Hey All,
We’re so pleased to be featured here again! For those who don’t already know me, my name is Nathan, I’m here to answer any questions, so if you have any, shoot away!
Thanks for looking,
-nathan
Congratulations!
Ordered a 1GB VPS in good old New York.
Thank you Samuel, and welcome!
-nathan.
NFP is a good company. I ordered a 1gig VPS with them on their Black Friday deal from LEB before :) It gets better performance than my linode and Krypt Cloud :)
Fantastic to hear that :)
You’re awesome!
-nathan.
hi, thanks for the offer i have some questions:
– are those prices recurring?
– what data center is for the shared hosting plans?
– do you provide jail shell on Shared Hosting Special ?
– why not feature on lowendtalk?
thanks and regards
Hey Ehab,
Thanks for your interest with NFP Hosting. You’re more than welcome to cross-post to this post or share the word about these offers on other websites/communities, I do not mind and would certainly appreciate the gesture. The prices are on a recurring basis (we do not increase prices here) :) Yes, jailed shell access is available for $1.50 and can be added on your order during the checkout process, or by opening a sales ticket if you wish to add it later on. Thanks again for taking a look at our offers and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know. Have a great weekend.
-nathan.
Hello,
I am considering a reseller hosting account with you, this is quite a captivating offer! I am currently hosting my reseller with HG, I’ve been with them since 2011 and can’t seem to go more than three months on their servers without some issue. Been wanting to move but admittedly have been putting it off, figure I may as well get it done and over with.
Question about the free migration, my HG reseller has 9 “subaccounts” underneath it, would the migration cover all the accounts for my clients too?
Thank you,
Travis Prichard
Hey Travis,
Thank you for considering NFP Hosting. We would be happy to assist with performing the migration for you, including your sub-accounts.
-nathan.
Hello Nathan,
Thank you for your reply and I have gone ahead and ordered my account. I look forward to working with you!
Travis
I’m assuming these all use SSDs?
Hey Adam,
As we noticed a lot of people are happy with the performance that a RAID10 with enterprise drives setup provides these particular offers are not as I’m sure a lot of you would enjoy a larger disk storage allocation thus providing more value and usability for the VPS. If you’re looking for otherwise you can always ticket in at https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1 and we would be happy to put something together for ya!
-nathan.
Nfp gives good vps service, and for the three times when I had some question about my server, support staff have answer quickly. (i’am customer since november)
Thank you Aiguo, it means a lot to us!
-nathan.
NFPHosting is one of those providers where you get everything setup the way you want, and 6 months later you totally forget about it. What I mean is that their server has worked so well for me, and since I already paid up for the year, I totally forget to praise them or stay in touch with them. So this post served as a reminder today and I’d like to take this time to show some appreciation which is often oversought in today’s society. Thank you Nathan and your guys for your service. It’s a good thing when I’m not thinking about my hosting company everyday, that means I do not have to contact support and things are going flawless.
Hey Joseph,
Really awesome to hear this :) I am grateful that you took the time to write this about us, I certainly feel the love brother and I’m pleased to see we are meeting your expectations. If you need ever any help, feel free to contact us. Have a great weekend.
Thanks,
-nathan.
I’m glad some of you are happy with NFPHosting, because I’ve never had worst provider.
Bought a simple vps last BlackFriday and never succeed to make it work more than a few days, each time I had to show a copy of their own invoice to get my vps in LA, with IPv6, and a double core. And every time 2/3 days later my vps was unreachable via ssh or via panel. And I am not going to talk about their support, I’d love to stay polite.
Please, run away or at least be aware!
Sorry to hear, sounds like a unique situation – every provider seems to have them. Likewise I got one of their black Friday specials and have had no problems with service or support. I’ve since added some additional servers under them and no issues as well. If you had an experience like this maybe Nathan can help you out but yeah, sounds unusual, maybe they were short staffed on Black Friday?
Hey Ben,
Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad you had the opportunity to take advantage of our Black Friday deal we ran last year. As you know we were featured on LowEndBox with our Black Friday special which was highly popular, so we experienced a lot of traffic, orders, and as a result of that – much higher than usual support ticket load. So thank you for bearing with us during that busy time and I apologize again for any delays during that season.
If you could please email me at nathan@nfphosting.com with your account details, I would be happy to review things and find a way to make it right.
-nathan.
In case anyone is following or looking for a “NFPHosting Review”, I am still “waiting” for any kind of answer, 9 days after the previous comment.
Be careful!!
Hey Ben,
I’m unaware of the details, and haven’t received an email from you. Did you email me? If so, can you re-send it or provide me with a way I can look up your account? I’d like to definitely get things done right by you :)
-nathan.
chill guys is owned by same shitty scammer that owns alpha racks and woot hosting too…
their stores are all hosted in liquid web… :
https://intodns.com/alpharacks.com
https://intodns.com/woothosting.com
https://intodns.com/nfphosting.com
*alpha racks and woothosting ip is same however they seem to have got dedicated ip for the npfhosting to hide the fact they own it too…
And all domain names are ordered from a person from CA :
https://who.is/whois/alpharacks.com
https://who.is/whois/woothosting.com
https://who.is/whois/nfphosting.com
*Same as with the server the alpha and woot domain are both owned from some chinese guy names and from CA while in npf they used a american name but again from CA…
And of course like every offer of woot,alpha they spam the thread with fake reviews so we can take a good eye on them while after max 2 days the real customers will comment here with their real reviews…
and also if you read their about us pages at bottom they are actually exactly the same with a part where says to contact them if there is any question or need custom requests…
Not sure about how any other organizations are affiliated, but seeing as how you grouped nfp with others, the criteria you’re using might be a little over-reaching (thus making conjectures and assumptions that are incorrect and perhaps damaging?). I took a look at the IP similarity you mentioned and it looks like you’re pointing out a LW nameserver which again, is using a broad generalization.
Add hiformance to that list..
Hey Kyle,
I can confirm that we have absolutely no affiliation with those companies. I have been a LiquidWeb customer since Matt Hill was in charge, and we in fact originally started our company on their network. We continue to host our internal infrastructure and WHMCS with them.
-nathan.
I was just about to ask that to Nathan here. Thanks for this post.
-A suffered customer at worst (Woot) add alpharackus (alpharackus)!
do they have any offshore account?
I never had any issues with WootHosting
Lmao, true enough, I am victim of alpharacks here, downtime is the worst, who gonna host with downtime everyday, lol…
Hey Hendry,
If you decide to give us a try, I’m sure you’ll be happy with our service and uptime here :)
We offer free migrations as well, if you need it!
-nathan.
Please post an offer again when shared hosting is available in New York.
Hey Dony,
Sure thing, we are also happy to migrate you once available if you wish to order it in LA first.
-nathan.
NFPhosting has a serious problem, the people from support desk can not understand the customer write in the ticket, I have five vps and all of it it’s ip has been blocked by the GFW, so if I pay 15 dollars to five new ip is wasting money and they can’t make sure all the new ip is unblocked. So, I said I want to combine the five vps into one vps and I give up other four vps so I only need to switch one ip. Do you understand what I am saying? I said to combine 5 vps’s RAM and traffic into one vps and I pay for only one ip for 3 dollars , if you understand,open a 3 dollars invoice for account zhujq971210@gmail.com I will pay it and you combine the five vps
Hey Jason,
I am not seeing any open tickets on your account, so hopefully everything is sorted out. I do apologize in advance for any language barriers, at the moment we only provide support in English.
I’ll be reaching out to your email to ensure things are resolved.
-nathan.
Please answer my ticket as soon as possible, I appreciate that
Nice offers guys!
Thanks!
Give me something like this in EU, and I will take a few of them!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep this in mind for the future expansions.
-nathan.
Just ordered a server in LA.
Thank you for joining us, awesome to hear that!
-nathan.
Do you offer Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates?
Hey Edgar,
Yes, we offer free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with the reseller hosting offers.
-nathan.
Paid for a Master Reseller account, waiting for activation. Anyhow, i still have a reseller from woothosting.com, if the servers are loading so slow here also.. then.. 12 bucks lost nothing too much.. Hope the services will work good.
Hey Catalin,
I’m sure you will be pleased here :) Thanks for giving us a try, if you ever need any help, please feel free to let me know
-nathan.
+1 Jarry, expand to Europe! For now, I’m using NFP NY location. Very happy with the service.
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying our NY location, and thanks for your feedback!
Hi,
I am interested in ordering two VPS, one in each location – just want to know if VPN is allowed? Most providers I use don’t have an issue with it and I don’t generate any sort of abuse complaints, but I just wanted to run it by you before proceeding.
Thank you for your time!
Hey Christian,
VPN is allowed. Not a problem.
-nathan.
1 day in and I’m getting a connection timed out on reseller package :( will keep everyone posted.
Hey Zach,
I believe I have found your account and I have reached out to you directly to make sure everything is OK now. I look forward to hearing from you, and welcome to NFP Hosting!
-nathan.
To update my original post,
It seemed to be down for roughly 4 hours. Nathan responded to my ticket and apologized for the down time and even compensated me for the short down time.
Couldn’t resist at this price, ordered the 3GB server. I like over kill :P
Instant activation, and so far so good.
Hey Jeremy, awesome! Thanks for joining. Let us know if you need anything!
-nathan.
Great offers, I ordered a VPS yesterday and got everything set up the way I want. I’m loving your virtualizor panel, it’s a sigh of relief compared to solus I must say!
Hey Efim,
Awesome to hear that, thanks :)
Yes, we’re also pleased ourselves with our switch from SolusVM to Virtualizor last year!
-nathan.
Support for Streisand / OpenVPN server?
Yes, OpenVPN can be run.
-nathan.
Hey Nathan,
Glad be noted, that you have very interesting hosting offers. But I want to know would it possible to combine several “Reseller Hosting Special” (10 for example) in one with summed disk space, transfer and one dedicated ip address?
Hey Alexander,
Please shoot a message to our sales department at https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1 – we can figure something out :)
-nathan.
Guys great offers, I picked up your Los Angeles server. If I can make one suggestion please consider offering some VPS pools, I would def order something like that, and I know some friends that would too.
Hey Tim,
Thanks for joining, and I appreciate your feedback! I’ll possibly look into offering something like that in the near future.
-nathan.
I am trying the reseller shared hosting plan for a couple of days. So far I am seeing load times of between 2 to 15 seconds for a default WP site which is not that great. Nathan, is this the speed we can expect on the shared service? If so I think I will move on before the 3 day trial is up.
Hey Andy,
Please keep in mind that we run our shared/reseller hosting servers on Dual Xeon processors (and therefore there are two physical processors in each server) so there is at minimum 16 cores on all of our shared/reseller hosting servers.
I checked all of our shared/reseller hosting servers and did not notice any issues in performance. We also optimize them CloudLinux and LiteSpeed Web Server. Feel free to shoot over a ticket to our support department if you have any issues or if you need any help :)
-nathan.
How much will it cost for 1 year:
– 2x CPU Core
– 1.5GB RAM
– 10GB HDD Space
– 200gb Bandwidth
– 100Mbps Network Port
– 1x IPv4
– Virtualizor/OpenVZ
Hey Chuck,
Can definitely do something here — shoot me a message at https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1 :)
-nathan.
Thanks Nathan. Support have dropped me a reply. I am very cautious after a bad experience with a competitor who NFP have been compared to previously. Customer turn through high loading, poor uptime seems to be their business model.
Hey Andy,
No worries brother, I’m sure you’ll be pleased here! Let us know if you need anything else! :)
-nathan.
So I signed up on Sunday and I wanted to report back with my experience.
Activation: 10/10
I paid by Paypal, server was immediately activated after I ordered.
Support: 10/10 (though too soon to tell)
I interacted with support a few times and received responses within an hour to all of them. Not bad for an unmanaged provider. Take this for a grain of salt for now, as it’s too soon to tell.
Server performance is not bad, will update here with my experience as time passes.
Hey Eduardo,
Awesome, thank you for taking the time to write this about us, I’m sure that your positive experience will only continue :)
If you ever need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
-nathan.
Hello, Nathan. What kernel version are you running as host on your OpenVZ VPS offers? Also, what host OS (if it is not confidential)? Thank you.
Hey Matthew,
We are running the latest RHEL6 based OpenVZ kernels :)
-nathan.
So that’s a 2.6.32 kernel, with no likelihood of an upgrade to a newer kernel?
I ask because the GLibc used by Debian Buster (and Sid) needs a 3.2 (or newer) kernel. I expect Ubuntu 18.04’s GLibc will also need a 3.2 or newer kernel.
That’s the way OpenVZ functions. OpenVZ is containing and shares the kernel with the host, in order to minimize overhead.
I have checked with uname and can confirm Nathan’s statement, they are running latest vz kernels for RHEL6. You can compare it yourself at https://openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/Archives
I don’t know of any provider I use that runs vz on RHEL7, because of how unstable it is.
Ouch!
I have LA VPS (10/month – BLACK FRIDAY deal) with them since 4 March. Here is my VPS uptime monitored by uptimerobot https://postimg.org/image/na58f26y3/. I bought their VPS because I saw Nathan Ramirez always answer comments here so I was thinking my support ticket will be answered less than 12 hours. Sadly I never talked to him on their support desk and overall my support tickets got answered a day later (24 hours or more). I have nothing to complain about the VPS, the only thing that makes me not to use my VPS is their support. It’s not good to make your customer wait for 24 hours (sometimes more) to answer a single simple question.
Fyi, I started monitoring my VPS on 15 March.
Do you have a ticket number so I can review this? Our average response times to tickets is under an hour (unless it’s a sales or billing related question that can take a little longer), the only exception to this was during the Black Friday holiday when we were overwhelmed with orders and requests.
I checked all our nodes, and specifically our LA ones as you mentioned you have a LA VPS, and none are experiencing such frequent downtimes. Do you have any firewall set up on your server (or any sort of iptables based rulesets) that could be rate limiting your monitoring system, or triggering false positives?
-nathan.
You can check this #325083 and #795141. I did not place an order during Black Friday. It was ordered on 4 March.
I haven’t touched anything, especially firewall things after I decided to monitor it. I have created a ticket #585309 about migrating or moving my VPS to another node.
Thanks.
Got it, I see things were resolved but I just followed up to you in a ticket to make sure everything is good and to see if you needed anything else. Please feel free to correspond with me there and I’ll be happy to work with ya :)
-nathan.
I signed up for NFP on their Cyber Monday deal. They are decent folks, who work hard to provide an honest and good service. I’m using my server for various purposes including VPN and hosting small projects. The server has always been available and performs great. I would absolutely recommend them.
Hey Joel,
You’re awesome, thanks for the appreciation!
-nathan.
@Nathan, How long does a PTR record take to update? Sent in a ticket already; I didn’t see it configurable in the management page.
Hey Jeff,
rDNS updates can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate globally.
-nathan.
Thanks. You guys got me squared away!
Any plans for ipv6?
Definitely soon!
I have a VPS in their LA location. There must have been some CPU or I/O issue – look at this smokeping https://i.imgur.com/IDaiYXa.png
Yes, spikes up to 3+ seconds for half a day to respond to a simple http request for a non-existent page.
Hey,
I’ve never used smokeping before so quite frankly I don’t understand how to interpret that graph myself, but if you open a support ticket I can make sure I have one of our technicians check everything and make sure we get you all squared away. I definitely want to make sure your experience is nothing short of a positive one here!
-nathan.
I just ordered for the 1GB RAM – LEB VPS Special plus 30GB extra space. After paying through PayPal. I was unable to login. Immediate I login, I will be logout immediately I click any link in the dashboard. I have opened a ticket. Waiting for response.
I can now login. 30GB addon space has been added. Everything is working fine now.
Awesome! Thanks Emmanu.
-nathan.
Thanks guys. I signed up for one of the VPS’s.
Performance is better than my LSN cloud, so color me satisfied.
– Jonathan
Great! Thanks and please feel free to let us know if there’s anything we can help you with.
-nathan.
Got one of these yesterday. Pleasantly surprised. Looks like I don’t have very noisy neighbors cause performance is very good. Hope it continues :)
Awesome and I will make sure your positive experience continues! Thanks! Enjoy your Sunday brother.
-nathan.
That did not last too long. I’ve been staring at the screen trying to do a simple apt install of a single package for 5 minutes. Eh, can’t complain too much for the price.
Benchmark. Network is good but IO is killing me.

root@nfphost:~#
We can look into that for you :) Please shoot over a ticket at https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=2
-nathan.
hi hacktek, what kind exactly do you use to benchmark this vps ?
Thanks
I’m looking for 32mb vps feeling 1gRAM too big!
It never hurts to have more, never know when you might need the extra power, agree? :)
Purchased the 9$/year option. Its a great deal and is working nicely for my website.
Hey Chris,
I’m delighted to hear that, thanks and let us know if you ever need any help!
-nathan.
Thanks, nice offers. PPP can be enabled yes? Im having trouble at my host so if so im going to try one of these
Hey Randy,
Yes, PPP can be enabled in the control panel :) I’m sure you will be happy with our service if you give us a try!
-nathan.
Taked the 18$/yr offer.
The server has good performance and the price is amazing!
Thank you for let us know of these great offers.
Hey Yub,
Thanks for grabbing one!
-nathan.
Ordered yesterday, if i do “reboot” the machine won’t start again, now i tried to install debian 9 and the server doesn’t boot.
The connection if i do pingtest gives 4 packet loss (100%).
i am talking about NY Node
Hey Matteo,
This sounds like your VPS was suspended by Nodewatch for abuse (either for spamming or sending outbound DoS). Assumptions aside, please shoot over a ticket to support and we will identify the exact reason and get you back up and running. None of our nodes are experiencing any downtime.
-nathan.
So far, we counted the VPS went into “suspended” mode for 5 times or more. When we asked in the ticket for a root cause, no reply. If you really care about the customers, please explain. Thank you.
Otherwise, I would not recommend anyone to use nfphosting. We are seriously considering a refund request.
By far a breath of fresh air compared to other LEB providers I’ve used. Nathan sure knows how to run a show! Loving my VPS.
Thank you Miguel, I appreciate that!
-nathan.
Shared Hosting Special didn’t support LSCache Module, so we cant use Litespeed Cache on WordPress site or any CMS. I’m very disappointed.
Hi,
In my testing, LSCache Module causes stability issue on shared hosting server. But it is good if you are hosting only one or two website on server. I am sure that, this is the reason many shared hosting provider use Litespeed but do not activate the LSCache module.
I disagreed, LSCache Module still active on StableHost or Hawkhost, and it’s completely good active
still performance and service is not bad for the price, and still better than EIG LOL. You cannot compare it to StableHost, they are charging nearly $100 a year for a small shared hosting account..
hi, i’ve seen many reviewed their VPS plans. anybody care to review their shared hosting plans if you had purchased one?
Not bad, exceeds my expectations for my $1 per year. Cheaper and still better than EIG hosts that would charge $15/month, unless you pay annually, which even then is still ex LOL
Eventually, I might plan to upgrade to the VPS plan, it is still a good bargain.
I appreciate it Lee, we’re glad to have ya :)
-nathan.
Hi,
Are you support MYSQL 5.6 on your shared hosting plan?
Hey Asraf,
Yes, MySQL 5.6 is supported!
-nathan.
Nathan,
I need 4-5 accounts of this plan, (Shared Hosting Special – $1/year) but on different locations. Do you have anything for me ?
Hey David,
We’ll have New York available for shared hosting in the near future, I’ll be working on that launch soon. For now we offer VPS in both LA and New York if you’re looking for some location diversity.
-nathan.
Hello Nathnan,
I purchased The 1G VPS two days ago, at the new york region,
today I am having a down time, I can’t reach to my vps, and I can’t start it from my panel,
I submitted a ticket but no response yet.
but I want to ask if the downtime issue could happen a lot or it is just accidental.
Thanks
OK problem solved by by The Support.
Awesome to hear that! Thanks for joining us, and feel free to contact us if you need anything else :)
-nathan.
I have started using VPS hosting just recently and I bought NFP Hosting 1GB RAM – LEB VPS Special a couple of weeks back. I also bought 1GB VPS under Black Friday sale a few months back and I must say that I am quite HAPPY with their performances.
Absolutely No Issues so far.
Keep up the Good Work and Keep Posting Great giveaways. I will keep buying some good stuff.
I also bought Shared Hosting Special for 3 years and must say that this one is working awesome too.
Just one question about Shared Hosting. Do you guys block or allow SSH access for these Shared Hosting accounts as I am not able to SSH access it after generating the public-private keys using any of the SSH tunneliers.
Hey Chitrang,
Thanks for being a returning customer! I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying your services with us!
Shell access is an available addon for shared hosting accounts! You should find the option to add it under product addons. Let me know if you need any help.
-nathan.
Yes, raised a ticket, got the response, paid for the SSH access and able to access through SSH.
BEST PART, git is installed
Thank NFP Hosting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I appreciate it! You’re amazing. We look forward to hosting you for many years to come.

Another happy customer here. You can’t beat the personal feel type of service you get with mom and pop shops like this one, compared to the big guys like Vultr (who I’m migrating away from, in favour of NFP).
Nathan and Jamie from support have both been more than helpful in answering my questions, and have well exceeded my expectations. Havent had to wait more than 30 minutes for a reply to my tickets (really), and one of them was submitted late at night.
Thank you for sharing these deals!
Hey Michael,
Glad we could help ya out :) Thanks for being awesome!

Order 1G VPS instead of 2G VPS by mistake. I raised a ticket the same day (in the next hour) I ordered, to have my order cancelled and make a new one with the correct VPS. I got an automated message saying “Unfortunately, this issue is a above my level of expertise, so I am going to send this over to relevant managers.” … 24hrs later a 1G VPS created without my paid add-ons … And still no response from the relevant managers … I wonder if I encounter a bigger problem later on (like network issues and availability) ll i get the same experience and have to wait for a relevant manager??? Really disappointed…
I don’t see what they did wrong, to be honest. Try being more patient. Sales and billing is usually not a 24×7 staffed department in any company. The tech guy did the right thing, by escalating it instead of trying to handle something that isn’t his department. How’s that gotta do with network availability and all that you’re talking about?
And no, I’m not a NFP customer yet, so I can’t comment on their service. I just felt obliged to chime in, working for an ISP helpdesk myself…
Hi Jack,
been 16days with the VPS and today is unreachable. Their website says ‘There are no Network Issues Currently’. Ofc i ping’ed vps ip from different isp, restarted and such. Their Portal says VPS is online and getting ALL infos from it. Raised a ticket now and let’s see how fast they are resolving the issue.
OFC i ll update here.
Got everything sorted. I hope I won’t have to w8 24hr for more urgent issues. I ll update if needed.
Hey Ioannis,
Awesome to hear that! Definitely not, taking care of our existing clients and handling any technical issues are always prioritized first, and tech support is available around the clock. Our average response time is under an hour! :)
Billing tickets are handed off to either myself or 2 other people in my team who I know are capable of handling billing and know the ins and outs of our billing system WHMCS.
-nathan.
Is there any link speed limit on these shared hosting plan?
Hey Terry,
Our shared hosting servers are on 1Gbps uplinks.
-nathan.
nathan, it’s really nice to hear that. One more question, when will shared hosting plans available at your New York Data Center?
I’m going to be working on that project next week, so hopefully by the end of this month we should have shared hosting available in NY :)
-nathan.
How long for activation? Just about 24 hours so far and nothing.
whoa… all donr. snappy so far.
You’re awesome! Thank you for choosing us.
-nathan.
Unprofessional bunch. Requested a new node for a terribly under-performing machine, and was only provided with the change once I requested a refund because the machine went completely unresponsive and wouldn’t even reboot from the panel.
Jamie from support staff does not read requests, or really enjoys the cat-and-mouse game with the customers. I did not want to post publicly so I sent a message to “management” saying I did not like how they handle requests and would not be using them, even without a refund, and the reply was “We have resolved the issue. Now your server is back to online.”
It seems that they can read and understand you quite well in the first three days.
Hey CK,
Do you mind sending me with some ticket numbers I can review? My email is nathan@nfphosting.com
Will definitely find a way to make sure any issues are resolved to your complete satisfaction :)
-nathan.
Just a quick follow-up for everyone here: Sent an email 3 days ago; no response at all.
All squared away. Thanks CK!
-nathan.
1$? NOT EVEN WORTH IT!
I decided to give it a try and bought 1$ shared hosting. The server was OK for the first day. Third day, cpanel said cpu is high on the server. It wasn’t me who keep the cpu high of course. Then an email came out, I got a refund without a legitimate explanation! They even deleted my customer login account.
To whom it may concern; KEEP AWAY FROM NFPHOSTING
Hey,
Please take in consideration that we run Dual Intel Xeon Server processors on our shared/reseller hosting servers. There are two physical CPUs for a total of at least 16 cores per server, some even running upon 24 or 32 core systems.
The only time we would refund and close an account without you requesting it is if the account was absolutely concluded as a fraudulent transaction (and this is based on factual data from hosting provider’s reports on FraudRecord, MaxMind, and also based on other forms of research). We aren’t going to take a hit on a $25 chargeback fee for a $1 transaction.
Please email me at nathan@nfphosting.com with your account details if you are looking for more details.
-nathan.
Anyone can post server load of cPanel shared/reseller ?
I would recommend NFPhosting! Ordered one of the 9 dollars a year VPS last week. Service has been pretty good and has honestly exceeded my expectations for the price. Wasn’t expecting to use it for anything more than a test bed, but now feel comfortable enough to throw some of my blogs on there.
Hey Anton,
Appreciate it very much, thank you!
-nathan.

Considering I am on opposite coast, both of the above shared hosts pop up a web site (uncached browser) adequately.
Whilst in babble mode, I struggled for quite a long time with maintaining my own mail server–painful postfix/opendkim/etc/ & tuning RBL’s.
For NFP 1$ a year you can forward email to your gmail – or whatever service floats ur boat.
Hey Howard,
Thanks for joining! Sounds like the I/O issue is because we run CloudLinux on our shared servers which throttles/restricts that kind of activity, you should really only be running those kind of tests on a VPS or an environment where you have your own server :)
If there’s anything we can help you out with, please let us know!
-nathan.
Hi Nathan,
Does the KVM OS have windows on it?
Or should i bought the windows VPS instead? Do you have special offer for this?
Hey Yohanes,
No promos for Windows VPS at the moment though I’ll definitely consider this for our next round!
-nathan.
Thanks Nath, will surely wait.
I just bought the reseller hosting and VPS#1.
Kindly advise nameserver for the reseller hosting.
Those details are mentioned in the welcome email :)
-nathan.
Is it possible to upgrade Debian 8 to Debian 9 on you VPS?
Hey Noel
Yes for sure, Debian 9 is something you can re-install your server to in Virtualizor.
I will update our order forms with Debian 9 as an option now too.
-nathan.
Nahan, the Master reseller plan isn´t available.
Is the offer expired??
Thanks,
The offer is still available :)
What error are you getting?
-nathan.
Great provider.. Nice offers. Thank you for the share!
Hey Mark,
You’re awesome, thank you for the appreciation :)
-nathan.
never buy it again ,already bad provide , i have terrible experience
Hey Ben,
Have you contacted us or can you provide me with more information? I have nothing to work off right now but it is my desire to resolve your issue 100%.
Email me at nathan@nfphosting.com :)
-nathan.
Now, I can not access the control panel.
” A 50X error occurred “
Hey Ryu,
You caught us during our Virtualizor update that they recently rolled out! All sorted out within 20 minutes of that. Let us know if you need anything else!
-nathan.
I got a VPS with them in New York. Got only good things to say. The tremendous amount of value here is astonishing – thanks to LEB!
Hey Mitchell,
Thank you for joining, really appreciate your amazing words :)
-nathan.
Hi, how much for aditional IPs?
Hey Sebastian,
We can add additional IPs for $1.59/monthly (or $14/annually) each. If you would like any, please open up a sales ticket and indicate which VPS you would like it added to.
-nathan.
recommended.. satisfying.. Thanks you ^_^
Hey Ericka,
Thank you, really appreciate it! If you need anything please feel free to contact us.
-nathan.
Im usage sience Black Friday 2017 i so happy for our servicese NFP thank you very so much.
That’s so awesome to hear! Enjoy :)

Please answer my ticket Ticket ID: 226021
Hey,
I show this was taken care of same day by Jamie, if you need anything else just let us know :)
-nathan.
Unreal. After setting up my entire website and going back and forth with their support. They tell me now that THEY DONT OFFER NAMESERVERS FOR THEIR VPS PRODUCT. Unreal. About to cancel. I need to manually install a DNS or have my customers go to an IP Address???
Hey Spencer,
You can set up your own nameservers, register child nameservers for your domain (i.e. dns1 and dns2, or ns1/ns2) to point to your VPS IP address.
-nathan.
The cpu load on $1 hosting is always high. But I didn’t expect much for $1. [img]https://s31.postimg.cc/ta2kd855n/Screenshot_from_2018-04-13_12-38-36.png[/img]
Hey James,
Did you open a support ticket about this? We’d love to look into it, at this time I do not show any excessive server loads on any of our servers according to our monitoring systems.
-nathan.
Can I install open VPN on your vps?
Thanks in advance .
Hey Shounak,
Yes, you can install Open VPN on our VPS servers.
-nathan.
I have rented 1GB LEB Exclusive VPS Promotion. It is run extremely slow and really hard to access it. That caused my websites are often down. Also the VPS Panel is very slow and very hard to manage it. Looks like the NFP Hosting’s server is overutilized. Could you fix it as soon as possible?
Hey Ammar,
Have you sorted this out with our support team?
Virtualizor panel loading times was improved after updating Virtualizor the other night.
-nathan.
Well I ordered a 2GB LEB Exclusive VPS Promotion and it has been stuck in pending state for more than 6hours now..
Hey lycanwrath,
Did you order with a valid hostname? (FQDN)
I will manually go through any all pending orders now and push them through.
-nathan.
I purchased their $9 per year plan. They were kind enough to open up port 25 for me also. Really blown away by their service and support considering how inexpensive this is.
Hey Chris,
Thanks for joining and for taking the time to write about us! We’re happy to have you :)
-nathan.
I made a request and paid. But they did not respond, not even the ticket I sent.
Hey Jacques,
What is your ticket number?
-nathan.
Overall quite nice website, easy to setup VPS, 9 USD per year for a 1 GB VPS is acceptable. Only downside is the somewhat outdated OVZ Linux kernel (2.6), which can’t be upgraded.
Hey,
I’m pleased to inform you that we run the latest versions of the OVZ kernels.
You can view OVZ’s changelog/update history here: https://openvz.org/News/updates – we keep our kernels pretty recent and updated with them :)
-nathan.
Also the VPS on the New York cluster are very slow. Buy VPS on the Los Angeles cluster instead, this one works better.
This company seems to be fraud, I’ve hired a service for more than 24 hours and opened a ticket, and there was no response. I do not recommend.
Hey Jacques,
It’s very rare that the IPN does not catch a payment, but if this happens, we just need the transaction ID to manually apply your payment towards the invoice.
Can you open a ticket to billing with your transaction ID please?
-nathan.
This server is very poor.will automatically close the program process and the network connection.When you want to refund,You will not get any response.Only lose your money.
Hey Jackson,
I’m not showing any network issues on our side. We would however like to look into your case individually, a traceroute would also help if you could include that in your ticket :)

vps and vps control very slow
Hey Mohamed,
Virtualizor panel loading times was improved after updating Virtualizor the other night.
Please contact our support team if you have any other outstanding issues! https://portal.nfphosting.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=2
-nathan.
Good provider and decent offers! Decided to give em a try a couple weeks ago and must say it works better than my other servers which cost three times more. Thanks NFP!
Hey Pierrce,
Very happy to hear that, looking forward to growing with you :)
-nathan.
Nathan,
Your company canceled my service when I asked for a 2nd IPv4 address. I have a double charge on my credit card and no credit on my card.

Thank you
Terance
P.S: I don’t normally go public with this type of stuff, but I didn’t even get a e-mail asking me why.
Hey Terance,
Sorry about the inconvenience. Looks like your order was refunded as our payment processor has indicated to us that your payment was flagged to be fraudulent, please get in touch with me if you need more details.
-nathan.
Hello
I am interested in:
2GB RAM – LEB VPS Special
– 2GB RAM
– 2x CPU Core
– 40GB HDD Space
– 3TB Bandwidth
– 100Mbps Network Port
– 1x IPv4
– Virtualizor/OpenVZ
– $18/year
Is FUSE activated and allowed?
I’m interested in hosting a Plex server. The storage would be out of the VPs through google drive. Is this allowed?
I live in Europe. Do you think it will work for me?
Do not buy. I’ve ordered (and paid) a VPS four days ago, but it still has “pending” status and tech support does not answer at all. A total scam.
Hey Dmitry,
That is my fault! We sold more VPS than we had planned for in the past couple weeks, and ran out of space in New York for a couple days while we were getting new nodes up and running.
Anyways, new nodes have been set up in New York and all pending orders have been activated so you should be all set. Also, now in the order form, it will display the setup time (based on real time inventory by location) so that there are no misunderstandings on how soon you’ll receive your VPS moving forward!
-nathan.
I ordered the 1GB box with extra storage for Nextcloud, CalDav, Calibre, VPN. But they’re running openVZ with a 2.6.32 kernel and no option to upgrade. So that means Docker won’t run, since 3.1 is the minimum kernel. That’s such a basic functionality that doesn’t work. Pass on this one.
Hey Jawsua,
We are running the latest RHEL6 based OpenVZ kernels :)
Due to the way OpenVZ VPS’s works, containers share the same kernel as the host node.
Stay tuned for our new KVM offers we’ll be releasing soon, which will allow you to run your own kernel!
-nathan.
Yeah, but that’s an 8 year old kernel. That’s ridiculous, and the inability to run Docker is unreasonable.
Another dissapointed client from Alpharacks and Woothosting, their reseller plan seems suck and customer support seems uncapable with cpanel.
Just ordered reseller plan from nfp but seems same slow respons to ticket.
Ask for free migration from Alpharack to NFP without responses
Thanks for the information.
There is rarely a web hosting that is sold very cheap.
i’m already buy a vps
it’s also viewed as active service
but i don’t have the ip & password
can’t find it on service detail
no email sent contain my vps ip & password
already open a ticket but the respond is “This ticket is going into the manager queue.”
my ticket id is: #772718
how hard to find my vps ip & password?
Hi Nathan. Any news on the New York shared hosting? I have one of yours in LA and would like another in a different location.
Thanks
Andy
Hi nfp,
i wonder about “Reseller Hosting Special” and i just bought one of your service so. my question is that just for the first year or same price ?
thanks
I sadly have to say that they played me a bad trick. They sent me an offer about a VPS with 3gb. I tried to check if there was a Windows version but didn’t find on their website. I replied to the email and asked if they could manage to give me that offer with Windows and they told me “give us a Windows downloadable link and we will mount it for you, just choose a different OS and buy the offer now”. I did what they said, bought a Windows license and sent it to them with the downloadable link. At this point they simply refused to mount it, saying that the offer was for an OpenVZ and not for a KVM server. Of course that wasn’t written in the email, nor the customer care alerted me about that. Now I have a Windows Server license which I don’t use because of their incompetence.
Can’t warn you enough to stay away from these guys.
I ordered the master reseller from this seller and I am still waiting for the account to be setup. Just be aware it isn’t instant setup and the support ticket I put in still hasn’t been answered. Seems a little slow on support, and I haven’t seen many hosts that use whmcs and do not automatic account creation.
Anyway, I will post an update once they’ve answered my ticket.
any update?
I have ordered reseller hosting. Still no activation, no ticket response.
sorry alpharacks 756MB+OMB swap vs NFP 2GB+4GBswap, alpharacks win for this, trash $$$. disappointing leaving alpharacks (slow) to nfp (junk).seriously avoid NFP.
I ordered their “Shared Hosting Special”. Everything went smoothly until the cpanel credential. They charged me and I got all the formal emails. And the email with new account info they provided me a fake(!?) or invalid cpanel details. Then I opened a support ticket and after 3hours no solution. Moreover I can’t visit the cpanel login page normally after opening the ticket. Surprisingly I can visit that with my vpn on! Are they banning ips now?
Lucky me i just wanted to test and bought $1 product. It seems scam now.
Yesterday morning I bought “2GB LEB Exclusive VPS Promotion” plan. After 32 hours I still have no access to my VPS. My server has status Pending. No respond from support… This VPS is a joke. I lost 18 $.
Just what you get when you buy cheap hosting: “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.” Notification that just started showing on my wordpress site hosted on NFP.
Also, support takes forever to reply and at times they even close tickets without replying…
DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!!
I would like Nathan to please respond to ticket #639326
I am constantly having problems with my VPS where it goes offline and then when the Server Information finally loads (sooooo slow) it shows the OS as “other OS”
I really want a prorated refund on the remainder of my service and to close my account.
This is not how you run a business.
Hi,
About Reseller Hosting Special plan:
1. Do you enable git, ssh access, and nodejs?
2. Can I upgrade to master reseller latter?
Thank you
Hi
Does your shared hosting support python? or any python wsgi like flask? It seems that cloudlinux supports that.
Too bad you use HDDs. Sharing HDD is bad. Use SSD instead.
Hi,
I have ordered a shared hosting plan from NFP Hosting. To be honest, I have no idea how they can be a hosting provider for over 12 years. tldr version, just do not buy from them.
Let me start it off with this, I may have bought a budget cheap hosting plan of $1 however I am treated worse than a user of a free hosting plan. I opened a ticket, #369612, on November 27 as my payment for the plan has went through and I was given the hosting details, but was unable to log in to cPanel. Ticket was responded in 7 hours.
I purchased the plan on November 28 and was hosted on server with codename ‘citrus’. Fiddling around, I noticed that the loading time for pages and cPanel are way too long. At a mark of over 1 minute, pages are still loading. I was using ByetHost free hosting before this and I must say for a free hosting provider, their servers load fast, within seconds. As for NFP Hosting, using cPanel and phpMyAdmin is a pain, with over a minute wait in between pages and navigation. Feeling frustrated but still keeping my cool, I replied to the previously opened ticket on November 28. Jamie suggested to move me to another server. I replied, yes please if it is any faster. Ticket took 2 days to be responded by NFP Hosting, 2 DAYS. That’s 48 hours.
My account got moved to server with codename orange. Logged in to cPanel and cPanel displayed a message in the main page saying ‘This copy is a trial version and will expire at the end of the trial term. You will need to upgrade to a paid copy to continue using the software after that term.’. Hmm, what a joke. I also noticed my available bandwidth is 100GB instead of 1TB. I responded to the ticket again on November 30 at 0950 hours, no response till now. Softaculous installer? Nope, not available in my plan. Even though its indicated in the above post that it is included in the $1 plan. I opened another ticket, #573161, minutes ago.
Avoid buying from this hosting provider. They can’t make up their idea on what plan to give me, use an unlicensed cPanel for their paying customer, very slow server loading speed and very unresponsive customer support. 12 years of providing hosting service? I am not sure how they can do it.
this is the test result from their vps pool under this speed, you basically can do nothing.
I am so pissed that I throw my money into the trash.
