    Not fair!

    I already have a 5$ 100GB VPS with you. Do you want to compete on the next OVerZold product for US?

    • David's avatar
      David

      You can just buy a new VPS and transfer all your files via SSH and SCP to the new one. It will take you some time. ZIP your server and Secure CoPy to the new one but it’s no big deal.

      I also have the previous offer. I’m satisfied. I will go for LEB1 50GB for that price will do.

    What’s with the extreme extra-bandwidth prices?

    Jeff Martin

    Tom,

    Please email support@reliablehostingservices.net and we would be happy to honor the prices on this special for your current account.

    We do not oversell our servers, as we bring on new customers we simply add new hardware nodes as we fully own and operate all of our equipment, we do not have to “rent” servers from other provider(s) to add additional capacity. Please let me know if there is anything we can help you with.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    How much/is it possible to get extra resources? IPs, specifically. Speaking of IPs – you guessed it – any IPv6 or plans for it? (By the way, soon is a trademark of BuyVM that they use for stock, so you can’t say soon)

    • D. Strout's avatar
      D. Strout

      Just noticed that you do have IPv6. My bad. Question about extra of other resources still stands.

      How the heck are they able to claim a trademark on a length of time??

      Anyway, this seems like a really good offer :).

    I’ve bought a vps from RHS in an offer from WHT for $2.5 ( 100GB disk, 512MB memory, 1TB bandwidhth)
    – Support / Live Chat is very fast and helpful (Jeff). I asked for Debian 6 32bit template in the SolusVM, and it’s there after several seconds. 10 from 10 😀

    My only problem is with OpenVPN, tun/tap is there, enabled and available from SolusVM, but every time I started the OpenVPN, it’s always said that cannot load tun.

    • Jeff Martin's avatar
      Jeff Martin

      Erawan,

      We’ll look into this shortly. Sometimes in SolusVM when you enable tun/tap you have to click “Shutdown” in the control panel, wait for it to shutdown, then click Boot. If that doesn’t work we might need to look at the module or your config. Can you please open a ticket by emailing support at reliablehostingservices dot net so we can track your issue?

      Thanks!

      Jeff

      Hello,What do you think of RHS?I’m going to buy.Thank you.

      I had the same problem. You need to make a sym link because they have tun in /dev/tun where in openvpn it’s looking at /dev/net/tun.

    • Erawan Arif Nugroho's avatar
      Erawan Arif Nugroho

      The problem with tun/tap is solved. 🙂
      Thank you very much for Jeff, or anyone helped me 🙂

      If someone want to buy, you should buy it 🙂

    Server received and set up. Network speed is about what you’d expect for a 100Mbps line, averages 10.8 MB/s. I ticketed for IPv6 addresses and received them, almost exactly a half-hour response time. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to work. Jeff said it would be taken care of, once orders had settled down.

    From the ToS:

    User may not:
    b) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

    That’s pretty vague, and would also include httpd, mysql, sshd, and so on.

    Not sure what you’d use the VPS for then.

    • RP's avatar
      RP

      For clarification, I guess that falls under the section of “Shared / Reseller” hosting in the AUP, which is odd, because they make no reference to any shared hosting options on the main site.

      Not sure if that’s just a boiler-plate AUP.

      • Reliable Hosting Services's avatar
        Reliable Hosting Services

        It is left over from when we offered reseller and shared web-hosting. We currently don’t offer those products any longer however we do still maintain some long time customers that have the product so we leave it in the ToS.

        • RP's avatar
          RP

          Thanks for the clarification. My apologies for the confusion.

    • Reliable Hosting Services's avatar
      Reliable Hosting Services

      If you look carefully, you’ll notice that section is from the Shared / Re-Seller Policy portion of our ToS and does not apply to VPS products.

      • RP's avatar

        In that case, I have no reason not to try it out.

    Interested in LEB3. Is the promo price locked in for good? (Meaning, will it remain $7.00/month over the years, or will it increase after a certain period?).

    Also, even though this is unmanaged, can some initial, *ONE TIME* support be provided in getting the website up? (just an index.html deployment, and nothing else).

  13. Manel's avatar

    should I have an own domain? As I’ve seen that I should provide a hostname like “something.mydomain.com”
    thanks

    • Jeff Martin's avatar
      Jeff Martin

      The “hostname” field is just a basic name for your VPS. If you don’t have a domain you can put enter it as something simple like “myserver” or “vps1”. Without quotes of course!

      Thanks,

      Jeff

        Hi Jeff,

        I’ve bought one of the 2 dollar vps’s but mine is stuck at around 200kb/s transfer speed. Are the speeds capped and if not do you know why mine wont go above 200kb/s when transferring files?

        • Jeff Martin's avatar
          Jeff Martin

          Scott,

          I can get anywhere from 18-80mbps to my home connection outbound from your VPS. Sent you a screenshot.

    This looks like one of the best offers I’ve seen. 50gb + 512mb ram and from a company that’s actually established. Plus they are local to me, so I am thinking of picking one up later on.

  17. vic's avatar
    vic

    How much longer will this offer be available?

    Also, since this would be my first VPS, can somebody post some speed benchmarks of their setups to some EU countries, or explain how the networking works since I heard something along the lines that everything goes thorough either Germany or UK, would that be the only route that matters in the end? Their 100mb test file seems to be downloading pretty fast from Romania (up to 1.8MB/s), how about other countries? Honestly I don’t expect much from a $2 offer, but a ~1MB/s would be really appreciated.

    P.S. I hope the resources are more than sufficient to run a LAMP stack with ftp, e-mail, etc. to host some wordpresses and highly-optimized php sites.

  18. Xei's avatar
    Xei

    Of all the east coast VPS providers I’ve speed tested they appear to have some of the best speeds to EU for me. I got 8-10MB/s to Sweden in two different tests. Hostigation is the only other I’ve found with fast speeds to EU (NC location).

    • vic's avatar
      vic

      Thanks, that’s encouraging.

      • Xei's avatar
        Xei

        I had varied speeds this time around so time of day probably plays a big role. I guess we need others to post their speed tests to other countries in EU to get a better idea? It did perform ok to Sweden again but this time 3-5MB/s. .DE tests below

        Germany tests:
        RHS: 3.07MB/s, 1.47MB/s
        Hostigation: 5.17MB/s, 5.52MB/s
        TinyVZ: 2.49MB/s, 5.37MB/s

    Is this offer still available? The links now say $5/month instead of $2/month.

    How do we get the $2/month rate?

    • Darin's avatar

      Sorry, I meant that the LEB1 $2/month deal is now $4/month. Can I still get the $2/month plan?

        This deal is still available, you just need to continue to the checkout cart on the second page, and it will show the coupon with the correct price

    cracking vps for $2 a month, mistakenly installed centos when ordering & the reimage took 4-5 mins, ping is good, bandwith is good, sent in a ticket with a minor problem & had a reply back within a few hours, cannot fault it so far 🙂

    I have the $7 package from RHS (2gb memory quad core 2tb bandwidth). Few issues with DNS (Basically from my lack of experience) which were quickly resolved. Server is robust with bags of power and an ample connection speed. Plenty of bang for your buck here! Highly recommended! 🙂

      Wow, I emailed Reliable Hosting about this–8 minutes later my VPS was upgraded in place, no downtime at all. I didn’t even know you could do that. 🙂 I’m really impressed with this company so far, great job!

    I picked one up – first day it was great, at the moment it’s been really laggy basically unusable via ssh. Not sure if it’s due to a network issue or an abuser on the node. Too early to say if this is a normal occurrence or not.

    • Jeff Martin's avatar

      Hi,

      Can you open a support ticket under your account so we can take a look? We need to know these kinds of things so we can resolve them.

      Thanks!

      • Xei's avatar

        It resolved within 30 minutes. I will definitely make a ticket next time. The portal to login to the VPS for making tickets a bit laggy at the time but then lag improved so I didn’t bother, then got laggy again but improved after some minutes. I think it was most likely packet loss since that happens on my other LEBs from time to time.

    I have three vps that company, and a long time do not see a server quality, and honesty like this now, I’m coming here to congratulations because no names, already worked with huge companies with VPS shameful and incompetent support personnel. Station of parabens same. So the only thing I think is missing and a form of payment, better than PayPal As in Brazil paypal charges carissimo transactions, so would gladly have google checkout or credit card (Visa and Mastercard).

    I recommend all of these guys.

    I’m using a VPS with my friend and we’re having a one major issue with the DNS. My friend(owner if the VPS) has been off for a while and i really have no idea how to fix this. 80% of the people i give my website to cannot open it(i’m assuming it’s a dns problem) and the support won’t help with the issue unless the ticket is opened from the owner’s account, but that’s not an excuse to avoid fixing the problem 🙁

    • herb's avatar
      herb

      sooo, say you were NOT the co-owner of this site & the host changed dns settings to what you wanted it to be & then you turned out to be a hacker? would the owner of the account be happy? no.. im guessing you wont get anywhere without speaking to your ‘friend’ first.

    • Jeff Martin's avatar
      Jeff Martin

      As we told you in the email, the IP you listed in the support ticket you opened with us is not for our VPS offerings. It is assigned to a customer of ours who has a dedicated server. We recommended you contact the person directly that you bought the VPS from.

      TL;DR: You don’t have a VPS with us… You bought from a customer of ours that is using one of our dedicated servers and selling VPS services.
