Alexander, from LiquidHost, is celebrating an overall successful first year in business after launching LiquidHost in August 2011. To celebrate this occasion, LiquidHost has sent not one or two specials, but 7!
Level 0 Anniversary VPS KVM
- 192MB
- 10 GB Disk Space
- 200 GB Bandwidth
- 1 Core
- KVM / SolusVM
- 1 x IPv4
- Dallas, Texas
- $20/Year, Direct signup link
Liquid Host’s only previous post was in December 2011 when they received quite a hostile reception criticising them for a variety of reason but most notably for advertising on HackForums. Alex, who is now a regular contributor to LowEndTalk, admits mistakes were made but assures us he has learnt a lot since the last listing: “I have listened to all the criticism I received and I tried to change it. No one actually expected us to last this long, which was an extra motivation for me. During the past year, we have learned from our mistakes and improved the quality of the services with the help of this community. Also, we have moved far away from hackforums and I do not want to be related in any way with them anymore, it was one of the biggest mistakes I made.”

Just a little correction – the DNS services are not out yet, I am looking in to getting them finished the following week.
Fixed ;-)
Thanks! :)
It could be good to get some HTTPS on the management panel :-)
How long does it take between the VPS information is sent and I’m able to login to the panel?
Hello Martin,
I will indeed install SSL cert on the management page. Will get it done today.
About the other thing – once you receive the information, you should be able to log into the solusVM panel.
can you somehow post a ping speed to Japan and Korea?
According to just-ping:
http://i.imgur.com/31xeS.png
The average ping to Japan is 131.6 from our Seattle nodes, which are more suitable for Asia.
They do not have Korea location, so I can not provide ping test from / to there.
Will all management panels get HTTPS? Client area as well as the VPS control panels?
The client area is already under HTTPS.
I understand the client area is already under HTTPS, sorry for the confusion on the sentence. I’m more referring to the SolusVM Control Panel to be under HTTPS as well. Thanks.
I see. Yes, all the solusvm panels will be with SSL/HTTPS. I just got to get to it, been extremely busy with the huge flaw of orders the past 30 hours. I will try to do it later today and udpate this once done.
Can only speak well of Alex/LiquidHost – I work with him closely and it is great to see him reach the 1 year mark.
Grab these while you can! I know the nodes are of top quality.
Thank you :P
Are the nodes in TX native IPv6?
No, they are not at this point, ipv6 is not enabled at Texas. We will be rolling ipv6 on the KVM’s in a week. I can notify you once it is done if you wish? HE tunnel can be used at this point though.
I was told by LSN you get a /18 for $25/month?
Did you ask about it?
I would love order one of these, but somehow I got a 180 ping, where as pings to other IPs in Washington give me a 112 Ping ;(
tinet.net seems to be my problem. Is there anyway to change the routing?
Is Windows supported? If yes, which Windows?
As long as you have windows license you can get any version you’d like on our KVM VPS. Currently the only ISO added is Windows 2k8 server R2, however we can add other versions as well on request.
Windows 2003 Enterprise is the one I would like to add.
It can be uploaded. A ticket would need to be opened for it though. It would be the best if you could provide us with a link to the ISO itself, so we can upload it for you.
“the only ISO added is Windows 2k8 server R2” What version is it? Standard or ?
DC edition, as it was requested by other user.
Is DC license included?
“As long as you have windows license you can get any version you’d like on our KVM VPS.”
…. just a few lines up there.
As mentioned – the license is not included. Non windows licenses are included on our VMs.
I got a bad routing from Germany, Tinet seems to be a problem for me. Even my servers in germany have a really high ping due to this route.
I’d really love to own a KVM box, but i guess it is not possible to change the routing?
Unfortunetely not, we can not change the route.
Sure, thought about that. Any chance it will change in future? Or is there anything like a weathermap to see if their routers are currently overloaded?
I am not absolutely sure what exactly do you mean. However as you meantioned that even connection to german servers is not great, there is simply no way to get a better connection to a central-based US node. We plan in rolling out some EU nodes by the end of the year, but not in Germany.
I wonder you have enough Level 1 Anniversary OpenVZ, I am waiting for Refund from other provider, and want to get one of these, but don’t know when…
If the selling rate keeps at thsi point, I will most likely deploy another node especially for those specials.
thanks.
I am loving the service! Everything is going very well. Except for not having HTTPS on the SolusVM Management Console in Texas, it’s probably the best VPS i’ve ever used. :)
Is payment with visa credit card from Poland possible?
Yes it is possible, via 2checkout. Let me know if you have any problems purchasing.
OpenVZ nodes are located in Seattle, Washington with Sentris, test IP : 76.191.96.101 very good ping result from Johor, Malaysia. Stated in your Homepage port speed 100Mbps, is this sharing speed or dedicated speed per VPS unit?
This is shared speed per a VPS. However all our nodes are connected to 1gbps or 2x1gbps and can port speed can be upgraded for additional tax.
Fellow Johorean here, which ISP you use?
@budingyun, P1 WiMax.
First time trying out a VPS – already impressed with how fast it was setup! =)
CentOS by default but easily switched to Debian, already has Apache running on it also =)
Great to hear that you like the VPS Andrew!
So far so good =) Got my security changes and lighthttpd up and running with php/mysql pretty fast =)
Anyone using their KVM512 plan can please post a test using this command:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 | md5sum
Hello, I personally can not provide the requested test, as I did not save a result from it. However if someone has the time, it would be good to get it posted.
The most recent dd test I have is:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=testfilex bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 6.88506 s, 156 MB/s
i got one of them did checkout, will you send an email for details or i should use the info located in control panel and one more thing
How Will i Install System On KVM :s is there any tutorial for guest systems?…
not control panel, clintarea..
I could not understand your question, please open a ticket with details on what you need to be done and I will point you out in the correct direction :)
i think he cant locate how to go to control panel
thanks for the help :)
how much extra bandwidth?
Depends on which location.
for texas how much extra bw?
btw, until when is the offer?
At the moment I am not going to sell additional BW at Texas, as simply the price would be too high for LEB users, however if it is necesary, I can get 1TB for 15$.
Forgot to answer the second question – The promotion will be up untill we run out of stock. There is a big chance to order new nodes for this promotion, as I am seeing a huge amount of orders the past 24 hours, both on yearly and monthly purchases. I asume I will run out of stock for KVM in around 24-48 hours.
are you in Bulgaria?
Yes, I am, why?
one of my exchange students are from there.
That’s cool :)
finally got refund. will order now.
Order Number: 9627968961
Paid but site says unpaid,..
John, as it is stated in the invoice itself right after payment, you need to pass teh fraud check and it will be automatically marked as paid.
got the setup info now.
thanks.
Is FreeBSD supported?
Very good offer, and my vps has been great so far.
Thank you for the positive feedback!
We are rebooting all our Seattle nodes to apply some updates. Everything should be back up and running in 5 minutes.
Reboot completed in 3 minutes.
We have just sold out all KVM 1, KVM2 and KVM3 packages. We have a couple of KVM level 0 left. We will stock up around monday more of the KVM packages.
We still have some stock left on the openVZ node and we are deploying a new seattle node at the begining of next week.
Cool, let me know when you restock. I would like to get one KVM1 and one KVM3
We will have stock Monday for KVM’s. You can email me at sales@liquid-solutions.biz and I will notify you as soon as possible when we have stock, we migth even have enough to place you on even now
Do you support KVM Templates?
We will support them the following week, once solusVM releases the official version out.
Are the Cpu cores mentioned in KVM dedicated per VM or just virtual cores?
So bad it’s out of stock now
Same – Wonder when they will get more stock
Sometime in next few days I would assume.
restock please. happy anniv
We should have KVM stock in less than 24 hours. Plenty of openvz stock is available.
happy anniv
Will this still be restocked?
please restock… good luck!
Hi…. just order and still confuse which OS and web server should I install and use.
which os and webserver do you use for your KVM vps
thank you.
Please reply Ticket #114627 .
So far so good. My VPS with Liquid Host is fast. Good CPU, Disk IO, and Network! Keep it up Alex!
seems all out of stock ,how can you got one?
not always out of stock…
We’ve restocked the OVZ packages. Waiting on a enw subnet delivery for KVM and willr estock them as well.
Great. Waiting to purchase KVM.
Hi,
Just booked anniversary plan level 3, and looking forward for my account setup. Compared a whole bunch of VPS solutions and what made me go for it was positive reviews on this site. Thanks for the wealth of user reviews here.
Was wondering if anyone can suggest the best way to do a complete VPS backup so I don’t need to reconfigure everything if something like that RAID failure happens again.
Has your service on Sentris2 been restored after the RAID 10 array failure then? I received my payment confirmed email at Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 2:52 AM MST and got response to my ticket “In less than 24 hours you will receive your VPS and your billing will be ajusted to the time you’ve received your server.” at Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 9:18 AM MST. However, my server still has not been created. It is now Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 9:37 AM.
Gavin, there must have been some missunderstanding. We restored all the clients days ago. Can you please open a ticket ASAP. I will try and locate your ticket now, however if I am not able to, it would be the bst and fastest to open a ticket.
Yep was restored the day after the notification was sent out. Not a huge deal for me, didn’t have too much setup on it and I realize these things happen. The vps is fast though:). Alex, any chance solusvm will have a way to make a backup image of the vm? Or should I just make a tar of the entire directory structure?
Hello,
What operating systems do you provide on the unmanaged OpenVZ plans?
Thank you.
You can use any openvz compatible OS. Generally all the Linux OS.
Kind of amused that it’s saying “-1 Available” for the Level 0 and 3 KVM right now.
Any ETA on when it’ll be restocked?
Kind of amused that both the Level 0 and Level 3 KVM plans are saying “-1 Available” right now.
Any ETA on restocking?
Well, we had a little bit of space and I squeezed in there a couple of LET users. The ETA for the KVMs has passed nearly 1 week ago. Unfortunetely, my DC has screwed up in delivering hardware and I actually have no idea on when they will deliver the promised things, so I can restock another pile of 30-35 KVM’s. The previous 35 have sold out in under 24 hours.
I see. Is there any way to be notified by email when you do get new stock? Or is sending a message to the sales team with the form on your site sufficient?
why 2co payment process taking pretty long time? It’s been 12hours from i am paying to 2co..
Do you have a test file for seatle? Would like to confirm the speed from home to vps before purchasing a year.
I just wanted to say “good job” to Alexander. He’s done a good job hitting a level of success that should keep LiquidHost’s name around a bit, and he’s managed to smooth over his early bumpy start well enough that the comments on this anniversary special have nothing negative to say. (Routing issues are a sad fact of life; you can’t ever get good routing to everywhere. So I can’t count those. :) )
I almost ordered an Anniversary VPS just to show my support. However, they were all sold out! All seven of the offers! Way to go! :)
Here’s wishing you many more years of prosperity!
Thanks Matt!
We’ve ran out of stocka couple of tiems during this sale, I’ve restocked a couple of OVZ deals now and I can probably sell 2-3 of the KVM deals via tickets or LET PM.
Stay tuned, a huge load of updates are prepared for the next month’s promotion :)
Hi,
I have a question about Level 3 plan. If I customized it to this how much will you charge me yearly?
2048MB Ram
3072MB Burstable RAM
40 GB Disk Space
600 GB Bandwidth
OpenVZ / SolusVM
1 x IPv4
Seattle, Washington
Everything is the same except the dedicated and burstable ram. Waiting for your response.
Hello, you can order that pakcage for 75$ yearly.
I appreciate your reply :)
Hi,
I have a question. What happen if your client website is under DDOS attack? Would you suspend his/her account and null route to non exist IP and allowed his/her account to back online after the attack?
or would you suspend his/her account and provide him/her with backup and tell him/her to find other host?
Thank you
Depends which location.
The KVM Location in Dallas is with Limestonenetworks which have a flood detection in there control panel which automatically nullroutes / filters floods.
Seattle VPS get automatically nullrouted over 1gbps. We would not terminate on a single flood in any case, however if it is something that happens often, we will be forced to ask you to change hosts. Texas is generally the same, however LSN do have some filtering infornt of their servers, which does manage to clean up a good amount of the attacks in my experience, however it should in no way be taken as DDoS protected location.
It has been 12 days with no setup instructions and they have not returned emails. I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Hey Justin, the setup instructions would have been sent by e-mail assuming you paid for the service and it was activated properly. As for returning e-mails, support tickets are our preferred method of communication however we do have piping on our e-mail’s which should’ve generated a ticket and given you a ticket ID, can you provide your ticket ID? If not then you can submit a ticket from our clients area and we will take a look.
who are you?
Hello,
I hope this has been resolved for you. If not, please open a ticket. Also make sure you check the SPAM folder in case the emails ended in there. However, if the service indeed did not get setup on time for some reason, I will make sure you get a proper compensation!
Best
invoice paid , after 18 hours stil not get VPS info , contacted support ,ticket opened but no one answer.any body here have same problem with liquidhost ?
Hey Chiao,
I do apologise for the delay in getting to your ticket, it was initially missed by me. Alex has also been ill lately, so it’s just a bit of a co-incidence. Usually we do have instant setup once the payment has gone through. We had run out of IP’s in our Lenoir location.
Either way, your ticket has now been dealt with; we have added 5 days free to your billing term as compensation and setup your VPS.
Once again I do apologise for the delay, have a great day. :-)
Regards,
– Humza
Couple questions for Alexander or Humza:
What does additional bandwidth or throughput cost? If the site was to expand and I found myself needing 1000mbits at 2TB/month would that be something you could accomodate?
I didn’t see any detailed specs on emails, would there be any problem in I sent say 40k emails a day out (to people who specifically registered with an easy way to unregister) would that be something you could handle yourself or would I need to use a specific email provider.
There are both for two different ideas, I’d have no problem running servers for each.
Hi Phillip,
2TB at 1Gbit isn’t an issue, If you are looking at Seattle you would be probably be looking at $5/TB per month don’t quote me on this!
As for the 40k emails as long as you are CAN SPAM compliance, I don’t think there would be an issue.
I’m sure Alex/Humza will here within the next 12 hours to update you if I am correct or not :).
Forgot to mention location but yes, I would be looking at purchasing one in Seattle.
