Here comes another sweet from another fine provider in UK. James from QualityServers emailed me about some up to date details regarding their “Eliminator” plan, which can be found on this WHT post. Same offer at the same price — £4/month (~USD$6.50). Again, EU/UK consumers have to pay VAT.
- 600MB guaranteed/1200MB burstable memory
- 40GB storage
- 1TB/month data transfer on 1Gbps port
- 1x IPv4 + 16x IPv6 (UK only)
- 15GB offsite backup space
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers in either Scranton PA (BurstNET, test IP: 64.191.80.200, sign up link) or Manchester UK (Burst, test IP: 217.114.62.48, sign up link). The plans are fully managed, which you can read about what they offer here. If you pay annually and use promo code 10eliminator you can also get 10% off recurring discount.
They have already been nominated for this quarter and looks like there are quite a few happy souls with them.

Just to clarify, the prices listed include VAT where applicable, so there is nothing extra to pay.
Also, IPv6 is now available at both locations.
Test IP for US location is down, 100% package lost: http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=64.191.80.200&c=&s=ping%21
Sorry, try it now.
No burstable memory ?
600MB burstable memory on OpenVZ and 600MB SWAP on Xen
So 19% off for non EU if it’s included?
Everyone pays the listed price, we just pay the VAT for people in the EU :)
I think there is a mistake in the post, it says 1x IPv6 + 16x IPv6 (UK only), the first IPv6 should be IPv4?
Yes that’s right
“the plans are fully managed” …
Have anyone tried the “fully managed” part from the last time? Are they really fully managed?
I also would like to know..
A lot of people have been asking this, so I’ve made a list:
https://www.qualityservers.co.uk/cp/kayako/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/6/0/what-does-vps-management-include
is the management included with all the plans or only when you order cPanel?
It’s included in all plans.
Great, thanks for the explanation!
I am on the Eliminator UK plan (XEN instead of OpenVZ which cost me 5.75 pounds per month) and its running smoothly. No issues. Decent support and the Kent Science Park DC I am in, has excellent connectivity to Asia, everyone is 200ms+ but Kent DC is 150ms flat
Thanks for the great offer
I have the USA OpenVZ Eliminator (same plan as in this offer) and everything is smooth too.
Great network and uptime; I/O: 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 13.4012 s, 80.1 MB/s
haven’t tested support yet.
@asim
how is I/O on uk xen ?
Some issue with IO today, else its normally around 70MB/sec+
Network is pretty good
so.. no v6 for US DC? :(
Yes there is, we’ve just rolled it out.
Even though they promised a 14-day money-back guarantee, I still don’t receive any reply regarding my refund request.
Please let me know your ticket number.
Ticket ID: XCJ-394-57583
I was planning to set up a VPN service for my friends because the government of my country recently prohibits us to visit certain websites but my VPN on your VPS has been too slow for our daily use.
Refunded
Fast response from James, their service/server was good but I had too high pings. Thumbs up!
hello,
what is the dedictaed and what burst ram value?
600MB dedicated + 600MB burst
All plans.
“Third party scripts (by best endeavour)”
So you would install things like open vpn?
Sure.
Support was very helpfull, i ordered the wrong location and their livechat solved the problem within a few seconds.
Thanks :)
Has anybody experienced any email issues with this company? I’m thinking of signing up; been having my emails go to spam boxes on different vps recently.
do we have full root access for this vps?
Yes, that is the idea of a VPS =P
Hey just wondering, are we allowed to install lighttpd and PostgreSql?
With root account, you are allowed to do anything that is not explicitly forbidden in their terms and conditions.
Until when is the promo? If I am satisfied, can I upgrade my subscription to anual with the discount? Thanks!
Also just to clear, this £4/month fully managed? Thanks!
No, the promotion is only lasting a few days.
Yes, that’s right.
After long 27 days uptime, now it’s back on 15 hours :(
27 days is not too impressive. My laptop that I use as a minecraft server has been up 22 days.
ye it’s not impressive, but i wanted more idk why it got restarted ;), my computer have uptime almost 5month ;)
Some VPSs got locked up and it was the only way to restore access. The reboot only took 5 minutes..
That can’t be good for your laptop. Get a VPS instead!
I ordered a UK VPS but didn’t get 15GB offsite backup space.
Can’t find the ipv6 aswell, but I’m less concerned about that.
for ipv6 contact support, same with backup ;).
Any chance of getting extra IPv4 addresses on these plans, out of interest?
£1 per month each with valid justification.
My current VPN provider is having problems, I am not very good with linux but for this price completely managed i couldn’t refuse. I was told by james that they could install openvpn for me so there was no way i could refuse it now. Setup was intent and have just submited a ticket for openvpn.
A bit late this time, but this is my review for the Eliminator openVZ servers:
http://www.96mb.com/96mb-low-end-vps-review-part-x-qualityservers/
I think is good, but no for my future cpu needs. I tried their plan and requested the money back guarantee.
I was in a i7 2600 box. Very fast, but their scheduling, after some cpu usage throttles you very hard. Also, like the 3rd or 4th day I got very slow performance in general, and finally I requested my money.
Interesting, I am not sure if the CPU was throttled on my VPS, which appears to be not the case. As for slow performance, I did not notice any myself, perhaps it is one of the good node/bad node story? In any case, I think it is definitely a lot of work if James is really running a one-man show and providing “full management” (no matter what it means), so I really think it is more like a learning machine for beginners than a production box for lots of serious heavy-lifting.
Servers in either Scranton PA (BurstNET, test IP: 64.191.80.200, sign up link) or Manchester UK (Burst, test IP: 217.114.62.48, sign up link).
What does this mean? They are BurstNET reseller?
Hi,
We’re not a reseller. We have our own racks with Burst in the UK and dedicated servers with them in the USA.
Client area password sent via email after order completion :\
After having the VPS for little under a week now I am very happy decent speeds and they even set up OpenVpn within 30 minutes of opening a ticket. They even helped me set up the password for it [ I am derp with linux] Cant complain. No downtime I am aware of :D With defo renew if it stays like this.
Have had a Xen Eliminator Package from Quality Servers. It does exactly what it does on the tin. This is one quality server. I had an impressive setup time and given real honest advice as to what vps would be best for me. Since then I have receive top notch support, through tickets/live chat and their excellent forum (www.qualityservers.com/forum). I have been so pleased with my plan I have decided to double my specifications next month!
A fuller review can be found here: http://www.qualityservers.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/57-my-vps-experiences/
I have had my VPS for just under a month now so please take this as a snapshop of my initial VPS experiences with QualityServers.
I was initially attracted to a VPS with QualityServers due to their appearance on LEB. I was looking for a VPS to trial a few concepts before moving them to dedicated.
Before purchasing I spoke with James via livechat who gave me some advice over what VPS to choose. I then placed the order and the VPS was set up almost immediately. The welcome emails I received gave me all the information I needed and directed me to these forums (which by the way I think are excellent and should be used more). I logged into my VPS and started playing.
The SolusVM control panel offers great control over my VPS and is very straightforward to use. I have also had excellent experiences with support when needed. I have raised a couple of tickets all of which have been answered within minutes, even when the problem was of my doing!
Performance has been superb for a relatively tiny VPS. Disk IO and network are all more than acceptable for the price that I am paying.
I have been so happy with the service I have received this month that I decided to continue my service with QS and upgrade my package. My upgrade was activated immediately and my server was migrated to a new node. James asked me when I would like my server migrated and explained how long it was expected this migration would take. Throughout the migration I was provided with regular status updates and a final message to let me know the server was ready for use.
I would recommend QS to anyone who is looking for a VPS and look forward in the future to expanding my custom with them.
Definitely try to visit their forums at: http://www.qualityservers.co.uk/forum/
I asked this question on the older thread (by mistake), so I’ll ask here again:
Is Gentoo available?
Thanks!
AFAIK, Gentoo isn’t available with the majority of providers. Compiling everything isn’t good for a shared environment.
But maybe you can go to their forum or contact them via email or something.
Hi,
Yes on Xen only: http://www.qualityservers.co.uk/premium-xen-vps/addons/
You can pick up a Xen eliminator here: https://www.qualityservers.co.uk/cp/cart.php?gid=31
QS is absolutely fantastic.
The support is lightning fast ( I’ve submitted 3 tickets at different times of the day and they have all been responded to within 5 minutes ). I initially ordered one VPS, but after the brilliant specs and service, i ended up ordering two by the end of the night ( One in the UK/ one in the usa). Two thumbs to James and the team at QualityServers, keep it up !
and again a downtime for more then 12 hours
james whats ghoing on??
Signed up for the OpenVZ service in Scranton on the 7th and seems to be pretty good so far. Not played with it much yet but its not gone down so far!
Would be good to have a Ubuntu 10.04 minimal or LAMP image available James!
Just to add my comments on the deals from qualityservers, I ordered a VPS switched to a reseller as it better suited me. James did it without question, I have always ordered hosting from big names in the business usually ending up on a crappy US server shared with 1000 other sites. For the same price I have a lightning fast UK server with great support. Thumbs up from me.
Signed up for a UK Xen Eliminator vps yesterday.
Received all the information in minutes.
I’m now waiting for my tickets being solved. Only ipv6 connectivity is working at the moment.
I/O is rather slow, can not see the 70+mb/s as stated above by some customers.
Working fine now!
Great support from James.
Almost same result as yours and also Eliminator vps plan. What’s your node? That’s vz1uk.
And that’s node vz2uk.
Those results aren’t something to bragging with…
vz2uk can be better on moments – up to 45 MB/s while vz1uk seems constantly around 20 MB/s.
I’m on node xm11 (I have the Xen Eliminator vps plan)
I hope disk performance will be much better in the near future…
See the thread on our forum about this.
I got an eliminator xen uk too, It’s like wading through treacle, extremely slow response to all shell commands. Got a feeble 11.7MB/s on the same as above. Ok, it’s cheap, but then I’ve had $15 a year throwaway trash vps that is far more responsive.
Did you open a ticket before posting that?
In fact I’m going to post this publicly:
http://www.qualityservers.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/88-vps-io-throughput-low/
If your VPS is slow for you running commands it is more than likely to do with your distance/routing to the server. Please contact us with a traceroute so we can check it out as you may be better off with a USA Eliminator.
I didn’t open a ticket. I don’t have issues with other vps I have from other uk providers to my uk ISP. Traceroute shows that from vps->entry to ISP network is 8x slower than other uk vps I have (some in london some in manchester) and is slightly slower than a german vps I have too. I’m not particularly fussed about the io benchmark, as you point out it doesn’t mean that much (having said that the same test on a more upmarket xen uk vps was 4x faster). I tried tunnelling via a server with extremely good gigabit connect in telecity and there’s no difference, don’t think this is a routing issue.
I signed up for this deal and everything seemed great at first – fast setup, fast support, great price, reasonable speed. A month later the server crashed and lost all my data – no backups ! Nice touch for a ‘professional’ hosting company.
Luckily, at that stage I hadn’t lost that much so I recreated my server. James apologised and gave us all a free couple of months and promised to setup a backup solution. Everything was fine for 3 weeks and then bang it goes again. This time I lost a lot more and had to recreate from scratch and unfortunately no backup system was yet in place. Now 4 months later, it’s gone again and guess what – still no backups.
You can’t run a hosting business like this – it’s unprofessional. Three total wipeouts in 6 months, no backups. I work in IT and RAID failures are a very rare thing – what must you be doing to get 3 in 6 months.
You would think after the second time you would crate a backup solution your self…
