Jeff, from QuickPacket, recently contacted us to get this dedicated server offer featured. QuickPacket have been featured on LowEndBox a few times before and are active on LowEndTalk.

QuickPacket was founded in 2003 and offers dedicated servers, co-location, virtual private servers, Idera/R1Soft data backup and shared/reseller virtual hosting from Atlanta, GA and Las Vegas, NV. We have featured them as a vps provider several times before. Servers are billed pro-rata and can be customised whilst ordering. For example, you can upgrade to 20 TB / 1 Gbps port for $10 more. Reviews on their last LEB post are mixed. I found this review from February on LET.
QuickPacket accept payments by VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Google Checkout, and PayPal. Servers are typically setup within one business day. The servers are already racked and ready, but depending on order volume it may take longer. They do not allow Spam/Bulk Mail, Warez, IRC, and TOR. For more information, their Terms of Service / Acceptable Use Policy is located here.
Network Information:
QuickPacket operates their own network on AS46261. Their network providers include nLayer, Inteliquent (Tinet), and Cogent. Servers will be located at the 55 Marietta datacenter in Atlanta, GA.

so cheap ! any raid for it ? how much if we add a more disk for raid ?
The prices for additional drives are listed on the order form. We can do software RAID in Linux, or the system does include LSI SAS1064E integrated RAID that we can setup for you if you prefer. Thanks for your interest!
why not total is $58.05 USD?
” Servers are billed pro-rata” The $9 is from the remaining time of march + april.
The servers are pro-rated to the first day of the month, so what you are paying for today is the remainder of March plus the full month of April.
Yeah, these kinds of offers worked so well last time. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.
Would you please explain what you mean?
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/too+good+to+be+true
He’s asking about the first part, not the second.
I know what that means. I was asking what he means about “these kinds of offers…”
He likely meant that your offer might be a fraud (too cheap) because we had similar offers here already which then disappeared quickly after they gained enough money from their customers no offence though it’s just a guess of what he meant!
Does say.. commercialmedia ring any bells?
QuickPacket are more established.
Give them a try before you judge a book by it’s cover.
We are not related to CommercialMedia. We have many happy customers, as you can see in this thread. We’ve added quite a few more today through this offer (thanks LEB).
These guys are legit and have been around for quite some time.
Francisco
Thanks Francisco.
As a client of quickpacket and a provider myself, I can assure you that you need to press order now and think later ;)
I have had a couple of VPS through QPS the last couple of years, and currently have a dedicated with QPS at very similar specs to this offer. I am happy with the performance of the machine and the speed of the network — also have had friendly/honest communication with support for any questions or concerns I have had, which have been minimal. Overall, I recommend QPS if your in need of a dedicated server.
Thanks Jarland, Pubcrawler and Dano for the kind words.
Vps customer only, but top stuff, network is great.
Thanks abdi.
I can/will vouch for QuickPacket.
Been a customer in the past.
They are legitimate. Very on top of things. Always helpful and professional.
Good offer. Better set a sales limit or droves of buyer are going to push this into backorder and issues though.
We have a limit on the number of orders allowed. We’re not going to allow this to run into backorder.
As Jarland said. Just order, QuickPacket are excellent!
Thanks Ashley.
Does this offer include ipmi+ip kvm like the other dedicated servers? Also, would it be possible to ship some extra hard drives to be installed, or do they have to be purchased from you soley?
Yes, it includes a dedicated KVM over IP / IPMI. We do not allow outside hardware. Thanks for your interest.
Damn, that IS a nice offer!
Thanks!
I have the exact same setup plus gigabit with @qps in Atlanta and LOVE the service. I do pay $70/mo though…any way to adjust my bill to match this offer? :) :)
If you want to add a second server, you can get this price. The promotion is only for new customers or additional servers for existing customers. Liam accidentally left that out of the original post and I requested that he edit it to add it in.
I understand.
I have being using QPS for close/just over a month now,
I have to say I don’t know the names of people there as it seems to be ‘Technical Support’ as the user on WHMCS and QPS on Skype, but overall the network they run is nice.
They are the only provider I am aware of that is offering a 1Gbit port with 10TB of bandwidth for $40 on a different deal.
Can you install VMware ESXi 5.1 in hardware RAID-1 (provided I order a 2nd 1TB disk)? IPv6 available ?
We do not guarantee compatibility with VMWare, but I believe it will work. The system includes LSI SAS1064E RAID, which may work with VMWare, but we have not tested it. You can install it with the included dedicated KVM over IP if you would like.
We do not have IPv6 available yet, but it is coming soon. Our network is ready, but we have some testing left to complete. Thanks for your interest.
The LSI Raid they mentioned is within the compatibility list.
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/vcl/result.php?search=LSI+1064E+Pci-Express+card+configured+in+Raid1&searchCategory=IO+Devices
But you might need to google if there are potential Network driver issues with version 5.1.
We tested this config (RAID 1 through the SAS1064E with VMWare) and I/O performance is not good, so we do not recommend it.
Software RAID works great, if you can use a Linux-based OS that supports it.
ESX really requires cache and preferably a BBU for even moderate writes. A $25 card like the HP P400 would even work.
Is there an RTO option like dacentec offers?
We do not offer rent to own servers at this time. Thanks for your interest.
Are these on Dell cs24-sc?
Yes.
Could I load up proxmox? Are they IP prices on the order page the same as add/on IP prices?
Yes, we can load Proxmox. Just put it in the order comments. Additional IPs are typically $0.50 per IP per month in standard CIDR blocks. Justification is required. Thanks!
I’m very concerned about IPV6. After your network supports IPv6, will you provide free ipv6 addresses for existing customers?
XenServr 6.1 available?
Yes, IPv6 will be free.
XenServer 6.1 is not supported, but I believe it will work. We can try to load it for you, or you can do it using the included KVM over IP. If you’d like to have us load it, please put it in the comments section of the order.
I already have one. Their network is fantastic and the servers are awesome! Keep up the good work Quickpacket!
Thanks Don!
Quickpacket is very good, responsible and positive.
Thanks!
I’m having a vps from QuickPacket, but not a Dedi :D
But that just it, it works very nice :)
No problem since the first time I bought it.
Thanks for your business!
This is my friend that I told you Last night :) btw thx you that you fix it my order (fraud) status and get VPS from you :)
Quickpacket is good,and the dedicated server is cheap.
Thanks :)
@Liam, I guess you should tag quickpacket.com instead. So we can get the previous listings easily.
Also, link within the body should point to http://www.lowendbox.com/tag/quickpacket-com/
Oops! Fixed.
Any chance of ESXi 5 being added an OS option
If you ask us to load ESXi 5 in the order comments, we can load it for you, but we do not offer support for it.
Thanks, working great.
Do you have a speedtest for your location(s)? Can we choose the Las Vegas location or only Atlanta?
This offer is for Atlanta only. Please contact us by opening a sales ticket https://www.quickpacket.com/billing/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=2 and we’ll provide speed test links. Thanks for your interest!
Speaking form the VPS side of the house I can say I have been a happy customer over a little over a year at this point. On extremely rare occasions when there has been a hiccup (For instance they handled a DDOS 2 days ago quite efficiently, performance was only sporadic for an hour or two then back to more of the same stable service). One of my VPS servers was the unfortunate victim of a DDOS attack directly a few months ago and were quick to null route everything at my request.
All in all an excellent reasonably priced host. I wish I could justify a dedicated box with them, but unfortunately it just isn’t in the budget right now :-)
Thanks for your business, Ryan.
I just get banned from QuickPacket after ordering vps with my home ip and verified paypal. I hope this issue can be resolve.
Same with me last night and the issue resolved after talk with chat online :)
My account already deleted and they already refund me. Still negotiating with them via email. Not sure what kind of fraud alert they use because i never have a problem with another vps provider.
There is a report from another provider that you stole IP addresses from other VPS customers and then used them to launch attacks. We’re declining to offer you service at this time and we issued a full refund. Sorry, but we are not going to risk having that type of activity on our network.
Why you the only provider that get that information? I don’t doubt you, but i never have problem with another provider. List provider i’ve been with. http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/240769#Comment_240769
@qps he contacted me and I looked and it was not him that was doing. He had the ip of the abuser before the abuser had the account from what I can tell. We always put down admin notes just in case FR ever died and there are none on his account.
Thansk Corey for clarifying. :D
The user contacted the provider who made the report and they removed the report. We have removed the ban from our services.
Thank you qps. :D
no irc? :(
IRC is not permitted. Sorry, but in the past we’ve run into large DDoS problems from people running IRC.
Received my box about 6 hours ago (after registering late last night). Looks good so far, IPMI access is very well received.
Will try it out!
Yes would like to know more, but tired to send a message on your site i kept getting error no message entered?? phil
Some non-alphanumeric characters are not permitted in the ticketing system. You can also PM me on LET – username: qps – if needed. Thanks
Any ETA for IPv6?
Not a specific timeframe yet, but it is on the top of our list for completion.
Got mine online last night, and really it is top notch.
Delivered as promised. Paid the extra $10 for a Gbit port and their support is really fast to respond.
Super satisfied customer!
Thanks for your business!
Thanks for all of the orders thus far. We are nearly out of stock on these servers.
You are in fact now out of stock…
Yes, we are. I’ll post here if we have any more become available.
VPS or Dedicated?
This offer is for a dedicated server.
Ordered an Box, Lets see what happen :D
Will come back with an review :D
Any left tried ordering one and had out of stock?
We are currently out of stock on the server above.
I want to get one. Waiting for another round :)
I’ll post here if we have any more become available.
We just had one more become available due to a terminated spammer.
oh no.. I am late.
Ordered one, making it my second Quickpacket server. The drive I got in this new server is blazing fast: 165 MBytes/sec writes.
Thanks for your order. The drives are impressive so far, we’re very glad we ordered these drives!
Hello Interesed in 1 dedicated, please email me when have stock.
oh no… I am late.
We’ll post here if we have any more available. I’m working on ordering another batch as well, so we might have quite a few more in a few days.
They’re well worth the wait, picked one up and it was installed and partitioned perfectly the same day, was able to move everything the next :)
Network is pretty good, server itself feels pretty good, no noticeable problems so far :D
Awesome support, very fast and to-the-point. Top class provider. :-)
I am crying out loud for missing the order.. :(
+1 on wanting one also.
They gave me for my little VPS a formerly Chinese IP address which causes a lot of trouble since it is still listed as Chinese everywhere. Unfortunately they refuse to change it, so I will quit and cannot recommend.
Please open a ticket about this. We may be able to move you to a different VPS node. Thanks
I found your ticket. We never refused to move you over, we just asked if you could get whatever site was telling you the IP address was China-based to update their records.
Regardless, we moved you to a different node and swapped you over to another IP address. I hope this solves your issue. Thanks for your business.
Thanks,
I must have misunderstood the last ticket.
Thanks for the positive comments everyone. We may open up a few more that we had left from the original batch and I’ll post here if we do that.
We ordered in another shipment of servers. It will ship tomorrow and will take about a week to arrive at the data center. Once it’s there, we’ll install in the cabinet and release some more stock. I’m estimating availability around April 15 (but could be sooner).
i am waiting in line for this offer too. when new servers avaible a comment followup would be nice. thanks.
waiting for this awesome offer…… when i should hope for the offer to arrive again.will this coupon code LEBXEON work once it will back.
Ii have bookmarked this page & will visit the page every hour .I will be lucky if i grab this jaw dropping deal.

Ii have bookmarked this page & will visit the page every hour .I will be lucky if i grab this jaw dropping deal.
I too am eager to see more of these become available. I should have grabbed one when the offer first appeared.
thank God i got above configuration at $50 but RAM only 8GB.but still waiting for the above dedicated offer.
@qps we are really intersted in this offer and need one, please let us know if still its is available! Actually we have decided to move from our existing provider in next 1 or two days, It will be worth waiting for next batch if you confirm that there will be no modification in above mentioned offer in term of price and specs ?
We are planning to have additional servers available approximately April 15. We do not have an exact date yet. Thanks for your interest.
hey, i am also want this server, please let us know when available
We are interested also. Please let us know when this deal is available again
Hi, we need 2PCs can You install Centos 5.5 – 32 bits. And elastix ? Thank You.
We can install CentOS 5.9 32-bit, but unless your application requires it, we recommend 64-bit. These are unmanaged servers. You are responsible for any software installation and configuration beyond the initial operating system install.
my application requires centos 5.5 – 32bits. Unamaged is ok?
FYI, these are 16GB servers. 32bit OSes are limited to 4GB, so you will lose out on 12GB of memory. Most 32bit apps, drivers, and libraries will work on 64bit. I once had a java app that only ran stable in 32bit, so I used a 32bit Java on a 64bit machine. Quickpacket is knowledgeable, open a sales ticket with them and see what they suggest.
We are estimating that additional servers will be available next week. We may not make Monday as originally anticipated, but we will try.
This maybe useful to you guys:

Automatically provisioning VMs on an ESXi box. Example uses quickpackets server
Update: We’ve had a delay in getting the new batch of servers installed, so it may be a few more days before we open up for more orders.
Waiting for the new servers.thnx for the information
Can I bring my own licence for win 2012?
We do not allow outside Windows licenses.
We just released new inventory. Please note that the promotional pricing is available only to new customers or existing customers adding additional servers. Thanks!
Thanks for all of the orders! We’ve sold through about 50% of the additional inventory so far.
I got one of the new inventory, and so far I’m quite happy – thanks QuickPacket! Support response times have been amazing (3-8 minutes in EST evenings) for the few questions I’ve had, too.
On a side note, has anyone tested Hyper-V on one of these Dell CS24-SC servers? I’m considering splitting my server into several VMs with separate IPs for redundancy.
We are going to be offering WHMCS licenses to existing customers starting within a few days. If you are interested, please open a sales ticket. We will be at least 15% cheaper than WHMCS direct, but it may be even more of a discount if we get enough customers to sign up.
We are offering WHMCS Branded for $12.80 and WHMCS Unbranded for $14.80.
UPDATE: We only have a few servers left. Thanks for everyone’s orders so far!
Our inventory is getting very low for this promotion, so if you’re interested, now’s the time to order before we run out! :)
I see this offer is sold out; any plans to order more inventory?
I added a few more servers to inventory. We also do anticipate having more servers available once we get in the next batch.
Just ordered one, snagged one of your WHMCS licenses as well. Thanks!
We released a few more of these servers into inventory.
Dam, no more stock! ETA Of next week :(
We may have some more servers this week. We will update this thread when more servers are available.
So happy with quickpacket, they emailed me saying they managed to find a server and now it’s pending set up. Second server from quick pact in under a month. Cheers qps!!
After almost a month, I have to say this is the best server I’ve ever had. Moved over from DataShack, where I had many issues; rude support and there were numerous errors running Xen Cloud Platform on their servers, which they blamed on “bugs” in XCP. After getting XCP setup on the new server through QuickPacket…all those “bugs” mysteriously disappeared running the same version of XCP. The server runs like a dream; it’s stable, responsive and lightening fast. One thing to be aware of is that you need to order as many IPs as you’re ever going to need if you want them on the same subnet at $1/ea; otherwise you have to order a new subnet, which uses 3 IPs so for a block of 8 at $8 you only end up with 5 usable IPs. At the overall low price of the server, I can’t really complain there although it could have been made more clear on signup (I didn’t get a big block because it says prior authorization is required or something to that effect); upon contacting QuickPacket to order more however, they went above and beyond in explaining the “why” of what I saw as a price increase/penalty for not ordering IPs on signup and all was good. Excellent response time from support. The server was up and running in under 24 hours (compared to 3 days from Datashack) and I have had zero issues getting it setup despite not being very familiar with XCP. Couldn’t ask for better and I don’t see myself moving anytime soon. Combine that with the fact that I was able to shave a couple dollars off my WHMCS license and yup, very happy camper. Thanks guys, you’re great!!!
Thanks, Mike! We are glad to have you as a customer. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Hi
When you will be instock again, intrested to buy a dedi, also how much ip cost if we want to buy /29 ?
thanks
Dedicated services come with 5 Usable IPs however I think an additional 5 IPs are $4 or an upgrade to 13 Usable IPs (/28) is $8
Stock wise you’ll have to wait for an official update from QPS.
Hi Scrambleground. We will have some additional servers this coming week. The server comes with a /29 (5 usable IP addresses, one of the IP addresses is used by the KVM over IP/IPMI). An additional /29 is $8 per month.
Hey,
Website is showing a message “server is out of stock”. I want to order one. I want to order one server.
We will have more stock available later this week. I will post here when it is available.
qps,
Thank you for the update, i will buy one as soon as they come instock
I want to ask, can i install vmware esxi5 on it? because i dont see it as option there
Thanks
We can install it for you, but we do not offer software licenses for VMWare, so you are responsible for any software licenses.
and how much OS reload cost?
OS reloads are $25 each.
You can reinstall the OS Yourself for free using the IPMI, they charge $25-35 (Can’t remember exactly) For an OS Reinstall.
Thanks @qps and @alex for the reply
What about vmware esxi5, can i request it with it? because its not in the OS options
Nevermind just saw it, thanks
Please let me know when u are instock, i am ready to buy some
Been using it for a couple of weeks. Great price, reasonable support ticket response time.
Only con is probably HT can’t be enabled even if the CPU supports it.
The Xeon L5420 CPU does not support Hyper Threading.
Hi When you will be instock again? been a while?
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back
later and see if the problem still exists.
spambot ^
qps? When are you instock? i am in need of a dedicated this week, Please let me know if you wont be instock this week so i would manage thanks
We will have additional inventory available later this week. Thanks!
I should note that we do have a few servers available for immediate delivery without a dedicated KVM over IP/IPMI at the same price. Please open a sales ticket on our web site if you are interested. Thanks.
We have limited inventory available for the LowEndBox special. We will have more available later this week.
https://www.quickpacket.com/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=100&promocode=LEBXEON
Is it possible to have these somewhat customized? For example, to have 8GB of ram instead for lesser price? Or maybe you have a different server that meets this?
The hardware options are listed on the order form. We do not offer a lower priced Dual Xeon L5420 server, but we do have some Core 2 Quad Q9550 servers available at $39.99. If you are interested, please open a sales ticket from our website. Thanks!
@qps Is it possible you could please post the specs of the Q9550 servers.
Thanks.
We are no longer offering the Core 2 Quad Q9550 servers.
If Quickpacket can get PCCW/BTN and IPv6, it will be Perfect!
We received in another shipment of servers and I’ve released more inventory.

Hi, we have a few in stock now. Thanks.
Hi, I want to order but it says out of stock, when you will be back in stock?
We do not have an ETA at the moment. We will post here when we have more inventory available.

I think I saw you comment*
We now have more inventory available.
“Thank you for your recent order. In order to proceed with your order, we need to verify you are the credit card holder.

We won’t talk about the specifics of your order. However, speaking generally, there are times that we need to verify orders based on certain characteristics of the order. There is not much we can do without verification in these situations to protect ourselves from chargebacks.
but for orders with paypal, you must consider quick activation and commissioning of the dedi ;)

Sorry about that. Should be fixed – please give it another shot.

i just tried it out, seems like its not working any more…
The coupon code is no longer necessary for the Dual Xeon L5520 servers. It is still required for the Dual Xeon L5420 servers. Thanks.
searching for this offer.Please tell when this server will be available.

We do not have an ETA for stock on the Dual Xeon L5520. You are welcome to check with our sales department for updates. Thanks.
We have more stock available on both the Dual Xeon L5420 and Dual Xeon L5520 servers!
I’ve been with QuickPacket for a few months with the plan in the first post. Occassionally (used to be once every two weeks, now it’s more like once a month) a DDoS attack or switch failure pulls my server offline, but overall the server is reliable, the network quality is great (I have the 20 TB on 1gbps port upgrade), and generally you get responses to tickets within a few hours.
We have a few more of the Dual Xeon L5420 systems in stock at $49 with coupon code LEBXEON.
We also have our Dual Xeon L5520 with 24 GB RAM available for $54.99 with coupon code 15OFFXEON.
