IPAP.co emailed me their virtual dedicated server offers a while ago. Decent packages on either Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi platform, and the price starts at $6.95/month for their “VDS Eco” plan.
- 512MB memory
- 50GB storage
- 50GB FTP backup storage
- 4TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi (with Premium Plus license)
Servers are with VolumeDrive in Scranton according to their datacenter page, which I think will go through BurstNet for connectivity. While their About page is still empty (and the rest of the site far from “organised”), from their previous offer page they are UAE/Turkey based. At lease vRozenSch00n has good reviews on their service. Their WHT account is still disabled. Although they claimed that “it has been described on our website” (I guess this not-very-informative blog post), “other people’s jealousy” has been blamed — I still don’t find that convincing. They have indeed fixed quite a bit of issues on their website. It is also now hiding behind CloudFlare. We’ll see.

LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.
Sir , we have lots of BW 🙂
we have no server with 50TB on it 😉
The limit is 5TB not 50TB 🙂
all i know, hetzner is doing this kind of lame bandwidth limit to ANYONE not only IPAP.. if you don’t believe me, ask everyone involved with itexpert’s DE VPS last month.
the difference here is, itexpert choose to close their DE offering, and all clients on hetzner facility moved to other datacenter they’re having server with (client can choose which location).
but IPAP keep trying to use hetzner.. be more understanding guys..
Then shouldn’t they have read the TOS/points before dumping into hetzner? Hetzner isn’t giving anyone extra BW so why claim they have 50TB per box? Are they forking the extra ~800/m for that much traffic?
We tried to setup with hetzner last year but they refused to budge on many of those policies so we said screw it.
Francisco
of course i don’t know about what you’re asking, i’m just a customer who have a lot of vps, with buyvm too.. 😀
all i’m saying is my experience with ultra low cost vps provider before (especially Germany)
the upcoming trouble for ipap if they keep doing their operation like this is server shutdown due to illegal activity. I have a feeling a lot of leecher using their service..
CHeck this :
http://029.img98.net/out.php/i273673_hetzner2.jpg
we have a server at hetzner that is for media streaming which has like 350TB BW ;)!
When i say something i know what is hetzner what is their limit and ECT for example the BW on Giga-International Datacenter for us is 100Mbps Dedicated and each server has 2 x 100Mbps!
i am now searching my email for the Abusive emails they send that someone has told hetzner about that!
Admin, you have replied here many times but i am still waiting for my ticket.
Please check it out: #166186
will get to that , actually IPAP has threee senior admins , Me , Amir and Greg 🙂
Greg is responsible for yours!
OK sir,
seems take a long time to resolve speed problem on hetzner vps,
can you move my vps to usa datacenter?
I don’t know what hatzner and IPAP do, and i honestly don’t care about that. I am a customer who
ask for what i paid and what IPAP promised, and i don’t got what i paid for like more customers here…
That’s all
yes, and did they refuse to give you what you paid for? did they running away with your money and leave you with nothing? all i can see is they’re trying hard to deliver what we’re paying for (see my comment here before, i’m also complaining before). It’s our choice to be here, they’re not forcing anyone to buy vps from them right?
let’s wait and see what would happen after hetzner engineer working again.. if they still fail, you could always leave them and go with other provider (chargeback if you want to). 😀
It seems quite difficult to ask for refund, I have quite a lot experience with vps providers
I had ever ask refund to hostrail, due two of vps very slow response.
Also at that time I did not want both of vps that I order moved to another node.
Since I bought the server for my customer (I’m as “small” reseller),
and my customers do not want to wait for it.
Although quite difficult, eventually they will give me refund, as the credit.
So that I can use this credit to buy (addon) or upgrade another VPS.
faizal they sell something right? They promise something to clients, then clients buy from them, and get what?
Lets say like this…When you go to the bakery and buy bread, you pay and you wait 15 days to make them? I don’t think so…So stop posting here if you don’t have something smart to say 🙂
it’s up to me to post here or not right? maybe i’m not smart, but i know you’re not the owner of this site, so you can’t forbid anyone to post or not.
your analogy about bread here is not relevant as far as i concern. 😛
you know fanaticalvps.com? their price can’t be considered as budget provider, but they have this exact same situation with ipap few weeks ago, they’re with hetzner too, and it could be fixed only after hetzner engineer do their job. so, figure it out yourself if you’re smart.
Faizel
I don’t need and i don’t want to know what IPAP have with HETZNER coz that is not my problem…Me and other ppl here have deal with IPAP not with HETZNER so pls sto talking about them…If you pay something you need to get something what you pay for or maybe nope? If you can not give what you said and promise to your customer do not even offer that it’s logical. So lets sey for last time, i don’t have nothing with hetzner so stop post about them!!!Only with IPAP i have something and only that is important to me…
then why don’t you stop being ipap customer? if you understand the situation you’re in, you wouldn’t make a post like this. what can ipap do in this situation? did the server in ipap’s own facility or hetzner’s facility? if it’s in hetzner’s facility, did ipap have a staff there? if they have a staff there, did they have an authority to lift that limit?
did this limitation only happening with ipap? you’re smart right? figure it out yourself then..
we just hope this German’s Holiday does not want to include tomorrow 🙂
the things which is killing me is how can a company leaves their servers alone on holidays?!
i waited 20 minutes on phone and got no asnwer from support!
Your fault for not getting 24-7-365 SLA. Not theirs.
What’s killing me is how you’ve managed to avoid my request for a refund on the dedicated box that has never appeared yet you can post on here?
I’ve CC’d all your known addresses & raised a dispute with PayPal and not a single peep out of you?
Apparently I have to wait for Volume Drive to refund them before I get my refund? What kind of way is that to do business? I’ll tell you – NO WAY WHATSOEVER, Volume Drive is your concern not mine.
Worst customer service ever and well done guys, first dispute I’ve EVER had to raise with PayPal.
Furious isn’t the word.
All I hope is, you learned your lesson, solved this issue fast by any means and think hard to prevent this kind of situation from happening again whether in hetzner or any other datacenter you get your server from.
every datacenter have different policies, so i hope you understand what their policies are.
faizal how much time i need to say you same thing?! I don’t want to speak about hetzner coz i don’t buy any thing from them. I know just one thing, i pay IPAP for some services and they did not give me what i pay for…All other story about, what hetzner do, or what ipap do with them, is not my problem, that is IPAP problem and they need to solve this not me…Im just a customer who pay for something, and dont get that…Can you understand that or maybe i need to paind for you?
I will say for last time now, i have buy services from IPAP and what they do, where the host, or any other thing is not my problem.I just want what i pay for…Can you understand that?
i totally understand what you’re saying although i’m not smart..
but can you understand all of my post? if you get that much stress because of this situation, why don’t you just chargeback your payment to them and buy elsewhere who could meet your standard?
IF hurricane electric have problems affecting all buyvm server, will you keep complaining like this?
After having used IPAP since the beginning of this offer, I can give the following review:
Virtualmin installed FAST. Updates install FAST. I have not run any benchmark programs, but the processor speed has not been an issue.
For bandwidth, I have been using it as a proxy server on my two home office desktop machines, and I do not notice any difference in speed page load. This is not just Firefox, but is set as system-wide proxy on my Ubuntu machines. I even downloaded the full Debian Lenny DVD set via proxy to test the download speed, average seemed to be about 200 kB/s. That is the speed I normally get on system updates from mirror.kernel.org
So far the server has been very much acceptable.
My only problem is the IP addresses. Requested a second IP for DNS via ticket, was told to email info@ipap with request reason for IP.
Sent email, no response.
In my estimation, the server is solid, the resource portions are generous, but I can’t use it as a “hot spare” for my commercial sites without the second IP address.
If you want to run a game server or an eggdrop bot, I would recommend IPAP.
For an affordable business failover? I don’t know. The jury is still out on that one.
I hope that they will do the right things and become a great web hsoting service.
🙂
Uplink mus be solved if you still have isue plesae contact support!

This is the last from my VPS… I sent a ticket three hours ago, and I didn’t receive any answer yet.
Guillermo sorry to see that. They are realy realy slow, but they will answer on your ticket soon i hope…
@ fugoki
unfortunately , VolumeeDrive is responsible for servers (in all cases) we are not we are only responsible for VDS,VPS.Shared and .. 🙂
you have refsued all of are offers and you want refund we need to ask VD and it will be done within 24 hours i think!
if not done we will refund your money on our own 🙂
Hi, i understand that you have three admins but the one responsible for my ticket is not responding so can you please take a look.
I normally get a reply within a few hours but as soon as i opened this one there has been many issues and long replies. #166186
Excuse me I havent refused anything, 3 weeks is long enough to wait and I PAID YOU not volumedrive, why teh hell am I dealing with you if this has nothing to do with you?
And this
“Hello,
OK if you want to work on dispute that is something else 🙂
that will take time on yoU!
VD Refund .. will take AT MOST about 24 hours but a dispue cna take upto 3 weeks!
you can chosse 24 hours or dispute!
we said we will need to wait for VD and then if they did not refund within next 24 hours we will refund you your money back!
make your choice!
IPAP Co . Customer Service
”
Is bordering on threatening.
BUYER BEWARE
Also, you never said anything of the sort.
Previous email:
“Hello we have sent your request to VD and they will refund us please be patient!
IPAP Co . Customer Service ”
You have consistently provided NO information. I have better things to do with my time then waste it asking the same questions repeatedly.
Take ownership and deal with it. REFUND ME.
NOw im being threatened, dancy explaining this ->
unfortunately you have to call the dispute off then we will refund you 🙂
and you will be banned from doing business with us for ever as we can provide services to customers like you 🙂
@fugoki
that is not threatening!
we will refund you , in some case you are threatening US 🙂
yo can go and get a server from ANYWHERE else 🙂
our billing department is not working 24 x 7 you should understand this which you never want to understand!
anyway i hope you can satisfy your self somewhere else and you will never threaten anybody on any company whch from very first you did!
threatening is lnguage of war!
Unbelievable.
It’s a dispute. A DISPUTE. DEAL WITH IT AND REFUND ME.
(edited to remove personal attacks)
I’ve been nothing but accommodating and have the emails to prove it; I have now lost all patience with you.
Running a business? YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.
Don’t bother. They don’t get it even though it’s been proven time and time again to them. They would rather blame everybody else and insult them than take ownership for their problems.
Well thanks for finally making a refund, why you felt the need to play avoidance is beyond me, not the way to do it people. What a bunch of fscking eejits; threatening me with not doing business with you again??? DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK I WOULD WANT TO???
@drmike In my defence I was slightly inebriated when I thought “what the hell its only thirty quid”, big mistake.
I should invoice them for the time spent dealing with their nonsense.
Nice closing email from IPAP:
“You have got refunded and we will mark you as scammer and fraud as your IP is from cloudflare which is unaccepted!”
I have no idea what they’re talking about which is fine since they obviously have no idea either.
Nearly fell off my chair.
LOL fugoki xD
I understand but, stop the rage. This is solved right? Don’t get more problems.
And teah, that email is weird.
@yomero Look it’s not about public venting it’s about letting others know just what they’ll have to put up with.
56 nonsense emails over this. 56. Crazy threats, nonsense language. If they’d answered my bloody emails to start with I’d never have posted here.
Well now you’ve got something to post over at WHT. 🙂
56 emails? Ouch. These are the providers that really shouldn’t be listed here anymore. I know that LEA disagrees with that but any company this bad shouldn;t even be given the time of day.
What’s that address of that bad vps providers review site? May want to drop them a note.
dr4mike you just want to tell something about us which has nothing with you 🙂
you do not have even 1 service even 1 domain with us! please stop doin such things!
fugoki :
Please do not insult you are just saying nonsene and we will have nothing with you ever!
your registered IP in our system is from CloudFlare 🙂
i assume you are using Proxy or something which is totally against our rules!
@IPAP Co. Admin: Again, please check my ticket and issue my refund. I find it amazing how fast you reply to the people here, i am watching the email notifications.
The IP is from cloudflare because you are *USING* cloudflare. It is a *REVERSE PROXY*, thus *ALL* clients IPs will show cloudflare because you set up cloudflare wrong. It’s not his fault, learn to setup the damn service you’re using.
IPAP, you do not know how to run a server. Seriously. You have no idea what you’re doing, quit while you’re ahead.
(@IPAP, not @fugoki)
@cd & ab :
Dear sirs , can u please tell me why his IP is from Cloudflare and not others?!
pleas espeak of someting you know 🙂
but actually his IP is for cloudflare only one time other times it is from his Orangehomedsl ISP! which is correct and we confirm that!
so we will apology for this 🙂
LOL.
Anyway, they had three weeks to check me for fraud AFTER taking $50 off me? I’m one of those extra tricky fraudsters who pays you and then runs away… WATCH OUT! I’LL SNEAK IN THE NIGHT AND LEAVE YOU MONEY FOR I AM THE GOOD NINJA FRAUDSTER!
(edited: remove insult)
@IPAP Co. Admin: Please give me a call at +1.707.636.4977 and I will explain everything.
If you would like, I could call you to save on long distance charges. Shoot me an email with a number to call: cd@myeml.net
Hello IPAP,
I’ve attempted to give you a call on the number registered on your domain name, but it seems the party on the other end didn’t know anything about your business. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to decline the job offer as I have interests with other companies at this time.
~ cd
i dunno where are 56 emails of yours but we have only few tickets from you not 56 and your language is totally insulting and … 🙂
When you order a dedicatedserver from VD you must wait so long 🙂
this is their way of business and we are not responsible in this case 🙂
and please let us know if we have threatens you 56 times 🙂
i do not want to share private info of yours , but really you are saying like we have threatened youfrom very beginning!
you really think you can reach our billing on weekend?!
do not you live on this very planet?!
do you work 24×7?!
…. 🙂
anyway you are someone just want to says bad bad bad … 🙂
the only emails we said we will put you as scammer is our very last email!
@ DrMike :
sir i think if you have got problem with us it is better we solve it at law court?!
please email info@ipap.co and we will connect you to our lawyer in USA thanks!
I’ve got news for your mate, if you share my private information on the internet you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.
I do nto remember calling you idiot and will never call you that , this is just showing your way of doing business by insulting ppl 🙂
i am more than sorry for you , really there is no word in world to describe how i am sorry for you , you better work on your language instead of working on INTERNET …
Oh the irony. IPAP Co. Admin is point out language concerns of others. When I pointed out issues with hist own site, he blew them off.
By the way, thanks for the threat. Screen cap taken and a copy of both threads saved to the hard drive.
refund me too, over one week , I got no VPS, are you kidding when give me: “you server ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, your root user xxx” ??? my email lehongquang@gmail.com
Always please do not rely on emails 🙂
please go to member area and click on my services and check for your info!
We do apology for any inconvenience caused!
we added 25 GB for free to your VDS to cheer you up , again sorry for delay!
you can contact our admin , he will you more free stuff 🙂
when contacting him please refer to this topic 🙂
Um, how can you add extra space if they’re trying to cancel their account and get a refund?
@ BluePanda
sir , your ticket needs to becheck by Biling department, this ID in here is being used by multiple ppl!
Thanks for the response.
I believe there are three admins who each have the same level of access, is this correct? Why else would you call your two colleagues “admins”?
I was asking if you (seeing as you are one of the three admins) could check my ticket and process the refund for the month I have not yet used.
Again, thanks in advance.
Hello,
this account was used by our admin but now it barely being checked by him!
also , please kindly reopen the ticket so that we can continue with your request!
Also , for admins ,
there are 3 ppl owning this company and we call them Admins 🙂
I have reopened this ticket, looking forward to having this solved. All i meant is that if three people own the company then all three people would have access to the PayPal to process the refund but i understand that the account is no longer used by the admins with all the disputes here.
There is no use in reopening the ticket.. I do not get a reply within 12 hours and the system closes it.. Please ask your admin to check my ticket, im not going to keep opening the ticket only to have it closed. I have done that three times already.
Opened AGAIN.
@ DrMike ,
when you told us issue we took care of that , changed TOS , and many things!
but when you are promoting ppl to do things against us that is kinda threat!
and all i want is if you got a problem with us please make it in court!because you are doing harm to us!
i dunno where you guys live but this is our right to have law enforcement in our side and and make complaints !
and please tell me, have you seen even just one time , if any of our staff has insulted anybody or told someone, something like :
YOU CALL OFF THE PST OR WE WILL TERMINATE YOU?!
did we say something like this ever?!
no , we are just defending ourselves from bunch of people who are laming others for their own good 🙂
and DrMike you are one of these people!
More threats. Resaved thread.
Yes, please review your own comments here.
LEA, can we get a copy of the IP address these are being posted from please? Thanks.
On top of this page, I wrote “don’t buy if you want to sleep at night, horrible”
but people ignored and bought the vps and now complaining this and that.
when somebody gives advise, listen sometimes, you may have sound sleep at night.
Well, you all deserve what you’ve got, I guess.
additionally , if you were/are our customer and had a bad experience i apology on behalf of IPAP Co. Ltd.,
We hope we can meet your satisfaction level next time.
Where’s my apology?
@Drmike ,
you are really funny person 🙂
We will defend our right and will see what you have got?
just repeatedly say :
OH THEY THREATENED ME TO DO SOMETHING AGAINST MY NONSENSES?
just to remind you , we have right to see what is your benefit in laming all companies in here specially us!
I will make sure my lawyer contacts you 😉
we are done talking to you!
this post is becoming like our ticket system!
@ Macro :
You are not even our customer 🙂
and there is noting wrong with our server/support in any VPS/VDS/Shared/Reseller plans 🙂
There is some delay because we are short of staff , many orders and etc 🙂
but there should e nothing horrible in your case 🙂
we try our best to satisfy cusotmer in anyway we can , but we can never provide any service to cusotmer that insults or becomes violant 🙂
any way this post is becoming like somehting not related to subject 🙂
please advise if anyone has not registered at WHMCS or has the speed issue yet , we will take care of that!
if you have huge downtimes, if you had some problems please give me ticket id but i doubt you got any 😉
thank you
More threats. Resaved thread.
Anyone want to put money on when he’ll stop?
You asked me a question. I gave you an answer. Please follow up.
You can assume it as anything you want 🙂
I duuno why you do not want to stop?
do you think trying to show ppl bad is a good way of living and earning money?!
i don’t think so!
@ Fugoki :
there is a privacy policy which won’t let us do it and we will never do such thing!
but unfortunately you are insulting us and … what we can do about this?
And YOU and drmik whom are great in finding threats , must know your post is a threat huh?!
anyway , we can not continue this childish posts!
Please answer my question. I’m still waiting.
Na na na na na na!
It’s also interesting that he defends his right to say whatever he wants but when others point out problems, the legal threats start.
If anyone would care to tell me what range they’re in over at VolumeDrive, I’d love to followup with them to see if they have any outstanding abuse issues.
We have never threatens anyone like you , never promoted any one to do anything against anyone else 🙂
and …. 🙂
if your sayings are illegal so you must be frightened , if your saying are legal then do not panic 🙂
Hilarious. Talk about digging yourself a hole.
@ fugoki :
Great language , even wasting our time to email you or respond to your tickets was a shame 😉
sorry but you are just showing your level of respect and that is lowest level 🙂
If I were you I would be frantically attempting to salvage my business not posting here…

i will not wait to long!
p.s sorry for my bad ENG
Well, what a disaster. On the 9th of April I signed up at IPAP for the basic VPS, I was directed to paypal and I paid 4.95 for the first month (a recurring payment was setup) – it went to a guy called Grzegorz Dzien.
Today is the 27th of April, and despite about 20 attempts to contact them, I have received absolutely no reply, confirmation, access details or welcome email. I have canceled the recurring payment on paypal, and said goodbye to my 4.95.
I don’t care about how much RAM they give or about an attractive price, if I’m unable to even get access to a box.
Good luck IPAP…
I was looking through their website and came across several pages of punctuation marks which are not properly written (or not in-order, as what ‘drmike’ quoted just above). It looks as if the content-writer or webmaster didn’t take the time to re-check the content, commas, full stops etc; or he/she was rushing for time and had forgotten to re-check the content. If they are having a font issue, just maybe that the alphabets and the punctuation mark(s) looks odd when it’s together or side-by-side, then, why not just change the font type via CSS.
Spelling errors, excusable, however, looking at the amount of spaces between the punctuation marks and even spaces between the words and paragraphs (even the homepage title) are indeed, inexcusable. By doing so, it will only arise doubts/questions among people on the Internet about the Company, Management and/or Services, as many would categorize it as being non-professional, even if the the companies intentions are good. This does not apply to IPAP.co only, but to all hosting companies.
Honestly, I’m getting rather bored looking at several hosting companies who are making use of the same web template, even though it is a premium template, which cost $35 USD, which so happens to come with a integrated login module for WHMCS. Uh huh, I’m referring to the WordPress template “Phenomenon” by Bluz. Have you felt like.. ‘Déjà vu’? — I think it’s about time these hosting companies build their very own identity, in terms of web-designs, considering there are a few website designers out there who will do a neat job for a reasonable price.
Yep, IPAP doesn’t look very serious.
If anybody has a _personal_ recommendation for a VPS that
1) has descent uptime
2) has descent support (at least for billing/account opening and all)
3) roughly in the 5-10USD/month range
please let me know.
I now need a replacement.
Hello , i am still waiting for your client number which saydyour VPS is not ready since then! it is very odd that you have not received your service 🙁
if you are right we will give you 1 year of free service , as 22 days is not an acceptable delivery time for a VPS 🙁
Yeah our website has some kinda spelling problem 🙁
we check that and fix it to the highest level we could 🙁
if you can point out this we would be very grateful!
BuyVM.net if they have more stock
directspace.net they are realy good and if they have more stock 🙂
You can always try…
Both websites look very promising – will definitely try one of them – thanks!
Ipap co: I never got a client number – I didn’t get a single email from you. Paypal conf is I-R6L5HSXCJHNX
Free templates are a good way to keep costs down.
I use them on almost all my commercial websites, especially those which rely on price-based advertising.
IPAP seems like a company with “issues”, but the template is not one of those issues.
Complaining about the use of free templates seems like an “ad hominem” attack, where instead of addressing the original problem with an entity, a person instead chooses to attack them in a different area.
Ad hominem attack is a tool of weak minds, and it is disappointing to see you using it.
Try them i have vps with buyvm and with directspace…Both are realy realy good 🙂
Nitros Server was delivered after about 6 days from the transfer of the VDS.
Interesting, its a Nitros Mini Server, but I don’t mind, as it’s what I wanted.
Cachefly’s test was around 6.0M/s, which is ok, at least it’s stable unlike the other VDS.
Another interesting detail about my server is that it is no longer with VolumeDrive but instead with FDC. Rather nice, I wanted a Chicago location (Ohio located) and for a game server that loves resources and people nearby who play it, ping is usually under 50ms. Overall i’m pleased, shame to hear above this comment though, I guess I got a little lucky.
Write I/O is about 80.5M/s, MUCH better then the other VDS, which wouldn’t even give a reading (That’s how bad the I/O was.)
May be possible to upgrade to SSD as FDC offers it, I’m looking into it with them. The Game server is actually really good with writing on SSD’s so it would be a much positive add.
Not a bad server for $25/month. Ticket support is slow, but price = support.
I don’t like that I have no panel to see how much BW I have left or how much RAM is always allotted to the server (Guess I could always check by command-line, but panels look nice) but it’s only a minor setback.
Reinstalling Windows on it shortly. Everything is on a backup VPS (AlienLayer.. unmanaged and they are really good! $14.00/month for a nice VPS) so while they take a few days to do so I’ll mess with that.
Good Service here, still, and the server is holding. I hope it stays that way. I would recommend, but it definitely requires patience and a keen eye to read some of their returns. I feel damn bad for the above though, that is absolutely terrible, and best of luck.
I canceled my account a few moments ago.
The throughput started to vary wildly and it started lagging at odd times.
Also, they never ponied up the second IP.
FAIL.
You must have wait a long time before get 2nd IP, now i get it and i satisfied with ipap service 🙂
My vps setup fast today no more than 1 hour 🙂
hopefully there are no performance issues, I’ll test it now.
Ordered a Xeon X3450 server on April 2nd, still haven’t received it yet. For the most part they were waiting on volumedrive to get more stock. April 24th I was shown an email from volumedrive’s CEO stating that they (volumedrive) were out of IP addresses, and that they would have more that week and get IPAP their servers. April 29th and May 3rd, I was told they were working on it. Hope it wont be too much longer.
Hey,
here is another email from VD CEO for all ppl that in next 24 hours we would get 3 Xeons and next week we have pre ordered ALL XEON servers (about 20)
it is Good that , we will be able to give 2nd month free on those servers 🙂
but first we will not make the last mistake and will wait to get servers first 🙂
but your servers would be delivered friday FOR SURE 🙂 as we have cleared everything with VD about this issue which is just making us shameful infront of our customers 🙁
:
VolumeDrive Support to me
show details 1:22 PM (2 hours ago)
No problem. They’ll be setup tomorrow. Do all three need just the basic IP package?

hello, i se you are busy with other thing but, not with solving my problem..YOUR PROBLEM i can’t log in to pay my billing my ID is 1849
why not?!
you can create an username at ipap.co/members then open aticket regarding migrating your services from old panel to new panel!
can u please?!
ok i did that, and i open a ticket pleas make it fast i need it as fast as possible
Nice offer is it available now? i didnt see it on official web
A X4 Dedicated Server + 4GB RAM + 500GB HDD , Unmetered BW , 10 IPs and Free Plesk is available for rapid provisioning please email info(at)ipap(dot)co for ordering!
rapid means 1-2 hours for delivery 🙂
Uplink is 100Mbps Dedicated!
I can’t access veportal almost 2 days 🙁
oh, only havin problems with ipap.co.
they offer 1gbps, but the uplink is only 100mbs attached. still costs me almos 10$… provided 32bit ubuntu, got 64bit. provided 50gb backupspace. never got any credentials. support is awful. closed my tickets always before resolved.
and again, ticket closed before resolved… don’t know what to do with you guys.
I haven’t received a vps, since I ordered it 5 days ago.
@ Felix
Afaik, they only have 100 mbps port for all vps from vd.
Eh, my server has been down for about 2 hours now.
Hopefully it’s just temporary, but they aren’t answering back either.
To anyone considering Ipap, and interested in an opinion on their actual service, rather than their template or english skills, I’d recommend to give them a chance. I ordered a VDS from them, and it’s great. Only downside is slow setup.
If you happen to live in the US, did your VDS get set up in the US? I do, but my newly set up VDS is in Germany. I didn’t think to ask specifically for a US location. Trying to sort it out now…
Afraid not, I live in Europe and asked for Germany specifically.
How about some details? Specifics? Something to back up your claim? Right now all you have is “it’s great” with nothing to back it up.
You actually feel comfortable going with a provider who threatens people who point out problems with their company?
If you want some specifics, I’ll provide them. But there have been benchmarks posted before.
I do not want to start something here, just let people on here know that some people are actually happy with the service.
Their guy on here seems to have a bit of a temper, true. I do not think it’s ok to threathen customers, but there has also been some fairly rude comments on here on a personal level, and who knows what offsite.
But I value actual thoughts on their offer, not opinions about what website template they should use, or how their english could be better; and I’m certain that there are other people on here who feel the same way.
Just was saying that it would have been nice to list some specifics like speeds or whatnot. Many folks who provide such feedback offer up such proof showing how they feel that way.
As to the rude comments, if you feel interested, you may want to click on the ipap tag up above and see what has occurred in the past. Folks pointed out problems with his website and he got offended with the problems and then more so when he couldn’t get spoonfed.
Thanks for following up.
Was really intrested in this but seems like alot of problems happening.
I dun see any problem except delay in delivery which ppl does not se the delivery time 🙂
Well, i did a reasonable try to this guys and they just dont deliver. Price is not good if you cant rely on them. Things could go right as some times do or just go wrong, they just simply are not there whatsoever. I did have to ask constantly for what they were advertising; for instance ftp backup was delivered on june 4th but my first invoice its from april 15th. I dont want to waste our time with an extense list of issues with this people, just take notice: if something goes wrong you can only rely on your luck, and anyone knows that chance is not only blind, its deaf too (just like IPAP).
HEllo,
FTP BAckup is just a free thing and is not even included in the package 🙂
and its delivery is not with server and may have delay 😉
it is mostly with MORE THAN one month contracts 😉
If you’re advertising the backup along with the VPS and using it as a selling point (which you are) then it is part of the package.
Everybody fails eventually, but you guys at least must fail better 🙂 i did everything to stick with you, belive me, im not even upset, but you cant provide the service not even with a very very low standard, and im know what im talking about because down here (Argentina) we know how to deal with very low standards. Like i said, with you its just a matter of luck. Im going to wish you a huge ammount of it.
Please return to the site, we need your services as before, at least send us an email letting us know what happened to the sites, I wonder if they will draw all or vps will continue online?
iPap.co sucks balls. Their support sucks, and everything else sucks.
I’ve waited over a month to get a VPS, still nothing.
They’re complete idiots, who have horrible grammar, as seen in this:
