So, you only have OpenVZ, no XEN or KVM plans?
Hi Asim how are you doing today?
We have XEN-HVM plans at our parent company see link below
http://www.ftnhosting.net/windows-vps/
Even though it says Windows we should be able to load any Linux template for you upon request since it’s XEN HVM. Have an awesome weekend.
Best,
Kevin
Thanks for letting me know. I will wait for XEN/KVM lowend packages on urpad.net because your parent company are a bit on the expensive side
Hi Asim,
Okay no problem. Just so you know, I wouldn’t hold your breathe on a XEN/KVM release on the URPad brand as nothing is planned at the present time. However we will keep that in mind and hopefully be able to start offering that in the future.
Thanks for your understanding :)
Best,
Kevin
Anyone having past experience with them?
Yes, I purchased a special offer two months ago, support was really good and the machine is stable.
Thanks Rayan! Thanks for your trust and business.
Hello,
I got a lowend VPS yearly package about more than 2 months ago, found them at WHT. Their support very well and Didn’t have any issues at all. The server was up anytime as far as i know (don’t use any monitoring)
To urpad.net: I got from Houston. Do you offer lowend at another location? I would like to buy.
Thanks
Just Purchased. I’ll make a review with 48 hours:)!
Awesome! Welcome aboard ;)
Best,
Kevin
I think ur is stable :)
Thank you!
Hi need xen pv plan
Thanks Mr. z.
Maybe in the future, at the present time we do not have XEN-PV planned but will have that kept in mind.
Best,
Kevin
Not bad :)!
Thanks for sharing, nice to see some awesome results! Take care.
I have been using URPad.net for ~10 months now and I must say it is solid hosting for the price, the only down time I have experienced is when they moved their hosting datacenter from Orlando -> Seattle, which was communicated to me clearly and well in advanced.
Benches:
Thanks Josh. Nice to see vindication ;-)
There will be no more moves – it seems like you are one of our long time customers who signed up when Brian (previous owner) owned the company; and as explained in the last offer he was using outdated hardware that wasn’t suitable for webhosting, hence we migrated that off to new setups and infrastructure and have heard awesome feedback ever since! Since then we’ve tripled its growth and now expanded our VPS offerings to Seattle and Kansas City; the offer above being exclusive to Kansas City :)
I am confident that you will continue to enjoy our services and if you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to let us know.
Best,
Kevin
Hi Kevin
as your on i would like to ask some more questions about the company and im sure others will benefit from learning a bit of background.
How many nodes do you have now?
Are they all the Same config as in all 8GB ram with E1230’s ? RAID 0 / 1 / 5 /10?
Hi Jack,
We have enough ;) As you know we have been in business for over 3 years under our parent company FTNHosting.net and we have a solid & hard working team. We acquired 6 RDP companies in 2011 to join our SimpleRDP.net brand and we like to consider ourselves the leaders in the Windows RDP & VPS market, simply because we have been doing it for so long and have a decent clientele base. In July of 2011 we decided to acquire URPad.net to engage ourselves into the Linux Hosting market. Since acquiring URPad.net, we’ve increased its size by at least 3x, and heard alot of positive comments about it. Clients are happy about it; it all worked out for the best for everyone and we have absolutely no regrets.
As for your server specifications inquiry, the minimum we will put on a node is 16 GB RAM DDR3, I am not sure where you got 8 GB from. The node you are on has an Intel Xeon E3-1230 3.20 GHz, and 16 GB RAM in RAID1 configuration.
I hope that gives you better background of who you are working with, we are here for the long haul, been in business for over 3 years and we plan on staying! Have an awesome rest of your weekend :)
Best,
Kevin
Ok. Good Machine.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing vRozenSch00n. We’ll be sure to keep it up!

Hi Kevin,
Trying to pay with Paypal, but i couldn’t see Paypal option, i am taking to 2checkout for payment with Credit card option only.Invoice #89961, i only can with Paypal.
Hi,
Ensure the currency is set to USD when checking out then you shouldn’t have any problems paying via PayPal.
Let me know if you face any further issues.
Best,
Kevin
Hi,
This problem is already resolved via your Support ticket itself.
I can say your service is so far very good, even though am a newbie to VPS/Linux, learning well with this VPS.
Once familiarized with it i can move all my websites which are on shared hosting right now.
Once again thanks to Kevin for his great help.
Guys try yourself to have good experience.
I agree they rock! :)
Tirumala thanks for the kind words we appreciate it. We’ll be sure to keep it up!
This looks like a great deal and the comments so far seem to back it up. I get a better ping (I’m in Australia) when I test with your Seattle server. Is this deal available on the Seattle server as well or only Kansas City?
cheers
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for writing in, unfortunately we do not have the above promotions listed above available in Seattle this is a promotion for Kansas City.
If you are looking for Seattle check out http://urpad.net/budget-vps – we offer 2 location choices on any package there.
Best,
Kevin
Thanks Kevin. I went ahead and purchased the Kansas City deal anyway (ping difference wasnt that much!) and box has been fine so far. Do you have nameservers or do I run my own?
As our VPS are self-managed we request you run your own DNS/nameservers.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best,
Kevin
Been using these folks for a while now. I love there attitude and support. Server speed is great too
Just purchased this Kansas City offer, so now I have Seattle and Kansas City VPS. Probably don’t make any difference to me, but this offer was too cheap to resist.
Keep up the good work Chris n Kevin I will always be here to support you.
Cheers,
James
Hi James,
Thanks for the kind words I’m glad to hear it.
Best,
Kevin
Hey,
I signed up about a week ago. Good, solid service so far. Support responded within minutes to enable TUN/TAP for my VPS.
I would give them a 10/10 you definitely get more than what you pay for.
Thank you! Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help.
Howdy,
Nice offer, a really good one as a matter of fact for the specs.
One question before I order, Is Custom RDNS (Reverse PTR Recor) supported?
Regards
Herbert
Yes we can set your IP address to any rDNS record of your choice.
Best,
Kevin
Hi,
Who are you using for Kansas City? :)
Regards
Jack.
Hi Jack,
The Kansas City server nodes are in the 1102GRAND.com datacenter.
If anyone has any further questions we are available on Live Chat on our website.

Signed up about a week ago. Major problems with disk I/O making apache unusable on my machine. They’ve slipped a bit since vRozenSch00n ran his marks a week ago:

==================
Unusable right now. Pipe is great, great value with lots of RAM and disk space. Friendly help, but some niggling problems: clock drift > 7seconds, two requests for rDNS. Any comment from Kevin? Did I just end up on a temporary server or something? Black Friday effect?
Yes, that was a 212 kB/s dd result above. I just ran ioping to get an idea of what’s happening. All over the map, but *not good*:
I just try them out last week and everyone was satisfied. Even thou i got lack of knowledge, the support always cover it up for me. Im thinking to try their vps.
Keep the good work, Kevin. Dont let me down.
Thanks Anthonio, we won’t.
Best,
Kevin
Dear Kevin Hillstrand,
I just got suspended, according to the e-mail Ticket #341260 I received:
and this
I have contacted your staff Ethan Coleman to turn back it on, and you may turn off the apache so I can move some of the website to another VPS. But it seems that he is waiting for a Senior Admin
I tried to call them on the phone, but nobody picked it up, only answering machine that I cannot connect through voip.
Now through this forum I’m begging you to please turn back my VPS.
Agi,
What do you expect us to do? Give you special treatment for posting on LEB?
That’s simply not the way its going to work, unlike other hosts we give absolutely no special treatment to those who post on forums & blogs. In fact your comment only just got approved by the Admin since I just got an email notification.
You were causing a high load on your server which is breaching our TOS, there is nothing more to it. You are on a self-managed server, it is your responsibility to monitor your services to ensure none will cause massive server load that will affect other users on the same server node as you.
Your issue was solved over 24 hours ago and VPS unsuspended.
Best,
Kevin
So good Service ~~
Would recommend this to all ,,,
Even nice speed from India..
Thanks and welcome aboard Chaaruchandra. We will do whatever it takes to ensure you’ll be happy :)
It has been a pleasure working with you as I do remember speaking with you over live chat the other day, please know we are here if you need any help!
I haven’t received any definitive replies addressing the poor disk IO performance above. It’s a bit better now (probably since Sat AM), but still nowhere near the numbers vRozenSch00n reported on Nov 23.
Can anyone else replicate these tests on their account to see if it’s just my node?
I will say their prices are great and their network is awesome. But the disk IO is really poor still as reflected by ioping:
And “dd” reports speeds about 1/10 as good as they were for others:
Perhaps you could comment Kevin? My IP is 199.192.229.122.
Hello Ryan,
Have you opened a ticket with our support department for a member of our staff can investigate your issue?
Thanks,
Chris
Yes, but the responses have been mostly unhelpful. Twice now I have asked about the disk I/O problem and provided data. The following is my second request for help on this:
The following is the response I got. It seems to be: “I can ping your IP address and loadavg is reported low in your guest so everything’s fine.” I’m not sure how this relates to a slow disk? Am I missing something?:

Thanks for your help Chris. All I need to be happy customer is disk latency within three orders of magnitude of my other VPSs :-)
I’m happy to follow up with a positive report on this forum if the disk problem is solved (and your support staff realizes the difference between disk and net speed in their responses).
Solve this and keep up the great work and you’ll have a good number of customers I think.
That support agent is… incompetent, I hope you will get someone better.
Hi,
I have updated your ticket accordingly and patiently waiting for your reply.
Best,
Kevin
Reply above was for Ryan.
@Yomero,
Thanks for your comment. Let me explain a couple of things. Ioping is 3rd party software and Ethan was unaware of it, however I have notified Ethan of this as I personally know what it is.
He was referring to the overall performance of your server as he mistaken your ioping result as a ping/performance complaint, we don’t expect our technicians to be experienced in every single 3rd party software out there and rest assured we only hire qualified system administrators who are experienced with servers.
I can assure you that Ethan is very much qualified to be working with OpenVZ & Linux servers. I have been working with him for quite a while now and he’s a joy to work with.
I’m sorry that your initial impressions due with a misunderstanding on our part might of changed the impression you have on our team, but I hope you can understand no one is perfect and misunderstandings do happen to both small and large hosts. We do our best, but in this particular instance Ethan was confused of what ioping was, which will be rectified in the future.
Please let us know if you require any further clarification.
Best,
Kevin
Yeah, hmm. I hope you get your issue resolved Ryan.
I haven’t had any performance issues with my VPS with them, and it runs my Ventrilo server just fine. I think it might just be your VPS.
My VPS in UrPad Kansas City for the DD I/O Test
Kansas City Network Speed Test:
And this is not to forget I have a Ventrilo service running with some of my friends actively talking on it. Of course there are just my results, they are pretty decent IMO for the price I pay. Good luck geting your issue solved, I’m sure they will get it all good with you :)
Cheers,
James
Thanks James for the report. Decent results for sure — at any price! Looks like it might just be a dud node. Kevin wrote me a nice email and they’re moving me to another node now. Will report back. Hope I end up with numbers like those.
Hi Ryan,
You should be all good to go now and I updated your ticket a few hours ago. Sorry about the troubles you may have witnessed.
Best,
Kevin

Hi,
Thanks for sharing, highly appreciated! Glad to see some awesome results.
Best,
Kevin
Thought I’d post mine as well. Seems fine, consitent with TIRUMALA RAO and James.
For the $5 per month that I pay (+$1.50 for an extra IP) I really couldn’t be happier.
Thanks Aaron.
I can assure you that the issue that Ryan has witnessed is not normal at all with us and I have already went ahead and resolved the issue for him as mentioned above.
Anyhow I’m glad to see you’re seeing great performance with your VPS with us. As long as you’re happy we’re happy ;)
Happy Holidays,
Kevin
Just to follow up with the thread. After two support tickets Kevin responded and understood my problem was poor disk I/O. He immediately offered to transfer my account (and data) to another node and kindly gave me his direct email. All of this on a Saturday evening after hours. He’s obviously dedicated to keeping customers happy. Very good service for < $5/mo.
The node I'm now on shows much disk I/O numbers. The following are three tests over a few hours this AM:
Not quite the > 40MB/s others are getting, but decent for sure. IOping results are also consistently better:
On my other low end account @ cheapvps I’m getting similar numbers (cheapvps shows 77MB/s on the dd test but their support is terrible).
Overall, I’m very happy with Kevin’s assistance, and new node performance. I must have been sharing with a disk hog on the old node. I’ll run a UnixBench now and see how the performance holds up. As of right now, I’d strongly recommend URPad. Kevin has been great, they have great prices, and performance on the new node is excellent.
More to follow. Thanks everyone for your results, more reports welcome! Keep it up URPad!
Got me one of these, urpad was kind enough to provide a custom vps configuration for my needs. Works beautifully.
Steve, sounds like the support keeps getting better! Care to share details of your custom setup?
Repeat of the above tests now on my new node this afternoon:
i’ve bought their vps a week ago
what more can i say ? i’m very happy with their customer service and vps perfomance.
it is fast but i do encounter some issue with their SolusVM panel.it showed there my server is offline BUT, my server is online actually.dont know what’s the issue actually.overall,9.5/10.
very good service. (will considered to give 10/10 if you allowed IRC use for bots) :p
Good to hear! :)

For more details please see: http://urpad.net/contest-2011
Thank you for your time and happy holidays to all.
Best,
Kevin
Greetings!
Urpad vps is pretty good nothing but good words to tell about the service.. fast download and upload speeds :)
Regards.
Luis
I’ve been using UrPad for a few months now and the service is unbeatable!
I’ve got a reseller service with them not quite the same as you guys but the uptime is 100% in my eyes confirmed with Pingdom reports.
There only problem I’ve got is the cPanel suspension page – I’d like to be able to change this but for some reason on UrPad I cannot properly, I’ve changed it, saved it and suspended an account but the default cPanel page appears – according to cPanel support I should be able to have my own one, every reseller account should be able to and there is no need for a VPS.
But the price, the performance – both brilliant.
I seem to have the same problem as Ryan had here.
Not good.
The support has also been quite unhelpful as well, let me transcript our message exchange in short
Me: My VPS is slow. Here are the ioping results.
URPad: This should be fixed now.
Me: It was okay brielfy, but now it slow again. (pasting ioping results again)
URPad: It’s your fault for serving so many HTTP requests.
(Comment: It’s a Tor node with a low 300KB/s bandwidth limit. Using as low as 112MB of RAM (out of 1GB) and <0.10 load in average which of course causes no problems on other VPS'es. No other daemons run there)
Me: I just installed another OS and the problem still persists when not running any daemons! (ioping results again)
URPad: I can't find any load on your server and the command "./ioping ." is not working
(Comment: …even though the log I pasted clearly shows the executable in a subdirectory)
Me: Go to the subdirectory, (use the "cd" command), it's not installed in $PATH
URPad: You don't seem to understand this depends on the load on our main node [what the…?]. Although we have now suspended some other VPS causing high load.
Me: The results right now are somewhat better (not great anyway). Shouldn't you monitor server load yourself instead of waiting for someone to submit a support ticket?
URPad: We sure monitor
The results you see above are a couple of hours AFTER this support chat.
Seems like the support people are pretty incompetent. Not only they don't seem to understand what bad IO means, I also have to lecture them about the basic UNIX commands.
Will probably cancel before the next billing date.
This in Kansas? If so, probably you got the same bad node as Ryan did. Maybe try asking them to move you to another node.
Anyway it’s disturbing to see that the disk hog has not been dealt with – although i understand they can be hard to track down.
Seattle actually. Moving to another node might have been a solution but they never suggested that, even after I replied to the same support ticket seven times saying that the problem had not been fixed (to which they always responded “I just inspected it. should be fine now”).
Got a bit tired after that, so I canceled my service and burned down the remaining bandwidth I had.
I am back with another quick review 2 months later.
I am very satisfied with the speed of the VPS still., no complaints at all. Would highly recommend(still) :-] Thanks UrPad!
I have a Vps in the Kansas City, the $4.87 one.
Would really recommnd it.. very passoinate support and quick to reply. I am from Singapore so my day time is the night time for Ur support, and I still received a 4 minute support response time at this weird times.
Currently using my Vps for Openvpn (watching hulu), works without any lag even from Singapore.
Thanks Urpad!!
People tell me the host is good, but unfortunately i always get a MaxMind error when trying to order. so annoying..
