LowEndBox - Cheap VPS, Hosting and Dedicated Server Deals

OneNetwork - $4.95 128MB Xen VPS

Updated May 2010 — OneNetwork.net is now out of business.

OneNetwork Via this WHT offer. OneNetwork has its domain registered since 1997 (same as the starting year of its copyright text at the bottom of its website), and is self-claimed #1 in VPS hosting. Its Xen VPS packages start from $4.95/month.

  • 128MB memory/256MB swap
  • 12GB storage
  • 150GB/month data transfer

No hint on where their servers are, although their website is with FDCServer in Denver CO. Their DNS is totally stuffed. Check this out.

$ host onenetwork.net
onenetwork.net          A       76.73.18.179
$ host -t ns onenetwork.net
onenetwork.net          NS      localhost.localdomain

Yeah right. After you have queried their NS records you basically have stuffed your local resolver and you can’t query any of their records anymore until TTL expires. I can’t believe that it is from a 13 year old company.

From WHOIS records the domain belongs to Kolap Inc, and Wayback Machine has given us how their website has developed — even the latest copy from 2007 has nothing to do with web hosting. While both Kolap.com and OneNetwork.net have been registered for many years, that certainly does not represent how long have they been in the hosting industry.

  6. That’s kind of a horrible way to shut down?…

    You would think that a domain that is 12 years old would be operated with some professionalism but who knows.

    That’s….Yeah… Anyways :D

    By the way, I love the broken English — “We apoligy” plus their previous post here. Either a poorly educated teenager or a foreigner with bad English skills :)

    If you can’t get the grammar right at least try to get spelling/capitalization right. Nearly every program does that for your these days, for god sakes.

  11. @Mudel, not cool. Not everybody has English as their first language. Also not everybody can use a keyword as well as you can. Its one thing to point out mistakes on a site but you go beyond that.

    @Hasanul do you still have the VPS? As noted up above the company is out of business. Care to clarify how you still have your system?

    @drmike – Sorry, but if you’re going to sell service to English speaking customers then I expect you to at least try to use spell checker.

    @drmike: No, I just use their service for a month. I cancelled my service about 3 days before they gone.

  14. @Mudel, and that’s fine but there’s a professional way of dealing with it and a “Hi, I’m going to act like a 12 year old” method of approaching an issue.

    I’d like to think we’re all professional around here.

    @ drmike – I honestly don’t think it matters at this point.

    When a company goes tits up without warning, runs off with former customer’s money and data, and leaves a poorly written message on their site, I believe I’m well within my rights to scrutinize their English.

    Normally when I see a mistake a host’s website I kindly point out to the webmaster “hey, you should fix that” (and they’re almost always grateful for the advice), but who cares when the company has left their customers high and dry.

    But if it matters to you, I apologize if I came off as a 12 year old ;)
