Gerhard, from EDIS, recently got in touch to tell us about the launch of their new subsidiary, Waveride, which provides low-cost high-powered OpenVZ VPS. Will you follow tux and ride the waves?
4GB OpenVZ Vienna
|
Waveride was launched only a few days ago on the 20th April (you may have seen the launch post on LowEndTalk). According to their website, they decided to launch Waveride so that they could provide advanced linux professionals with reliable, extremely low-cost OpenVZ virtual server containers, on high-density, ultra-efficient and economic enterprise grade hardware. The hardware they’re talking about is a mix of Hewlett Packard and SuperMicro Dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 nodes, with 160+ GB RAM and Seagate Constellation Enterprise SAS2 drives in hardware RAID50 subsystems (LSI). If you purchase one of these, do let us know how it performs!
Waveride parent company EDIS has been in business since 1999 and recently came fifth in our top providers poll. They accept payments via Paypal and Bitcoin. Debit/Credit cards are possible via PayPal. All prices are net and do not include Austrian VAT which is charged at 20% for EU clients who do not have a valid VAT ID. For more information, have a read of their FAQ page.
Network Information:
Nodes are connected to the EDIS backbone and are physically located in Vienna, Austria. You can test their network via their Looking Glass.
Test IPv4: 149.154.154.1
Test File: http://at.edis.at/100MB.test

I’m liking your service – I’d use it if it was in a different location!
Good luck with it!
Hi Jamie!
what locations would you be interested in?
Gerhard
Hi,
I’m more interested in somewhere closer to the UK Mainland – as location and latency counts both for me. 🙂
Anywhere Cheap for you guys really – Netherlands,France etc. 🙂
Regards,
Jamie
Is this service connected to this?
http://www.edis.at/en/server/free-unmetered-free-everything-gigabit-cpanel-smoke-cloud/for-you/#
Will be terminated after some time?
no.
Hello,
May be possible have this in other location like for example spain?
Thanks
Regards.
No, we only offer it in Austria currently.
Hello waveride team,
I have a question to your great offer, are the machines protected from a node firewall or only with iptables (csf)?
And do you use the same connection for the waveride machines as for your vservers from edis (vienna location)?
Thanks guys!
No Firewall, Same network.
Apart from “The Great Firewall of Austria”!
Try to signup use bitcoin for pay and service page says “FRAUD” on status and cannot pay invoice??
How can you have FRAUD on bitcoin pay?
Just because you pay with Bitcoin does not mean we provide anonymous service – all data needs to match up just as if you’d pay by paypal or creditcard.
(Sidenote: Currently no BTC payment is possible as there are some issues with the payment provider)
I’m really thinking about buying the first plan, but let me ask you (@Gerhard) is there any another location?
Since I’m from Portugal I still get high latency to Austria.
Thank you,
David.
No.
I couldnt find better for this price
Thank you Waveride
Bought it today and installed Debian 7 Ngnix Ispconfig 3 in a hour…

This was an unrelated network issue.
Related or unrelated, my VPS was down for several minutes.
No, the network was down – not the VPS, this is a difference 😉
Can you please tell me the OS options available with your VPS. Waiting for your reply.

late reply… i already buy one vps yesterday…:) my vps is active already with u. I got debian 7.
How can I switch/reinstall new OS, seems the default is Debian 7?
Sorry, closed. My client forgot the give me the control panel data 🙁
Also let me know the mentioned bandwidths are per month or yearly?
monthly.
Cheers
Gerhard @EDIS / Waveride
Hello,
You offer XEN VPS too?
You provide rDNS for the IP`s?
If i need an extra 1 IPv4 address what is the cost?
Support is 24/7?
Thanks!
No / Yes / Not available / No, none at all
Most nodes are currently rebooting to apply kernel updates, VPS should come up again in 10-30minutes.
If they keep rebooting then we’ll have to keep starting our services for example running a minecraft or game server. I see a problem there – do you do scheduled updates?
Ever heard of rc.local ? Why do you need to start your game servers manually?
Sometimes I don’t start some servers because they are used occasionally (for example a match server). How many outages have there been so far? Their network seems pretty good!
huh? They have just been rebooted once…
They DO NOT accept bitcoin despite what it says at the top of this page. Too bad.
I have purchased a VPS from waveride almost 1 week before and my feedback is i will strongly recommend it to everyone. the facts i like about waveride is they provide high configuration server on very low price and the uptime is also not bad. i mean rebooting to install updates are acceptable by everyone… in these past few days i did not noticed any long downtime for any reason. I have used 1and1 and godaddy also and they put alot of regulations on server resources even if u take a high ram server. having a high ram doesnt mean u will get alot of server performance. with waveride i can see that while importing database or using any server resources there is no restriction on server resources.
I strongly recommend waveride if u are planning for a vps.
I’m a customer at WaveRide for almost two weeks now. I don’t like it very much, and considering OverZold (Prometeus). They went down first this week because of a DDoS-attack. I asked them before, when the connection seemed to drop. It could be my problem, so they won’t help. When they received the attack, they told me it was a DDoS-attack. No worries, sir.
Sure not. This morning, I woke up without having listeners. Wait… stream is dropping again? What? I’ve been offline for effin’ 1.5 hour?! Then I’ve had a look at the uptime. Ooh, woops, they rebooted it. Why don’t I know that? Oh, well. They didn’t e-mail me. I contacted Wave Ride Emergency again, but they are kind of slow and keep asking questions of instead solving it.
Asking EDIS on Twitter, they’re being kinda rude. They think they can make a joke on being offline. No, that’s NOT funny. I have to keep in mind I’m on a shared host and I have to ask my VPS-neighbours if they can spare me. EDIS asks me if I don’t think I overreact. Are these guys taking hosting seriously? Getting a VPS at WaveRide is on “best effort base”, which means, no uptime guaranteed. But simply rebooting it without a warning could be dangerous, as it might lead to old backups. I don’t want to discover at my own way that the server is offline again.
So, if network connection keeps dropping, or they restart the whole server for a small problem, I think I will go to OverZold. I’m not very keen on this ‘Austrian sense of humor’.
Dennis, I thought we discussed that already on twitter.
Thanks for your feedback though!
If you are that unhappy, please do consider changing the host.
Wishing you a great weekend!
Gerhard @ EDIS
Sorry Gerhard, I don’t know, but this was NOT meant for support issues. I just reviewed your support, and in my opinion, WaveRide is lacking it. So I reviewed it. My review wasn’t a way to force any comment of WaveRide on my specific problem.
And I took your advice. Will go to Prometeus. As soon as I moved all my services and content, I will close my account on here. Again: maybe EDIS should leave the humor aside (as I cried out of bad service).
With on here, I meant: WaveRide. Not LowEndBox.
How many nodes do you guys have running these cheap openvz boxes at the moment?
only a handfull in Austria at the moment.
The project has only been launched 4 weeks ago.
Gerhard
So are you planning on expanding to other countries? This would be a cracking deal if it was expanded to the UK or NL.
I couldn’t be happier with the server!
But would love more hdd =D and
…and bandwidth! sorry 😀
I’ve bought one of these some weeks back, I’ve left it OFF because I had no time for configuration. Yesterday I have noticed that my vps was ON with more than 2 days uptime (security logs actually had entries older than one week so I guess that my vps was (re)started multiple times since my shutdown), but my Control Panel had no entries for Boot or Restart. Anyone else noticed this behavior?
Hi!
we had to restart the host-system. Once right after we went online with Waveride due to a problem with the infrastructure and another time 3 days ago.
Looks like your server was restarted upon the system-boot (seems to be a normal solusVM behavior too boot up everything that exists).
Cheers,
Gerhard @ Waveride
I love your service but this sucks, you leave your system poorly configured knowing that is OFF and then you find that it was started by someone else and that some russian guy was trying to steal the cookies. Can’t you email the customers when the status of the system changes and when you are doing maintenance?
Thanks.
Oh and also, do you plan on accepting payments via credit cards soon like on the main Edis website?
Possibly.
First impressions:
– Stupid of me not to purchase RIGHT AWAY!
– Server set up nice and promptly after paying via PayPal. (No signup required and you will pay in your own currency, in my case the exchange rate was £5.12 (with VAT) but they charged me £5.32 (no biggie!)
– Have done re-installs on other VPSes and they have taken around 5-10minutes but I installed CentOS 6 (x64) in a matter of seconds.
– Faster than doing an install on a KvM for sure.
– Fresh install is fairly minimal (CentOS 6) – 622.41 MB of 50 GB Used / 49.39 GB Free
– Bandwidth isn’t bad at all! – 0 KB of 1.95 TB Used / 1.95 TB Free (I usually get around 1.75TB from a 2TB deal.)
– System idles at 24.11 MB of 4 GB Used / 3.98 GB Free
– Options to enable/disable TUN/TAP and PPP
– Hostname is changeable
– Reverse DNS on both IPv4 and IPv6
Overall this is a good first impression of what seems to be a service that is too good to be true!
I’ll post updates on this as I go.
Just as small correction: We have no IPv6 reverse DNS, neither by panel nor by support – You can set it in Solus but this has no function at all.
Oh, that’s a shame – not a massive problem at this point in time I don’t think. Just as long as you fix it in the future it’s all fine and dandy 🙂
Thanks for the great service.
Oh and William, I just noticed that IPv4 reverse DNS is disabled. Any reason why?
Yes, done over support as we don’t want to set up a new nameserver setup just for a few /24s.

Mike, did yours have networking out of the box? My VPS doesn’t connect to the internet at all and I’m not experienced enough to know if it’s something I can fix.
Indeed it did have networking.
Do you have access to the vps control panel? You should have received an email with the details.
I found that the Tuwien (a university in Vienna) has a mirror that has the best latency but worst uplink so I disabled that repo in yum, I don’t think it affects Ubuntu though.
The best tools that you can use to manage your VPS are:
– PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
– WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
The serial console can be used but it is generally meant for when the VPS is not accessible via SSH/PuTTY.
What you should do when you get onto SSH is type:
It was a problem at their end, working now thanks to William. Many thanks for your advice, I am going to try tuxlite setup script to start with.
Gone for one of these to have a play. Anyone point me to a setup tutorial? I have Ubuntu up and runnign but currently only able to access via serial console. I assume I need to set up networking?
hm? OpenVZ has no network devices, they are assigned from the host – Your VPS has network from start, you cannot set this over recovery.
It’s working now (but will it if I reinstall OS?)
Thanks for sorting, thought I was going crazy!
Can I install cPanel on this?
Yes, but cPanel quota for webhosts does not work on OpenVZ.
do you allow for private tracker ? ( ex : torrentflux )
Tracker, no, Downloading is fine if there’s no DMCA.
Their service is very suck. My VPS is down until now, dont buy their service. dont wante your time and your money.
My vps is always down, you right.
We have no known issues at all, in fact, we even added a new node today and migrated containers to provide even BETTER performance.
Please provide your IP.
My vps is online, but no internet connection, only Serial Console works. I am unable to access the internet. Very unstable, this is not the first time. (151.236.10.53) Max uptime 2-3 days, this is not good.
Sorry for my english.
Yes Velf, Please provide your IP. I am using this vps and there is no down time today.

Hi William/Gerhard,
Still a happy customer of EDIS/Waveride 🙂
You guys handled the SVM scandal fairly well although there should be a point where you guys can safely say there are no more exploits 😉 It’s been way too long without a CP now.
Anyway, got any offers coming up for summer for KVMs at EDIS?
The Solus Panel does not resolve from USA. and Tickets are not answered. Because they’re for emergency only. Right?
Right
The SolusVM is deactivated for SolusLabs security reasons, and support does reply to reboot/reinstall requests obviously at this time.
Could you not enable the API’s though? (to reboot etc)
THe API as well as the WHMCS module are enabled, they were never disabled except for 2 short durations (one where the rootpassword file was vulnerable, second yesterday when news reported another solus hack of a german provider that turned out to be not up2date).
I understand, I sent a ticket for a reinstall
Is the network protected against DDOS?
No.
Debian 7 x64 supported?
Yes, only with 2.6 Kernel.
Which datacentre are you UK servers located?
Waveride has no UK servers, that is only EDIS directly.
How do I pay with you with bitcoins? I don’t see the payment option… Thanks
Is erotic/porn allowed? I mean nothing like zoo or even cp. Only soft erotic and light pron.
Not an issue at all, no restrictions on viewer age verification in Austria either (no matter if soft or hardcore).
Hello, does your 4GB OpenVZ Vienna VPS have the following?
PHP Version 5.3+
ionCube Loader
MySQL
PDO Extension
mCrypt Libraries with Blowfish Cipher
mbstring Extension Enabled
XMLReader
I am looking to install this self-hosted tracking software: http://www.imobitrax.com/
Would I be able to on your VPS?
Also, do you offer any support in helping set this up?
In all honesty, I’ve never purchased a VPS before, so any support is greatly appreciated. I’m also curious, do I need to purchase cPanel for my requirements? And what OS would I need to choose?
Thank you so much!
Does Second Level Quotas enabled for the container
wiki.openvz.org/User_Guide/Managing_Resources#Turning_On_and_Off_Second-Level_Quotas_for_Container
How can I switch/reinstall new OS, seems the default is Debian 7?
Sorry, closed. My client forgot the give me the control panel data 🙁
Please clarify your terms ” Ressource Limits: You are expected to use less than 25% of your assigned CPU cores for 95% of the month, the left 5% can be used to burst. ”
What happens if we override those 25% ? Are you suspending our accounts ?
Also please tell us if you allow legal porn in NL and AT . Thank you !!!
Same here. This is F*** outrage. I also didn’t get my refund for a whole month.
Three days with any access to my VPS!
I have no words to define the technical support!
