Howdy everyone. We look forward to sharing our latest promotion with the LowEndBox community and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you all may have.
Locations other than US please 🙂
We’ve got several locations outside of the US with more to come, however this promotion is only for our locations with excess stock. Keep an eye on LEB and LET for future promotions that include our other locations. =]
What locations most interest you? Open up a sales ticket and see if we can accommodate your needs.
LUX and ICE may be interested 🙂
I contact support two times before,and they cannot help with yearly offers for LUX and ICE Also I just have no idea why they also two times provide me a wrong NY location with the same IP range instead requested LA and IL..
Whats your ticket number?
MannDude – any plans for Australian locations? Been using you guys for a while and really happy with your services but would love to get some servers on my side of the world. Even maybe some in southern Asia?
cheers
Aaron
Hi,
I see the test IPs, only one is Colocrossing but the other DC’s Colocrossing use so are you using Colocrossing for all those locations too?
Not all locations are with ColoCrossing, that is correct. We only operate a few locations with them.
Billing Cycle is $13,why?
Hi mymon, thank you for your interest in URPad! You can order the VPS for $12/YR using the promo code: L3BK1W1
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Also, some of you will be very happy to know that we’ll be offering services in Miami, Florida later today! We’ll be extending the 2GB RAM VPS promotion in our new Miami location later today and it will automatically be added as an option during checkout once it becomes available.
I would recommend you all to stay away from these oversold servers. Their TOS also states that they offer no refunds.
Go with something a little bit more serious.
I wanted to give my thoughts on this… I have two VPS’s with them and haven’t had any problems that past year and a half I’ve had them. As to getting something more serious…. for me, I just needed a place to put a few casual websites but with more freedom than shared hosting services at the cheapest price. It isn’t the best service ever but you get what you pay for, right? Honestly, if my server were to go down for an hour or two, it wouldn’t be the end of the world for what I use it for. But like I said, I haven’t had any problems. Just saying.
very good ha-ha
Before I bought it. But I also want to buy … And I would recommend it to friends
This promotion is available for existing customers as well, not just new ones. Glad to see you’re happy with your service!
Just ordered my third vps with these guys (>_<)
Never had any problems~ URPad rocks !
Thanks for your input! It’s very much appreciated!
Hello. Just wanted to point out that the description for 2K13SSD states $6.95 a month whereas the order page lists $7.95 a month. Thanks.
Hi there. This is because this promotion requires a coupon code.
Be careful with this one if you store anything important on your vps thats not backed up every hour. They may suspend your service and refuse to provide logs or anything to backup their clams.
competitors always tries to bring down Urpad, Jealous, I guess…
Hello URPad!
I see what you did there 😉
Hey Taylor,
Care to provide a ticket # so that I may look into this? If you were suspended wrongly or treated in an unfair manner this is something we need to investigate.
Thanks.
The account was deleted, I will look through emails and get back to you when time allows.
Well, we don’t delete accounts. Even if you were suspended or terminated your account would still be available.
Hi , going to purchase 2K13 $12/YR. have geenrated the invoice but when going to pay from moneybookers it says recipient is no more receving the paymetns . what is the next way to purcahse coz my card is added only on moneybookers.
Please open a billing ticket and we’ll get this sorted out for you.
Thanks!
I would recommend people to stay away from this awful company. Bad uptime, Bad service.
Just don`t.
Do you have any Ticket ID’s for I can look into your claimed issues?
Hello Marcus,
Do you have any ticket ID’s for I can look into your claimed issues?
Thanks,
Chris.M
Agree with you 100%, rude support team, suspended me for running a gameserver and refused a refund under the distance selling regulations.
Joe, drop your distance selling regulations bit. Just like how the dmca is irrelevant in the UK.. so is the distance selling regulation in the USA. Instead of slandering the company here why don’t you bring it up with the office of fair trading in the UK which deals with the DSR.. let’s see what they say to you.. By the way you haven’t answered my riddle. what does 1+1=?
would be happy to be a customer but sadly , no irc is allowed 🙁
I think its for web hosting, i have irc clients (znc) installed on my server and never get any notice from them. But now that you say so, i will read term again 🙂
This is correct. No IRC.
cannot pay it by paypal?
I have purchased successfully through PayPal
May be something wrong with my PAYPAL account……
Still experiencing this issue? You may wish to try again or try a different payment method if available to you.
urpad payment is very poor, …..
Just with the bad payment 2checkout….
I got two of the $12/yr ones last November (on nodes “Easy” and “Zulu”) to host some simple (mix of static and dynamic) sites for friends and family, and the occasional ssh tunnel when I’m on public wifi. So far there’s only been one incident around mid-December where connection to the Easy node was flimsy (tested from several locations). Though support did not provide much information on the reason, it was resolved in ~12 hours. Everything has been smooth since.
I/O is around 80-110 MB/s depending on time of day. I would say their AUP is a bit restrictive (no irc/games/p2p/adult), but if you just want to host mid-/low-traffic websites, $12/yr is great.
IPv6 is coming soon: https://twitter.com/URPad/status/268116269318934528

(PS: The TOS link in the post is missing a http)
Danke, Herr!
Lol, what else were you expecting for 12$/year?
As far as my needs are concerned, the AUP is fine. I was simply pointing out for others. I don’t know what your problem is.
Just to clarify, we do allow legal adult content in most our locations. Other than that, yes, you are correct. No IRC/Game Servers/p2p.
Maybe the TOS needs an update then?
“Examples of unacceptable material on VPS/RDP/Dedicated servers include: […] any material that, in our judgment, could be considered adult content, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.”
My Urpad is always up from the time I bought it last cybermonday.
Awesome! Glad to see that!
Got a blank screen after clicking order – clicked it again but it appears to have gone through twice.
Just a note for anyone else as its annoying – had to submit a ticket now and causes hassle.
We recently dumped Apache and switched our billing/support panel over to Nginx. It appears that what you described has happened a couple times before. It’s rare, but we’re aware of the issue and are working to get this corrected to prevent it. It’s a minor inconvenience but it’s still an inconvenience and for that we apologize.
No problem at all, I’m all paid and done now so looking forward to the provision of my service 😀
It should have been created automatically after payment was made. Whats your order number? I’ll sort this out for you right now.
My invoice number was:
124221
Many thanks.
I can’t reply directly to your most recent response, however I see your order was indeed paid for and has now been setup. Your details on how to connect to your new VPS have been emailed to you. Apologies for the delay!
I’ve seen good performance from my Urpad VPS’s and their support has been quick and more accommodating than some providers.
It’s funny; I just had my first downtime (1.5 hrs) with them shortly after they posted this ad. The VPS are back online now but it wasn’t planned maintenance as far as I know.
Hey there Kris,
I must of came online after this outage as I’ve yet to see any reports of it via the ticket queue. I’m glad that your service has treated you well thus far however, and if you ever need anything please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Is tor access permitted (assuming within the AUP)?
Hey there George,
Unfortunately we’re not allowing TOR access. While we support online privacy we need to keep ourselves protected from some of the bad things that can and have happened to providers allowing TOR. I hope you understand.
My VPS un 2 minutes, Amazing and very good performance…
When you have a Windows vps promo?
Hopefully sooner than later. We’re awaiting some new hardware for new Windows nodes. I’ll have to check about that.
Got services in Texas and Iceland, nothing but good to say, no issues at all with performance or support.
Woop woop! Glad to see you’re happy Lee. If you ever need anything, you know how to reach us.
Could you provide test download files, please?
Hello! is VPN and file hosting Allowed? 🙂 (BOTH will be password protected and secured/blocked from public access)
This is for the yearly plan that is 🙂
Hey Mostafa,
You won’t have a problem with running what you described. Using your VPS as a VPN or for legal file hosting is okay. Please let us know if you have any other concerns.
Nice offer guys, well done!
Thanks!
please make SSD plan in LA
please close Invoice:124210
Hi there, consider it done.
For those reading and wondering what this was about: A duplicate service was created for him upon checkout so I removed the duplicated service/invoice.

How long this offer and coupon are gonna last? Think I’ll need a vps in a week or so.
It should still be active then. If not, please open up a sales ticket and link me to this comment. =]
very cheap
Hi customer from the Urpad $12 VPS here,
As for me I’m really happy, the technical support is really fast (but not the billing support, well if you consider a day of waiting to be slow…), performance is good, all in all a good purchase (And I will order a new one for other need probably).
The only minor problem though is the low number of different OS, not turnkey or other interesting stuff.
The Ubuntu server 12.04 is also a bit bloated unfortunately, so be sure to turn off samba and other unnecessary service if you install it because it can bring your server down. The reason is that asian bot try to enter your server by brute force, and so ‘DDOS’ you via Samba (It’s not Urpad specific mind you, I have friends in France and Belgium having the same problem). So, you might want to fail2ban and max the jail time.
And/or you can install a Debian 6 minimal (available). Work great but when they say ‘minimal’ they mean it, so be prepared to install thing like vim and sudo…
*install fail2ban

Can I get RHEL5 or CentOS, or are the Linux systems limited ti Debian and Ubuntu?
Nevermind; I clicked on the order link and was able to see a list of Unix OS options. For the record, as of this writing they have a few versions of CentOs, Debian, and Ubuntu.
Hi,
URPAD Representatives, this time you are providing 20 GB Disk Space with 256 MB Plan where as we got 15 GB. Wouldn’t we get the increasement ??
Warm Regards,
Nagib Mahfuz
I asked that, and they said MO.
Mo-> No
Nodes change, hardware gets better as does capacity, it is not always possible to offer old customers the same deals as new ones, I am sure they could possibly do it but the disk space given at the time of the deal would have been based on the capacity at the time, in order to upgrade old customers they would need to migrate your VPS/ probably change IP too which would cause you down time and them hassle.
🙂
Picked up a $12 deal, instant activation on payment and it has been running like a champ for over 24 hours. Snappy response times across the board. Disk IO and network tests were surprisingly good as well. Definitely seems to be a good buy. If anything comes up in the next few months I will post it here, at least everything is off to a great start (can’t always say that based on experience with other LEB deals).
Thanks for the kind words, glad to see you’re happy with your service so far. If you ever need anything please don’t hesitate to open a ticket.
Regards.
I’m more used for NY VPS (east cost) can some people post some EU connectivity tests ?
If you picked up a $12 account can you run that :
wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O . -o /dev/null|bash
(or wget the script first with -O somefile, open it to see what it does if you’re the paranoid type, then run it)
I have a total of 3 VPS’s with them. One $12 deal and two $19 Deal. Among them, I got 1 Gbit connectivity on $19 Deals 😉
Quite Nice Performance. I will post the benchmarks later.
Hey there, glad to see your happy. Looking forward to the benchmarks.
That was one time when Kevin Hillstrand used to reply here. And now you. Yet, I have good wishes for you.
i was About ordering but am kind of stock i hate monthly billing, why cant you accept a year payment or are you afraid of closing down, i dont want excess service charge on me. i prefer year subscription
The 256 MB plan is on yearly basis. Only 1GB plan is here monthly. But, I hope you can pay for a year also !
Hi there,
We have some yearly deals available, however if you wish to prepay for a year you may open a ticket with us and we’ll get you sorted out. We’ve been around for years and have no plans on going anywhere soon. =]
Thanks for your interest.
SUSPENDED ME FOR RUNNING GAMESERVER, THEN REFUSED A REFUND. UNDER THE DISTANCE SELLING REGULATIONS, THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME A REFUND EVEN IF I CHANGE MY MIND WITHIN THE FIRST 7 DAYS FROM PAYMENT – I ASKED FOR A REFUND WITHIN THOSE 7 DAYS THEY SAID NO. They then started to threaten me when I said I was going to report them.
Horrible company, fast but RUDE support team.
Whats your ticket number so that I can look into this?
As stated on their TOS
“Gameservers (e.g., Minecraft) are prohibited on our servers due with the level of CPU abuse we’ve seen originating from them.”
My opinion is if you have broke the TOS, then you are not entitled to a refund.
What? What happens if the company you purchase from is not in the UK? (For example URPad)
Glad you are suspended, hope they terminate you forever…
You use of all caps shows your I.Q level. Joe i’ll give you a vps free of charge if you can answer me this riddle. 1+1=?
2 !
Can I have it ? ^^
😛 you gave away the answer! bad bad bad
Had a 4GB VPS of these, support was quite rude to me, and also wouldn’t give me a refund because I was running ONE minecraft server, so then I decided to host a voice server, which wasn’t the best of quality, and also random downtimes.
Hi Adam,
We’ve been cussed out before, and we still don’t resort to rudeness in our messages. If you have a ticket #, I’d like to look this up because. I have to disagree with you and say that I highly doubt any of our staff was rude to you in a ticket.
