Mad Genius has been developing some new offers in the lab and now they’re ready to share them with our readers!

We saw Mad Genius most recently back on November 17, 2020.  They’ve returned with some new nodes, new SSDs, and new offers for you.  These are high-bandwidth offers, with 3TB of transfer per VPS.

They’ve been around since 1998 – that’s longer than some of our readers! – and have a wide range of services.  I love their web site because it’s fun and really emphasizes their branding.

Their WHOIS is public. They are registered in Minnesota, USA (3645726-2). Their Terms of Service is available on their web site (AUP, Privacy Policy). They accept Credit Card, paypal, Cryptocurrency, and ACH..

Here’s a little about Mad Genius in their own words:
