Are you still provisioning accounts on IceLand & have started at Miami Location ??
Our Iceland nodes are all locked and pending new stock. Miami has been online for a couple days now, we’ll be posting a WHT and LET thread later promoting this location!
Just wanted to make a quick observation here since Liam is incorrect.
Many providers offer the $12/year offer with the same amount of resources.
Also, the whole no game server and IRC thing is a big turnoff, go with someone that offers this as it shows they are more stable and know how to control their nodes.
Frank..ly you lack knowledge in this environment.
I don’t think so. Frank’s words are somewhat true. Bcz, ChicagoVPS allows GameServer/IRC and many more company’s. So, what’s your opinion ?
My opinion is just that. You can’t say a company doesn’t know what is it doing because it doesn’t provide a service. It’s ridiculous to say such a thing.
It’s kinda like saying company A. is crap because they don’t provide dedicated servers. Or doesn’t provide xen, or doesn’t provide exchange server, or doesn’t provide etc…
So the whole no irc gameservers is a turn off for him/her. fine leave it at that, don’t buy it. But to go on saying that a company doesn’t know what it is doing because they don’t provide a service.. is well.. Oo
Hence why I replied with “Frank..ly you lack knowledge in this environment.” and if you can’t understand why that reply, I’ll waste no more of your time. 🙂
We don’t allow game servers BECAUSE we want you to offer a solid and stable service. We don’t wish to cater to that market, instead we focus on providing a consistently stable and reliable service without allowing DDoS and abuse magnets such as IRC and Game Servers to be your neighbors on our node. Sure, other providers offer them. That’s fine. They’ll probably have more gray hair on their head before we do. =]
We are using the same VPS rented from URPad nearly for a year (Registration Date: 02/20/2012), we haven’t had any problems. I can recommend URPad.
Thanks for your comments!

Do you plan to add IPv6 support?
We sure do. Not sure on the ETA, but yes, we do plan on adding IPv6 support.
I had ordered one VPS from them and stunned by the performance of the vps when comparing with the previous vps i had with other hoster.
And i went on ordering another high end vps with them. Contacted their live chat , they help me a lot in support and finally i placed ordered with them.
I should say that the vps speeds are awesome and in 100mbps port I get download speed of 80mbps where i get 10mbps in other providers of same 100mbps port.
There is a little confusion in your words. As on 100 Mbit Port, you should get 12.5 MBPS of Speed (according to 100 Mbit / 8 = 12.5 MBPS). So, around 10 MBPS is that you are paying for. But, if you are luckily provisioned on a 1 Gbit Ported Node, then you should get 125 MBPS of Speed (according to 1000 Mbit / 8 = 125 MBPS). So, here you are getting 80 MBPS. I was lucky in 2 of my VPS and got 1 Gbit Port Connectivity so I get there 40-60 MBPS and sometime 100+ MBPS. But, on other VPS at LA, I got 100 Mbit Port and that’s why always get around 10 MBPS. I hope this can make you clear.
Thats what i belive too. But they said i am on 100mbps port. But i get download speed of 80mbps.
These are the results http://prntscr.com/uhkw6
But i am not going to stay with them as they are turning of my vps as i am getting more visitors to my site. Which cause many concurrent access.
And they said that they won’t allow more than 1500 connection per ip but i get more than 7000+ .
So they turned off two of my nodes and I got dedicated with another provider and I am good now.
If you have big site which gets more visits then dont have vps with them as they will urge you to get dedicated server.
And i am with them just for 2 days and am going to ask for refund. If they are good they will do.
If you have paid via PayPal, then they may not refund. However, you are lucky that they said you 1500 connection per IP. But, when they turned off my VPS, they told me 900 per IP. But, as far I checked the log, it was only about 500. 🙁
So this is how they treating with every one. I had 3$ vps with 123systems.net and they are good and they allow as many connection and they have never done such things. I must stay with them. But i feel for migrating to urpad.net
Never ever am going to use urpad again and won’t recommend them to any one.
This is how they claiming http://prntscr.com/uib8d
I knew it because they won’t give you refunds. They have a hosting brand named “K-Disk.net”. Once I bought their hosting and there was written of unconditional 30 Days Refund Policy. But, I hadn’t been given that. Bcz, 2CO charges them $10 for refunds. So, how can they make refund ?? But, they should give this. They sells at very cheap price but with their large area of restrictions, we can’t use it properly. Can you give anu email id to contact with you, Siddharth ?? Mine is support@ehostlab.com
~~~~(>_<)~~~~ . Most of my website traffic is from Asian customers. Don't know why recent tracert often timed out……
Which location are you setup in? Have you submitted a ticket?
Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Not very stable.I am not submit a ticket. Because. recently was stable. O(∩_∩)O~
BE CAREFULL. THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER. There is no instructions on how to make the FTP work, and IT DOESNT works. So you end without being able to upload files. And guess what? If you ask about the question, he answers that this is a “unmanaged host, no support”.
NICE SCAMM. Stay away from this loser.
Mont Mor. It’s a VPS. If you want ftp you set it up yourself on the server that YOU manage. If you want pre enabled ftp then you don’t want a VPS – you need to buy hosting.
Aaron i wouldn’t worry to much about Mont mor, why? you may ask, because Mont mor doesnt know how to set up ftp! That’s why. On top of not knowing how to set up ftp, Mont mor also doesn’t know how to use a search engine to look up how to set up an ftp.
In other words…. Mont mor is a loser who flunked out of school, as nothing better to do with his time other than slander a company which put Mont mor in his/her place.
Grow up Mont mor, and if you’re already a grown up.. get a life.
Ha ha ha. I think someome will pay you some bucks to stay him from LEB.
I can set you a FTP server up if you can’t do it yourself it’s just a matter of 5 mins ^^
LOL @ This guy. This is what he sent us in a ticket:
“Sure,
So you are a tipical scammer, eh? There are not any instructions on FTP, and it doesnt work. So I cannot use anything.
Nice scamm.
How is that? To be a so low fucking assole to livre from tiny roberies?
Just put your mother in the street corner, you son of a bitch. Maybe you’ll make more money.
Drop dead. Loser.”
In hindsight, I should of TERMINATED you immediately. But I’m a nice guy. I understand that you obviously are in over your head, and that an unmanaged service is not for you. I kindly responded to your RUDE and abusive ticket with a very kind, sensible response:
“Hi there,
Please keep in mind that you have signed up for an UN-managed VPS, not a managed VPS. You can connect using Filezilla using your server IP address as the host, and your root details as the username/password. Please use port 22 to connect via sFTP. Since you have subscribed to an unmanaged VPS plan, it should be understood that the best we can do for you with requests like this is point you in the right direction. The documentation on Linux virtual servers are very detailed, with many resources available to those who may not be familiar with Linux VPSes, but who are willing to learn. Google is your best friend when it comes to learning how to manage a Linux VPS.
If you do not change your attitude, we will terminate you immediately. We are not a ‘scam’, we provide services to thousands of very happy customers. Please be more respectful when communicating with our support staff. If you would like a free VPS control panel to help you manage your VPS, then we will be happy to offer you a free install of either Kloxo, Webmin, or zPanel so that you may more easily operate your VPS.
All the best,”
The offer still stands for us to install a control panel for you. But if you have any crazy outburst again, you’re gone. We love our customers, but not when they act like how you were acting. Sorry. Though you’re still an active client and have been given a second chance to act like a decent human being. I’m more than happy to assist you the best I can and point you in the proper direction of being setup.
Lmao!
lol nice
Those people are fun imo ^^
I have seen this type of user for the first time ever ! A Big LOL for him 😛
Dear wannabe hoster…
FACT IS: The IP you rent to me, DOES NOT WORK: 198.23.246.132
NOT FOR PUTTY…. AND DOES NOT EVEN ANSWER FOR PING…
So, YES, or YOU ARE A SCAMMER, OR A TOTAL INCOMPETENT.
AND BTW, YES, I WANT MY MONEY BACK…
AND DROP DEAD
ssh root@198.23.246.132
The authenticity of host ‘198.23.246.132 (198.23.246.132)’ can’t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 23:9d:60:d8:2c:2c:32:42:20:7e:38:c0:c0:83:44:6c.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
It’s working here. I believe you have been updated via ticket as well.
With all do respect, I think you should seek anger management.
Yeah, sometime I also have this problem. It’s your Local ISP’s Internet Connection’s problem as of me.
OK,
FINALLY IS WORKING!
ONE POINT: I WONT NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT IF NOBODY GETS ME ANGRY.
SECOND POINT: YOUR KLOXO IS INSTALLING BOTH BIND + TINYDPS AND THEY ARE IN CONFLICT. MY DNS (NAMED) ONLY WORKED WHEN I MANUALLY UNINSTALLED TINYDPS. THATS IT.
I’m glad to hear your issue resolved.
None of the plans makes any mention of CPU allocation. How much CPU are we getting? Does the 2GB plan offer a larger fraction of the hardware CPU than the 256MB plan? What about the other plans on your web site?
Hi there, all plans include fair share use of 4 CPU cores. =]
Sold out on 256M plan ?
Do you plan to restock on east coast ?
We received many many orders of the 256MB plan and had to go ahead and stop the promotion. It was a very popular plan that we hope to offer again in the future.
Our East Coast locations have decent stock at this current time, our Buffalo location is almost out of stock however we just launched a brand new node in our new Florida location (Quadranet DC) so we will have stock there for atleast a week or so.
Thanks for your interest!
yeah, wow! I really like the look of the 2gb VM deal but a few issues!
Firstly, the test IP on the page form for ordering is wrong for LA, I had toe mail support and they gave me 98.143.159.202.
I live in Australia, but VM’s here are exe ++ so need something west coast. Looking at their LA POP. I started pinging this and doing a few trace routes from a few locations…..
Pings worked from all locations, come back 5minutes later
No pings work, then some pings work (I am testing from 3 ISPs here to see results and traceroutes).
Right now, 2x pings work from Optus and Telstra but another one from Exetel (Local ISPs) do not work.
I have hit up their suppor again but not a good look!
The one that is failing, seems to stop in NZ
# traceroute 98.143.159.202
traceroute to 98.143.159.202 (98.143.159.202), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

Hello,
You offer look very interesting. I want to use it as a VPN, but can I use iptables to forward all the data from my vpn network to “outside”?
The kernel has iptables modules enabled?
Hi what is the diference between VPS Windows and RDP Windows services. Thanks 😀
Hi, when this coupon will expire?
hi, i have buy a $12 VPS last year, It’s OK, but there payment is not good ):
It seems the Promo: L3BK1W1 don’t work.
The promotion code entered has expired
Any have a new promo code?
Snapped one of these up a couple of months ago and have been using it mainly as a PPTP server with a Mikrotik RouterBoard connected to it. Network speed and uptime are outstanding, reinstalls are instant on the SSD disk. At $12/year, this is without doubt the best LEB I have ever had.

Hi, I ordered one of these servers a while ago, very quick set up, happy enough with the performance.
However, I have a number of concerns relating to security:
My chosen passwords were emailed back to me in plain text!!!!
Fair enough, according to the header the mail was sent TLS encrypted and should therefore be safe in transit, but I don’t really want my mail hoster reading my system passwords :S
So I had to change them straight away.
There appears to be a problem with certain subdomains on urpad.net which mean the urls default to insecure. If I edit them to include a https at the beginning the code in the page seems to override this and the page ends up insecure. I’m not sure yet if the credentials are transmitted clear but sensitive personal data ends up being transmitted in clear text in the client area pages.
As it stands I can’t really be confident about using this VPS for anything I need to be fairly secure.
Hopefully these issues can be addressed satisfactorily…
After contacting urpad support this was all resolved quickly and satisfactorily!!
Thanks to all for getting this fixed.
As I said before I was very happy with the speed of provision and the performance of the VPS – now I can add that I am also very happy with the support provided.
Chris
Terrible sales support, been 5 days since i paid still no account setup…….
Just a quick update, finally have login details. Slow unstable wouldnt recommend….
I’ve tried at least four different providers advertised on this website in the last couple years. Two of them just quit without warning and I lost my money and data. Urpad, though, has been very stable for me. Since they have been around for five years I feel like I can trust them not to go out of business tomorrow. The uptime hasn’t been a problem and the speed is usually great. A few times when I have had a problem I opened a ticket and they were quick to respond and solve it. I plan to continue using them. They have my high recommendation.
