@Asim copy paste from previous posts? I believe most of these plans have double the disk space allocation by now.
My bad, fixed it
my site is running in ramnode now ! very stable ! Keep Up The Good Work Guys!
Thanks again Asim! @DalComp – probably my mistake in how I sent in the offer, but I’m sure they’ll fix it soon.
Anyone have a comparison of the Cashed SSD vs the Pure SSD. IO tests would be nice to see.e
02/24/2014 08:42 – For a limited time, we are offering free secondary IPs for US VPSs!
Cool!
do you have larger ram plans?
They do, just not within LEB pricing.
the NOWAY42 works on all other plan, just that it will be higher than $7
Hi Nick,
The CPU limitations (e.g. use more than 90% of the CPU and you’ll be rebooted), do those apply to both KVM and OpenVZ?
Thanks,
That’s not quite what it says, but the limits apply to all VPSs.
The 256/512 promotions don’t appear to be valid. It’s just redirecting to the 128 MB order page.
:) use the slider to adjust the package
I did. The 512 one says it’s $7.50 instead of $4.35 and the 256 one says it’s 12.75 quarterly not 7.40.
Did you applied the code?
The promotion code you entered has been applied to your cart but no items qualify for the discount yet – please check the promotion terms.
Never mind, it’s working
hi :) the discount code will be effected when you confirm the order (if you clicked the order link in this page). thanks Ramnode for the new coupon code.

Haven’t done any other tests yet, just noticed that apt-get is pretty slow. It may be that the mirror it’s using is the issue, http://ftp.us.debian.org.
Speeds look good here so it was debian being slow:

Can the plan of “512MB SKVM” install windows?
We have two SSD vps of RamNode and Disk IO is Awesome.
I really am liking my 2nd Ramnode VPS. Would love to pick up a 3rd sometime in the future if you guys open another location!
Thought I’d stop buying unneeded VPSes once I’d been on RamNode for a while.
Nope! You just cancel the others and buy more RamNode ones…
I have a VPS with RamNode and it’s been excellent and great value for money.
UK Location would be even better.
Agreed!!!
Is not reason for this. RamNode has location in Netherlands, and this is really close to the UK.
Just ordered another one in Atlanta SSD, will post benchmark up ASAP.
It grows bigger now.
I’ll order more again, if Ramnode open datacenter on singapore :D
Is this offer for lifetime?
It says recurring offer.
Hi,
Can ISPConfig works well on 128MB OpenVZ SSD or 256MB OpenVZ SSD or 256MB KVM SSD. I have 6 WP blogs to hosts not very large 200-300 uv/day and 3000-4000 posts. And warez linking allowed. Waiting for answer. Will buy one for 3 months. Currently i am on shared hosting paying 2$ month but want to move to vps.
Thanks.
Any answer? live chat is also offline waited for hours.
You should use their contact form on the website.
Every time I have raised a ticket it’s been responded to within 20 minutes!
Tried to order a VPS and it was instantly suspended and marker as “Fraud” without any further explanations. After filing a support ticked I’ve been told that that was because I was ordering it from begind an anonymous VPN. Definitely not a pleasant experience.
Does that mean my VPS can be suddenly suspended at the least appropriate moment for some other obscure reasons not stated in TOS? Do not want.
Of course hiding who you are is going to mark you as fraudulent. That’s just a no brainer
Pretty decent speeds and setup here. From a different promotion, but still quite stable network and server. Well worth the pennies / day they’re charging me ;)

Code has expired. I’m quite sad now.
That is sad! I picked up two of these yesterday because my ‘spare’ VPS (used just for development) had just expired – and I wasn’t going to renew a URPad VPS when I could have a RamNode VPS for $1.92/year more!
We have added a few more days to the promo!
Caution: When buying their Ubuntu 12.04 VPS, there is stuff already installed and their support had no idea what or how to remove it. The said ‘it is a template and we cannot change it’.
This all started when I discovered Apache was installed and running before I did anything.
I would be fine with it if they could tell me what was different from a stock Ubuntu install but alas, even their support had no idea.
It’s the default OpenVZ template from: http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated
I’d have to see a specific ticket ID to know what the exact conversation was, though.
Based on the reviews i’m seeing here, I really want to try your vps but can you install a free panel for me like webmin or ispconfig ? because I’m not good in Linux
You’d want to stop by our IRC channel for help with that.
I’ll help you out with this, send me a message over at anthony@proxiethemes.com
I wanted to to order a vps but it seem the offer just expired or im wrong?
It has expired, but we have a coupon I posted below still :)
This coupon has expired, but we still have 38% off with “wownum1” :)
Just purchased using the NOWAY42 coupon and it seems still valid. Thanks
Actually, I take that back. We’ll leave the coupon up as long as we’re still on the front page :)
Great :D
Look like, i’ll oreder more vps again
You are still on the front page but the coupon isn’t working anymore :-( Please make it work for me..
I’m having the same issue, coupon isn’t working anymore
Sorry – it’s up until March 15 now.
Nick – 42% coupon has expired – Just confirmed with Spencer. Says 38% is max avail.
Nick – Tried to sign up last night. Spencer said it expired on the 7th. Are you still honoring? Thanks.
Sorry – it’s up until March 15 now.
I have been with RamNode for 6 months and I have had NO problems. I can’t comment on the support as i have not had any support related issues. My only complaint, is they do not offer locations in the North East. I will most likely be purchasing another server from them very soon!! Keep up the good work RamNode!!
Can i pay directly to your bank via western union?
Only PayPal and Stripe.
its hosting not for VPN use. Read TOS and go.
Hello ,
May i know how long would it take before the node is activate after payment had been confirmed ?
Thanks
It usually takes like a minute or two.
no more coupon? :( I missed it
Any more upcoming Easter Weekend offers?
Any more offers? i waiting to grab more vps!!
Any more offers? waiting to get few more box!
Easter Special!
EASTER SPECIAL!
Signed up last month with Ramnode and so far everything’s been going great! Excellent I/O speed and solid uptime. I’ll definitely be looking into ordering more from them. Very good experience so far.
Anyone using it in India?
any latest coupon code?
[B][B]SUMMARY[/B][/B]
– [U]overall rating[/U] 4 stars out of 10.
– Potentially excellent hosting
– 3 major outages within 1 month
– created fault in server when moving it
– very poor customer service in managing the situation
– would definitely NOT recommend to others
[B]FULL REVIEW[/B]
I read a lot of amazing reviews about Ramnode on Low End Box so I thought I would give them a try.
For $2 a month I thought the price was very attractive.
Their servers are FAST.
It’s easy to spawn a server with your flavor of Linux.
However, within the past month I’ve had 3 major outages.
When I challenged support they told me that the hardware was prone to fault and I should move to another node. I asked them why they never suggested this action before if they new it was prone to continue failing.
So they moved the server to a new node.
After moving it my application stopped working. Bear in mind all services were running prior to the move. Immediately after the move the app stopped.
They said php was not running. It was. So was apache and mysql and every other service.
So something had changed after they moved the server. The environment they provisioned WAS NOT IDENTICAL to the old node they had moved the server from.
They said that support was not part of the current package so they couldn’t do anything.
That’s fair enough in most instances, but in this case the fault was theirs. So they should fix it. First of all I would not have moved if the servers hadn’t kept on faulting out. And second of all, the move is what caused my app to stop working (because they had changed something in the provisioned environment).
Honestly, I would have expected them to at least compare what had changed from the new to old nodes – even without a support agreement in place.
In the end I had to hire an extremely good dev ops guy to come and sort it all out.
[B]CONCLUSION[/B]
I think they could be a great basic hosting service, unfortunately I happened to be on a faulty node. That’s life – unfortunately it sometimes happens.
However, how they handled this situation afterwards was VERY amateurish. Their answers were glib, unwilling, and unhelpful. They didn’t lift a finger to help sort out a situation which they had caused in the first place.
For that reason, and because of the unfortunate outages I have to give Ramnode a 4 stars out of 10.
I think that’s fair given the amount of outages and poor customer service at the end.
I see you’re going around copy/pasting this review. Here’s my response: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=9142231&postcount=2 .
Sure, you can see my reply there too.
well… ramnode is damn good.. nick also really helpful… my vpn server run for 70days already..and my main vps for my website run only 4days because of restart from ramnode side well they did tell me in advance so i dont mind it and it only for 2minutes… the connection to ASIA and singapore is BEST from what i ever find in LEB
any latest coupon code???
Guys, any current coupon codes? Can not find any good ones…
You guys have any working coupon codes for Ramnode?
upvote +1
Ramnode doesn’t do coupons anymore and pretty much their normal pricing is the old less 42% I think it was?
Honestly, they’re pretty cheap now anyways…
