Low End Virtual

Nixcom – $4.99 512MB Xen VPS Exclusive Offer

LEA's avatar LEA 94 comments
Updated October 2011: Martin from Nixcom has decided to terminate the service. See this comment and replied comments for discussions.

Nixcom Martin from Nixcom.ca has sent me an exclusive offer on their new Xen nodes in Baltimore MD. Two packages, and I suspect these are Canadian dollars (so less when you convert to USD).

  • VPS-256-xLEB (order link)
  • 256MB memory/512MB swap
  • 10GB storage
  • 500GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
  • $2.99/month or $7.99/quarter
  • VPS-512-xLEB (order link)
  • 512MB memory/1024MB swap
  • 20GB storage
  • 1000GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
  • $4.99/month or $12.99/quarter
Updated: Xen nodes have all been sold out (just over an hour after I posted the above offer), but Martin has kindly set up some OpenVZ boxes. Same price, same spec. Chicago DC. Order VPS-256-oLEB, and Order VPS-512-oLEB.

You can use onyx.nixcom.ca for ping/traceroute test. The actual server is dual-core i3-540 with 8GB memory and RAID1. Low end desktop grade stuff but very good bang for the buck. It is a very good deal though which I think might be below cost. So it is a loss leader to gain market share and available in very limited amount.

    hehe, thanks for your business!

    It seems that this good deal is very popular!!! We have some ressources left but we have to wait for more IPs to be set on this node. We will have more stock available soon 🙂

    Thanks to everyone, and a BIG thanks to LowEndBox 🙂

    No subscription has been set for now. Did you took a 3 month term? If so, after that, would you like we deal something out for a long term deal?

    @Martin Surely that would add an advantage, for me personally i can work on OpenVZ or XEN. Most of readers here prefers XEN though. Let me know if there is such package and i’d like to know if you have reseller program on VPS. Thanks and brgds

    Ping is kinda unstable (124min 136max 10 ping jumps), but routing to lithuania seemed good, lt->telia->nlayer-singlehop and I think I maxed out with 1.9MB’s on your file.

    PS:Muahah found it on WHT http://adm.nixcom.ca/files/test.tar.gz ;P
    PSS:I’ll order a xen if you come back with that offer 😉

    Hi Martin, will you only offer Openvz deals? Please just let us know whether you will offer Xen or not. so we dont need to come back here, and the admin of this site can switch this to Openvz category…

    I wanted a xen-512MB, but it is out of stock right now. That is too bad.
    From Spain ping is around 160ms.
    Will I ever see a cheap Spanish vps ??
