Waveride – €5 Monthly 4GB OpenVZ VPS in Vienna, Austria

waverideGerhard, 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?

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.

    I wasn’t able to pay on time and my service was suspended today. I have paid but still it is showing status as suspended. Does “no support” means no service as well? Invoice #60063344.

      After around 39 hours and service is suspended after payment. Thinking about raising a dispute with Paypal. No support doesn’t mean no service.

    The worst VPS I’ve ever bought. The network bandwith is worst than a 56K modem.

    I’ve paid for 4 months and now I can’t do nothing.

    DON’T BUY THESE VPS!!!!

      You are right. I should have listened to you… 🙁
      I am glad I only threw 5 Euros in the bin.

    Awesome offer…..
    However………..
    I have a stupid “extra” question to EDIS…..
    I need a fast line, but only sometimes. For example, this weekend was the 31c3 CCC congress, and they had very fast servers ^^… (only this weekend)
    I would need a sort of “Internet Cafe” in my hometown, Graz, which would offer atleast 1Gigabit up/downstream to the CCC server farm if you know what I mean ….
    And I’d be glad to pay for that….
    Anything like that possible, perhaps for some local oldschool people like me? 😉

    Kernel is 2.6.32, you have to manually apt-get install a lot of things to get going.
    Network performance is just terrible. Of the promised gigabit line, nothing remains.

    I must take back my comments.

    Now I suddenly have 8.8 Megabyte per second FTP speed to TU Graz.
    Suddenly the net is so much faster; hell knows why.
    However, the ping to, for example, http://ftp.tuwien.at is still larger than 40 miliseconds. Curious.

    Now, the ping is fast, too:

    I am sorry. I was wrong. It works fine!

    Waverid, edis is BS, their security is mess, I have vps with waverid this my vps ip 151.236.10.149 and I always have problem, not only this time, its often cannot use SSH or squid port , although before is fine I can use squid or SSH, and now only can access PORT 80 WTHELL I mean fix this problem EDIS suck, why blocking my ip to access certain port, its very bad security system to block legit user to their own subscribed VPS!

    Something is wrong at waveride.
    4 days afer payment service was still unavailable – no access to control panel and ssh unresponsive. Then i asked for help but no answer to my tickets. Finally, requested cancellation after contract period – they closed my tickets without answer and still no access. I was ripoff, unbelievable. Waveride was recommended by several friends that never had a problem. What happened to them?

    total garbage as of November 2018. purchased one in a hurry to alternatively route some traffic/firewall into another server as they had supposedly fixed iptables support “permanently” (reported at some other forum). yeah server was deployed very fast, near instantly, and the three commands I typed, yeah they popped pretty fast too, but that was all about it, it came out with no iptables full support so pretty much useless to me. furthermore I tried to reinstall it a couple of times to see if some of the other templates came out with full iptables support and just after a bunch of reinstall the vps broke beyond belief itself, now it’s just offline and it doesn’t even have resources (memory and probably cpu) allocated sitting there uselessly at the solus panel, no warnings, no error messages, no anything, just random useless garbage sitting there. opened a ticket in the morning still unanswered so long story short, 24 hours of useless downtime just on the first day and growing for no apparent reason at all yet.

    anyways to be honest, it doesn’t even look like they care at all, I mean it looks like this just keep being the same stuff they built up back in 2013, no updates, no improvements, no anything. no wonder five years later running the same ages old stuff the thing is now broke/outdated beyond belief, so be warned of this provider, I don’t even want to imagine how things are going to go from here on.
