Someone from IPAP.co emailed in with their VPS plans that start from $4.95/month. Here is what you will get
- 512MB guaranteed/768MB burstable memory
- 50GB storage
- 1000GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- OpenVZ/vePortal
They are utilizing VolumeDrive’s network, i.e. Scranton and possibly going through BurstNet. VolumeDrive also have their own VPS packages with similar spec at the same price point — so I wonder whether one is just reselling the other. The descriptions on that page are quite vague. Any distribution on OpenVZ or CentOS on Xen — so is it OpenVZ or Xen?! The next sentence says “Servers will be delivered in OpenVZ environment with HyperVM/SolusVM/vePortal Control Panel” so which one are they using exactly? I guess vePortal as it is what VolumneDrive has been using.
Update: Correction from “Farzad the CEO”:
We do provide HyperVM and VePortal and even Vrtualizor
We RUN our own dedi boxes but we are reseller of Deicated Servers from VD
Also we can provide Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS) using Citrix XenServer
IPAP is based in Alberta Canada based on its WHOIS info. Both ns3/ns4.ipap.co are pointing to the same IP address — so much for redundancy. Somehow their WHT account also show “disabled” but not sure what happened there.

Maybe they’re trying to please everybody.
Really wish WHT would make public their public profiles.
WHT’s “new” profile page is public. Here it is…
Thanks. WHT needs to frigging link to it though instead of the one behind the login.
ouch check this out http://screencap.net/f/6efc70d3.png
thats a disaster waiting to happen.
Daniel, for those of us who are unable to see images, care to clue as into what we’re supposed to be viewing?
Was a listing of the A records for their nameservers and MX host all being the same IP
So I guess at least someone got suckered into buying this crap domain by http://community.godaddy.com/godaddy/create-your-opportunity-with-co-on-sale-now/ :)
http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/6850-is-godaddy-s-co-push-slightly-deceptive
For me a .co already is in the reputation trash can, together with .biz.
Please do not insult sir :)
IPAP is a short form of a Phrase :)
Hi,
what is the problem with our nameservers?!
actually WE have our OWN servers at volume drive we just resell their Dedi Boxes!
about WHT please refer to :
http://ipap.co/news/wht-threads-issue/
and about Xen or OpenVZ?
We provide XENSERVER based VM for those whom want Kernel! :)
You are a VPS provider and really asking what’s the problem with your nameservers?
It’s funny :)
Interestingly, to me at least, “pap” is Scottish slang…
pap
Noun.
1. Nonsense, rubbish.
2. Faeces.
Verb. To defecate. E.g.”He was so scared he papped his pants.”
iPap… well so do I but I don’t broadcast it.
Here in the US, a pap test is to detect abnormalities in the cells of a woman’s cervix. My understand is that it’s not very pleasant for the female who has one of these.
:)
We are UAE,Turkey based and NEWLY we are opening a Canada Office :)
So IPAP is not bad meaning in our Language :)
And about our ToS , if YOU REALLY want a MORE strictly prohibiting ToS you can surely USE other hosts , i an guarantee you you would LOVE Staminus EVEN they have a Abuse Balance (i assume 1 abuse per month)
We actually write our OWN ToS and try to respect customer and prevent them FROM abusing our admiring service with SOME un-suspension/restoring fees :)
We have not charged ANY customer since now (even on IPAP.co or our local websites)
Any way getting down to argue about ToS is not something related to service :)
We appreciate if you get a service and REVIEW it instead of reviewing ToS :)
ToS is not related to service?
TERMS OF SERVICE IS NOT RELATED TO SERVICE.
This isn’t the language barrier it’s utter focking nonsense.
Sir,
You just from first are talking about dictionary meanings and …. :)
try to make fun of everything you can catch and….
if these things are related to our services let evrybody know,
for example meaning on PAP on scottsh slang , what is the relation between this meaning and the service?
I think everyone on this page might have just violated article 8 of their poorly written TOS:
So sensitive!
Resellers need to make money so they have these crazy terms and terribly stupid late/suspension fees
We are NOT reselling any services BUT dedicated servers :)
HOWEVER , we do not take these money , they are just for PREVENTATION
Agreed. The ToS is very poorly written and filled with lots of spelling mistakes.
I have something similar is our own ToS although I’ve only used it once with a spammer who I had warned previously. Booted them after their little rant in our support forums. Filled with rather interesting four letter words and ways that I should enjoy my own mother if you catch my drift.
I think most providers have something similar in theirs.
They link to a review site but yet there’s no reviews on there.
I would be very appreciated if you tell us the mistakes so we can fix them
I did. It’s poorly written and filled with spelling mistakes. I would suggest reviewing other providers’ ToSes and running the document through a spell checker.
I can’t correct it for you as it;s a policy document and I don;t work for your company.
From reading your responses though here on this site as well as from viewing your website, I know I wouldn’t deal with your company. There’s an extreme lack of professionalism showing. I mean if your company can’t take the time to spell check your own policy documentation, how can I trust you with my data?
You are right about that :)
but we are not English Spoken
We have checked it with a Spell checker and i think it should be OK now
You *think* it’s ok? You *THINK* your legal document, the only think that would protect you if you got your ass hauled into court, is ok?
People can say things this is freedom of speech :)
“or any other communication stuff.”
Über–professional.
Aaa :)
i appreciate that part you are mentioning :)
we will fix this
thanks for your review
I am wondering if they will have stock of these
http://ipap.co/services/dedicated-server/
Pretty good price.
Also, in the VPS page, it says, you can ask for openVZ or Xen
And they have a VDS page, with good plans too. Dedicated Core i7 with 512 and 50GB storage for $6.95, Xen or VMware… Sounds great :P
Hey,
We are having great news regarding Deds :)
you will see the revolution in couple of days :)
More cheaper and better specs!
Good to hear that. Wish you the best :)
I saw some Ipap offers about a month ago on WHT. For some reason they got deleted. Buyer beware?
Reason has been described on our website!
@LEA – This design looks to be the new ‘Paton Designs’ of 2010 eh?
I’ve now seen at least 2 other companies using it.
Francisco
they usin esxi instead of esx too, awesome
Wait, why would they use any VMware server if they are selling KVM?
Nevermind, got it mixed up with with another featured provider, but still, if this is OpenVZ, what does esxi or esx have to do with anything?
They are very different types please refer to this page for ESXi/XenServer plans
http://ipap.co/services/virtual-dedicated-servers-vds/
Yeah we USe VMWARE ESXi with premiume PLUS license :)
We have to type of VPS one with Kernel one without
So based on what you have said in this thread, you have OpenVZ, Xen, and VMware, anything else up your sleeve?
OpenVZ,
Citrix XenServer 5.5/5.6
VMWARE ESXi 4.1 latest update
Also we have some Hyper-V servers but as they are not in VolumeDrive so we can not offer them on IPAP
It is Phenomenon WordPress Theme :)
Their WHT account just recently created with low post count and show as “disabled”. Not a good sign.
It has been described on our website :)
Just jealousy of others was the reason :)
We tried our best to get it back but …. :(
and for your info our WHT account was created 1 year ago which i think it is not RECENTLY or may be you are from past :)
Oops, is my bad. :)
Can you post screenshots of dialog with WHT regarding the ban?
I am very interested in anything that shows their membership favoritism and I think everyone at lowendbox.com deserves to know.
We have plans to do that :)
Because their behavior was not professional and for your info about the favoritism be sure they have not talked directly about it in their ticketing system , we have some other parties :)
but they are having an absolutely bad behavior
we will publish it later on any forum we can that why we got banned and what WHT leaders did to make us accept we are guilty and make themselves sure that we will be banned
I bought a dedicated server from them when they offer a $34.95 Athlon. At that time the client area and payment page is not fully established and I communicate with them via e-mail and their on-line chatting.
Before I bought the server I had quite a long chat with them and what they say is as same as what they expose here: They are UAE & Turkey based organization and planning to open an Office in Canada.
It’s been a month now, and I’m quite satisfied with them, as their e-mail response is quite fast. I got the feeling that they try to satisfy everybody… :)
Thans for your kind words
It’s based on our quite intensive communication, actually. :)
Since both you and I are note native English speakers, I think we both have to be patient as small glitches of misunderstanding might arise sometimes.
But hey, as long as we have good intention, everything would be fine :)
imho, anything under $6 with more than 1tb bw and 512mb ram deserved to be posted here,
it’s better than those articles posted lately here tho.. :p
Under $6 with 1TB bandwidth and 512MB RAM is going to be a massively oversold host full of abusers.
Have you tried it and say it is oversold?!
Uses a free template cannot spell. Sounds more like a 14 years old who just got approved as a reseller.
:)
I think a 14 years old can search NET and see that this template is not free :)
I don’t think you should be comparing yourself to the ability of a 14 year old.
And a quick google shows that you can download the theme for free:
http://www.free-premium-wordpress-themes.com/themeforest-phenomenon-wordpress-theme
The link YOU ARE REFERRING is illegal , warez and … :)
You can download many softwares for free BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW that they are FREE , if you download them free you are acting against DMCA Laws :)
ALSO this sentence :
“Uses a free template cannot spell. Sounds more like a 14 years old who just got approved as a reseller.”
Shows that he thought the template is free which is not
But it’s copyrighted, so you can only use it when you have purchased it…
It’s wordpress. It’s automatically GPL‘ed. Downloading it for free is not warez. If you’re going to use a tool, please understand the tool.
And please turn off the caps. All you’re doing is reinforcing other people’s opinion about your ability. Considering your previous examples of this company’s extreme lack or professionalism, that’s not too hard to do.
And would you please go back and spell check your ToS and in fact your entire website. If you can;t even spell the word Unlimited, how can we trust you with our data? And, yes, I would like an answer to that question.
So drmike i think discussing with you about what is warez and what is not , is going no where :)
and this things are way too out of the post’s subject
and if you are reviewing our website please let us know where the problem is as we ask our customers and other people to report us if anything is wrong!
but for you , i think you are going somewhere else as you have a web hosting company and it seems and feels from your posts that you want to beat other by these kind of sayings! :)
@drmike: Your link says nothing outside the .php files needs to be GPLed. CSS, images, etc. can all be under any license, including nonfree. No idea if that’s the case with the theme in question, but it sounds to me like the possibility exists for some themes to be warez if distributed without permission.
Also sounds to me like the SFLC claiming a theme’s PHP is derivative solely because it calls WordPress’s API and is designed to run in the context of wordpress. I suspect that claim is already a bit shaky, but if anyone ever creates any sort of non-GPLed software with a compatible API which can make use of (unmodified) wordpress themes, even that claim to the PHP files alone having to be GPLed would disappear. Personally I’d avoid redistributing/using a theme without either the author’s permission or an explicit license allowing that redistribution/use.
haha, just tried closing the tab with your earlier link to the download. Wow, that’s a sleazy site.
drmike, Did you try downloading it? The whole website is a fake. All the links are to advertising offers.
If I was interested in beating anyone, I would be advertising here as well as linking to my site instead of a personal blog. Thank you for once again proving to me that you really don;t have a clue as to what you;re doing.
@fanovpn, it’s just one link, not the entire discussion behind it. Anything more than a couple of links gets the comment held up in moderation. You may want to become more familiar with WordPress as it appears that you may not be. WordPress has taken the opinion that everything within a theme has to be GPL’ed. (Even though the EFF says otherwise.)
And that’s not the only place where one can download that theme. (by the way, LEA, feel free to remove that link.)
They offer free domain name if you prepay for 1 year.
Yes we are ,
IPAP CO admin: check out this page. It hasn’t been modified or edited.
http://ipap.co/services/
Ok they just removed the template information.
I think, IPAP Co is good at what it does(technically). They just need to improve on a nitty gritty thing which some people might consider as turn off or think as warning signs for the nitty gritty.
No-one is perfect anyway. Improving yourself to get better or perfection(never ending job) is better than considering yourself to be know it all.
This page is probably just a placeholder for the menu so they can have a dropdown. Either their template doesn’t support custom menu’s or they don’t know how to use them.
Would be nice if their links/social media in the bottom right wasn’t covered by zopim…
Peoples are attacking! LOL. I think we should just consider price, service and support. Poor English, bad looking templates… these shouldn’t be considered while you are looking for a cheap one.
Service and support is included in what you’re trying to gloss over. Again, how can you trust a site with your data when they can;t even handle their own material?
I have order basic vps plan to ipap, and i have payed with paypal , but in paypal payment pages, it showed me that my paypment will send to ‘ gdzien@gmail.com‘ ( Grzegorz Dzie ). is he from ipap ?
i don’t understand, i order and pay at 15/03/2011 , now i don’t receive any server info.
The last time I pay was to gdzien@gmail.com
Just submit your ticket if you haven’t got your VPS.
Grzegorz is one of Founders :)
and it is because it seems you had sent money instead of paying through our paypal gateway :)
so there was no transaction log in your acoount at ipap.co/clients
so we chek our paypal and added your transaction ID manually :)
your VPS is being delivered any minute now
i just want to know they are real vps provider or fake ?
Absolutely Real,
and your VPS got delivered
i got it now , thank you
You are welcome ,
please always use paypal link in invoices for paying or if you did not received the receipt from our billing system for your payment , open a ticket containing transaction ID and amount of the payment so that we can add it to your account
Warmest Regards
Mate, can you report how your VPS is doing? Can you list the output of dd, cat /proc/cpuinfo and cat /proc/user_beancounters ?
Thanks.
ipap vps internet speed is quite slow :(
1.2 M/s to cachefly ,2 M/s sometime. quite slow than other services.

I hired a dedicated box with them 7 days ago (2 days more than the wait time limit that is written on their site), and i still didnt have it delivered. I opened a ticket, But i got just the obvious response that it was late on schedule.
Im beggining to think I may never get my server….
Hello,
Thank You , NO this is not that way sir , data-center has not delivered the server to US yet!
Actually data-center has not delivered lots of servers ;)

It is on CloudFlare :)
even if our server gets down our site would be online please check your internet connection and get back to us :)
what happend with ipap vps connection ? very slow .. already open a ticket , not reply yet
For those who come across this thread via a search, they may want to review this other thread:
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/ipap-co-xen-vmware-scranton/#comments
It covers their inability to take ownership of their problems, their inability to communicate, their inability resolve customer complaints, their inability to understand and use Paypal, their inability…
Ah hell, you get the idea.
STAY AWAY FROM IPAP.CO…. They are providing a shitty service with shitty performance with super shitty customer service.
Once again…. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!
im ok with ipap now except still slow connection in some vps from US server . good luck to you all
this ipap staffs didn’t check tickets well. they deleted my vps, the one which i didn’t request to terminate. now i lost my vps and my data. if i request something they always reply ‘ we’ll do it’, but they did shitts now :((((((((
Their servers seem to be a scam http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1093153
I loved your post. Many obliged.
