SemoWeb are back again after 2 months since last appearing. Dustin has just one exclusive LowEndBox offer this time.
VPS – LTP #5
|
SemoWeb have been featured on LowEndBox quite a few times before. They were registered back in 2009. This offer brings forth auto backups, super large bandwidth with 100 Mbps Uplink and the node itself runs on a 1Gbps port. They’re still operating out of the QuadraNet datacenter in Los Angeles which is renowned for it’s Asian connectivity. On their last offer, it had mixed reviews. It would be great if any current clients could leave a review with us in the comments!
SemoWeb accepts all major credits cards through 2checkout and PayPal so you can pay via that, and as for return policy, their VPS products are not eligible for any trials or refunds. Dustin has informed us via the ticket that each container is alloted 4x Cores shared, their nodes in LA are E3-1230v2 with 4x Physical Cores & 4x Logical Cores – TOTAL 8x Cores, Clock Speed 3.3 GHz + Max Turbo Frequency 3.7 GHz. They have DUAL E5620 in line as well which mean 8x Physical Cores + 8x Logical Cores due to ‘HyperThreading’ TOTAL 16x Cores. Be sure to read up their Terms and Privacy Policy before purchasing.

What does this mean?: “It is absolutely forbidden to host an IRC server that is part of or connected to another IRC network or server.”
Is it saying one cannot host an IRC server?
Hello,
IRC Server is not allowed on our network as a whole, we do apologize for any inconveniences caused.
Does it include connecting to a IRC server as a client too?
This is almost too good an offer compared to the competition. Also, I am a bit worried about the service after reading some previous reviews. Maybe others can chime in…
While I can admit, its definitely competitive, I can confidently say you can expect quality from us :D
My cpus are only 2.4GHz…
Open a support ticket please, we can move you “if” desired.
Do you guys offer this package with windows server? I I need either server 2003 or 2008.
Hi James!
Great question! This offer is based off of OpenVZ virtualization, so Windows is not possible.
Apologies for any inconveniences caused.
How about the shared core’s frequency?
We run a mixture.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 v2
(8M Cache, 3.30 GHz) w/3.7Ghz (TOTAL 4x Physical Cores& 4x Logical Cores)
&
DUAL Intel® Xeon® Processor E5620
(12M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 5.86 GT/s Intel® QPI) w/2.66Ghz (TOTAL8x Pysical Cores & 8x Logical Cores)
We will also be implementing DUAL E5-2620 very soon as well :) We balance our sales perfectly fine.
It’s quite interesting. I would request those who’ve already subscribed to kindly post your benchmark.
I didn’t find anything in the TOS specifically against running a torrent server.Are these allowed?
I to understand that if I create a php page allowing someone to upload images or files, this is regarded as a violation of terms?
I have one more doubt. Looking at your past history on LEB, you’d been providing boxes with very modest specs, around 256-512 MB RAM. can you assure us that these boxes will not be oversold and that we will get the resources advertised?
Great question, and I can respect it.
We never have we failed to meet this either. Our allocations are fully usable as long as the virtual servers are not abusive / causing issues with others then there is nothing to worry about.
Torrent servers are unfortunately not allowed.
In regards to a “php page” allowing others to upload images or files is not necessarily forbidden, now if its causing abuse etc then yes, otherwise no big deal.
Is this vps all right for directadmin?
Hello Kim! You can certainly install direct admin on this VPS.
How About Uptime,Performance and Support for this provider ?? Please Any Review for semoweb ?? I need this vps for Hosting Server ??
thanks
Hello,
Our VPS would be perfect for a “hosting server”.
Please share your thoughts about our services after signing up or even months after — I’m confident you’ll enjoy our services.
I have a vps from 2 years ago, without any downtime. I recommend this company!
cause i have read bad review at WHT
You can read bad reviews from all hosting companies. But I use my vps from Semoweb without any problem, no downtime, etc. The port speed connection is also good. Try it!
LinixMania,
You’re speaking the truth! While I also admit some of our past reviews our valid we have improved for the better and provide solid services and have many customers such as LinixMania who are able to vouch for us.
@ LinuxMania, your loyalty with SemoWeb is very much appreciated, it’s always great to see customers who have been with us for years.
Either LEB made a mistake or Semoweb did, when you try to order the prices are: 5.99 monthly, 17 Quarterly, 32 Semi-annually, 57 annually.
Could somenone made the corrections please.
Yes “semi-annually” not bi-annually. It’s been corrected.
Thanks Liam :D
I have used Semoweb since November 2010, and I never have any issue with their service. The LA network is fast and ticket is answered in a timely manner.

Hello vRozenSch00n,
Thanks! We’re happy to see you enjoying our speedy support! Thanks for being such a valued customer.
We sincerely appreciate your business.
“Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds”, “you are allow 20 concurrent connections at any time”. In other words, “these VPS specs are just for looking at, not using”.
This is for shared and reseller hosting
“SemoWeb shared and reseller servers run Cloud Linux you are allow 20 concurrent connections at any time, if you exceed this your account will be affected not the server.”
Surge, you’re looking at the “Resource Usage SemoWeb Hosting Shared Hosting”
@ Ryan, thanks for clearing it up, you were right.
payza accepted?
skykipe,
Great question, we do accept Payza! We look forward to working with you!
i just order the VPS, but i recive error “MaxMind Error”
what is “MaxMind Error”?
Please e-mail dustin@semoweb.com and I’ll help find out why (or open a billing ticket please)
“2560MB vSwap” is incorrect. This offer has 512Mb vSwap.
Surge, please open a ticket, this includes “2560MB vSwap”
Hmmm that offer is tempting and make my current semoweb VPS expensive (previous LEB’s offer with extra disk) ! ^^
Good deal for a good company with robust hardware (and no kernel panic !)
Seraphin69,
Order one of these VPS as well, you’ll be very happy :)
been their customer a year (’11-’12). Recently bought a LTS#4. I didn’t need to knock support except for 1 or 2 times, but Dustin is really really helpful and takes care of all the issue visible to him. And I never had any downtime issue.
Like Seraphin69 said, this offer is very tempting and now LTS VPS seems costly :P
If your work/website has chance to get notices (not just DMCA), their server aren’t for you,IMHO :)
Good service, I recommend them.
emdad,
Happy to see you around! glad you recommend our service, thanks again!
I just tried to order one of these from where I am working in Ireland. However, I live in the UK and commute to Ireland each week. Your system spat the dummy and said that it couldnt process my order because my IP address is different from my residential country.
A little peeved about that one because I wanted to order one today.
Hi Mark,
I can certainly understand, and it’s actually great that our system detects and prevents this (most customers when finding this output simply contact us) do you mind e-mailing me? I’ll manually set your order to pending.. my e-mail is dustin@semoweb.com
I hope to hear from you soon.
I would stay away from these guys, they love to spam you even after you dont have a service anymore and even after tickets to them asking to be removed from the list
Spencer,
Can I have a ticket number? We can simply close your account (If not already done)
i want to buy a vps, but…………
Talk to me, please e-mail me at dustin@semoweb.com & let’s work out whats holding you back..
and your VPS can support (TUN/TAP) PPtp or openvpn server?
Certainly! Should you have any issues feel free to open a support ticket.
Our staff is available 24×7 to assist.
and have not IPV6? the additional dedicated IPV4 address cost?
tekin,
At this time we do not support IPv6, additional IPv4 can be purchased for just $1.50/month

this lol server,… i have pay but no get server… i can share screen shoot if say hoak to me
Hello,
Can you e-mail me please, here is my e-mail dustin@semoweb.com
Please provide the e-mail address you signed up with & the 2checkout sale number (I’ll see where your order is stuck at)
Bought their VPS with 2GB RAM and 2560 MB vSwap a couple of days back using the link from this article.
After logging in, I was surprised to notice 512 MB vSwap instead of the claimed 2560MB. Anyway, all I had to do was start a ticket to get the vSwap memory bumped up to the advertised value from the initial 512MB. The Support team was prompt in making the required changes and responding to the ticket.
So far, so good..
I am going to test this VPS for a quarter, with varying degrees of load (Currently using it for backup and running an instance of GitLab with a minimal LEMP stack). If the server continues to perform well, I’ll definitely consider moving important stuff over and even purchasing another VPS (Exact specs) for hosting a bunch of websites in the future.
Hello,
Glad we got this sorted for you! Welcome aboard and I know you will be very happy with our services!
DMN,
Excellent, we’re here for you 24×7!! I’m very happy that you’re enjoying the service and confident that you will continue to enjoy the level of service we provide.
We appreciate your loyalty and trust with SemoWeb!
Am i reading this right, your in a dc that sells asia premium yet performance to asia is seriously lacking…. someone screwed up some routes or just blended low for traffic to asia?
either way, purchased and see how we go. thats what a cdn is for :-)
Hello,
Incorrect, QuadraNet offers 2x types of mixes.. one being the regular premium mix and the other being Asian Optimized.. if you notice any hiccups or really require Asian Optimized we can pretty much allocate a whole /29 to you that is optimized.. you will indeed pay a higher price.. but that is only if you want Asian Optimized network and your target market is Asian..
Otherwise, you would not want to be on that network.. a little bit about the Asia Optimized Bandwidth:
Asian Optimized IP addresses allows us to make broad BGP advertisement changes
to those blocks to affect incoming and outgoing paths to correct any routing
irregularities, congestion and other negative effects that Chinese (and some
other country’s) ISP’s frequently have.
We segregated and assigned unique blocks of IP address space, so that we can
make these changes and only effect those blocks without having to force our
entire customer base to go through the route changes (which for them may then
offer less than optimal routing).
Sometimes we have to completely turn down entire transit uplinks via BGP to the
Asian Optimized IP blocks in order to correct incoming path congestion or
routing issues that the Chinese ISP’s are having at any specific time.
With our standard network, we will not do these changes as it will mean our
entire customer base will then lose access to that turned down transit uplinks
route paths. So if the client wants us to be able to provide assistance with the
frequently sub-optimal routing issues that Chinese ISP’s have, they must be
using our AO IP blocks, otherwise they need to stick it out and wait for the
Chinese ISP’s to resolve their issues on their own.
Hope that clears the confusion.
fair enough, thanks :-)

Jamitupya “my VM’s are only registering 512Vswap also”
It seems like everyone’s VM is only setup with 512 vSwap…probably because they know the majority of people probably won’t open a ticket requesting the promised vSwap. If the plan advertises 2560MB vSwap there is no excuse for it not to be setup with 2560MB vSwap.
yup, they just confirmed and updated no issues.
Customers may open a ticket and we’ll help fix it.. It’s not a matter of assuming/knowing ‘most’ customers will not open a ticket about it.. as that would be unethical. We advertise/provide a service and have no intentions of ‘ripping off’ our customers.
We’re still trying to determine why containers are being created with the lower amount of vSwap..
Nice offer…Great connectivity to Asia :)
Indeed :) Thank you!
Hello,
Is this outdated?
I got
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
Number of cores : 4
CPU frequency : 2400.119 MHz
Total amount of ram : 2048 MB
Total amount of swap : 512 MB
As mentioned, i should get 3.2 GHz and 2560 vSwap.
I badly need those two things.
I see you advice to open a ticket, i will do the same.
i will get back to you with the response
Hey,
Okay here is a update.
I spoke to customer support and now i am on proper CPU and Swap.
looks like VPS was created on wrong node.
Anyways, the issue is. how much net speed should i accept from server?
i am getting 60KBps – 200 Kbps at times.
Mayur,
It’s hard to say, as each of our nodes push different amounts of traffic as you know, so running the test on the VM will not be so accurate, should you be concerned or face any network hiccups just open a ticket. We’re here 24×7
It’s not outdated, its just a mixture of processors we place/balance orders on, if you wish to be moved to the E3-1230v2 processors just open a ticket. We’re here to help.
until when is the offer?
No expiration has been set at this time.
Waiting for a great offer like this in Florida :)
Hi Jack!
We’re actually bringing back Florida! If you’re in need, I’ll make it happen, send me an e-mail dustin@semoweb.com
Thanks!
no IPv6, no go…
Hello,
At this time IPv6 has not been implemented, we’re sorry about that.
no IPv6, no go…
I signed up yesterday for this service, it was provisioned within minutes. It is currently on a 2.4MHz box with the smaller vswap, but it looks like a simple ticket will fix this. So far it’s been rather responsive. I’ve reimaged once (changed distro) and this was near instant. I did have to reset my root password afterwards, but no biggie.
With this much ram and 4 shared cores this should meet my immediate needs, with another box in the near future. Thanks for such a great offer!
You’re very welcome! That’s right, just open a ticket and we’ll help solve any of those vSwap issues.
my VPS so slow, after migration server for upgrade VSwap 512MB to 2560MB :'{
Hello,
How can we replicate this? How are you determining this is slow? I’m really interested in solving this, please open a support ticket and also send me a e-mail at dustin@semoweb.com
Ordered on 09/04/2013 and was setup within 10-15 minutes of ordering and was very happy with the quick setup and the price paid was very good indeed BUT…. I have seen and have experience in the 4 days of having the VPS nothing but network problems and SemoWeb REFUSE to admit there is a problem and simply say there is nothing wrong on our end. I only run a Teamspeak and Killing floor server and they both become inaccessible to both USA and Europe users for 1-3 minutes downtime and then everything is fine until there next problem. The other problem has been packetloss, it’s not a big amount but it does exist but I really don’t care about the packetloss but I do care about the up-time and all I get told is to provide more information, check there control panel logs and when checking the logs, all I can see is no logs.
I do hope SemoWeb will sort out there stuff otherwise I’m taking my custom elsewhere.
So far so good, Semo are trying help me resolve the issue just waiting for the response back.
OK they have put me on a new node which seems to have solved the problem but sadly the connection to the box is shockingly bad. All my users still get packetloss on teamspeak and it can range from 0.10~2.56 which ain’t to bad but that is just with 4 people. Will see what it is like with more before I decide.
I’ve spoken with you over the phone, and yes, we are not having another other reports or unable to replicate your issues.. I strongly believe its isolated to your setup..
Please continue to work with support as needed.
We will continue to assist!
Was going to say by moving me to another Node, solved the problem :P so Thank you everyone at Semo
Can I use 100% CPU 24 hours per day? Cheers.
David,
No, you’d have to purchase a dedicated server.. with most providers CPU is ‘fair share’..
Can additional disk space be added at a later time if needed?
Hi Bret,
Certainly! Just open a sales ticket when ever you’re ready to upgrade certain resources and we’ll provide a custom quote.
Horrible network uptime. When the vps was set up it didn’t have network configured at all, had to contact support to get that done. Then constant network drops 2-3 times a day. Not just packetloss, all of the existing connections actually drop. Had some even worse yesterday, one 35 min downtime, a couple 5-15 minute ones in addition to that. Support just says that it’s all solved after each report.
There was an instance where the node seemingly ran out of memory and the software in the in the vps was failing on memory allocations. Not 100% sure and the support denies it, but that’s what it looked like to me.
All of this in four days.
In other words don’t waste your money on this.
Thanks for your reviews….. It’s helpful for me………
Hi Surge,
Please review connectivity again, you were on the same node as Andy. (the outbound abuser has been kicked off)
I appreciate you trying to fix this, but I’ve had enough and got a refund. To your credit there was no weaseling about that.
Yea I’m sorry Dustin, I feel the same as Surge, I want my money back to be honest, the VPS was awesome don’t get me wrong but having problems on the first few days of purchase makes me feel I made a bad choice. All the users who connected to the team speak hosted on the box lagged due to packet loss and I can understand abusers causing problems I really do but the packet loss exists all day long whether I was on the first VPS or the second one you setup for me. Your service would be perfect for webhosting because no one would notice much problem but when you are trying to run teamspeak and maybe a game on the box, you will notice things.
I might in the future use your service if I decide to setup another VPS for webhosting but today I just want my money back and for you to shut off the VPS.
Thank you again for your time.
About ready to ask for my money back, connection just dropped and has 45% packet loss, trying to work on the VPS only to loss connection, I personally thought by moving to another node would fix everything, nothing has changed. Getting really angry with them.

REQUESTED REFUND FOR SERVICES NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE – Having to many problems with there network .
oh
Hi Andy!
We had an abuser (outbound ddos attacker) located on the node where you resided, our sincerest apologies.
Do note, the abuser has now been removed from our network.
Hmmm… Seems like the “curse of the LEB” to me. Whenever a good sale is in progress there is always (an) abuser(s) jump in to take advantage of the new VPS.
vRozenSch00n,
Has nothing to do with LEB directly, it’s with any sale… anytime you make sales on servers/nodes you will get abusers.. that’s just guaranteed.. as the days go by we as the providers seem to find them and take them out.. once they’re gone services start leveling out as they should and everyone gets to enjoy the pie :)
Yea I happen to agree with Dustin but keeping the customer happy at the end of the day is every providers nightmare but to be honest the few days for any new client is important as for them few days the client will experience your service and if all they see are problems they will look to the provider to fix them problems if they can at least manage to fix the issues. And when the client knows even after all the hard work of the provider has failed then all the client will want to do is have a quick exit from the provider. In my experience with SemoWeb, they would for me be the perfect web hosting provider as the VPS are great. If in the future I do need another VPS for web hosting purpose and offering websites to US clients then yes I might come back to SemoWeb.
On a final note, I have been issued a full refund which makes SemoWeb a very respectable company in my eyes. So don’t be put off from getting service from them just because some of us have had bad experiences, your experience might be much better.
Thank you SemoWeb for trying your hardest, I will not forget.

Hello,
Your VPS shows ‘pending’ you do have some marked as fraud how ever it seems like you were able to sort the discrepancies, is that correct?
Hi Semoweb :D
I was a client before, I used your services as storage server for 6-12 months, as far as I can remember. I want to go back again, for dev purposes.
Anyway, how much is an additional IP again?
Thanks.
Hi Libro!
Extra IPs can be obtained at the rate of $1.50/Month per IP.. Just place your order and you can order additional IPs and should you need more just open a sales ticket.
Network was definately slow.They offered me to migrate to another node however nothing changed.I have another vps on quadranet so that i can compare.I do not expect to see 100mbps everywhere but at the end having only 10mbps and cancelled..

Can we host a Splunk indexer?
Hello Odvy,
I do not see why not, not as it not a constant resource hog I do not see any issues with it.
Hello Dustin
Please respon Ticket #204988
thanks
Hi Bugs,
I should have a resolution for you by tomorrow, we’re awaiting another allocation for that specific node.
Thanks!
Hi Bugs,
Your ticket has been responded to and resolved.
How long will this promotion last? I am expecting my tax return either today or tomorrow and would hate to have this go away prior to reciept of said return.
Drew,
Promotion should be valid for quite some time more — we’re actually pumping online new nodes tomorrow as well, we’ve been selling these like crazy :)
paid it yesterday (confirmation arrived like in 10 minutes)
didn’t get the vps working yet
still ‘Pending’ :(
Yikes. I hope my paying for this wasn’t a mistake!
^ Ignore that. I think things are getting sorted currently :D
Hi Drew,
Unfortunately we ran out of stock — we’re already deploying a few new nodes in LA to cope with the massive amount of orders this sale has generated.
I’ll issue a refund to avoid the frustration, thanks!
Hi Drew,
Thanks for the ticket, we’ve been going back and forth via the ticket.
Thanks again.
Drew,
Glad everything has been sorted :D
Unfortunately, nothing has been sorted. The response I got to the ticket was a canned response. 12+ hours to set up a VPS is pretty silly IMO.
I signed up with a different LEB provider and the account was set up before I could even check my email to get the account information.
I requested a refund, but got the same canned response: “Thanks for writing in to us today, I will have our supervisor to assist you further with your request, there may be a delay in getting back to you as it goes into their queue.”
Ticket # is 150337
For the record, the VPS on SemoWeb still has not been set up. I would rather not go through the hassle of contacting my debit card account manager about this…
Hi Dan!
Do you have a ticket for me?
Yes I do sir, Ticket #489135
I’m very glad I’ve finally got my vps online
(but) it is located in kansas
and my route with it is awful
although the latency is low, time to time there are several packet losses
[but] it is [not] quadranet’s fault!
I wish I could have some other location to connect
Dan,
Everything appears completed/resolved with your trouble ticket.
Hello
Please respon Ticket #204988
thanks
Hi Bugs,
I should have a resolution for you by tomorrow, we’re awaiting another allocation for that specific node.
Thanks!
Hi Bugs,
Your ticket has been responded to and resolved.
I have to say that despite some great reviews here, I’m a little disappointed with my service with SemoWeb so far. I purchased the LEB Special last night and now, almost 24 hours later, my order is still pending. I sent in a support ticket to find out how long it would take to get my account online and recieved a response almost immediately telling me my request was being elevated to a supervisor without actually addressing my question. So kudos on the 24/7 tech support and the speedy reply, but it would have been nice if the representative had at least attempted to address my issue. I’m not dead in the water yet, but I am very displeased, and we’ll see what the next few hours brings. Disappointed.
Mike,
Our sincerest apologies, we’re actually short on inventory and have new node(s) coming online to cope with the sales, your patience is appreciated.
Feel free to e-mail me directly as well at dustin@semoweb.com
Thanks for responding, Dustin. It’s nice to have someone actually address my issue rather than send a canned template response. I am still rather annoyed with the fact that there was no attempt made to explain that there might be a delay when I ordered, or a twitter update on your feed that said you were waiting on new hardware, but thanks all the same.
Hi Mike,
I’ll work with the team to make sure this does not happen again, just so you know we have released the new gear and are deploying and responding to every ticket.
Thanks again.
Ticket 180862 – paid invoice yesterday 8 AM, still pending as of right now – roughly 37 hours.
VPS is up, but ping keeps timing out, come on now, on a project deadline here.
Hi Will,
Please open a ticket in regards to the ‘timing out’.. this is a newly deployed node, this should not be happening what so ever.. nor on existing occupied nodes..
Order this VPS but i only have 512MB vSwap, already place a ticket #401888. Need help to solve this
Hello Yulita!
Alex just completed the assigned task.
Your business is appreciated.
Thanks Dustin .. so far this VPS so goooddd…
Can i change the payment term for this VPS ?
Yulita,
Certainly, just open a billing ticket and we can assist!
Thank you again, your feedback is appreciated.
oh my bad, the geoip was wrong. it is really located in Los Angeles!
awesome VPS!
Hi Dan!
Perfect, let us know if we can help with anything. We’re staffed 24/7!
Hi Dastin,
May you explain about this statement? “NO Price Increases — Lock yourself in!”
Thanks
Hi Donald,
Certainly, this simply means that no price increases will ever occur, you pretty much ‘lock’ in the savings! Of course if you decide to cancel and the promotion is expired you can no longer obtain the pricing again.
This is also a month-to-month service, meaning you can cancel at anytime should you wish.
I am really happy with them so far. My server was quickly availabe after I ordered. VSwap was 512MB. A ticket to increase the swap was quickly replied and managed. I am on a machine with E5620 @ 2.4Ghz processor. It’s sufficient for me.

Hello,
Have you opened a support ticket? I’m eager to review/resolve this!
when my vps active???
my Invoice #952097
Hi Ali,
Your service shows activated, please let me know if you have any questions.
Buyer beware – they’re providing less than advertised. I got 4×2.4GHz instead of 4×3.2GHz, and 512MB instead of 2560MB VSWAP. Opened a support ticket; they increased the VSWAP in a couple hours, but have not fixed the CPU (yet).
Hello,
We can create you a new VPS if you’d like with faster cores, though I would like to say the machine you’re on is a DUAL E5620 Quad Core (as we only have 2x different proc’s offered) — so a DUAL Quad Core with 8x Physical Cores + 8x Logical Cores TOTAL 16x Cores, I’d say you’re on a strong machine which is perfect for virtualization.. none the less, e-mail me dustin@semoweb.com and I’ll gladly move you.
