John from vpsVIBE wrote to me introducing his new budget VPS hosting company. The same introductory offer can also be found on WHT. VPS starts from $3.99/month for their Vibe #1 plan. $5.99/month gets you “Vibe #2”, which has
- 512MB guaranteed/768MB burstable memory
- 55GB storage
- 550GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers with Continuum in Chicago/Lombard IL (test IP: 74.121.182.115). That would be in the same data center as Vazapi, BigScoots and FTS Servers. As of the history of vpsVIBE, hmmm what history?? Domain registered in early June 2011 (just 2 weeks ago), and it appears that vpsVIBE has got no website when the above WHT offer was posted. It does not have a pretty simplistic site, with no info about the “business”, no SSL in the client area, no ToS/AUP on the website, etc. Registrant information is hidden behind WHOIS privacy. But we know that it’s John, the one who sold AlienVPS to Russell last November.
Well. It looks like he still has quite a bit to do before this new business can grow into a sell-able size :)

Their template is a lot like BuyVM’s.
At least BuyVM’s website works properly under Firefox. This one doesn’t.
Selected text is purple!!! :D
That would be because its veVPS’s old site.
The site works fine on my Firefox and Chrome :D
LEA: How do you know it is John? :P
jtaM in WHT. The email I got also addressed as John. You can look at previous AlienVPS posts to get his full name, and work from there. I thought he would be a designer kind of guy from other offers he made on WHT, so am surprised that a template was used in this site.
Hello, I’m Jake.
I’m working with John on this project and can confirm that it is the same John from AlienVPS. This project has been in planning for some time, however, we only recently decided on the name, hence the reason for the young domain name. Although John doesn’t have a great record for keeping companies, we really have no intention of selling. I run another large managed vps company, and this is an expansion to my services, so no plans to sell.
Regards
This would appear to be veVPS’s site which (admittedly was similar in many ways to BuyVM’s) however looks as if they have just changed the background.
**PS its not owned by John. He is helping a friend out on the sales side. A quick google reveals this: http://www.clubhabboforum.net/showthread.php?p=3827486#post3827486
At least they rephrased the stolen copy this time..
It isn’t their fault directly.
The design is actually a colorized version of what vevps was using. VeVPS got theirs from this guy selling the template/design on WHT for pennies.

Nothing is clear. Why result amount different from what is listed on the site?
Maybe they’re prorating for the rest of this month and the full amount for next month?
Yes that’s what I thought, although it would be nice to actually itemize and stated that out in the checkout.
Its set Pro Rata for the 01/08/11. Click checkout and it tells you.
(Pro Rata 01/08/2011)
BTW: I wasnt ordering. Just suspected it was pro rata.
FAQ also says as much
Yup, just found it.
How many ip come with each plan?? and what is the price for extra ip, thanks
Seems to be genshared.com which has genvps.com as its WHOIS contact. GenVPS seems to be owned by a ‘Jake’. Also doesn’t appear to have a great uptime record according to the LEB Wiki.
Sorry, the above should read ‘Seems to be affiliated with genshared.com…’.
Hello, It would appear that is an uptime record of our main website, which, through no fault of our own, has experienced some patches of downtime. Our clients are located in a much more premium DC, in Dallas, TX and have not experienced such downtime.
We do have plans to move out website to a better, more premium DC in the near future to prevent this from happening in the future.
VPSVibe is located in a seperate DC from both our main site and GenVPS clients. Our clients at VPSVibe have been happy with the level of service receieved so far. I can also confirm that billing is set to pro rata.
Regards
I/O is very easily tolerable (what more could you ask for what they’re charging)
And nothing to argue about the download speed either.
And transferring out of vpsVIBE to another VPS I have elsewhere I was getting ~10MB/s.
Hello, thank you for your comments. The decent speed you were getting was due to our server being connected via a 1Gbps port, allowing our clients to transfer data quickly.
Regards
Hello, I’d like to apologies for any confusion with billing. We understand our site may lack information, though thanks to feedback from these comments, we will soon be launching a new, more unique site with all the information you have suggested and any other important information about this service.
We have had very good feedback from our clients so far, and all seems well. We hope to continue this growth and provide the same quality of service to our future clients.
Regards
I ordered this to test it out. It’s junk and I wouldn’t trust it. I’ve also just gotten some spam from this John Tamborino fellow that I’ve linked back to this. Looks like he’s some kid that recently graduated highschool. Avoid.
paid for service 8/2/11 has not yet set up server does not answer support tickets.Has wrong date on billing.
out of biz?
Yep
What about already paid plans and data on their servers ?
How can I get my data ?
