Thanks for the posting!
As was mentioned, this offer is a “Thank you!” to the LEB/LET communities for their support during our datacenter crisis earlier this month.
Also, any of our other plans are up/down-gradeable to any other plan, including this one. Just pay the difference.
Just if I have any idea what to use this vps for, I will buy it :D
benchmarks :P
Too many benchmark..
Indeed, our interactivity goes to crap due to people obsessively running benchmarks. Type “ipxcore benchmarks” in Google for benchmarks that have already been completed.
Don’t have idea what to use, so just benchmark it…
Too many benchmark with similar result, hehe.
What will happen if everybody do benchmark at the same time?
Node will be abused :p
It took me less than five minutes to order. Let see how this baby go.
Ordered three myself and all popped into my mailbox in minutes too, hopefully they’re reliable :D
Is the vSwap no longer available?
The servers for vswap are a bit overloaded, so we’re still honoring vswap requests, but not advertising it.
Is the advertised burst ‘burst to’ or ‘burst’?
It’s 320MB total.
question. since the burst is 320 and free and top gives almost twice the actually used ram, arent we getting 160 ram here? that is the reason why burst is usually 2x the guaranteed right so we can really get the guaranteed ram? no? yes? no? -consider privvmpages and oomguarpages.
I guess that’s what other providers do.. but you’re getting 256 guar, with burst up to 320mb. To be honest, I don’t see the point in offering burst as 2x the guar ram; why not just sell the 2x amount as the guar?
Just to be sure, since in privvmpages/burst you set a limit of 320mb, it will be pointless to have oomguarpages/guaranteed set to a limit of 256 mb since as soon as you hit around 160 mb in oomguarpages, you are already hitting 320 mb in privvmpages/burst. this usually holds true for openvz’s using UBC since the privvmpages gives used + allocated which is around twice the oomguarpages. in short, we can see say that 160 mb will be the *guaranteed ram here, not 256.
I’ve read, and re-read your explanation there, but the only thing I can come up with is “huh?”.
So even though i’m explicitly setting privvmpages and oomguarpages, OVZ is going to completely ignore the setting for oomguarpages and make privvmpages = *2 oomguarpages? Or am I still missing something here?
I apologize for my density this morning.
i hope this helps: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=6933231&postcount=16
That’s why I had them switch me to vswap. The memory management is much more efficient and the amount of memory “used” drops significantly.
Doing some playing around, using yum update as a test. When I increase burst ram, yum update still fails, however, when I increase guar ram, yum update works properly. I’ll do more research into it. Thanks for the link!
I have two of their 32MB VPS’s and they’ve been great. I use one as a VPN and the other for monitoring 6 servers with Monit and Munin. Support was fast as well.
I also have one of the 32MB’s, that I got the night before the Atreu outage. Seeing the heroics of the data center move was worth the price of admission all by itself. There were a few hiccups in the first day or so after the 32MB arrived in the new location, but it’s been solid since then.
I jumped in. Do you still have the Pheonix location?
We do not, we’re done with Phoenix, as we were unable to find any datacenters in a reasonable price range that could meet our requirements.
im thinking of getting this, not for any web traffic, just to use it for shell scripting, im currently on fbsd, so i like to test some stuff on linux
just wondering, you have internal ip with free traffic?
We haven’t had any requests for it yet, so we haven’t set anything up. If you’re willing to work with us and work out any bugs with it, we’ll work on it and give you the month free, for putting up with us :)
I’ll pass
To those whou purchased, mind running this:?

Thank you for posting some benchmark
The next time use pre tags.
Placed an order last night and immediately received an invoice, which I let stay pending temporarily because I had a support ticket in progress about customizing the plan.
This morning I get an auto-email that the invoice is overdue so shrug, I go ahead and pay it. Within a minute I get an email saying my server is provisioned and my management console password is [same password I gave as root password when ordering the server].
Minor quibble, plaintext passwords should never be emailed, but everyone else does it too, so ok, I’m used to it. Additional slightly confusing thing til I figured it out: the console password in the email was wrong, since it’s the same management console that controls my other ipxcore vps, so the password was already something different. Once I figured out it was the same control account and that the old password worked, things were fine. I guess this is a SolusVM problem so I don’t blame ipxcore for it, but those of you with multiple vps’s that don’t have the same password might encounter it.
New server seems to work fine, based on logging in and trying a few things. Very fast (instant) setup once I already had an account in the system. I think the first one (a few weeks ago, before the data center move) took an hour or so to be approved, which is also pretty fast.
Nice job!
I will fully agree that the way Solus handles serial console is somewhat braindamaged :)
This was actually the web control panel rather than the serial console, sorry for any confusion.
Support reply in 4 minutes. Nice.
Maybe it’s a dumb question, but how can a VPS be offered under $2?
At most dedicated server providers I look at an additional IP is $1 per month and roughly the same goes for the SolusVM Panel.
How do you handle DMCA complaints? Please explain in detail. (Like do you forward it to the client, or simply suspend? and how do you validate it, is there 2 strike termination)
In case of suspension, how long before you delete the vps data? or do you delete it in the first place?
Sold out :(
Out of stock already.

I guess I am lucky to grab one before the stock ran out. :p

We’ve added another /24 of IPs. Working through the backlog of orders, and we’ll be open for new orders very soon.
How is the hardware holding up in terms of capacity? 256 more of these plans sounds like a lot…
So far it’s holding it’s own. One server is ‘full’ so it’s out of the provisioning pool, even though it’s only utilizing 7 gb out of 24gb of ram.
We’re buying more servers either this week, or next week.
Tomorrow is the last day for this promotion!
why it show 256MB/288MB RAM in ordering?
No idea. I don’t think anyone’s gotten 288mb of ram. I’ll fix it eventually.
And this offer is expired.

Hi IPXCORE
I’m on the east coast and its out of stock on August 2. You guys are awsome, get more deals to us soon. We need more VPS from you guys. Thanks
Good website, their site is listed on our list and we monitor him from last few month..
good uptime.

I’d really like to have one.

Got one of their 32 MB servers and it has been excellent, it’s been up since i got it, no packet loss, great speed. Fits my needs perfectly, loved the fact that i could activate tun/tap myself. Highly recommended.
Arrgghh I’m a little late, Out of stock
Scammer, had deleted my vps without notice and then send me aplozige mail that they delete the vps by mistake. Even they dont have any backup!! lol! I will suit this shit provider ipxcore on court. Will shutdown this basted provider.
@CentrioHost: Sue him for 175 Cent? :)
You want backup + live chat + SSD server at 175 cent?
i hope there is more 32 MB VPS to come. :’c
When I ordered, my vps got cancelled b/c of potential “fraud”.
Their reason? That my phone line’s area code doesnt match the billing address.
Apparently they never heard of these things called CELL phones or Voice over IP.
Ok, fine, granted that the support lives inside a cave… I contact the support
WTF?
I gotta BEG you to take my money?
People: SCREW this shit VPS company. Go take your business elsewhere.
His is a poor!!! The company not configure DNS reverses… so my emails don’t work!
I Lost my time with poor support!!
