Thanks to Luke who notified us about their plan changes. Prgmr.com has released their new Xen VPS plans. The disk space and monthly data transfer amount has shrinked for their $5/month 64MB VPS. However for an extra dollar per month, you can get:
- 128MB memory
- 3GB storage
- 20GB/month data transfer
- CentOS 5 or Debian 4
Their new server seems to be at Fremont with HE.net (one of my favourite DC). The amount of data per month is a bit limiting although the overage is at only 10 cents/GB. As the motto of Prgmr.com is “We don’t assume you are stupid.”, this is a strictly unmanaged service.
Update: Got an email from Luke @ Prgmr.com, and he said that you can get a 256MB Xen VPS for $6.40/month if you prepay for 12 months, which would fit in our criteria of a “low end box”. And you get 256MB dedicated memory, 6GB storage and 40GB/month data transfer.

I host this website with them, it’s good. On their $6 128mb plan. Just done a load test, it can handle up to 40 concurrent visitors fine on a default mysql/apache install on CentOS, using wordpress with a whole bunch of plugins. going to play with some monitoring tools and see what the bottleneck is, I should be able to increase that drastically with some configuration.
I’d recommend this service.
no such word as “shrinked”.
