Back on topic,
When i used urpad the server was speedy , only issue i had was I/O @ 38MB/s but i was told 30MB/s + was acceptable for budget VM’s.
So I would recommend them.
Thanks Jack, we have made improvements to our servers since you’ve used our service and our clients easily achieve over 80MB/s + now
Here is the result from one of our busy/full nodes in Los Angeles
Thanks, Jack.
Its good to have you in the community.

I’ve got my box just a couple of days, good CPU and IO (~70MB/s), and very fast network speed.
Recommended!
I would have to say I agree with you- My LA server with them has been fast, support is very courteous and friendly.
Rob
Thank you for choosing URPad.net and we appreciate the kind words
Just signed up and I must say I am enjoying the service so far. Kevin was very friendly and walked me through the order process, and answered my questions over the phone this morning. Got my VM container instant/auto setup right after I ordered .
I wish I have found Urpad sooner. I’m hoping that I can order another one in another location tomorrow, am eager to try out the Europe one !! Thanks Urpad and Kevin for the help.
Thanks
Dan
I have not experienced downtime so far. If they can keep it up then this offer is just perfect!
Thanks Dan, I remember speaking with you and its been a pleasure, if you need anything please be sure to let us know, we are available 24×7 via phone, email, and help desk! Additionally to answer your other question, yes you may order another one, there is no limit to how much you can order.
Thanks for choosing URPad.net
Best,
Kevin
PPTP and tuntap enabled?
Yes we can enable both for you!
I have had intermittent severe disk slowdowns since I signed up 4 months ago, and their Java serial console hasn’t ever worked. Had to submit 3 times to get rDNS set. Seems like technically they are not on top of it. I’ll be leaving urpad and would suggest you avoid them for now.
Hello Bob,
I searched your name and came up with no resultes in our system or anything close to your name do you have a ticket ID for I can research your issue.
Thanks,
Chris
Disk slow. Been like this intermittently the whole time:
The IO of mine is at ~50MB/s, it sometimes goes up and down a little bit. Not sure if they will do some improvement. Otherwise, every thing is just fine, their network speed is extremely good, to eastbound and Asian countries, compared with other providers in CA.
today signed up for this plan, speed is good
waiting for the kloxo and firewall setup, then will install sites
if you are looking for West Coast hosting then this is one of the best offers so far; stable and fast, both cpu speed and network speed, particularly to Asian countries.
got it all setup, up and running
kevin installed firewall and hardened my server, thanks
great so far !!

I am a client of urpad.net and have VPS nodes in dallas, los angeles and newyork. Here is a brief overview of my opinions of this company.
My first issue: I ordered my first vps in the dallas location. This server was SLOW as all get out. I requested the server to be moved to a different node in the dallas location via a support ticket. I was told I was being transferred blah blah blah and anyway after over 24 hours of waiting the issue got resolved. I will piggy back more on the support later.
Second issue: I acquired a server in the newyork location and didn’t like the server or the specific location it was in. Wasn’t a day after I ordered I inquired about getting my VPS for this location refunded and credited towards my account. Kevin responded to me very bluntly and pretty much said I agreed to the terms and the terms say no refunds. Now this was after I was transferred from one department to another through their ticket system and after my horrendous wait to have my dallas node moved to a different server. I understand they can’t refund everyone that doesn’t like their vps’ but hey, I figured I have multiple VPS’ and they had a slow response with my last problem so they might cut me some slack. They didn’t.
Thirdly is their support: They claim they have a 30 minute response time, which they do. Their 30 minute response time is this guy named Dylan that answers everyone of my tickets but never solves them or even answers them. What this guy does is transfers them to a different department, which can take hours and hours to get a response from. Their online chat is the EXACT same way, I attempted using this to gain support about relatively easy issues and was asked “are you a client” and when I said yes I was told to put in a ticket. I found myself lying and telling them no just to gain support.
All in all I wish urpad was the right place for me. All I asked was for a measly $5.99 credited to my account for a server I wasn’t satisfied with and they couldn’t help me. Support is pretty horrid in my experience but I guess you get what you pay for pans out for this situation. I am still a client with urpad at this time.
By the sounds of it, your not happy with our service, so why are you still with us? 🙂 This puzzles me.
You kept submitting sales/billing requests into the support department, which was why Dylan or another technician might of forwarded/transferred it to a different department. Why would we hire a tech just for forwarding tickets, your assumption makes absolutely no sense. Its because you submitted billing issues into the support department, which is extremely unprofessional and doesn’t allow us to streamline our work flow. Try submitting a ticket to support with an actual technical question, not a billing issue if you wish to test our techs… that’s what “Techs” are for.. “technical” support NOT “billing” support.
Sounds like your unhappy with us because you failed to comprehend and read our TOS. Sorry it has to be this way, wishing you the best in the future.
Best,
Kevin
Don’t fault a company for following their own Terms of Service. As for the support ticket response times, keep in mind these are LEBs. Anything less than 24 hours for a non urgent ticket (such as a VPS downtime) is perfectly fine.
Just ordered one in New York, its the closest location to me personally. Got the details in my email instantly after I ordered.
Server performance seems to be very good, and Dennis from tech support was fast to enable some modules on my box. To be precise, they enabled the modules in 7 minutes after I sent in the ticket, not too shabby at all considering its about 2AM and a weekend.
Keep up the good work Urpad.
Welcome aboard!
I agree with you there Curtis. Today, I have been with them for exactly 2 Months and I am still a very happy customer.
Here is a quick run down
Support: 10/10 (Phone support is very helpful, email/ticketing is also very fast and detailed)
Server Performance/Speed: 9/10 (This would be 10/10 if they were 1Gbit, they have 100Mbit but its a $6 VPS so its reasonable enough)
Sales Support: 10/10 (Kevin was very helpful when I called in for upgrade/addon questions)
As long as this quality service continues and I remain happy, you have just gained a customer for life guys. Thanks!!!
Thanks for your review! We appreciate your kind words.
Kevin Hillstrand,
I have cancelled my services for 2 months and consecutively 2 months you are invoicing me. What is going wrong~!! . Last month I thought probably an error and is just 5.99 so i couldnt be bothered. Now again!
I demand for a 2 months fund. I have already printed screened my invoices as well as my cancelled vps.
Please give me a reasonable explanation
LOL! Why you paid for no service that month? XDDDDD
Yomero, I am too lazy to argue of a small mistake. So i let it be the last month, but this thing has to be stopped and i believe i have all the right to demand for a refund.
Kevin if you see this could you please get back to me soon. tq
THIS IS THE 2ND DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE REPLY MY MAIL

I demand for a refund!!!!!
Best regards,
Kelvin
Kelvin;
My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. Its possible you didn’t cancel your subscription recurring charge.
Please send me a form of identification, such as invoice ID, client ID, or a previous ticket ID so I can locate your account and refund any incorrect charges and disable recurring subscriptions for you.
I appreciate your time.
Best,
Kevin

If you are planning for any preventive measures it would be easier for us to enable the server back.
And they have suspended my account due to high connections.
can anyone give me the solution of how to solve it??please
Their details and specs look very attractive, but I would suggest staying away from them. Non-existent customer service, poor attitude as others have noted, premature closure of tickets with no solutions, poor refund policy. There are many choices out there, some with much more technically interested folks.
Ahh, I found the VPS i bought a few months back. Very good.
But I was wondering, is this package still available? But to extend the bandwidth to 1 TB?
Also, this is CentOs?
