LowEndBox - Cheap VPS, Hosting and Dedicated Server Deals

PlusHosted - 3.15 GBP 128MB Xen VPS

Updated February 2011: IP is no longer resolving since 16 February. Going to dead pool this month.

PlusHosted Via this WHT offer. PlusHosted has released their VPS packages recently, and is now running a 25% off promotion. Get the recurring discount when you use the promo code November2010. Their “Level 1” package then comes down to 3.15 GBP/month (~USD$5). Sign up link with promo code.

  • 128MB memory
  • 10GB storage
  • 250GB/month data transfer
  • Xen
  • Free AlphaSSL certificate

Servers in Chicago. Have to admit that it is one of the least informative offer on WHT — no mention of virtualization technology at all. I said that it is “Xen” as an “educated guess”, as it only supports up to Ubuntu 9(.04) so possibly they are running Xen PV on CentOS 5 boxes. The price would be too expensive for an OpenVZ box anyway. No test IP but I am guessing SingleHop. Free SSL certificate can be attractive, but those are at $10/Year a pop so not big deal.

Domain has been around since April this year, owned by an UK guy who runs RouteNinetyFour.com (a design shop since 2009).

  1. Does the banner remind anyone else of GoatCX?

    Looks like a pretty decent deal…!

    A little concerned though – shouldn’t it read Dedicated RAM instead of CPU on the “VPS-Packages” page?

  4. Free domain name as well. Granted those are just $10 a year or so like the ssl cert but you don’t see that that often on this level.

    Note that Free SSL Cert is only for 1 year.

    If you just need cheap domain, register *.INFO which is 1.99/year or 3.99/year depend on the company. Godaddy offer 1.99/year for .INFO.
