Last offer from SemoWeb has been quite a success. Good pricing, speedy server and very responsive support — well done Dustin! He has informed me that they have brought back in more stock, and the same offer as last time. $3/month will get you:
- 256MB guaranteed/768MB burstable memory
- 15GB storage
- 150GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Sign up link. If you pay for the whole year it would be $30/year. They are also offering 2x free SemoWeb pen if you open a ticket with them (need to make sure your address on file is correct so they can post the pens to you). Servers with Limestone Networks in Dallas TX (test IP: 64.31.44.130).

Nice, who would need a pen? :P
I could always use an extra pen.
Looking at their VPS plans, it appears you can get a better setup based in Florida than the offered plan in Texas for just a little more money. While the $3 a month plan offers 15 gigs of hard drive space and 150 gigs of transfer, their $3.50 place doubles that with 30 gigs of space and 300 gigs of transfer.
Or am I misreading things?
Only major problem I see with their website, beside the huge headers on nearly every single page that forces down the content past a Page Down, is their MB to GB converter appears not to be working:
https://www.semoweb.com/converter.html
Hello,
Actually this plan was strictly intended for LEB so you will not see it on our site as of yet :)
Our VPS page really does need an status box of which location vps are being provisioned in as of now we have restocked Dallas and we have all orders being place in Dallas due to the huge demand.
As for the plan you get less bandwidth and disk space on the promotion we offer here but a lot more burst for ram and 50 cents less. Clients can always upgrade and downgrade as needed.
The MB-GB page does work in internet explore just not in Firefox that I’m aware I also need to get that taken care of but to be honest it hasn’t been a priority as we been focusing more on our brand but will do .
@ LEB Admin thanks!
You made it work in Internet Explorer but not in FireFox, you’re damned to hell if you continue that.
It actually worked in all browsers until our new design. :-p I will make sure it gets coded for cross browser compatibility.
I signed up for your last promotion. Can I get some free pens? ^_^
Yeah that is the idea. For that reasons I didn’t got this offer, and instead the 3.50 plan. Everything is going well =)
Hmmm, I want a pen xD but I am in Mexico hahaha
Yomero,
Open a ticket we will still send you one! :)
Yes I want but… generally nobody is in home to receive mail u_u Maybe I can give you another address :P Let me think n_n
Is it also available for people in Indonesia? :D
Erawan Arif Nugroho,
Sure just open a ticket :)
Yomero,
Its all up to you :)
I would still recommend Semoweb! As I said again and again, Dustin and his team run a tight ship. Keep up the good work.
PenguinTux,
Thanks a lot for your feed back we will continue to do our best!
Any idea what’s port for this plan? 100Mbps?
Hello,
Its actually 100mbps sorry for not making that clear..
Any idea what’s port for this plan? 100Mbps?
Hello,
Its actually 100mbps sorry for not making that clear.
Do you offer native ipv6 addresses?
Dirk,
Unfortunately at this time we do not.
I’m going to recommend Semoweb too. I’ve been running the first node of our DNS network on it, without much problem. Speeds are great, disk IO is great. I’m on one of the Florida nodes.
Only issues i’ve encountered are a severely out of date kernel, and intermittent issues where the VPS itself is mysteriously set to “off”.
Damian,
Glad to here your happy over all, if you face any issues just open a ticket we will always be here to help.
Ordered one :)
Maxmind mark me as fraud, send a Ticket, and less then a minute it’s been fixed. Thank you.
I will move several of my Domains here
Hello,
Glad to hear it! We look forward to a long term relationship.
You would think Maxmind’s system would have some sort of learning process on their end.
is it possible to host rapidleech in vps for personal use?
Hello,
At this time we do not allow it.
I have 2 vps on them now… Servers are pretty stable and fast..
Good work Dustin.. :)
Wira,
Nice to hear your feed back I’m glad your happy!
Actually, I like their 512MB plan but I don’t need all that BW nor storage. If they can get a LEB offer for 512MB with less of those and a lower price I would be all over it. I’m not sure about the others but I come to LEB to see if I can get some low price VPS to play around with and BW and storage is not as important as RAM to me.
Hello,
We do have different plans here http://semoweb.com/vps.html they are also fairly priced.
Hello,
We had reports of slowness on Slave 11 and we checked the hard drives etc everything appears to be ok how ever its acting really sluggish and we have given the ok to take the server offline on an emergency check.
Sorry for anyone who is under this server we are working urgently to resolve this.
I just logged in to my SolusVM, and it’s down. And at the website, it said that they are currently having problem at node Slave11. Hm….
Wish it fixed soon :)
Hello,
Actually I was away from this computer as I updated LEB so my other comment is still awaiting moderation we also updated both Twitter and Announcements about the issues that happened with Slave 11 it was facing over heating issues and required emergency attention thus we had to bring the server offline to review and replace hardware as needed the Thermal Paste was replaced and the temp was verified to be 30 C so we were on the right track and brought there server back online.
Anyhow I would like to apologize to everyone on Slave 11 and had to witness the downtime while we investigated the root cause and fix accordingly.
Servers back online!
All the best,
Dustin
I am still with them, hosting a small photo site and using it as a proxy at work, never had downtime and haven’t had the need to contact support for a while. Keep up the good work Dustin… sending in a ticket now for the pens (from new jersey) ;-)
Also I’m going to play around with a new VPS later next week, so expect a new order from me :-)
Pman-Family,
Glad to hear it! Send us that ticket we will get them sent out on Monday we have quite a few going out.
I have bought an account and have requested Tun/Tap to be enabled. Its been a while and still no response. Hoping to here from them soon
Do you have a ticket number I can look into please?
Unfortunately Slave 11 is over heating again, We must proceed with notifying the dc for an emergency check.
Please open ticket for updates.
Sorry for the late response slave 11 is back doing its thing.
Glad to see that you’re updating your clients here before the clients are posting that its down… shows how far you will go when it comes to emergencies. :) Great work Dustin & the team :-D
PenguinTux,
Thanks Slave 11 has been a pain, we are trying our best to keep things smooth.
Hehe luckily I’m not on that node ;-)
Anyway keep up the good work hopefully all gets resolved. When you control so many servers you’re bound to have issues here and there that’s just the nature of technology.
I’m on that node :D
But I will not make any complaint more, because I know they are always doing their best.
So, i just will wait and trust them
Same here…
But seems that the performance is slower than before the issue happend..
I noticed this too, but rebooting my VPS seems to have brought everything back up to speed.
I was very impressed with how fast they responded to my tickets, on a Sunday too!
Hello,
Just wanted to comment on the speed issues with Slave 11 we have replaced the thermal paste twice and added another fan, sadly its giving warnings again and people are having to face slowness which is not normal what so ever here at SemoWeb we will be updating our announcements and here and twitter as soon as we will be taking the server offline I want to apologize for such the short notice each time.
Agreed, haven’t had to contact support in a bit but when I did I gotten speedy responses. Way to go SemoWeb!
Wira,
Everything should be performing as expected please let us know if you still have issues.
Hello, At this time the issue has been resolved please advise if you still are facing any slowness.
Slave 11 will require another check the performace is not up to par. We will be bringing it offline to make changes for optimal performance.
Hello,
The server is now booting up for any updates or questios open a ticket.
Can confirm their VPS support answered very fast. In like 5-10 minutes. The VPS service seems stable so far.
:) Thanks a lot for the feed back, We will continue to do our best.
Is this VPS plan your first ever outside of Hostdime, FL?
Shearerc,
Our last offer was actually in Dallas as well.
Just signed up with them and got assigned to ‘slave 11’ which sadly is kinda crippled at the moment (been waiting 15 minutes for a python deb install). They are probably still sorting stuff out. I hope my ticket where I asked to be moved to a different node will be answered soon :p
I’m sorry but I’m going to be a pain here but if I was on a server labeled “Slave”, I’d be running. Not really politically correct in today’s world view.
And I’m a white guy.
what do you call secondary drives then o.O
You call them laborers, or the middle class :O
Just kidding
That what additional servers are called in SolusVm sorry if you take offense to it as its not our intention.
The fact that your a “white guy” complaining about this is funny.
The term is used in so many ways in the IT world that is the last thing I think of when I see that term. I see that is the first thing that comes to your mind though.
I spend much of my free time (OK, you all can stop laughing now) working with groups that help the area homeless. Something like 85% African American or black, which ever term you prefer.
The only other time I’ve seen it used in IT is with backup drives or servers. I don;t recall any other time seeing it but I may have missed it.
SolusVm may need to come up with a better name.
Slave disk??? Master disk :D (Mastah!)
Hello,
Has it been taken care of? If not please provide a ticket number I will get it sorted.
Vlad, let semoweb do their thing. I’m sure you will be satisfied once all is taken care of :) I been with them for a while and can say they are truly dedicated to their clients and business.
All new orders being placed on a whole new Slave we restocked some more in Dallas.
Do you ever sleep ? -_-
I do just trying my best to make sure things run smooth putting in over time #_#
Really, thanks for the great support!
We’re usually wake up at 2am everyday for doing praying / shollat tahajjud, and 4am for another praying.
And it’s rare to see people, for already wake and doing their job at another country.
So, my big honor for you:)
typo :
” And it’s rare to see people, for already wake in the morning and doing their job at another country.”
Hello,
You guys are very welcome and deserve it.
We really really apologize for the issues on Slave 11 trust us we never have so many issues with a server especially a new one how ever I guess its luck you know hardware :-p
Got a very disk io on slave11
Compared with slave6
Misstyped… I mean very low disk io
On Slave 8…
Wira, We are actually bringing down slave 11 now for a full check from our DC things are never ever like this, I will be updating you guys shortly. Infact Slave 11 is a new server which has been nothing but issues with over heating etc, we will bring this to an end and resolve this.
Due to the issue with slave 11 we have brought online slave 12 for new orders.
We are trying our best and will update you guys shortly.
Hello Dustin,
Thank you for the information… Looking forward for the good news…
Anyway… any latest update on this slave11 server?
Thanks…
Wira,
At this time everything has been resolved please let us know if you have any more issues.
Terrible Service, wasting time.
How so? Is the speeds we posted terrible? Did you have bad service? I can’t imagine you get a terrible lot for $3 a month.
Marco,
Whats your server ip or ticket numnber? I will be more than happy to take a look.
never mind, read my thread in WHT, you will know soon enough.
Were a corporate member there so we will get an alert.
If you cannot provide either a ticket or server ip please know that I cant help.
Take care.
Marco,
I have been a client of semoweb for a while and never had major issues with them, service is overall excellent. I have a major feeling that you work for a competitor as you failed to provide some sort of proof to the semoweb rep. They have been more than responsive here on LEB even though they don’t have to be, thats something you dont see much from hosts.
No plans of getting servers from softlayer for sumoweb?
Hello,
At this time we do not have a partnership with them.
That would be awesome but according to WHT softlayer has been going dwonhill so limestone is perfect :D
Helloo.. thank you for the kind offer, Im submitted ticket and awaiting my pens now… I didn’t know you shipped to Colombia :)
VPS works good so far… A+ services, no problems, using as tunnel and VNC server.
Hello, We are shipping world wide as a thank you to all of you!
Slave11 has been down for 2 hours now.. :(
I think this node really really not stable/ready to be used as production node..
Wira, The dc is looking into the issue, All our other servers with Limestone are running and up just fine this one has been some work and we will update you via ticket soon, I replied to your ticket earlier.
Wira, The server is back online.
Anyone on slave 12 have problem today ?
I just tranfer over it. And my website seem down today. Monitor service notice me that it down 9 minute today ?
Lordgoth,
Slave 12 has not been down at all today.
I would purchase a VPS but your SSL is not fully secure.
Big X on the HTTPS = not good for me to buy.
Good prices though. :)
LOL, you can’t imagine all the providers with NO SSL… Imho, this is secure…
Probably, but I don’t really feel like putting out my information unless it really is SSL’d, when it comes to credit card information.
Not that I wouldn’t buy, but all my other VPS’s were valid SSLs. I’d like to keep it that way :).
More of a personal preference, but sending blank credit card text to a provider, can’t imagine who would want a hold of that lol.
PayPal
2Checkout / Credit Cards
Google Checkout
AlertPay
That are the pay forms… none of these methods requires sending your credit card data through semoweb site.
Thanks Yomero, didn’t even see it (honestly!).
Appreciate the help :) even though it was a major error on my part.
Yep – SSL there. :P
@Yomero, thanks you pretty much cleared it up.
@Blackstorm72 We do have ssl though on our billing https://semoweb.com/billing anyhow all your payment information is done through our processors.
You may want to check that. Redirects to the non secure version:
http://www.semoweb.com/billing/index.php
Heck, just tried forcing it with HTTPS-Everywhere and it wouldn’t take.
Another low disk io on slave11 after few days in a good one (25-40 average).. :(
Wira,
We are getting a lot more than that, can you give it another try?
Its always going to vary.
Hello SemoWeb,
Here another try..
This result after I add 512MB more RAM.. and still very bad disk IO..
Have open a ticket (201026), still no increase on disk io performance…
I think RAM generally doesn’t have a relation with I/O =P
Hello,
Yes, I know, the RAM wouldn’t effect on disk io.. But my purposes to add more buffer on MySQL to help the process become faster..
But still no luck… very very bad disk io.. :(
Yeah I’m Getting the same.
Says instant setup, but haven’t receive my order…
haha, I used a different e-mail. Found my vps info :/
Ok, found my VPS info hidden in one of my e-mails. Took about 2-3 minutes to connect to my vps. As soon as I started typing “root” I got disconnected for waiting too long. This happened every time. This has to be the slowest VPS node I have ever been on, seriously. Requested a refund.
Which node are you on?
@ William & @Wira,
Could we possibly offer you a spot on a different node?
Slave 11 and Slave 12 having been an unfortunate pain we are working on getting everything resolved and as of now all orders have not been placed on either due to the issues they have been facing.
We are always looking to improve and offer the best possible service we can so let us know what we can do to make things right for you as we work away on these 2 slaves.
I’m on slave 4. I finally managed to login to my VPS.
When I login to the billing area:
http://screensnapr.com/v/zV2JfG.png
When I try to uncancel my vps:
http://screensnapr.com/v/8U80pm.png
Anyways, can you guys cancel my cancellation request. I want to give it a try since you guys gotten pretty decent reviews at wht.
Invoice #902253
My personal VPS is on Slave 4 and performance has been fine?
It’s fine now, but it wasn’t when I signed up…
Hello,
Please physically submit a ticket at our help desk for such request.
You ticket system ?
When i ask for a upgrade you response me in 6hours .
however after i paid for the upgrade invoice , you just close my upgrade request.I open a new ticket,and you only response me “please reply the old ticket” Then after i reply the old ticket,I have never hear from you any longer.
How can this happen?
This is you ticket system.
semoweb such a bad service provider.
Do you have a ticket id?
Hi, do I have to register a domain separately before signing up to this plan and filling out the server config section? Thanks.
Hello,
You can do so here.
http://semoweb.com/domain.html
Pretty good. 90mbps down and 37mbps up while on VNC – http://tech163.fus.bz/wp-content/uploads/1362090256.png
Tech,
Thanks for hosting with us!
Very nice spam. Besides the fact that link is dead long time ago, the owner might not even be hosting with you since the domain is behind cloudflare. But nice spam indeed to necro reply on dead comments.
that’s just fine,Tom,
life is hard and all have to work for the best.
Just ordered last night, got set up right away. Here are some stats:
I also asked to get the free pens and they replied to my ticket right away even though I submitted my ticket after midnight. Awesome so far :)
Glad to hear!
WARNING: SEMOWEB is apparently to be added to the list of VPS providers that have failed or are failing–servers have been down over 24-hours.
The site comes up for me. Care to clue as in on what you’re talking about? We don’t read minds here. :)
Site comes up for you, really, what is the IP address? What node are you on?
Mine’s up. Slave8.
I am downloading my SVN backups though to be safe.
my VPS with them has been down for more than 24 hours now. Seems to me all their nodes are down
One of my VPS is down and one of them is up. Waiting for staff update…
