Marc, from PhoenixVPS, has sent us in four different VPS plans located at the PhoenixNAP datacenter in Phoenix, Arizona.
Business VPS 256 (Xen)
| Business VPS 512 (Xen)
|
PhoenixVPS were formerly known as VPS Node Box (blog post), who appeared on LowEndBox twice before. Reviews on those past threads have normally been good, but over the past few days a few negative reviews have appeared. In my opinion, these reviews were unfair as PhoenixVPS suffered a problem with their payment process. So a few customers overreacted. PhoenixVPS have been a registered business in North Carolina since April 20th 2010. It is also worth noting that SWAP is enabled and that IPv6 addresses can be allocated on request.
Enterprise EXVPS 512 (Xen)
| Enterprise KVPS 512 (KVM)

how good is the ddos protection ?
Attacks are mitigated at the network level, so they won’t reach your VPS. Largest attack that we ever had against a customer was 10.58 Gbps back in March and it was successfully mitigated with no downtime for the customer.
interesting… what if the attack continues? will the customer have to pay extra? im sure there has to be a point where you get fed up with it?
also what locations have this feature?
thank u
also any yearly plans with the protection?
The 256MB Xen plan is within LEB guidelines, it costs around $40 per year.
All of our plans benefit from DDOS protection, regardless of size.
40/yr that is with ddos protection already?
@jcaleb – $40 / year with DDoS protection :)
good price boss
Marc is a good guy and trustworthy
Thank you for the support and positive comments :-) Let me know if you ever need anything.
Kind regards,
Marc
Garbage, garbage quality, please do not shopping.
Would you please post the IP address for the VPS that you have with us to substantiate your claims?

Please provide an IP address for your VPS as proof that you are hosting with.
If I post the IP, I guarantee you will delete the VPS and my account.
Is this the best excuse that you can come up with not to post your IP? I just want confirmation that you are hosting with us.
Can you not see host names easily on xen? This one would be “fyy.”
He’s not hosting with us.

From china aliyun cloudhosting, very fast!
I’m curious about the low port speeds. Any particular reason?
They are dedicated ports, not shared ports. This way each customer is guaranteed a certain port speed. Sure, it sounds cool to advertise a 1Gbit shared port, however in practice some customers will get more and some less.
So on the $15/m vps its fully dedicated 100mbit? Should make it 33TB and call it unmetered, then and people will go nuts over it :)
Would it be possible to install centos6 32bit on your 256 MB plan?
Yes, absolutely, both on KVM and Xen :)
Always no reply by my several times consult?
Chinese Attack :D
I know but we are dealing with the attack. Very classy I might add.
Is there a delay in setting up new orders?
我只想说 去你老母的。
我只想说 去你老母的。 -> From Google Translate: I just want to say to your mother.
Seriously?
叼佢老母啦，佢翻译唔倒~
You are not doing your country any services by misbehaving like this. Most customers from China are good, decent people, however there are always a few rotten apples that can spoil the entire barrel.
You have tried to cross post on several forums, you have posted fake benchmarks, you have performed several DDoS attacks yesterday against a few of our nodes and now you resorted to publicly cursing us out.
If anyone that comes across this is wondering why this is posted here, it is because we have terminated a Mr. Huang ZhiCheng aka. “roiz” from YiChang, CN for filing false chargebacks and abusive behavior. I believe that there is a point where it is not okay anymore to harass and try to publicly humiliate a hosting provider just because that hosting provider didn’t let you do what you wanted.
@Marc M. Could you tell me how do you get IPv6 allocation please?
I’m hosting directly with securedservers but they tell me they wont provide IPv6.
Can you KVM mount own ISO file?
It depends on what you want to mount. For example we don’t support Windows at all.
Kind regards,
Marc
Hi Marc,
I sent a question through your portal yesterday but received no response. I wanted to know if you charge for data transfer between multiple VPSes. Also, do you charge for inbound data transfer?
I am appologize for that. Do you happen to have a ticket number? If so, please email it to me directly at marcm_at_phoenixvps.com
Or just email me the question and I’ll reply.
Kind regards,
Marc
Hey, I just want to say that I’ve been hosting with PhoenixVPS for the last 2 months and I’m very satisfied with the performance and reliability so far. No downtimes and really stable performance.
Any plans for openvz?
Yes, we do have plans for OpenVZ, however we want to do it right ;-)
Thanks , will they offer the same DDOSs protection?
assumes that you have 100 mbit dedicated to doing a test does not give not more than 8 80 if not 8
does not give me or even 80 /mbps gives me 8 /mbps de connexion
Can you please elaborate on this?
Don’t let the lower price intimidate you. I just signed up on a plan, and out of the gate, these guys are awesome. The server setup was practically instant. Too bad it’s after midnight where I am or I would start setting the server up :)
I filed a quick ticket at onset because I goofed something up, and I was surprised at how ridiculously fast Marc responded. Kudos!
I have to say, I will be glad to move to PhoenixVPS as my new host. Very clean and polished!
I have an invoice (3464) with the seller. I submitted a ticket to billing support (PHX514060EXN) on 9/9/2013, advising that the payment went through, but it is not reflecting as PAID. Without responding to the support ticket, the seller CLOSED the ticket, and I responded on 9/11 asking why no response. I then once again noticed that it was CLOSED AGAIN, with no responses, and I reopened it again. I reopened it again TODAY.
Because they have twice closed this ticket (and others in the past) without any response, I have submitted a Paypal dispute for services not rendered, since it has been a while since I had notified them that THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY.
This has also happened to me today. I submitted a paypal payment for a new VPS. Paypal said that the payment was made but the according to Pheonix VPS’s cPanel, the payment was marked as UNPAID.
I submitted a ticket, and it has been 18 hours with no response. I tried calling their # to see if there was any response, all I got as an IVR. I’ll file a dispute with Paypal and credit card company if I don’t hear by Monday.
Whoops. See my post below. I didn’t reply in the right place ;)
Hi Ron,
I just now closed the PayPal dispute. Marc stepped in and resolved it. While it leaves a VERY bad taste when for the third time, tickets were closed without a response, the issue is now ultimately resolved.
My thought is, maybe something with the auto-pay feature in Paypal is messing up the process. That said, I am willing to help Marc out, be a beta tester etc., if he needs any help to get the root cause taken care of.
Make sure you submit a billing ticket to Marc, and keep reopening it if it’s closing out on you, and he will see it. I also asked if maybe something is automatically closing it. If there is, I might can give him some pointers on how to disable auto-closes.
Marc: If there is anything at all that I can do, let me know. Six Sigma guy here, so I’m well-skilled at hunting down issue root causes.
Have a good day!
