Southeast Asia and most visitors of my site live there too. After some days I realize that the connection from Inception Hosting Data Center to my country is not stable. Sometime I get a high speed sometime low. I know that this is not Inception Hosting’s fault. This is a problem of geographical distance. I placed an order on 14/Aug and 15/Aug Inception Hosting posted a test file in WHT. I wish they did provide it sooner :)

    In short: Highly recommend! (Be sure to use the test file before place an order :)

    • Oops, I have a mistake. I means downlink when I say “true 1Gbps uplink port”. I don’t have VPS in EU so I can’t verify that it’s “true 1Gbps uplink port”.

        Sorry it did not work out for you, I don’t actually know of any hosts in your part of the world.

      How much RAM was that deal for 12.50?

      • From memory it was a 768 MB plan or it may have been a 1GB with a tiny disk allocation.

        Once the new hardware is in place in the Netherlands (By FEB I hope) The current Netherlands packages will be classified as legacy and no longer be available and instead it is likely to move over to less cores but more ram for your money.

        Still being planned though but if you take a look here http://inceptionhosting.com/usa-xen-vps/ the new Netherlands offers are likely to be under a similar price structure. :)

          Thanks for your information Anthony!

          Would it still be possible to buy low-end boxes (less then 256mb ram) or will the legacy plans be on sale?
          And would more CPU cores be an option if needed?

        • Hi Daniel,

          I might put a 128 plan out here only probably similar to what went out not so long ago for 6 euros p/quarter.

          Regarding the CPU Cores, please don’t take this the wrong way but why would you possibly need access to more than 4 cores on such a low spec VPS?

          That is a genuine question I have had a few emails asking for a 128 / 8 core plan for the new USA servers too and it puzzles me, the only use I can think of for them is to show off your geekbench scores :), anyone on a 128 plan that constantly uses 8 cores is asking for trouble in a shared resource environment.

    Would you consider doing a deal on your xenVPSsuperultra package?
    No harm in asking I guess :D

    Does Inception still have any deals right now

  22. Hi Tim,

    Indeed,
    ’50offlife’ will get you a 50% discount for the life of your order on any package with 256MB+ (excludes 8GB and 2GB RAM Plans)

    ’50off1st’ will get you 50% off your first month for ANY VPS package available on the site.

    And then there is the one mentioned on the top of this post.

    Anthony.

    You see there is only a slight speedup after 4 threads; what’s happening here (I’m pretty sure) is that while 8 “cores” are visible, it’s actually a 4 core i7 processor with hyperthreading. Still very nice to have that parallelism available in such a low cost plan. My other cheap plans give access to just 1 core.

      Wait, I posted in the wrong thread– I’m actually on the €3/quarter, 128MB plan announced a few week ago. That make the performance even more impressive ;)
