Apologies, we moved key parts of our site. Will sort out the redirects.

Noticed the price is quoted in pounds. Any chance it could be offered in dollars?
You can use ¤cy=2 at the end of the URL to use USD invoicing however at checkout (PayPal/CC) payments will be in GBP.
I’m missing 512MB yearly ovz
The ToS states IRC servers are not allowed. How do you know if a client is operating an IRC server? Same question re: Tor.
What does it mean that the ToS disallows “Streaming”? An example would be helpful.
Also, the ToS says torrents are allowed but not allowed. Very confusing.
Streaming videos etc. or live streaming of infringing content is not allowed.
Torrents are allowed as stated for personal usage only, ie. not for public torrent services
Thanks for the reply. Again, how do you know if a user is hosting an IRC server, Tor, or streaming service?
Nice deal, I have said it before and will say it again, whilst I have been very critical of Patrick in the past he seems to have come a long way, I might even try out the KVM myself.
The title says Amsterdam,NY. Yes, Amsterdam,NY is indeed an actual place. I though the offer was at that location….But it is not true. Consider revise the title.
Server Locations: Los Angeles, CA (USA) | New York, NY (USA) | Amsterdam, Netherlands
Had a VPS with these guys for a fair while and am very impressed with their kit and blisteringly fast customer service.
Honest folks providing a good honest service. A rare thing these days.
Pleasure to have you as a client Dean!
Thanks for the kind words.
Stay away from this fake company, just have a look at reviews for their previous brand “StormVZ” and you’ll be indeed shocked!
Indeed, and referring back to my comment above it was a rocky road not helped by a number of factors, but that does appear to have changed and as many will attest, I don’t change my mind much when it comes to views about providers around LET.
Those times were purely due to large inbound DDoS in UK, there is in fact no bad reviews on the actual service so please get it right.
Feel free to look at the LEB reviews on StormVZ they have been great except when we got over 10-15Gbps in DDoS and were forced to move.
Rebrand was due to legal issue on a trademark so you once again need to do further research.
I think that’s the nice thing about the LEB community, they’re willing to give any host any number of chances. I’m among the few that sticks with mature providers only, but I do like to see the constant flow of new companies that help make the environment competitive.
I received this error when trying to buy the 1G $25 yearly:
# # The e-mail address could not be changed due to a remote error. Please contact your hosting company for more information. #
Should be fixed, we were moving support system to Kayako.
Great job Patrick! I have a server with him and I just made a few friends aware of this last promotion, stable servers, huge nodes, fast support.
Thin price for a VPS you will not be able to complain about.
One of the most reliable hosting providers I ever been with. Excellent uptimes at affordable prices.
The speed of the services is very fast as well.
One of few hosts I renew services with. Could’nt be happier.
I now have 3 VPS with him in the Amsterdam location. Stable, reasonably fast, very good network, and a great price. Can recommend :)
First time with them and pretty impressed: great connection speed and performance at unbeatable price. Well done!
KVM Can install Windows?
No we do not allow windows on KVM.
You can see available options here:
http://iniz.com/blog/kvm-isos-templates.html
I had a VPS for some time. Blazing service! Recommended!
Almost signed up but then thought to check the ToS. My reason for buying was to run a minecraft server for my son and a few friends. It’s only in active use ~4 hours a day, and cron’d to shut down every night, but still clearly not within the ToS. Anyone have any suggestions for a similarly good bargain that would work?
Sigh. I’ll snatch the 1GB yearly without a second thought if the yearly IP cost is not that expensive. It’s higher than the hosting plan itself!
Any chance for custom plan? I’d happily have half BW and Diskspace for reduced price!
Unfortunately we’re unable to cut down the prices further as they are heavily discounted already.
Hi Team,
When you say enterprise solution, does that mean the performance can be guaranteed? unlike others, you don’t over sell too much? I’m curious because currently nearly all openoz companies oversell VPSs without caring the performance.
Cheers
Performance is excellent. I’m not any affiliate program member of Iniz. But all 7 of my sites are running on his server.
any promotion of your SSD VPSs?
We can do the 1GB & 2GB yearly deals on our NL SSD node with half the disk space.
Email sales@iniz.com.
1) personal torrents available? is it legal in NL?
2) How can I order 1/2 SSD with 1G/year plan?
1) Yes, as stated in terms. Personal usage is fine as long as resources (Disk IO/Bandwidth Rate) is not abused.
2) Submit email to sales@iniz.com requesting the above and we will send you instructions.
Thanks Patrick! just one more question:
“VPNs (Private & Secured VPN/Proxy usage is allowed)”
can I give access to lets say 10 persons so they can browse internet anonymously?
If those 10 people are those you know and trust then I don’t really mind.
I would also like to buy a 2gb-yearly on ssd at half diskspace if still available.
This is still possible, shoot an email to sales@iniz.com
I have sent an e-mail, waiting your reply :)
Me too- I would like to buy a 2gb-yearly on ssd at half diskspace
It is still possible, to buy 1GB-yearly on SSD in NL node?
Can we have Ubuntu 12.04? I don’t see it listed in the drop-down menu.
Can I try a vps for one day? Or cancel within x days and have a refund?
We have it available.
You can order with any OS and reinstall with Ubuntu 12.04 from the VPS CP.
Can we use this to host our WordPress?. I guess VPS will be having greatest speed than Shared hosting. I am a complete newbie about this, But has a decent expereince with terminals and coding…
Guess you would help me out.= @Patrick, Can you give us somemore discounts?, Being an indian there has so many probs regarding the exchange rate and so on….
We are unable to give further discounts.
When I try to pay via Paypal, it switched the currency, though I had used the suggested ‘¤cy=2’ which initially had in U.S. dollar.

Make sure you have VIRTIO enabled as disk driver, that IO is quite low for Patrick as I know it’s usually in the ~300MB/s+ numbers.
KVM nodes are on 4 x 4TB RAID10, you should be getting around ~200 on this node as its at full usage.
Feel free to submit a ticket to support@iniz.com and we’ll take a look at your VPS config but as mentioned please ensure you have virtio enabled as your disk driver.
Hi, in this particular instance, disk I/O is of no importance; bandwidth speed is what I care more about.
Thanks
Make sure your Network Card is Intel PRO/1000 otherwise you’ll be limited to 100mbps.
Feel free to run after you have changed this and rebooted VM and it should improve significantly.
Hi again, bandwidth issue is now improved after playing and editing sysctl.conf. I am using IDE disk driver as I don’t care about disk I/O.

All KVM plans are now out of stock, we don’t plan to set up new nodes at the moment for KVM.
We will add stock when and if clients cancel every now and then for KVM.
New OVZ nodes up to cater demand however.
I am interested in I04G plan, however when I add it it shows me $9 amount.
is this offer ended?
Use promo code “OPENVZIO” at checkout.

Most vps out of stock, and thr prices is higher like posted here! Why you lie?
Read above, KVM is out of stock except 4 1GB packages. We won’t be adding more KVM stock.
http://lowendbox.com/blog/iniz-yearly-deals-and-more-25year-1gb-vps-amsterdam-ny-and-la/#comment-136499
Some promos require coupon, use as listed on the post.
Interested in your 1GB-YEARLY Special. Can you enable the SolusVM Quick Backup feature, on request, on your Amsterdam node(s)?
Is the 1GB-YEARLY offer forever if I will purchase it or will the price increase at the second year?
Recurring for life, price will not change.
Hey Iniz,
Couple questions:
1. are the vCPU’s guaranteed or shared?
2. when I click the link, in the server specs description, last line says “Amsterdam, NL” but I can select “NY” down below – are these deals only available in Amsterdam? Or can I actually get any of these deals in NY as well?
Replied to your ticket however quick summary for others.
1. Shared – Far Usage – See Terms
2. We’ll get description updated, you can choose any location on order form. They are all available (NY/LA & NL)
Yes, I answer my own question shortly after about your CPU and was just coming back here to post it:
* Each VPS is given “fair-share” CPU usage on the server. CPUs sit idle in most cases. Each VPS has access to several vCPU(depending on your plan) and can use it’s processing power as and when required, since you are sharing the CPUs with other clients on the node we have a fair share usage limit. If your VPS happens to cause issues to other clients on the node your VPS will be suspended and notified and asked to make changes to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
I have one additional question for you:
Regarding future “upgrades” to the server; If I decided say, 6 mo. from now I need more RAM, is it possible to add-on additional RAM to these plans – or any of your plans (for an extra add-on fee of some kind)?
Do you guys accept Skrill as a Payment Method? We only have Skrill in our Country.
We do not unfortunately, as mentioned above.
> Payments methods accepted are PayPal for one-time payments and credit cards through their website for recurring payments.
Regarding future “upgrades” to the a vps; If I decided say, 6 mo. from now I need more RAM, is it possible to add-on additional RAM to these plans – or any of your plans (for an extra add-on fee of some kind of course)?
Small yearly plans 128/256 are excluded from further upgrades, it is possible to upgrade 1/2GB yearly packages and IO4G.
What about a private Tor bridge (not an exit node)? Or are all forms of Tor forbidden?
We do not allow any forms of TOR just to be on the safe side, this policy has been with us since we started and we’ve had no issues so like to keep it this way.
BTW, I just wanted to say, I’m already an Iniz customer, have been for around 3 months now. Service has been great so far, have been running on one of their earlier promotions (from June or July). Haven’t had any noticeable network issues whatsoever, server has always been fast and responsive.
Great to hear from customers as always!
Thanks
Just signed up with them (2GB plan) and I am simply blown away by the speed.
It’s even faster than a Windows Azure Medium sized VM. Plus this one handles rDNS properly.
Tech support was fantastic as well, Patrick replied to me within 30 minutes although it’s a Sunday.
Kudos to INIZ!
Any offer for ssd in LA?
i’m interest with 2GB-YEARLY planning .. but i want to ask :
i want to make this vps for radio streaming server, web server, VPN server only for me and install transmission for torrent server only for me but maybe i can be a seeder too … can i do all that?
sorry for my bd english, because i dont use google translate and can write with good english.. so, i hope u can understand with my question ..thx
Hi, this seems like a good deal.
Just curious about the tor usage. Is it just tor exit nodes that are disallowed?
I assume running tor for personal use on the server is OK? What about hidden services (again with no exit traffic).
Thanks.
Anything TOR related is not allowed.
Hi,is the plan(like 1GB KVM) allowed for personal torrenting？
I would just like to tell everyone that is thinking of signing up for INIZ to think twice because it seems they are trying to grab people’s ID for tracking purposes. I ordered a VPS in NL with my bank debit card. I’m in the US and this card is tied to my billing address and my local bank. The order form has this address and the ccv code. The order went through fine and then they suspended my service later for certain “risks” that they didn’t elaborate on. They wanted to get a photocopy of my ID and CC! Why would I send this to a foreign company. Especially shady people like the ones that operate on here. These people are nothing but front companies for their local INTEl bureaus working in concert with International Government. Most likely a nice honeypot for GCHQ. I would advise people to stay away from INIZ or pretty much anything on LEB as it seems these businesses have little ethical morals.
I have services with them and they have never asked me for photo copy of ID. They must have observed decrepancies in your transaction hence asked for PHOTO ID, and I think its general practice.
This would be the simple way of putting it rather than his extremist views for whatever reason.
We rarely ask for ID of any sort but when we do it’s because of discrepancy in card verification or failed our internal checks (fraudrecord etc.)
He has already been refunded for not wanting to provide which is some what understandable.
It seems all KVM offers are out of stock.
Any idea when they’ll get back?
We sold out pretty quick, more than I personally expected also.
Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA on restock, they will be added frequently when there’s free space available / clients cancel.
INIZ dont work… Error 520, 521… my mysql db have errors and can connect to phpmyadmin… suck
It’s working fine.
Full Server down 24 hours and data loss. Provider don’t like any responsability after hard disk crash.
NL4 had multiple HDD failures and we had to run a FSCK and the server was down for several hours but no where close to even 12 hours downtime so this is clearly not true.
I have not noticed a ticket from anyone called “Francisco” regarding data loss because all VMs were and area in a recoverable and working state.
I’m not sure what responsibility you want me to take here? HDD crashes can be unpredictable especially when multiple fail at the same time and we clearly state clients should maintain there own backups.
My server was also down due to this but the 24 hours comment is not true, I don’t know exactly how long it was down but I’m certain Patrick is right when he says under 12 hours.
The whole situation was resolved really quickly and I was updated by Email.
I purchased 2GB-YEARLY plan till now no issues happy with service
I had one of my services suspended today but it was completely my fault, my CPU usage was indeed too high – I just wasn’t quite aware how high it really was until I was shown the statistics.
I created a ticket on the website as instructed and Patrick responded in just 5 minutes to tell me exactly why I had been suspended, I explained that I would lower my CPU usage and we agreed what would be acceptable and my service was unsuspended straight away.
Really top customer service from Patrick
Joe/Patrick: What is ‘my CPU usage was indeed high’ is that akin to another LEB provider where you’re only allowed to use 25% of a CPU and under their ToS that is ‘excessive resources?’ I’m in the market for a new LEB provider and would like to know what the threshold is before deciding to go with INIZ… TY.
Is the offer on yearly plan a recurring one? I mean, when the term expires, will I be charged with the same price? I’m tempted between 1G and 2G….
All the plans are recurring for life at the same price.
Sweet!
Definitely a very nice offer because both the RAM and space. Hope to see more competition at this price point for similar resources. I am not familiar with the provider but they’ve done well to make the top 3 for the quarter. Reminds me of how RamNode got into the Top 3 shortly after joining here.
More 512MB/1G KVM stock added.
I’ve had a VM with INIZ for two weeks. I’m currently in the process of moving to another provider. Here’s why:
I’ve had performance issues since day one. The server would get very sluggish and unresponsive. I opened a ticket on Oct 28th. and Patrick said “We are aware of the issue, this mostly happens when multiple clients are running crons at the same time every hours and are looking to resolve this.”
The node my server is on was rebooted at 3:36am today. I had problems with it until 10:17am. I opened a support ticket asking if I could get a backup of my server, if I could be moved to a more stable server, and mentioned that I’m still seeing performance issues. My first two questions were ignored and Patrick responded: “We fixed the cron issues many months back when we moved to our current new NL DC.” which is in direct conflict with what he told me two weeks ago.
He also added: “the node you had over 120+ days of uptime without issues” which is also in conflict with what he said to Francisco above. The fact of the matter is that they appear to have issues keeping their servers up and I was lied to. The former happens, the latter is inexcusable.
Beware, I tried to subscribe and pay with paypal. I’ve put fake information for my address and so on, since I consider that, as long as I pay, they don’t have to know my real name.
I was billed but my order was ‘rejected’ because my profile was ‘at risk’.
(I was refunded after that, after several emails to the support)
So if you don’t want to disclose your real name, don’t go there…
I think it is more seller beware of you than buyer beware of Iniz
Had a 1GB for a week thus far, happy. Good benchmarks, good speeds. No need for service tickets just yet!
Hi Patrick, my vps ordered is pending, how long it take to setup?
when I try logon to the clientarea,
the password used to make the purchase was rejected.
is this normal when the vps is not ready?
can you help to look into this?
I managed to reset password & login to clientarea. vps still pending..
If your invoice is marked as “Paid” and VPS is still pending then most likely reason is because your hostname is not in the correct format (or too short ~4 characters) and auto setup failed.
It’ll be activated shortly if so with a alternative hostname.
thanks for the prompt reply patrick,
as my last check, the status still pending.
I use full domain name as hostname, not sure how to change this.
perhaps you can help to alter it if possible.
thank you in advanced.
Hi Patrick, my VPS is up & running. Thanks for the Helps.
Can I run private vpn for hulu/netflix streaming? does this fall under streaming category?
Got a VPS 2GB (yearly payment) from Iniz for about a week now, so far things are great! However, they mentioned within the order form that I would get a VPS located in Amsterdam, NL. I received a VPS that is located in Germany instead. I’m rather confused.
It is in Amsterdam, NL physically as we don’t even have any servers in Germany. I presume you’re looking up your VPS IP on an outdated geo database.
The NY download speeds seem to be a bit slow? The LA speeds are faster for me even though I’m in the UK.
WTF? Why is the 1GB KVM pricwe
Been with them for a while and think to subscribe again.
Just wanted to chime in and say I’ve been with them about 5 months now. Only just cancelled my service as I no longer need the server for what I was using it for, but expect to need it again in future and will likely go on a 1-year plan next time around. Service was great the entire time. Uptime was fantastic and never had a problem accessing server. Bandwidth was always good and stable. Thanks lots Iniz, you guys rock!
Hi Patrick. I currently have the IO3G server from openvz.io and I use it for personal VPN. I was wondering if the above 256mb-year or 1g-year offers use the same servers in NY or if they are located in Buffalo. Reason is: I am using it as my main connection out to the world (the vpn) as I get the best pings & speeds out of you from all the vps’s I tried and I have a VPN under another company running Windows which has my MT4 instances running (forex) and my rdp to it is pretty fast. If they are in the same place then I would probably switch to the 1yr plan of 256 or 1gb as 3gb is overkill for just vpn.
look like inbound trafic still count!
hello, is it ok to use a vps as an smtp server? nothing spammy or unsolicited ads. We have a huge forum and plan to send a monthly newsletter to our registered users (about a hundred thousand). I’m asking because no matter what we do someone might complain for whatever reason and i don’t want to be suspended over it.
My service just got suspended without any warning. After contacting Mr Patrick Hayward, he explained me I was using one of three available CPUs for 100% for just few minutes (!!!). It is absolutely common your software must sometimes use the CPU, nothing I run is on INIZ prohibited software list, it was just a small MySQL instance indexing the data for few minutes.
It was absolutely stupid paying in advance for a year, I can agree, and Mr Patrick Hayward does not want to give the money back. We are going to small claims court with INIZ, and I will be informing you here on the LowEndBox about the continuation of the story. The last message I got from We wish you the best of luck.
The last message I got from INIZ was:
As you have threatened legal action, we cease any contact and service with you in effect immediately.
We look forward to hearing from you, you may write directly to the below address and any further electronic emails will be ignored:

Does the vps support vpn (ppp/tun) by default or do we have to get it enabled via a ticket? Any specific procedure to setup the vpn or any default method would work ? Can someone shed some light ?
It uses SolusVM panel, so there are TUN/TAP & PPP options for on/off.
lol your a douche still ok here we go i got my vps suspended again of mr patrick 2 days ago
reason cpu abuse on my yearly vps
i opened a support ticket within the hour i was told awstat was causing high load he enabled the vps i disabled the script issue sorted let it be know ive been suspended a few times for cpu abuse which patrick was happy to help and point me in the right direction
guess what ive bought another 3 vps since so it cant be that bad of a host maybe getting lippy with your host is not the best way to get issues resolved
