Welcome, OMC Cloud!

This is the first time we’ve featured them but they’re hardly new to the hosting industry.

OMC Cloud has been running infrastructure since 1995, which makes us older than most of the companies your readers will have used. Today we operate cloud servers across 25 data centers in Israel, Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia, and our Israeli sites are the part of our footprint your readers are least likely to have tried – it is an uncommon region for low-end hosting. We sell VPS, GPU servers, dedicated servers, object storage, cloud backup, CDN and load balancers, all from one console at console.omc.cloud. Servers are configured per resource instead of sold in fixed tiers, so a customer picks the exact vCPU, RAM and storage they want rather than paying for a bundle that only half fits. Compute runs on Intel Xeon Platinum / Cascade Lake at 2.7GHz+ with NVMe storage throughout, on KVM virtualization. Billing is hourly and calculated per second, so a server that runs for one afternoon costs one afternoon. Support is staffed 24/7 by engineers who run the platform themselves rather than an outsourced first line. We also operate a white-label reseller program for agencies and IT providers who resell under their own brand.

They’ve got a cool deal for our readers:

• 30 days free with up to $199 in credit, no credit card required – exclusive for LowEndBox readers!
• Data centers in Israel, a region rarely covered in low-end hosting – plus 24 others in America, Europe, and Asia!
• Per-second billing and per-resource configuration rather than fixed tiers
• 24/7 support from the engineers who actually run the platform

Learn more on their web site, and be sure as always to check the TOS.  They accept credit cards and PayPal.
