You must of been hungry!!
All out of stock but just 2 comments asking for comments :P funny
Hi Asim,
The £10 a year specials went out of stock pretty quickly, hopefully everyone is enjoying them :)
We do at random times release more (normally when existing £10 a year specials expire and are not renewed) best place to keep upto date on that is either on our web site or on http://www.facebook.com/minivps
There are only 10 UK specials left as well at the time of this post.
Kind regards
Simon, I would like to discuss a custom package … how do I get in touch with you?
When I try to use the contact form on your site, it is requesting that I login; I don’t have a login as I am not yet a customer. There doesn’t appear to be a pre-sales contact form.
Thanks
Hi – if you drop an email to hello@minivps.co.uk we’ll pick it up!
I already have a VPS with miniVPS and pretty pleased. Just one question, with the 1GB RAM offer, would you be able to provide some more HDD space?
Hi Stephen,
It’s something we could look in to for you – just drop in a ticket.
Was mistaken order £10 plan. Thought the VPS is located in UK. My cancellation ticket was responded in minutes and refunded right away. Kudos to Simon.
He comprado el paquete de 1Gb y hasta el momento todo va perfectamente
Un notable alto.
Si dentro de un mes todo funciona igual de rápido y fiable, se merecerán el sobresaliente

(by google) :)
I bought the 1Gb package and so far everything is going well
A remarkably high.
If within one month everything is working as fast and reliably, the outstanding merit
i need windows vps to run MT4 platform . i live in UK but don’t have a credit card any other form of payment are available ,cash in a bank for example or Ukash ??
Hi Roman. You can’t run Windows an on OpenVZ VPS.
Why not also offer a 512MB VPS for half the price of the 1GB VPS? I would get it right away…
We took your suggestion on board and launched a 512MB special :)
Price is great, I’m wondering about buying
does this offer include cPanel?
Hi Charlie,
I’m afraid not – not at these prices! :)
2 days ago, we brought up a new node to replace an existing node, we are now able to offer more of the UK Specials and they have been added to stock, but they are bound to go fast if the last week is anything to go by.
take out 2GB offer greetings
Had one of the special plans for a while and it ran mostly without issues. But make sure not to use any CPU at all or you get hit with a suspension without warning. They just shut it off and then make you wait a few hours between ticket responses.
This is enough to get you suspended. Ridiculous.

Hello George. Perhaps a little context would help.
We suspended your VPS because of CPU usage spikes. I personally informed you of this after you submitted a ticket. We informed you it was because of a single process. You were told this particular process has spiked on more than one occasion for and excessive period of time. Your original ticket was replied to within 2 minutes, after your reply to this, we replied in 13 minutes.
By your own admission, you stated the CPU spikes could have happened just before the VPS was suspended – “It may have been at the time of suspension, but it doesn’t seem like the norm.”
Our last reply was a little ‘late’, 7 hours to be precise, however you seemed to have resigned yourself to the fact the VPS was suspended because of late payment which again, as notified to you, wasn’t the case. We’ve had no further reply from you since our last reply (07/08/2012 07:28 ) so I’m not entirely sure why you’re here complaining? You haven’t indicated you want to resolve the problem or would like help in resolving the issue so your VPS has remained suspended. Feel free to get in touch and we’ll get it sorted.. but in the meantime, we’re not mind readers.
Thanks.
Should also point out you’re referring to the VPS1 special and not the 1GB UK Special.
Down to 2 remaining stock on the UK 1GB specials, and the £10.00 a year deal is sold out as well.
Dam your yearly ones are sold out !
openvpn hosting allowed?
how much charges for extra bandwidth?
5 more UK specials have been added to stock.
… and its out of stock already
Nope – there are still some remaining!
they are hosting from
46.20.235.14 (46-20-235-14.rdns.melbourne.co.uk)
Announced By
Origin AS Announcement Description
AS39451 46.20.224.0/20 Melbourne Server Hosting Ltd
That’s correct :)
We’ve just added new stock, too!
Just wanted to order and again out of stock, aaaargh. Second time :(
Try again – there was a little glitch! :)
I already ordered, but didnt get any server information after payment :(
Hello
Did the server info reach you ? If not, open up a ticket and I’ll look into it for you.
Everything is fine now :)
We are down to the last stock of the 1GB UK Specials, 5 are left, once they are gone, they are gone!! we can’t guarantee if / when they will be back.
So if you have been thinking about it for the last few days, an entire new node stock value has almost gone in under 48 hours, time is running out for this offer, so act now and find out why miniVPS is so popular ;)
Hi guys, not related to this offer specifically, but do you allow more than one website to be hosted on your VPS plans?
@Dean there is no limit to how many static, dynamic, parked website or no-websites-at-all you host on any VPS. The only real limit are the resources (disk, bandwidth, memory aka RAM)
As Asim has mentioned above, there are no limits to the sites you can host on the VPS. The only limitations are the resources you have ordered – that will govern how many (and of what type) of websites you can host :)
Just a quick note – we’ve added another small batch of these to stock this morning!
That’s another few added to stock. We’ll be releasing a larger block towards the end of the week along with another UK special plan. Keep your eyes peeled :)
This doesn’t bode well :-\ I just signed up, all went swimmingly. But now, everything has just ground to a halt, the web-based control panel is painfully slow, and I have no chance of using ssh – it just doesn’t connect at all.
I can ping my IP, but not a lot more. I have high hopes for this service and the customer service rep i spoke to was really helpful, so I hope this is just bad luck?
Update: I think it must’ve just been a funny 30 minutes – everything is good now. Seems fast and responsive. Still one of the cheapest configurations I can find and I’m glad I’ve signed up.
Hi Laurie. Did you submit a ticket about this?
It doesn’t sound at all normal. If you were on uko2 that might explain it as we had an issue with this node on Saturday.
Hi Martin,
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, I didn’t get notification of your reply.
no, sorry I didn’t submit a ticket, purely because I couldn’t access any of the logged in features. I did use the contact form, but I’m not sure whether it reached you or not?
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure whether I am on uko2 or not – i will check when I get home from work if it helps?
Thanks
Laurie
Hi Laurie,
yeah, if you wouldn’t mind. I’d like to know what’s happened so we can either sort it out or explain correctly! :)
If you could just drop a ticket in we’ll be able to identify your node straight away.
