20 Jan. Looks like Zulk scammed his customers and did a runner.
Zulkhairi from Kazetech emailed me some of their coupon codes for their VPS plans.
- BIOSHOCK — 70% off for 1st month
- COSMOPOLIS — 20% off recurring
- LOWENDBOX — 50% off recurring, 20-only
Combining their LowEndBox exclusive coupon with VPS plan “KZT[01]-OVZ” takes the price to $3.48/month after the discount, and it comes with
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 1000GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
- OpenVZ/Virtualizor
You can pay in either PayPal, Google Checkout or AlertPay. They are running their own servers colocated with CoreSite in Miami FL (test IP: 99.192.244.254). You can also get Xen VPS but at a more expensive price, and KVM is also coming soon. IRC clients are allowed but not server according to their policies. Domain has only been registered in May this year with WHOIS protection turned on, however they did claim that they are “now hosting over 1000 VPS” on their home page. According to Zulkhairi that they were hosting services for corporate before, but have now opened to public.

East coast so decent ping from the UK, ~115ms. Not in the market for another USA VPS though. :)
The VPS has excellent latency to South American countries.
Wild guess: they are using a Quadranet server.
Nope… we don’t use quadranet server. We own our own hardware. The secret behind the speed is we have a good bandwidth provider/exchange.
Yes, Mojohost one of the biggest providers of hosting to adult Web sites. :-)
So? I host some of the servers for one of the larger content providers. Doesn’t get me laid though.
@drmike:
So that MojoHost has huge installed capacity and you can expect low congestion / good data rates. Moreover as they have a lot of servers at NOTA (NOTA’s biggest client?) and also they provide transit to Coresite facility customers you can expect good support as well.
No, not really. I still hear horror stories about some of my client’s past and current providers. Bandwidth gets used up real fast with their servers. Especially if they get an A list performer for a night.
I know the provider that they used before me promised them tons of bandwidth (and charged them for it) but they couldn’t deliver.
115ms who is you’re isp in uk? 115ms is realy good.
Nah, that’s from a VPS. The ping from home is 139ms. VPS @ Rapidswitch, home net from Be*.
Ahh. I get 157ms from Virgin Media (100Mbit)
SolarVPS (Clifton/NJ) UK2 (London) = 67ms
Looks like Xen and KVM plans are already available for purchase and w/ coupon its $3.50/mth
for the lowest plan of each. (coupon = LOWENDBOX )
Really tempting offer ;0
These plans are not available yet.
Doh sorry ;0 But I guess it works out if you can wait.
Sure, but did you notice the “I also would like to mention about price changes on our cart for KVM and Xen”? :-)
Price changes that I mention in the email refer to plan 03 for both kvm and xen which is previously $15.99 to $12.95 so the price actually will be far more less and not increased.
You misspelled LOWEDBOX it should be LOWENDBOX :)
Was wondering that as well. Is the coupon correct or is it a typo?
That’s obviously a typo on my end :P
Can’t spell your own website, huh? Feeling old yet? Senior moment? :D
wow they are using mojohost for bandwidth so they have 7 bandwidth providers and that internap speed thing, i am on comcast in idaho and get ping times under 40ms
make that 30ms, it got even better during prime time.. lol.
I did a traceroute and they have a direct link to Comcast. I wasnt in the market for a VPS but I just bought one to run a gameserver, got my setup info within 2 minutes… sweet!
Could you please post the 2 traceroute? Thanks.
@ zulkhairi – any plans to do smaller VPSes? like 64MB or so?
maybe on xen or kvm but ram is cheaper nowadays, and we always have ongoing offer for LowEndBox so you will always get a nice set of spec with half of the price with coupon code ofc.
True, I wouldn’t mind a fast and super cheap east coast box for an irc bouncer though, and the plans listed there are way overkill. :)
Does the lowendbox code apply to the seedbox plans?
Also… the first seedbox plan shows up on the homepage, but on the http://www.kazetech.com/vps-plan page there are no seedbox plans listed. When you go to the cart you can add one of three different seedbox plans but can’t see what they include…
We will have another promotion for SeedBox plan. You can always get info about our latest promotion via twitter.
Please do not place any order for seedbox plan until further notice. We are adding new node for seedbox and it’s our latest product which is still under provisioning.
jumped into this one :)
Operator location? it’s too anonymous for me.
I bet everyone will make an issue with domain name is protected with whoisguard tho actually it come free with the domain so why don’t we use it. Anyway whoisguard has been disabled and here is the information you need.
Kaze Technology

United States
Would you reject a customer for filling in fake information when signing up? Then expecting them to trust you with their cash when your own details are hidden is a bit much, no?
Why not include the same contact details on your website too?
Nope we don’t reject them. This is common I guess? If you want to hide your identity on the internet you have the right to do it. But I already put the same information on my signature if you see me replying a ticket.
@Zulkhairi
From your FAQ:
Generally, your VPS hosting account will be provisioned and ready to use minutes after you have placed your order in other words it’s an instant setup.
“it come free with the domain so why don’t we use it”
Umm.. Because you are selling services.. anyway is that data center location or your office location?
Anyway by “operator location” I mean your location not the dc.
Google it? The original post states the servers are colocated with Coresite in Miami.
A little detective work later…
http://www.coresite.com/miami-data-center.php
>CoreSite
>2115 NW 22nd Street
>Miami, FL 33142
So they’re not too far away. http://g.co/maps/w5kj3
@Garry google gave me this (same exact location)
http://datacenters.digitalrealtytrust.com/LocatorDetails?id=a028000000AXPcdAAH
and this
http://www.datacentermap.com/usa/florida/miami/36ne-2nd-street.html
which i think a dc, that’s why i asked him.
The PayPal payments are sent to:

That is where I work unless you need my apartment address listed on it but lets not argue over an address shall we? If you have time and you are nearby maybe we go somewhere after woking hour and get some beers and you gonna buy me the beers :) a lots of it.
“a lots of it”
@Zulkhairi, http://www.aamiami.net/zipcodes.htm#33142 /jk
If you can host over 1000 vps, why new stock availability very limited? It should at least 1000.
You don’t have WHMCS license but at least 1000 of your “corporate clients” trust you :P
Accept orders slowly, provision slowly. Then you can get a feel for how many actual long-term customers you’ll have, so you know exactly how many nodes to provision.
Open orders with no limit will probably end up in a fair number of customers who cancel after 1 month, or get TOS’d off the service, or whatever else happens to make providers lose/kick customers.
Better than getting 6 months in, with 10 half-full servers, then pissing off customers because of the downtime (no matter how short) caused by consolidating it all onto 5 servers.
Also, take on hundreds of customers at a time and they’ll all complain that their dd benchmark results suck. Mainly because they’re all doing them at the same damn time. ;)

I don’t know why they suspend us anyway no other information was provide except for what you can see on google apps account.
But we already switch to Axigen and host our own mail server. It’s easy to use, nice webmail interface and they have a free license as well so anybody who feel like wanna use Axigen on our vps is welcomed.
We still have gapps as our backup mx
I would think being around BuyVM would answer that one.
Why are you using a nulled WHMCS?
“This domain is authorized to be using WHMCS”
cp.kazetech.com
http://www.whmcs.com/members/verifydomain.php
Yeah, now it is. 5 minutes ago they were using a nulled installation. They probably reissued an older license to that domain.
Also, their license expires yesterday?
WHMCS license a4a4adc3cf39 for cp.kazetech.com [99.192.245.34] (Internet Gateway of South Beach) is currently active. Type: Monthly Lease, valid from 2008-06-18 to 2011-09-19 (billed monthly)
;)
Have to admit that while the red flags haven’t appeared yet, the yellow ones are at full mast.
– Whoisguard in an industry that scorns it.
– Incomplete website with incorrect and incomplete information.
– The nulled software.
– The test IP is assigned to Mojohost and appears not to be split off into their own block. Heck doesn’t even have rDNS on it.
– And it’s Florida. Hurricane Highway to America. :)
Pardon me for the incomplete website, I’ll make sure it will come as beautiful until I have more idea what to shove in it to complete our professional profile.
I believe u should check on billing.kazetech.com before to check for that license we just mask it with cp.kazetech.com. So we already fix that issue.
The test IP is our OpenVZ server IP or you could access it at ovza.kazetech.com:4082 or using ip:port. We already switch rDNS to reflect the hostname.
About the hurricane, I’m sorry that I can’t fix that for now :)
Anything else need to be done on my side?
Your observation about Miami is incorrect. I live in North Florida and the last hurricanes to hit Miami was Hurricane Hugo and Andrew, so stop using stereotypes of hurricane hitting Florida because I’ve only evacuated from my home in Florida twice in almost 30 years.
the datacenter for coresite is catagory 5 hurricane protected.
it looks like he fixed all your complaints that were possible. that is good service, i ordered yesterday and opened 2 support tickets and they were already replied to, one within 2 hours, one within 15 minutes.
and my financial risk (if you can even call it that as you can dispute payments) was under the cost of my lunch at a fast food place.
rick
You can dispute payments, but with it being an intangible service, you’ll lose a paypal dispute.
And while to you or I $3.58 is nothing, to some people that’s a few hours’ wages.
You are right. I have successfully disputed a VPS company before and won, but it took about 2 – 3 weeks to get my $5 back.
What were the circumstances? Because like I said, PP offers no guarantees for things like VPSes. You were either lucky or it was obvious that there was something wrong. If the company disputed your claim in any way I doubt PP would’ve found in your favour. :(
The company didn’t respond and if you want to know the company, it was 2HOST.
Yeah, thought as much. I’ve won some disputes as well, but the ones that didn’t go well were with XVPS, the shits. They just lied to paypal, saying I’d had a month’s problem free service from them, which was about as far from the truth as is possible.
Because they bothered to dispute it (albeit with their standard copy and paste ripping-people-off replay as verified by others on WHT) PP ruled in their favour. Wasn’t much money, but they clearly were just in business to rip people off. The whole Yomura Holdings group is known for it.
This is exactly why people now scrutinize providers and check their background. Just because there are legit, honourable providers out there doesn’t mean there aren’t some whose whole business plan revolves around ripping people off and taking advantage of PP’s T&C that favour the seller in these situations. :(
Well.. I wish I could understand why people want to dig so much about me and KazeTech. 1000 VPS is just a tag line, it doesn’t refer to how many our client is on KazeTech right now. So let it be right there.
We don’t use nulled but you can host nulled script it doesn’t matter as long as we don’t get any report. I personally fine with this. FAQ or TOS or what ever is just a business requirement where you could see it and use it as your guidelines. I don’t force you to post you true details online. It doesn’t matter if your name are Matt in real but Super Kewl Matt online. But at least use a proper name if you want to register with us unless you want me to call you the name you want me to call you
@Vipies – About server provisioning, I hope that you do understand that this matter need to be well planned. Even if I own several rack on CoreSite doesn’t mean I just can plug as many server I want. It just doesn’t cost effective. How am I going to provide you with a low cost VPS if I have to pay more than what I use? Perhaps you have your own perfect planning running a public hosted service, so do we. Yet we don’t oversell.
The OpenVZ node we have all use 8 core server with 24GB RAM and we can push up to 32GB RAM if we see it need it. Having hw raid as our disk raid controller on each server to ensure that you’ll get the best ioping and gbit network connected to 7 tier 1 show that we are not someone who take hosting business like a child play.
I can’t deny there is a lots of haters out there trying to set you back but in this case I don’t see it fits to post it here at LowEndBox. If you have some issue with us we have facebook account, we have twitter account and we even have WHT account (tho we know WHT attract the haters) so post it there.
Its not haters. When you get posted on LowEndBox you pretty much open yourself to a full scale investigation because the community here tries to protect themselves and others from scammers.
So expect people to dig further until we are satisfied that you aren’t a scammer :)
Yes thank you for your advise. I will make sure everything is perfect from now on.
Can you stop using that tag line. That was a deal breaker to me.
If it’s not BuyVM, QuickWeb or Ramhost – they will rip you to shreds because of being blind fanboys. See also VM Port’s offer.
Don’t start that shit Joseph. Or is it Michael?
Every provider gets investigated. The providers you’ve mentioned are respected here, but they’re not above criticism. There’s been enough of it, the paranoid assholes who cry fanboy every time we spot something wrong with a provider are just blind to it.
For every decent provider there are ten crappy ones like Hostrail, XPVS or availableVPS. It’s something we have to live with, being at the lower end of the VPS chain, price-wise. It doesn’t always mean the service has to suck, just mostly.
When we point things out that are wrong with providers, it’s to make them fix it, and warn others who might not be quite as knowledgeable.
Is commenting on a provider having whois protection really fanboyism?
What about pointing out they’re using pirate/nulled software?
You really think Quickweb would get away with that?
I *HATE* fanboyism. Most people do, but I hate inverse fanboyism even more. Plenty of providers get praise.
Look at QualityVPS. They’re new here and there have been quite a few positive comments about them. Securedragon as well. So anyone who actually frequents this site regularly knows it’s not just “the big 3” who are respected, and every other provider gets a bum rap.
Quit spreading the myth that nobody but BuyVM, QuickWeb or Ramhost get a raw deal here. If that were the case, would providers keep submitting their offers? Don’t be stupid.
Providers submit, LEB makes a claim the owner is 16 years old and all you WHT rejects rip providers to shreds.
Also, tl;dr on your blog posting. You mad, bro?
Then piss off and stop reading LEB, you’re clearly just here to whine, not to participate.
LEB makes a claim? The guy does research to help the users of the site make informed decisions. If he’s not sure about something he mentions that.
You are Michael and I claim my five pounds.
Whine or claim people are others? It wasn’t very informed to accuse the owner of being 16 when he ended up being an intern.
What? whois protection and no clear contact is lame for any providers, that’s all.
Why doesn’t t fit to post it at LEB? Offers are posted, discussions are then open to all. Doesn’t it make sense to critique it in public, in a place where there’s already discussion about it?
You don’t use nulled scripts you say, but according to Vlad C, you were until earlier today. I have no inclination either way, but you haven’t technically denied that he’s telling the truth, you just say that you don’t, which is true currently. Am I reading too much into it, or is he correct?
Your network does seem pretty decent, and it’s good to see that you currently max out at 24GB/node. Some providers will just shove as much ram in as the board can handle, since ram’s the easiest/cheapest thing to upgrade, and while they can fit hundreds of VMs on a box, performance goes to hell.
Don’t take it as pointless criticism. Plenty of providers have really screwed over hundreds of customers previously. We know that when operating at these kind of margins you need to know what you’re doing or you end up getting booted by the datacentre because you can’t pay your bills. People who have proper business plans don’t tend/need to use nulled scripts, whois protection etc, so if people point these things out and you fix them, that’ll give people more confidence in you.
Anyone else bothered by that statement?
I’ll let someone else say the four letter word that I’m thinking of.
is it “liar”? :P
What a beautiful liar…
Not the first time around here a provider’s marketing copy has been called into question.
At least website has physical address.. :) I give that a plus….
Bandwidth the reliable but the CPU is 600Mhz
Worst Byte benchmark ever.
I got something around 100 or so on UnixBench. My IBM Thinkpad x41 Pentium-M laptop got something in the mid 200s.
I got 90 — I run the Byte benchmark excluding the disk I/O tests.

Certainly haven’t seen a unix bench result that low for a while. For some applications it’s also probably better to have 1x 600MHz core, than 8x 74.2MHz core.
/proc/cpuinfo displayed a 600 Mhz single core and hours later, it changed to 8 47 Mhz cores
Exactly. I did the tests with 1 core @ 600MHz.
91,4 is almost 1/20 of the 1646.5 Unixbench index I got with the VMstorm’s $6 VMware VPS
the reason for this is because of amd’s powernow technology not because of anything
if the server is not busy, it will lower the power consumption and it will “step” the speed of the CPU down to a lower level.
i am so happy with my account i wish i had signed up earlier, i hear they are increasing disk space now?
Nah, I don’t think so, changing cores on the fly just because the cpu is throttling? false
And 90 points in unixbench is a crap! :S
I ll do some tests in a while. As a first impression I can say network kicks ass big time ( both in latency to where I need it and speed).
Installing applications make the VM get kind of stalled sometimes though.
I like the CP they use :)
74Mhz per core? thats ridiculous.
I received an email about they increased the CPU core

For your post looks like you still have 8 cores. I just received the e-mail and the adjust doesn’t to be the same than yours:
After looking on some client benchmark test we realize that the setting for CPU % “The CPU time in percent the corresponding VPS is not allowed to exceed. Recommended Value : 10” is wrong. At first we plan to limit the number of cpu per vps but at a second thought we switch everybody to use 8 core without realizing that the cpu time setting is low. Manual edit has been made and the result should look like this if you run command:
What is your unixbench test result now after the correction made?
Well since they griped about 3 benchmarks at the same time, I’m going to wait about 4 hours and rerun it.
Update: cat /proc/cpuinfo now lists 8 cores @ 1GHz
I will rerun the Byte benchmark tomorrow morning to not impact the node during the US prime time.
New results (index doesn’t includes file copy tests)

HostRail were all about promises while KazeTech is fixing everything people here is pointing as wrong/not that good. :-)
I would give them the benefit of the doubt because they fixed it very quickly. Maybe a misconfiguration?
How about someone running the following performance test and posting results?
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
http://vpsbenchmarks.net/benchmarks/2011/09/kazetech-florida-openvz-sept-2011-benchmarks/
I saw somebody posted this but it seems like before they changed the CPU configuration due to the low benchmark
So, Kazetech: Was Vlad correct in saying that (at the time of him checking, at least) you were using a nulled WHMCS?
I’ve asked but didn’t get a reply. I appreciate you’ve changed a lot of mistakes you’ve made, and if this was just a mistake them fair enough I guess. You just seem to have sidestepped the question, which doesn’t look good…
Please refer to the reply that I’ve made before. It’s a mistake on checking it cp.kazetech.com. The license was for billing.kazetech.com and this has been corrected.
Gotcha, it wasn’t nulled, just on the wrong domain.
So I was too tempted by this offer to let it go. My vps was setup instantly and has been up for a few days and have noticed nothing but good performance out of it so far.
Our promotion coupon code “LOWENDBOX” has finally max out. Look forward for our next promo!!
Thank you for your support (^v^)v
A XEN and/or KVM VPS promo would be welcome I think :-)
:(….just read all the comments and kinda leaning of getting couple vpses.. hopefully the promotion will be here soon..:) for openvps..lol..
I hope that this 3rd try with vpses will be final..:)..
got burned with hostrail…. now hosting on volt-vps.. .. my servers still up but the main page is suspended… probably they will pull the plug soon..
Maybe I should make a promotion for Hostrail refugee or maybe volt-vps if they run out of business.
Leasing from dedicated server provider = high cost less freedom
This is what most VPS provider do. Ending up they can’t keep up with the cost.
Collocate your own hardware (get your own rack)= more freedom low cost
We do it like that :) so at least for about 10 years we don’t have a plan to close down.
*freedom referring to type of hardware
On the other note we have 14U at Terremark DC for collocation. You guys know hard it is to get a space in there (but we did). Collocation price starting from $75.95 USD (I know this is not the right place to advertise this but let just say I’m offering LEB user with 50% discount for 1st month).
Collocation come with 10TB/mo on GigE uplink. /29 IP address allocation (subject to change). APC remote reboot port and if you have ipmi-kvm with your hardware then it would be easier.
Contact us via our toll free number or local number if you interested in collocating your hardware with us. We will discuss more in details about this.

latency kick s butts ( to where I am).
service is great so far!
Any ways of getting reoccurring discount on couple of KZT[05]-OVZ ?
I am not planing anything huge so using max or overloading server won’t be an issue. Apache.. mysql tomcat and couple WP…Joomla and some java websites.. :)
thanks.. :)
or even two KZT[04]-OVZ and one KZT[03]-OVZ :)
Contact me via support ticket. You can shoot an email to info [at] our domain [dot] com.
KazeTech talking about Instant Delivery but after 48hrs. any contact.
Just a issue on stock with billing system, support talk with me after this. Ill get access data and i must say the performance is very good.
vps out of stock ….
hey when are you guys going to offer some KVM systems? i am still really happy with my VPS with you as I have never seen such good latency, but want to try out KVM and dont wanna get a new provider. :(
looks like they posted on their twitter that kvm coming….
would be nice to know when the site is comming back up….. No issues with vpses just main site is down…
Thank you for your concern,
I’ll update about this via email when I finish updating everything. If you have pending invoice, don’t worry about it. We wont terminate any account and of course I’ll mail out all client before we start the cron again to remove inactive account.
Network problem at this time? I cannot access to my VPS and their vitualizer control panel.
same thing here..:(….
working now/….
Looks to be quite the fustercluck about these guys on WHT.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1100206
It looks like the owner ditched and is actually fully affiliated with breathost, which was deadpooled in June. Kazetech looks to be dead now and breathost has returned on WHT posting new offers with the same site.
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE THE LEB MARKET?
Francisco
I did get an email from “Daniel Serjey” of the “new Breathost” a few days ago explaining their resuscitation. Anyway, the blame goes to their previous owner Sebastian, and they like to offer LowEndBox community some discount code…
Haven’t bothered to post that yet :P
We (KazeTech) are not affiliated with breathost as we don’t really try to push away any our service reseller. Our client have the right to resell our service under their label and we are not dead as you think we are.
We experience some issue with the control panel that we use cause a random downtime and freeze and after the upgrade everything seem to be working fine again although there is a chance things like this happen again.
———-
I could see more client reselling our service so there is a chance that anybody could use our service as their product. Roughly about 50% of our client is a reseller eg a client who order multiple VPS in large amount. 10% goes to sponsorship and only 40% is our direct client.
If there is a different label that I will use (in fact there is a few name we already registered but not yet released to public) it will have this on every single site, (A sister company of KazeTech) or anything similar to that. So if you don’t see anything similar like that on those site or (if there is any but I don’t know about it) thats mean they are our reseller.
@Francisco Dias: Thank you for using our service. I do regret that you are not satisfied with our service but thats is good. That means we have a lot more to improved but that doesn’t mean that we are going to give up.
Do you care to explain why is my server down? I have raised a support ticket (#567810) on 22/Nov/2011.
On 23/Nov/2011 your support team replied that-
I replied on the same day-
On 25/Nov/2011, your system closed that ticket. So I reopened on the same day.
On 27/Nov/2011, your system has again closed that ticket. I have reopened ticket again.
Since 23/Nov/2011 reply, I didn’t receive any update from your side. Only my ticket was closed.
Contrary to your following claim-
Your Control Panel is still down. This is what Firefox returns.
This is not the first time your server is down. Your server went down during 1st-2nd week of November. My server was also affected by that downtime. My ticket (#130380) was raised on 09/Nov/2011 and subsequently the issue was resolved on 12/Nov/2011.
Hardly your client, I don’t buy from other LEB’s, I simply don’t have a need :) I’m much more of a colocation kinda person.
What I will spend my time doing is pointing out when hosts are being less than truthful of their things.
If they’re reselling you, then you’re affiliated.
Francisco
As you can see we don’t offer any reseller account or anything similar to that. Does anything beyond your control also call affiliated? If that how it work, then we are affiliated.
FYI – We are actually trying to get into Terremark and we might offer a limited number collocation at low price (at least lower than other would offer for colo in such datacenter) either with Global Crossing or MojoHost as upstream.
Is this what you was on about on my offer? fustercluck
control panel down again?.. with some vpses:(.. cmon guys….
