Adam from NordicVPS has sent me a very nice exclusive offer for LowEndBox readers. For $15/year you can get the following VPS (OVZ128-LEB order link):
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 15GB storage
- 600GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
For $35/year it upgrades you to OVZ256-LEB (order link) with 256MB/512MB memory, 30GB storage and 1000GB/month data transfer.
No prize for guessing where they copied their plans from. I guess not much competition at this point as BuyVM has already sold out all the stock. BuyVM servers are also located in Fremont (good for Asia), but NordicVPS has its servers in Germany with Hetzner.
Now on annual plans — I understand that it makes sense for the providers. PayPal and credit card merchant accounts take a big chunk out for processing fee, and having fund available up front also helps to build and extend the business. Just that after the RackVM incident — make sure you do your due diligence and backup often 🙂

One Step at a Time: Interview with M'barek Dhibi, CEO and Founder of Pawnhoster, Plus a Deal for You...
LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.

我的VPS仅用了一个月就被删了，理由很简单：DDOS，详情见后面的附注。
网络上的DDOS其实并不少见，但我想这和我没关系。
我买的这个VPS根本没做什么站，绝不会和任何人发生利益冲突，怎么可能引来别人的DDOS呢。难道能将下面的理由随便换个IP就发给用户说是你ABUSE了？
我是真的不明白。
另外，就算是别人有DDOS我，也应该由机房空IP路由处理啊，怎么不警告就将我的删除了呢。
附注理由：
Your VPS was hit by a severe DDOS attack today.

My VPS was terminated just after 1 month of purchase. The reason (claimed by them) is pretty simple – DDoS.
DDoS isn’t really un-common on the net, however I doubt whether I was the main factor of being attracted by hackers(crackers).
The VPS bought aren’t really used for hosting websites, which I guess would not cause conflict with competitors.
Even though I was being DDoS-ed, I doubt that shouldn’t get the IP null-routed by the datacenter, rather than being terminated by them?
Reason claimed by NordicVPS:
Your VPS was hit by a severe DDOS attack today.

I’d apologize for my poor English.
DISCLAIMER: Replied was not translated after checking. I bear no responsibly for any mistake, nor mis-leading information.
The DC did nullroute your IP. NordicVPS then terminated your account.
What were you doing with the VPS?
Generally, competitors don’t DDOS each other’s websites, so I’m not sure why you mentioned that…
And DDOS is uncommon. It rarely happens. You have to be a big target or piss off the wrong people, or both.
useless for say all now,
i can’t check my all LOG message.
You still know what you were running on the VPS. Was it something more likely to attract DDOS like an imageboard, IRC, gameserver, warez-related, etc?
no SPAM MAIL;no COPYRIGHT things;NO IRC;NO GAMESERVER;NO WAREZ-RELATED;
about this all ,Sean can check the server again.
thanks to KLIKLI.
Did they rebuild your VPS, and gave you new IP?
no answer.
thanks.

My VPS has been deleted after one month’s usage because of ‘DDOS’. You can have a reference near the end of this so call passage.I think that everybody know that DDOS attack is very common but what happened on me is none of my business. I have not put lots of site on this VPS, jsut a few and I absoultly sure that I won’t be the one who is being attacked easily because I don’t have any conflicts (usually $$) with others.Why can they use such unreasonable reason to say I abuse your service?
Moreover, I really don’t understand that why they need to suspend my VPS even though somebody attack me. They can try to do something on their router to stop the internet access temporary of my VPS!They even haven’t warn me in any way!!!
so call reasons for suspending my VPS by those staffs：
Your VPS was hit by a severe DDOS attack today.

DDOS attacks are *NOT* very common.
thanks to chipang/Roy Lo/NoName.
Just received an attack from ~40/50 botnets on mine attacking ssh on my german’s NordicVPS. :'(
The VPS was kinda answering fine, even with a 4 load. Problem solved by changing ssh port, I’m going to use a white list now 😉
2 weeks ago,no one reply the ticket.
this guy won’t answer any ticket.
That’s who he is, so if you have problem with vps, forget any help.
They always answered my questions and solved my issues not within hours, but within days. But guys what do you expect for 15 bucks a year? You get a really good VPS for that amazing price.
ya, with $15, I expect the server is at least on, it’s been down 2 straight days. I saw lots of people defending Rackvm, after they went under, I wonder
what happened to those who’s so quick defending him.
Good to see I’m not the only one with this issue. I opened a ticket.
They’ve got one node down. That doesn’t mean they run away.
I am very disappointed of their service. They have problem with one of their servers (hardware) where my VPS is hosted since Nov 9th. They promised me a solution (migration) but it never occurred. Since then, this server is up and down all the time. 5 Days ago they emailed me and wrote that server hard disc is about to die and I should backup my data. 2 days ago it stopped working and my VPS is offline. Since then I haven’t heard of them and they don’t answer support tickets. I don’t understand if they knew that hard disc is going to die, why not take action on time???
For persons that need reliable server and serious service, I wouldn’t recommend NordicVPS definitely!!
My VPS is hosted on German node.
opened a ticket? this guy won’t answer any ticket.
some of them are sitting there for 3 weeks.
Third day of downtime today…. time to find something new.
another rackvm, take money and run.
If they offer a cheap price, that is not my problem. They wanted customers, and for that reason their prices were low. But at least the vps should work!!!, and at least they should answer tickets saying “I am working to fix the problem…”, but there is no answer.
My two vps are down since Saturday night, and I do not know anything, several tickets opened. No answer. I do not want to loose my data 🙁 I promise I will make a backup if God gives me another chance.
I have seen in another vps of mine, that on Saturday night it suffered a web attack. But the vps is still alive.
Please, Nordic man, come back!! 🙁
That other vps which suffered a web attack and it is still alive, is from another company, not from Nordic. But I hope Christian is agree and they will not run away…
yes, pleas nordic come back so the unbelievers will leave and i can get more buyvm!!!
buyvm is good if you know what you’re doing, i like how they are always adding new stuffs that no one else has :3
What about buyvm support? exists ? 🙂
We have a very active community (IRC for now, forums on the way) where, not only are staff active, but also other customers so getting support/news/etc is quite fast. Tickets are pretty quick too. While we don’t have 24/7 support, we do answer in a timely manner and resolve all issues as quick as possible.
Francisco
Im thinking now beetwen yardvps and buyvm. Any experience with them ?
Comparing OpenVZ packages, from usage point of view BuyVM performs better than YardVPS. While BuyVM is good in general, YardVPS is good *only* for VPN or backup (something that doesn’t require much IO or CPU power).
We’re great for VPN’s as well 🙂
We have tons of VPN’s supported by default: SIT/GRE/TUN & TAP/PPTP are all enabled by default.
Francisco
Hey Francisco, when will 256 and 512 buyvm plan avai for order? I need asps 😀
DC (Hetzner) took down a node server because of large amount of attacks originating from few VPS’s hosted on that node.
We are working with them to bring back the node server but it requires some paperwork.
And how long that be, one week downtime to fill one paper ?
We sent the documents and awaits their response now.
Be honest, there was no attack, Nordic didn’t pay bills.
that’s why DC turned the M/C off. and Nordic has no intention of paying any bills. Had to submit paper? Never heard that kind of procedure.
All the people defending Nordic, pattern is same when Rackvm went down.
@NordicVPS, I am happy to hearing from you!!!
You are still alive!!, and so it is possible to recover my data from my vps!!
My vps’s are in OVZ02 node.
Please, do not forget to tell us when vps’s work again.
I hate people that waste its time making bad things like web attacks. In my vps I have webs from my customers, and my customers give me money for my family. I am not Bill Gates… if I loose my customers I do not know what I could do :S
I’ve a VPS on the OVZ02 node which went down as well. There’s still no word from them on when my VPS will be back online. I submitted a support ticket with NordicVPS last night and still no response from them. Support on their end is really bad!
Well, first it was hard disc failure and now web attacks??
As far as I could understand, every prick that buy from you one single VPS and does stuff that DC doesnt like, can take your whole node down?? Good to know!
Actually many datacenters have that policy. I’ve had boxes turned off and/or disconnected by techs due to them being hacked in some way. Not many though as I have 24/7 monitoring, both human and automated. Anything goes wrong and usually it gets noticed. Back in my *shudder* ev1 days, it came up at least once a day in their support forums as well.
If a box is sending out DDoS attacks or the like, down it comes until it gets resolved.
Finally I have my vps’s!!!, now they are up, and everything appears normal.
Thank you nordicvps, very late but never mind, they are working!
Next time answer tickets at the beginning, not at the end… it is terrible when you do not know anything…
Now, as I promised, I will backup them….
Maybe now they know, how we feel sometimes, when we don’t get any reply…
I hope Nordic keeps up there promise, to hire more people in 2011.
Besides there support, its a very good provider.
The VPS is very stable (up 22 days), very fast speeds, but no support reply.
Still waiting for netadmin and tun/tap to be enabled and rDNS.
Al my support tickets are answered, seems that they have new help!
It was never a virus attack, nor was any disk failure.
It was billing problem, if you know what I mean.
How can you believe what this Nordic guy say?
He doesn’t care about customer, ticket system is not even a system because nobody answers,
everything he’s been saying was lie upon lie.
Don’t believe a word from Nordic.
yes, looks like they have hired new support staff. My month old tickets have been answered. It is positive sign, they are getting stable and pro. Best of luck Nordic! 🙂
All tickets will be answered and solved by the support team.
We had a mess with OVZ02 and I am sorry for the trouble. You can read a short statement on the OVZ02 downtime issue here: http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/nordicvps-15year-128mb-openvz-vps-in-fremont-exclusive-offer/#comment-17204
If you need more information regarding the downtime please submit a ticket to the Information dept.
Please follow us on Twitter #NordicVPS for latest updates and status announcements.
Thanks.
These guys are unbelievable. They deleted my VPS just like that without warning !!!
I purchased a VPS, Paid it and now it’s gone?
I got a refund of 9.95 from 2Checkout 1 week later I had paid to nordicVPS.
But I didn’t realized until now that my VPS would be deleted.
For some reason it marked as Fraud and refunded 1 week later but nordic didnt even email me or anything. just deleted my VPS out of nothing.
I spent so many hours setting up that VPS and it’s gone. Thrown away just like that !
that is so disappointing.
I cant believe it they did that.
That is totally unbelievable….
“We do not support IPv6 for the small plans OVZ128 and OVZ256, if you upgrade to OVZ512 we will assign up to 16 IPv6 for free.”
Aren’t they pathetic?
Especially as they state in a reply to comment 2 above that ipv6 will be released to all their customers.
And they have even guts to send us:
FMT01 is scheduled for REBOOT to enable security updates and IPv6 setup.
Reboot it expected to take less than < 30 minutes.
But refuse to enable IPv6…
Yes and I specifically mentioned above that BuyVM does provide IPv6 on their “same $15/year plan”, to which Nordic replied they will too.
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/nordicvps-15year-128mb-openvz-vps-in-germany-exclusive-offer/#comment-11118
I wondering what will they do when IPv6 become standard and everyone will use it. Purposly cripple low end vpses to force people to upgrade to higher plans?
They can fool us now when IPv6 isn’t a must for most people yet, but later… they will look like buffoons with demand to upgrade to higher plans in order to get IPv6 address.
It’s first time that I meet such silly deman regarding IPv6 in vps hosting world. Most providers either have it available and enable it for free, either don’t have it available yet, but NordicVPS lied us with “IPv6 will be released to all our customers” and n0w they demand from us to upgrade to high end plan in order to get few IPv6 addresses.
We have decided to make IPv6 only for customers who pay monthly. We pay a monthly fee pr IPv4 that has been assigned to OVZ128 and OVZ256.
We do not unfortunately not yet have our own IP subnet range instead we lease the IPv4’s from our DC in Fremont, CA. If we owned our subnet range it will not be a problem. Our business is located in Europe and can not apply for ARIN (US) IP subnet but we must instead apply/purchase via RIPE (EU) for a European subnet and later re-assign to the different DCs but its a complex and expensive process. In Europe we experienced that DC requires a broadcasting/announcement fee pr IP, even if the subnet was owned by us.
With the expansion of IPv6, we hope old IPv4 will become obsolete so we can avoid these fees.
Everyone with OVZ128 and OVZ256 can upgrade to our special deal OVZ512 – LOWENDBOX (512GB RAM/768GB BURST, 20GB Storage, 1TB B/W) for just $4.50 pr month.
Submit a ticket and we will send a new invoice and upgrade the VPS instantly without downtime and assign you with 8 IPv6’s.
Because you pay for ipv4 address, you don’t give ipv6 addresses to the ovz128/ovz256 plans?
Yes, we make a loss everyday on the OVZ128 and OVZ256 ..
Which was part of your business plan, right?
If I may ask, where was the real plan when you copied us, BuyVM, shamelessly? Did you guys even do the math on how it worked out? There’s a reason we are **slow** on provisioning more nodes and more racks; We do constant changes to our business plan and re-calculate our costs, debts (if any, usually just lines-of-credits with newegg) and profits per rack.
At first everyone said we should take you, yard, akisoft and a few others copying us as flattery, but in the end all you’ve done is make users scared of the market pricing that we’ve been able to work into a **very** profitable margin.
There is more to how we make profit than just colocation & ARIN blocks.
You’re not going to get RIPE blocks, either. We already tried to grow into Europe, but Hetzner wouldn’t feed our IP usage and RIPE, even with our ARIN justification for a full /20, didn’t want to assign such a large block.
Please, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott to try to shed some IP cost and simply inform clients of either a price hike or that they have to go. Doing this whole ‘Oh IPV6 isnt free because we didn’t take into consideration that egihosting is charging us $100/m+ per /24’ is nothing but disrespectful to your clients.
Francisco

So… you hope for the expansion of IPv6 but will not provide IPv6 addresses to your customers, even though you can and these addresses are free? That makes perfect sense.
I’ll be honest, 99% of the ISP’s out there aren’t IPv6 ready and won’t be for a few more years.
In the USA only comcast is doing IPV6 testing and there is at least a few large ISP’s in the UK that have stated ‘no IPV6 until 2020’
Francisco
Sure, the move to IPv6 isn’t going to happen any time soon but that doesn’t make hoping for expansion of IPv6 and not providing IPv6 any less silly.
This is true, but that’s why now is a good time to learn and get yourself ready for V6, and be ahead of the rest. Even if your own ISP doesn’t do V6 natively, there are plenty of ways to get yourself going on V6 for free.
Also, large ISP != good ISP. 😉 Generally, the large ISPs here are only large due to ignorance, and people just wanting *AN* internet connection, regardless of the quality. Talk Talk might be cheap, but you’d be paying me before I went with them. Same with BT and VM.
Bottom line is, NordicVPS have done a pretty dodgy bait and switch on customers, promising that IPV6 will be available, for free, and then trying to pull a fast one like this.
My comment is to more back the idea of how silly a paid for ‘ipv6 only’ vps is. The valueserver people were doing it for free and saw a huge amount of no one using the VPS after a couple days.
Fran
I think the problem with VS was that it WAS free. People would sign up just to get something for nothing, then realise they didn’t need it, so didn’t use it.
If you’re paying for something, you’ll find some use for it. Paid-for V6 only would probably get more use than a free one.
DO you mean the monthly price is $4.5 or the upgrade cost is $4.5?
Customers with OVZ128 and OVZ256 who does want to upgrade to a monthly plan and do not need/require IPv4 IP address can exchange their IPv4 for 16 x IPv6 IP addresses!
Customers with OVZ128 and OVZ256 who does NOT want to upgrade to a monthly plan and do not need/require IPv4 IP address can exchange their IPv4 for 16 x IPv6 IP addresses! 🙂
You’re awared that you make yourself looking like buffoon with those statements and that you lied to us, correct?
I don’t care how much do you pay for IPv4, it’s not my business and it’s not connected with promised IPv6 when it will be available… Involving IPv4 issue is ordinary gimmick to get some extra money from us and it’s not related to promised IPv6 in any way. This what you’re doing now is ordinary extortion!
–
“We will release IPv6 to all our customers (current and new) once we are ready to provide this feature” – posted by NordicVPS at lowendbox October 3, 2010
–
“We are working to expand IPv6 to all nodes and once its ready you will get 4 – 8 free IPv6 IPs” – posted by NordicVPS in support ticket to me in Nov. 2010
And now you want me to pay more for those promised “4 – 8 free IPv6 IPs” or cripple my vps with removing ipv4… What a liar…
“With the expansion of IPv6, we hope old IPv4 will become obsolete so we can avoid these fees”
—
Sure you do… but not with extortion but with giving them to customers as you said before.. With your aproach you don’t contribute to expansion of IPv6 but rather opposite. For something what everyone give for free if it have available you want to squeeze some extra money from us disregarding the fact that you said that IPv6 will be for free…
Let them enable TUN/TAP and netadmin, use the a little program called ‘tb-tun’ (google it, its on google code page). And get an ipv6 range with hurricane electric or so = free. I pay 35 dollar/year, if I don’t get IPv6 for free with my vps provider, I will get it by myself with SixXS or Hurricane.
A tip! do your math beforehand not afterwards.
We have been tricked to prepay for whole year!!! NordicVPS can we get prorated refund as you’re not capable to offer us IPv6 free od charge even now when it’s available?
@Spirit Can you submit a ticket please?
This guy is a crook and liar.
Germany server was down so long without any warning or explanation, or just simple sorry statement.
Most of the tickets were sitting more than two months.
I hope you are happy with your new reliable host 🙂
I personally, can’t complain. My VPS in Germany, has been very stable, sometimes high I/O, but not very notable.
I has been rebooted 1 time since November. Support really sucked! However, last weeks it has been approved.
(WHERE IS GERNANY?)
Dear
We will be migrating all OpenVZ customers the new node servers once they are delivered 🙂
The new node servers are powered by i7-980X Extreme Edition and Hardware RAID10 for high performance.
(Current servers are either i7-975 Extreme Ed or i7 920 with RAID1 or RAID10)
VPS Migration
The migration of your VPS will be done as smooth as possible.
VPS will be shutdown and sync’ed to the new node and you will get a new IP!
IMPORTANT
New IP’s — You will get new IPv4
IPv6 — You will get new set of IPv6’s, we will assign 2 for free, more on request
Servers are still in Gernany, Same Datacenter
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Hexa-core processor Intel® Core™ i7-980X Extreme Edition:
3.33 GHz core speed
Up to 3.6 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
6 cores and 12 processing threads with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

This was from few days ago. Some people (as reported on wht) have vpses down 11 days already without any single reponse on their tickets. This nordicvps screw-up is every day closer to dead pool.
That is not all:

I have two VPS there. In past month i had about 40% uptime. But that is not uptime as expected, they crippled all VPSs on german nodes (they cant pay for servers so they go to few bigger). VPS’s work with one CPU Core at 800mhz because nodes are overcrowded. With that VPS u can’t do anything except for blog… Recently i moved customers to other server and wanted to use vps as seedbox (network is still good 1gbps), but when i do reinstall no vps can boot (but i can ping ip!?). Support don’t respond except for uniform messages like “we are moving VPS to other node”, “Moving failed, expect downtime”… So far they moved mu VPS THREE TIMES (ovz02, ovz03, vm03, vm09). Admin it is time for dead pool… They took our money and when bills came they are nowhere to be found… I lost 70$ with this b-e-e-p company…
Their website is still up. (Folks mention in a couple of places in that WHT thread that it was down.)
Their twitter account is an interesting read. More reboot and down twits than anything else.
Gotta admit that if I saw that, I would have been running.
and that is only reboots they planed. One one occasion i counted 67 reboots in one week…
Just curious. How are you counting reboots?
That’s only part of it. They don’t post their downtimes anymore as they are regular.
in stats u can see hole in memory graph
and i have monitoring tool that ping in 1 min intervals
That could be for a lot of different things. Network outages, routing issues, the phase of the moon, etc.
Doesn;t sound good though.
Reboot takes about 6 min on this ,as they seed, raid 10 hard drives, with ,as they seed, highend 800mhz (worst than my phone) processor…
800mhz of an i7 cpu isn’t bad for $1.25 or $1.50 a month and
i’m sure its quite a bit more powerful than your phone.
They never promised access to the full speed of all cores (and for the price
you paid you shouldn’t have expected it.)
All that I will agree with you on is that the service has been crap
lately and there has been a ton of downtime.
As far as I know they did promise fair share of the CPU’s and there was no warning/etc of the CPU caps, they simply went into place.
I don’t think it’s the 128MB people that are saying much but rather the people that bought into bigger plans and still suffer the same caps.

Fair Share is not 800Mhz. It is maybe faster than phone but try hosting 30 not static websites… I would never paid for that shit. When i did it was 2x 2.7ghz! and 35$ is not that small amount, and i had two…
You should not expect much from a budget VPS.
We had to do a hard reset on the CPU during the migrations.
As already notified, customers on VMxx nodes will be upgraded fairly soon!
Customers with VPS plans above OVZ512 should already enjoy full speed @ 3.33+ Ghz
How can you even said that… People are reading this, and who will buy bigger plan when u treat us like garbage. We didn’t make those plans, u did, so do your job, nothing more. When u are there can u fix our VPSs so that we have what we PAID for. 70$ is a lot of money for me esspecialy to trow away…
I dropped you an email. Please could I ask for an ack that you received it
If its by a couple months ago, yes I believe it was received..
If you sent one recently then no.
