London, this is so awesome :D (Btw, highly recommend WLS!)
Thanks for the recommendation! Expanding to the UK market was a good decision and our customers seem to be loving the new location!
Chris
Do you offer the manual central backup feature?
Greetings,
We can enable the SolusVM Quick Backup feature for your VPS. Once utilized, this creates an archive of your entire VPS and is stored in a folder within your VPS. Should you wish to restore that archive at some point in time, we can complete it via support ticket, or you can use the archive to restore specific files yourself.
Please request the SolusVM Quick Backup feature to be enabled on your VPS via a support ticket, there is no cost for this.
Chris
Is this really London? Which datacenter?
Our Maidstone, Kent UK location is all part of the greater London area, located in the CustodianDC with a 10G network composing of Level3 and London exchange peers.
Chris
Direct from Custodian or is it HostDime?
We are delighted to be housing our equipment in CustodianDC within HostDime’s racks. HostDime runs their own premium network blend there with 10G capacity which our customers seem to be enjoying very much!

THIS IS NOT LONDON:
Kent UK = Kent
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=kent&ie=UTF-8&ei=B04iUuaIHoqP7Abh1YHIDw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg
Being more specific, I’m pretty sure they’re Kent Datacenter is in Maidstone ;)
Thank you for your interest. Kent is the county, the town is Maidstone, all part of greater London area.
Kent county is not a part of Greater London. It borders it to the NW.
It is not part of Greater London. I live in Greater London, so I know where the borders end. :-)
Maidstone is far off, if anything would be Greater London it would be Dartford.
Hmmm?
Greater London was formally created by the London Government Act 1963, which came into force on 1 April 1965, replacing the administrative counties of Middlesex and London, adding the City of London, which was not under the London County Council, and absorbing parts of Kent, Surrey, Essex and Hertfordshire.

What about legal/private torrents? Great deal, but I run a private data share for my company via torrents. Kindly let me know.
Unfortunately we do not allow torrents. Sorry for any inconveniences. BitTorrent Sync, however, is fine.

Thanks for choosing WeLoveServers! Everyone is benchmarking their brand new VPS’s right now so expect the I/O speed to improve overtime once the amount of benchmarks that are being ran simultaneously cool down. When I ran it earlier today I received over 250 MB/s I/O speed.
Chris
What site or How do you do this test?
http://freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh
I have shifted from the UGVPS because of their pathetic network downtimes and also their pathetic support. I am just loving how WLS is handling things , very friendly and very good on rates too :). Also their service is perfect.
Highly recommended. Keep up the good work guys
Also on the buffallo location the rDNS could be set by the Solus , very nice feature hence no need to open ticket for everytime you want to change it.
Thanks Ahmiq, Glad you enjoy it.
I am in Luton and I can get a very fast connection speed to Kent Datacenter.
Ordered one,hope I can be happy with WLS.:D
Thanks for choosing WeLoveServers, we appreciate your business :)
How long is the offer?
We have not decided exactly when these offers will expire just yet.
Chris
So,can I buy the vps after 7 months?
Great offer, and nice to see hosts coming back to the UK and offering the same price across all locations. Good luck.
Thank you for your wishes! We look forward to growing in the UK market.
Nice UK offer, do you offer IPv6 with it?
We do not currently offer IPv6 in our UK location at this time. I will follow up once we get this service established there. Existing customers will get first dibs when it is available and they will be assigned at no extra cost.
Chris
Any news about the ipv6 availability in the UK ?
Can i use this vps play minecraft？
Gameservers against their TOS, but contact them for approval.

Feel free to contact us for approval :] we will allow them as long as they do not constantly hog the CPU. We want to maintain a stable service environment for all.
Chris

As an extra bonus exclusively for LEB, anyone from LEB can claim a free upgrade on any of the anniversary specials from a 100Mbps port to 1Gbps! After completing the order, open a ticket and they will have the upgrade to 1Gbps completed within ~30 minutes.

enjoy :]
I’ve got 5-6 VPS with them on LA and Buffalo node. And now they tempting me to get one from UK . Damn… you WLS :P
BTW, I highly recommend these guys. Their support team is simply awesome!!!
Thank you for your continued business Sujit!
surport public proxy?
Absolutely.
This is a very high cost of VPS, but I found a lot of friends through my website to buy the WeLoveServers VPS room after Los Angeles, ipv4 address is in New York. Hoping to get answers.
I think maybe the IP display error. ColoCrossing CPY in New York.
Got 2 Servers there, must say I am very satisfied!
Support Response Times are faster than light and those guys really care about your problems and fix them!
100% recommended
Thanks for the recommendation!
This seems like a reasonable deal, but the insistence that Kent is part of London is quite frankly annoying and seems like an underhanded method of attracting customers. For that reason, I’m out.
It’s fine, either Kent or London. Ping differences between them within UK won’t be more than 10ms anyway.
Good performance on the node and very friendly CS. I am personally satisfied.
Don’t be so harsh. They are a US provider after all. We should honour them that they at least know where the UK is located on the world-map. Knowing in which administrative area their datacenter is located is too much to ask for.
I think I love you.
…….God will take care of you, sister.
Erm, ok.
When you’re 4,500 miles away, a 45 minute trip down the M26 is really not significant. You probably think Dartford is part of London because it’s inside the M25.
@Nigel Reed: The distance a host may have to it’s leased equipment is not valid arguement for false advertising. If that would be allowed, I as a UK citizen would buy a server in Mexiko and sell it as a US one based in Texas. It’s all Northern America anyways, right? But you’re right that they obviously even didn’t check with Wikipedia where Kent is located. We can understand that. We all know Wikipedia is hard to use. Everybody struggles with the complicated Wikipedia.
But the USA is in Mexico right?
I just ordered the UK VPS and it has been great so far. Excellent uptime, performance and support replies within 10 minutes. I can highly recommend WLS to everyone!
I’m extremely glad to see that you have had a pleasant experience with us :] If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.
Chris
hello, may I ask if
you are running a pptp server by any chance. i have been trying to get one working on tne kent node for 4 days, but no go. US nodes on the other hand have had no such problems. thank you
Could you please provide your sales dept email id to contact?
thx
sales [at] weloveservers [dot] net
Just purchased one. So far so good :)
Welcome to the family Hasin! Looking forward to hosting you for many years to come.
I used these guys for some time in the past, about 1-2 years ago, they are great, VPS was very fast.
:] We’d love to see you back someday!
Good support, the answer to the ticket received after 3 minutes.
Haha…
What’s the IPv4 Address’ price?
Additional IPv4 Addresses are $1.60 each.
per month, not per year…
Ordered a vps – fast response times :-)
Any plans to add IPv6 in Buffalo, NY?
Happy to have you Steve! We already offer native IPv6 in Orlando. We are working to get native IPv6 support finalized for other locations too.
Chris
Ordered one of the VPS systems, had a great response time of around 15 minutes for the first support ticket. Fast support and great VPS, will most likely be buying some more VPS systems in the next few days or so if the performance stays well.
Thank you!
Just have one. Exceptional service and very flexible support team.
Great!
Woohoo! Thanks for the recommendation Ky happy to have you with us. Enjoy your VPS.
Chris
I have been wls customer for almost 9 months now. A week ago, I ordered another yearly plan. Wish I knew this is coming up. Can existing customer get an upgrade to 1gb plan?
Sorry, I didn’t see this comment earlier! By all means feel free to reach out to me- my email is c.boswell@weloveservers.net and I will see what I can do for ya :]
Chris
I’m looking at moving my VPS to WeLoveServers. The support guys there are bending over backwards to help me even through I am at the pretty low end of the spectrum. My current VPS is getting a 60ms ping to their data center in Dallas. With WeLoveServers, their ping is…I kid you not…6-7ms! Great connectivity, great pre-sales and technical support. There’s a couple of things that I need for me to pull the trigger on this deal and they’re doing what they can right now (at 2am in the morning) to make this happen.
I’m looking forward to doing some benchmark testing and see how things perform once I have my website and database loaded up.
Hi,Did you buy one in Dallas data center? Would you help me to test the speed between my location to Dallas data center.
Please contact me,email:admin@hylin.org,
Thanks a lot.
Do you have anything with SSD?
Hi!
I wanna hire one of this VPS. Does somebody know if the bandwidth of 1Tb is every month or every year for the 19$ offer ? And what happens if you pass this limit ? 10Mbps network ? or do you need to buy additional bandwidth ?
THANKS !
1 TB is for one month. Not sure about what happens when u pass it , may be chris could tell you this
Do you have CentOS-5 32bit, I only see option for CentOS-6.
Yep! You can reimage your VPS to CentOS 5 from the SolusVM CP.
Chris
Yep! You can reimage your VPS to CentOS 5 from the SolusVM CP.
Chris
Be warned, I have contacted them 7 hours ago (on Monday) and still haven’t recieved a response to either of my tickets.
Greetings,
WeLoveServers sales coverage is slightly limited today in observance of Labor Day holiday. Technical Support & Systems Administration is 24/7 as always and our 10 minute average response time will be upheld.
However, I do not see a ticket in the queue open for that long, feel free to post your ticket id.
Happy Labor Day folks.
Chris
I have contacted them today, and received an answer 11 minutes after ! Very fast… Maybe because my questions were easy to answer.
About the bandwidth, when it will be reached, the VPS will shutdown automatically, unless you purchase additionnal bandwidth to make the VPS online again.
I cannot find the information about the bandwidth in the website. Do you know where is it ? or how much it costs the additional bandwidth ?
Thanks!!!
I opened a ticket to have an answer. Can’t see anything on the website if i am not logged in.
Thanks, I will wait for you answers.
Thanks a lot Julian !
I just got one :) I just have a question.. is there an option to re-install the OS and start from fresh at any given time?
Sorry, I just found the link to the VPS Control, from there I can reinstall the OS :)
any luck with my ticket #243806?
Greetings Lance,
Please refer to my response to your other comment below… http://lowendbox.com/blog/weloveservers-19year-1gb-openvz-in-buffalo-dallas-la-kent-uk-and-orlando/#comment-130033

Main website is in NY.
UK Location isn’t available anymore?
Good Morning, orders in the following locations may not be instantly activated, as we sold out faster than we expected – expect about a 24 hour or less lead time if your VPS is pending in one of the mentioned locations below:
Dallas, TX
Buffalo, NY
United Kingdom
Other locations are in stock and will be activated instantly after your order.
At the moment we are awaiting new servers to be set up in the above locations, all of which will be done in under 24 hours.
Thank you for everyone’s support and patience!
Chris
Hi !
Germany location is not available ?
I think there Ip’s were sold out i think.
Hi, Do you expect your new servers in your UK location to be setup today? I wanted to order a yearly plan and wasn’t sure if to wait till tomorrow if it’s not ready yet?
Thanks!
is it possible Indonesia to order the VPS? the fraud system always block my order
Saya order lancar kok. Tapi masih pending karena ternyata UK out of stock… :(
wew, than my bad luck.. can not put order for LA server always got fraud detection alert.. i will extend my vps with Oneasiahost than..:(
I think if you make a ticket , something could work out , chris is very helpful
Waiting for mine to get set up, I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it I’m about to lose control and I think I like it. :)
lol. you are over reacted pal.
I have to say that this company looks amazing.
I’ve got one VPS yesterday in Buffalo, NY.
The VPS works super fine. The service of the support department it’s amazing.
I have 0 complaints. All right. THANK U !!!
Purchased this last night (15 hours ago) and unfortunately they were sold out on the UK location. Rather sad as I needed it to be active by 12pPM today (it’s now 5PM). I will hold on to their word of the 24 hour time frame.
The support is professional, however!
I’ve ordered LEB 2GB, instant activation. Fast respond from tech and sales dept.
Any update on the new servers in uk?
Sam
My service is still pending after around 23 hours.
I did mention 24 hours above.
I ordered a UK vps Monday September 3rd around 16:30, still waiting.
Also created a ticket, no response so far. I don’t mind waiting a bit, but please keep the clients up to date !
Good Evening,
Unsure how you are basing your comment, because we have been keeping customers updated I even posted an update in a comment on LEB, also our average ticket response time is under 10 minutes.. further the provisioning delay notice was also posted in the announcements area: http://core.weloveservers.net/announcements.php?id=9
UK VPS’s are being setup as we speak.
Chris
Yeah, same issue with my vps but when I created a ticket to ask what’s happening. Chris and the other staff had a quick response on the problem. Now my ordered vps is up and ready to go.. Thanks to Chris who’s very helpful and to the management that given me a free upgrade.
Setup and response are too slow for me. Setup is not finished yet right now

The UK servers are currently installing. Please expect your server welcome email in roughly 30 minutes.
Again your patience is appreciated, everything will be back to instant setup by today.
New UK server is not E3-1240?
Hey DalComp,
It is not… however the Dual 5520’s are quite the workhorses and provide more physical cores :) If your VPS was deployed with dual 5520’s processors, the advantage is that instead of 4 CPUs, we can upgrade you to 8 physical cores at no charge just let us know support@weloveservers.net
I don’t really mind, just asking because different than LEB post. But then why would I reject few extra cores? :D
Email sent.
Good Evening,
Upgrade has been completed. Our hardware vendor in the UK does not have E3’s in stock atm, there is a very small performance difference between the two processors so we decided to set up the new UK servers with Dual 5520’s to avoid additional delays.
Chris
You guys are awesome. :D
Hey,
Is it possible to move there? :p
Greetings,
All UK orders are delivered! Let us know if you did not receive your activation e-mail.
Chris
Just paid for a server, order number: 3933550113
It’s still pending, hope it’s processed soon.
I got one of these VPSs and I’m very happy. Box is fast network is fast. I’ve submitted two tickets one for the port speed upgrade and one for a PTR. Both tickets were answered in less than 10 minutes.
Hi,i got one of box from them
but my solusvm keep showing error when i try to click something(change tun/tap,change ppp,even i cant reboot from solus)
i already request free network upgrade(to 1gbps),and they said they will already do that

if you were on a 100 mb port your speed will not increase from 12 MB , and the 1 gig port is shared so , that speed is allrite what u getting
You are already on 1Gbps dude.
Affirmative…
Almost 24 hours after purchase but not set up yet.
Greetings Suri,
Have you checked your spam folder? If you provide me with your invoice ID I can look this order up but I do not see any un-activated orders in our system at the moment.
Chris
I bought the UK VPS, and Tuntap is not enabling properly form SolusVM. Was going to install OpenVPN on it.
Opened a ticket. #220900
—
Other than that I was impressed by the VPS’s speeds. Their good.
Good morning,
I see that this was already sorted out for you, the Tuntap issue should be resolved.
Chris
Is DDOS protected? do you offer DDOS protection?
also want to know this!
UPDATE Sept 4: All locations are back in stock and all orders will be instantly activated.
Anyone else having a problem with networking not working?
I ordered the 2GB special and it was provisioned instantly but I’m unable to SSH into it and no pings/tracerts are working from the serial console. :\
Ticket ID is #106743 in case any staff are interested.
This was already resolved this afternoon, and the corrective action has been conducted to make certain that this will not occur again in the future.
Chris
Just bought my server, get me set up guys! ;)
Invoice #38270
This was instant setup.
You were sent the activation email the same minute you completed the payment for the order.

I emailed you and support and have not got a response.
My two allocated IP’s I’ve tried come up as blacklisted.
If you send out emails from the mail server, they end up in most email addresses junk folders
Can you provide me a whiltelisted IP please?
All sorted now, Thanks.
For anyone that wants to install OpenVPN, their host nodes do not have the bridge installed into the Kernel. So it’s not possible.
I submitted a ticket asking if they can install it or not.
#604693
Waiting to see if they can do it or not.
Ignore my previous comment. It was all sorted out, was an installation mistake on my end.
Support is great, they reply within mintues.
I’d rate this company a 10/10.
Hi Imtiax,
Did u discover sth special about the openvpn installation with this vps ? I tried the other day but at the end for some reason it was not working. I was in a hurry and I installed a pptp service that works ok until now, but in the future I want to make work openvpn. Can u tell me if you’ve followed some special tutorial (I’ve used ubuntu’s one and the one of this same page, but not working… :S)
Thanks.
Maarten at LowEndBox has written an informative article on how to get started with OpenVPN last week, I would recommend this because alot of the OpenVPN guides on the internet are outdated and may not be accurate today.
http://lowendbox.com/blog/getting-started-with-openvpn-server/
BTW outstanding job on this article @Maarten Kossen! Will definitely come in handy for me one day, bookmarked. :]
Chris
@AcuBcn I couldn’t get OpenVPN to work either. I did it exactly like how I did it on all my other VPS’s with other Providers and it works fine.
I even tried using an Automated script that you can find on Google to install OpenVPN. It worked fine with other providers but not here. Not sure why. Probably their Kernel config or something.
Anyways I resorted to using PPTP as well. guess were in the same boat.
if only someone could help me find a tutorial for setting up pptp with centos and CFD installed. It connects but no data is sent/received.
will be thankful
I failed installing OpenVPN too, and have been trying installing L2TP/IPSEC.
ipsec verify gives me this output:
Version check and ipsec on-path [OK]
Linux Openswan U2.6.38/K(no kernel code presently loaded)
Checking for IPsec support in kernel [FAILED]
SAref kernel support [N/A]
Checking that pluto is running [OK]
Pluto listening for IKE on udp 500 [FAILED]
Pluto listening for NAT-T on udp 4500 [FAILED]
Checking for ‘ip’ command [OK]
Checking /bin/sh is not /bin/dash [WARNING]

I guess it is because the kernel is too old! WIll file a ticket!
Contact us to enable the iptables modules on your server. Make sure that TUN/TAP and PPP is enabled for your VPS, you can enable this from the SolusVM VPS CP.
Chris
Still no UK location.
Is it planned in near future or out of stock for a long time?
Fromtheir admin panel:
UPDATE Sept 5: Our latest group of new servers in the UK is now full, we are now officially sold out in our United Kingdom location and are no longer accepting new orders for this location at this time.
Anybody buy one at Dallas data center?
Can you setup a 500k file for me to test download speed from my location.I want to know which is faster between my location to LA/Dallas.Please reply me or contact me admin@hylin.org.
Thanks a lot.
I have bought the 1 year plan, in Dallas, the setup is pretty fast, within 2 minutes, everything done and they migrated to 1 Gbps in 10 minutes after mailing. Disk I/O and network speed are very good.
Only observation I had was, the control panel is not secured with https, real concern to me.
Can you setup a 500k file for me to test download speed from my location.I want to know which is faster between my location to LA/Dallas.You can send the link to my email(admin@hylin.org).
Please help me.Thanks a lot.
Good morning Krish,
Thanks for the great comment!
Have you tried using https on the VPS CP? :] https has always been available but thank you for reminding me to update our email templates to show https.
Chris
@WeLoveServers can I buy a US VPS now and have it transfer to a UK datacentre when it is available?
Absolutely.
Waiting for UK stock.
also expect UK restock
Please send me an e-mail when restock the UK datacenter. Many thanks.
Waiting for UK restock as well…
witing for UK restock.
Yes they are really great. thx
Another one waiting for a UK (Even Greater London area) restock :)
waiting for UK Location too :D, very good provider indeed.
At the moment their UK network is sluggish and not as fast and reliable as before.
Some problems with their minimal templates, other than that the service is great.
Hope everything will be okay.
I agree UK is now slower, guess they oversold this one.
Negative, it’s far from being oversold. Let’s just say IP space is our bottleneck in the UK… we ran out of IPv4 space before we could even fill up our current UK servers by 75%. We have much more capacity available resource wise, but it means nothing without additional IPv4 space. Once we receive our larger IP block and our group of brand new servers in the UK is ready we will be adding more stock, but we do not expect this to happen for at least the next few weeks because our provider is low on IPs in the UK atm, which is why we are out of stock for UK orders right now.
I just ran a speed test on all UK VPS nodes, all received similar results to the below.
Let me know what your definition of slow is so I can work to meet your needs, because I don’t see anything wrong on any of our UK VPS nodes. My email is c.boswell@weloveservers.net
Chris
From my UK node, a bit less than Chris’s values, but it is great for me already

I’m new to VPS and I had to get a bit of help with DNS settings. The ticket was answered right away! I’m very impressed.
I use to have shared hosting but wanted more control.
The speed is much better than before. I managed to install zpanel which is much more like what I’m used too (cpanel).
I chose this provider because I did not see many negative review on it…
So far so good… Time will tell for the rest.
Kent req too !
Hello WeLoveServers,
I am from Hungary.
VPS Hosting – Anniversary Sale – LEB 1GB
…will it be available at UK location? If yes, could you tell me when?
Hi All,
Which server:
1. Los Angeles, California – 192.210.195.2,
2. Dallas, Texas – 192.227.137.2,
3. Buffalo, New York – 192.227.135.130, or
4. Orlando, FL – 72.29.70.131
gives better access speed from China?
Thanks,
Dennis
I have VPSs in all their locations, from Vietnam, LA has best access ~ 200ms when ping. FL is longest ~ 290ms
I would say LA.
Any updates on UK? I would love to get one from there. Thanks.
Same for me. I want UK.
methinks, with the advent of the block of available addresses, the UK location will be oversold as hell
:)
i have to chime in to brag on these guys support…
I’m now to VPS, and I have been hitting them with several support tickets…4 or 5 so far. They just keep knocking them out – there aren’t any long waits, and you really get the feeling that they actually WANT to help you. Thanks guys!
Thanks! We’re always more than happy to help out wherever we can.
Chris
Thank to good I/O > 150Mb/s and excenllent network. I will vote top #1 for they in Q3.
Yuh, I think this will be fair for what they are doing especially Chris.
That is very kind of you! :]
Any new news on the UK servers? More importantly will this offer last until more UK servers are available?
I wish to get one of these but id much rather a UK one
Same here.
Also completely new to vps. A question about the control panel. As I see in the offer the control panel is SolusVM, isn’t it? But in the shopping cart there are two panels for additional payment, one free (Kloxo) and no panel by default. What would be the right thing to do when ordering? And Chris, I know it’s repetitive – I also want the UK location, on the other hand would like to grab this offer while it lasts. Could you once more confirm that I’ll be able to change the location when you get more UK capacity? Please…
Hey Alexander,
Those are completely separate things. :) SolusVM is a VPS CP for shutting down, powering on, or restarting your server, in addition with other features like reimaging your VPS’s operating system, tracking bandwidth/disk/RAM usage, viewing fancy graphs of your server usage and the likes.
The control panel on the order forms i.e. Kloxo is a control panel for managing your domains, we offer free installation of Kloxo to make it easy on our customers, but it isn’t hard to install yourself either. You can learn more about Kloxo at http://lxcenter.org/software/kloxo
We also offer paid control panels i.e. cPanel and DirectAdmin.
But it’s important to remember that for those experienced with Linux, you can manage everything via SSH and not even have a control panel. Control panels like Kloxo and cPanel just make it easier to manage hosting websites on your server.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Serien , what is the price for the DA licence?
We offer Direct Admin for $10/Month.
Please open a ticket or email Sales@weloveservers.net if you would like to purchase this addon.
Kloxo is a panel with which you can manage your websites etc. Solus is used for managing vps like restart and such..
Can i have torrent service on your vps?
Hi,
I’m very interested in a VPS located in UK.
Is there any restok in sight?
TIA
Sorry, 1000GB bandwidth is per month?
I would also know whether the 1000GB bandwidth is per month before placing an order.
Moreover, in a thread last August on LET, someone from the WLS staff mentioned that inbound traffic was unmetered and free for all VPSs (http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/12397/weloveservers-256mb-12-yearly-vps-special-in-3-locations-exclusive-let-bonus-inside) and that only outbound traffic was counted against the monthly limit. Is it the case with this offer as well?
Thanks!
It is per month with free unmetered inbound traffic.
Yes, basically, I think we’d like a confirmation that the exchange on this page:

@WeLoveServers can I buy a US VPS now and have it transfer to a UK datacentre when it is available?
September 6, 2013 @ 10:36 am | Reply
Christopher Boswell:
Absolutely.
____________
is still valid and applies to everyone waiting for the UK location.
I think the main question is: Is there any costs in transferring your VPS from one location to an other?
Hey Rick,
There is no fee to move the VPS over to the UK Datacenter at a later date. As Chris said we are out of stock at the present moment in the UK because no IP space is available, in addition to this we are waiting for the new servers to be built and sent out to the UK.
When are you expecting to receive IPs in UK?
I actually got their $19/year deal a couple of weeks back and well, what can I say? It’s awesome! Their customer service is also really good. They came back to me with an answer after I made the ticket and made things right. Highly recommended.
Happy to have you with us Keith, thanks for the recommendation.
Just got a VPS with We Love Servers. Excellent support team. Well done guys!
I would just like to say that it has been over 24 hours and my server is still pending. I think they may have run out or something? I needed to use the VPS like 36 hours ago when I ordered.
Well, i guess just need to open a ticket and it will be solved very fast like my cases. I love this provider for their excellent service.
They fixed it pretty fast, it was my fault as you need to enter a hostname with an extension.
Hi,
Please help the noob.
can i isntall hosting panel on them and hosting multiple sites & domains?
Thanks
yes you can :)
Just bought one of the 19$/year ones in buffalo and its still not activated after several hours, sent a ticket, teh guy only repiled “ill forward this to management” and nothing else. My understanding was it should be ready instantly after paid.
I guess it is because they are out of stock in buffalo, in the order form now there are only 2 locations available
Hey crnkoj,
We manually activated all of the pending orders so you should be up and running now.
Thanks, works now
Hey everyone,
Thank you for the ongoing interest.
As of September 25, what you see in the order form under the locations selection is all the VPS locations we have available for new orders right now. At the moment we are out of stock in almost all of our locations and currently only have Los Angeles and Orlando in stock, but these remaining locations are also running low on stock at the rate we have been selling.
We have been doing our very best to keep up with the demand and response, and have already ordered multiple servers in each location but it will be about a week due to shipping delays.
Want to be the first to know when we have our other locations back in stock? Add your email here: http://core.weloveservers.net/announcements.php?id=10
Buffalo Node 13 IO performance is a joke, never gets above 20 MB/s. :-(
yep, and the internet connection is a joke since today 4pm CET, can barely even ssh into it as the delay is all of a sudden immense and the package loss is practically 100% on ping
WLS – sucks?
no, they have great support, they fixed it within half an hour after opening a ticket, they said someone was abusing something and got blocked now. So all works fine now
So is the Gbit port upgrade still in effect or is that permanently gone?
Hey Jimmy,
Yes, it’s still in effect.
Signed up about a week ago. Complete noob. Figured out how to install openvpn and its up and running. Maxes out my home connection so its all good. Only problem is I can’t seem to stream Hulu as it states Im not in the USA. I have a NY box.
you need to push the address of the server to your openvpn clients
Looks like there’s a 72hr offer of double specs for double the promo price, which is pretty fantastic.
On the other hand, while support seems very responsive, the DNS service seems to be broken. I’ve been going back and forth with support, (I’m guessing their DNS doesn’t support .co domains), and I’m afraid I’ll probably have to go back to using Godaddy’s DNS service. If anyone from WeLoveServers is reading this, please help out with ticket #257085.
Thanks!
Howdy Koguma,
I appreciate the great comment! I can confirm that our DNS service does support .co domains. Looking at ticket 257085, I was able to find your domain and your domain is loading on my side. Perhaps your ISP has not finished propagating yet. You can verify with IntoDNS or a proxy to see that your domain is indeed configured properly.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the update. I actually found the solution in the knowledge base. I’m guessing this is a ‘pecularity’ of SolusVM’s DNS implementation. It needs both a root level A record and WWW as an A record. Even if you don’t use or want a WWW A record, you need one. Strange, but after doing that, it works.
All in all a good experience so far. Thanks!
Happy to hear that! Thanks Koguma!
where is namesever??
how look?
i`m beginner plz help
There are two options you have when it comes to DNS/nameservers:
1. Use our redundant nameservers
2. Operate your own DNS service (i.e. bind/named/nsd) and nameservers
For more details, please see this article: http://core.weloveservers.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=8

After a few good weeks I am seeing very poor peformance the past several days from my Orlando, FL VPA (The $19 annual deal). Hard to complain at that price but see the bench(s) below – NOTE the initial bench and below the last done just now.

Greetings,
As discussed via your support ticket, there is no issue with the Orlando network. Something must be inaccurate with the script that you are using to benchmark, my guess would be that the download mirrors are not up to date.
For example, in your test posted above, you received 608KB/s to Softlayer Seattle, yet I used their own test file here http://www.softlayer.com/about/datacenters/seattle and received 10-11 MB/s on the host node your VPS is on.
Another example would be SoftLayer Washington DC. You posted 994KB/s, yet a speedtest download link from http://www.softlayer.com/about/datacenters/washington-dc shows 31 MB/s.
If you have any further concerns, please open a ticket at https://core.weloveservers.net/submitticket.php. Our average response time is just <10 minutes :]
Chris
What are you using for the benchmarks? Sysbench?
your website down??
Good morning,
Our website is not down. I haven’t gotten any alerts from our monitoring services either. Please flush your DNS, clear your cache and check it again.
Chris
This company is a scam. Paid for services and decided It just was not for me. The reply I recived was “Refunds are offered on a case by case basis. If we made an error or there is an issue with our service, we will always be the first to acknowledge it and grant a refund or appropriate compensation if requested.
==
Please note that you agreed to the TOS upon ordering your service. If there is anything else I can do for you, feel free to let me know.
Thank you for your understanding.”
Be warned… if you are wanting to have your money stolen do not buy from these guys.
Jordan – Our TOS is crystal clear about refunds, you agreed to it when ordering and we mutually expect our clients to comply with our TOS/AUP the same way you expect us to stick to our TOS/AUP.
You contacted us requesting a refund just because you decided that you didn’t need the vps anymore, if there was a problem with the VPS and an attempt to contact support to resolve it was unsuccessful, we are more than happy to provide a full refund. I would say our policy when it comes to refunds (and everything else in general) is more than flexible, but in your case we felt a refund wasn’t justified for as we provided everything you paid for. As of right now, your vps service is still humming along and active.
I do not see how this makes our company a scam.
Not to be that guy here but technically their agreement does state that it is at their discretion to offer them. Live, learn, and be sure you need a VPS. I feel they are not a scam because they did put my server up with exactly what was advertised. I do hope I will be able to keep my server going at the $19 a year after the first year but if I don’t then I wont bash them because I got what was advertised at the time, as you accepted the terms as they are now.
Greetings,
The $19 a year promotional rate is guaranteed for the life of the service, you will be able to renew your server at the same rate.
Chris
Then you good sir have just made a customer for a very long time, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Not a problem Bradley, thank you for choosing WeLoveServers! We appreciate your business.
Chris
Though that was more me just trying to give the guy an example of needing to mellow out and harden up.
If it were just a mere $20 dollars I would let the issue go, but it’s not.
So…ummm….as long as you don’t need that VPS, can I have your SSH ? xD
That right there made me laugh.
I have had a server through them for a week in NY and I am still very happy with them, the price is beyond low and the quality so far has been top notch. Even their support team is very fast to respond.
Thanks for the great words!
Any update on the UK, please…
The servers themselves have been ready the problem is the IP’s. RIPE is requesting additional information from our provider hence the delay. Unfortunately the demand for IPV4 and low supply has effected us the same way it has affected every other company. So that is what the hold up is on getting UK back in stock, we hope to be taking orders for our UK location again soon. We have the new group of servers racked and ready… only waiting on the IP situation atm.
Chris
An update for my servers 17 days later. Still one of the better hosts I have had the pleasure of being hosted with. I have had about 35sec of downtime but that is fully acceptable IMHO. I will definitely be getting a second server on my next paycheck.
Thanks for the clarification. Loooking forward to the new home then.
i want to try the vps,
i want to setup for monthly, can i change billing circle to anually later? or i have to make new order later for anually.. ? and for ip6 is it available?
one more question, is free upgrade to gigabit port is still avalable?
The answer to all of your questions is yes – for IPv6 we have native IPv6 available in Orlando, other locations currently do not have IPv6 available.
Chris
It’s an great offer but it is possible to set a Reverse DNS?
Absolutely we can get Reverse DNS setup for you.
Chris
Like many of you I just missed out on the UK location when this deal was first announced. But Chris@Weloveservers said if I wanted to take advantage of the offer and accept a US location he’d switch me at the earliest opportunity. Well, true to his word he contacted *ME* in the early hours of this morning saying some UK addresses had been released and would I still like him to move me over? Of course I said yes. From personal experience, I know of a few resellers that could learn a thing or two about customer service from these people. Good effort and thanks for your attentiveness. So far I’m very pleased I went with this deal.
Thanks for the positive words Colsta!
Hi,
I am a new comer from share hosting ,i would be a looking a vps server for hosting my few sites.but i am sorry i have a no any idea to how to install wordpress or joomla in kloxo control panel,

Thanks
is it any trouble connect to tor network?
I would like to make some web service for tor networks to make some websites about freedom.
I suppose its fine, as long as you’re not operating a TOR exit node on our network.
Chris
Last few days have been very very flakey. I don’t know if it’s indicative of what’s in store for the future… there was a crash on oct 8th. and then 3 reboots in the past 2 days:
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Tue Oct 15 20:08 – 12:35 (16:26)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Mon Oct 14 21:56 – 12:35 (1+14:39)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Mon Oct 14 00:01 – 12:35 (2+12:33)
Seems like it was a bad drive on the host. Wish communication was better to let everyone on the host know there are issues. But the response to the ticket was quick. So still happy. :)
Good Morning,
Whenever there is an issue with a host, we publish them and do our very best to keep everyone updated via our status page at https://core.weloveservers.net/serverstatus.php
You must be logged into the client area in order to view the page. Email me directly @ c.boswell [at] weloveservers [dot] net as I would like to take a few minutes to speak with you regarding this.
On another note we will be adding 24×7 phone support this week as we want to offer even more ways for our customers to reach out to us in addition to tickets and email, we are finalizing the setup of the phone system as we speak. We should also have some positive news regarding UK stock in the next coming days.
Chris
Wonderful service, Chris! Very confident to locate all my servers with you.
VPS is down for me at the moment. I have submitted a ticket. Thanks.
Hi Chris,
My happiness factor is quickly heading south. I’m starting to get pretty upset actually. The reboots of my instance are continuing daily even though I was told it was a drive issue that was replaced.
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Thu Oct 17 21:57 – 15:48 (17:51)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Wed Oct 16 23:08 – 15:48 (1+16:39)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Tue Oct 15 20:08 – 15:48 (2+19:40)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Mon Oct 14 21:56 – 15:48 (3+17:52)
reboot system boot 2.6.32-042stab08 Mon Oct 14 00:01 – 15:48 (4+15:47)
We haven’t been having any issues – this could be an isolated issue with your VPS. Anyway, I believe I received your email and I am personally handling your ticket now.
Thank you for personally taking care of it Chris! No more reboots! Happy meter is full again! :)
I also wanted to take the time to thank everyone who have voted or will vote for us in the Top Providers Q3 poll at Lowendtalk: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/14688/top-providers-2013-q3-poll
Your support is greatly appreciated!
An update to my issue above, it has been resolved very quickly. The system didn’t recognize my hostname. I would say the server is pretty good so far only with 1-2 min downtimes occasionally. it is LIGHTNING FAST even though it is hosted thru chicagovps, it sure beats the $30 vps that I have at chicagovps. I left MiniVPS and possibly chicagovps because I got in on the double every thing plan which is great.
Satisfied so far.
Iniz and UGVPS seem to be trying to muster some kind of competition for the annual deal here…I was tempted to give in to the INIZ Amsterdam deal….But I already have been using some servers through this offer, and, in every transaction, I have had nothing but satisfactory results on my end.
Having used several different providers at times and trying out different services, I can say that Chris and crew @W.L.S. have exceeded my expectations in performance on this offer…
I am now working on migrating the last of my data from my old providers over to WLS.
I<3 W<3S
+f0r3v3r+
So many accolades, that I begin to doubt their veracity…
Iniz, UGVPS…It would be nice if the consumer wins
in my mind servermania offer (2G-48$/year) is attractive
but I have not yet decided to take up this offer
Funny that I was once also so obsessed with servermania offer, and finally end up with 7 servers with this provider. I guess the team know how to keep their customers for long.
I always wonder if someone said – “I moved all my servers to this provider”. Guys, have you ever heard the saying, the inadmissibility keep all eggs in one basket? :-)
If the basket is in good hands I am not worried…
for quite a long wait, UK location, to personally test these hands ;-)
It transpires that I’ve been one of those affected by the intermittent hardware issue in the UK. But here’s a different spin: in my opinion a true test of a company’s worth is how they perform when things *aren’t* going right. Even though the issue is outside their direct control, I can honestly say Chris and his team couldn’t have done more to keep me a happy customer … and that is worth a lot.
I’m the sort of person that likes to know the minutiae of problems so I can assess for myself how it will impact me. WLS have kept me abreast of the situation, what diagnosis they were performing, what they had found and what they were going to do about it. If problems *are* going to occur, it’s this level of support that I expect and yet few meet the mark. So I’m confident WLS are in it for the long haul and I look forward to getting the 99.9% uptime promised as from this evening ;)
Very fast deployment, absolutely no reason to complain, Vps is very good too (LA and Dallas nodes).
Support is fast, nice and professional.
I can only recommend them.
Thanks for the recommendation – greatly appreciated!
Good Evening,
We wanted to post a comment to let everyone know that the location that a lot of you have been waiting for is now back in stock: London, UK!
Act fast, as we only have 200 spots available in our UK location because of the RIPE IPv4 shortage in the EU.
Chris
Thanks, just ordered and paid. Very quick setup! Can’t wait to play.
Did order too, i’m just wondering about the i/o perfs on Node34 – UK. Getting some pretty bad score (right after install on Debian 6 and had almost the same on Debian 7), maybe it’s normal behaviour? :
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 33.2133 s, 32.3 MB/s
Node39 UK – looks much better
dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=1M count=1k conv=fdatasync
4.3367 s, 248 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
5.24668 s, 205 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=1M count=1k oflag=dsync

dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=64k count=16k oflag=dsync
11.6466 s, 92.2 MB/s
and by the way support is really very fast,
keep it up guys!
Will do! Thank you for choosing WeLoveServers.
Tested! LEB 1GB, UK.
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/10/26/aT5Vv7a5ROTQIlBz
How do you run benchmard? What company did you select there since WLS is not listed?
Why your US servers use latest Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 v3 @ 3.40GHz and your UK nodes use old Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz
Today i order one ,because i keep looking a feed backs customers here and they replies .Hope they will gave me a good service.
cheers
Do you allow proxy script’s (Glype) ?
Thanks,
Anthony
Good Morning,
Yes we do allow proxy’s.
Chris
1 week with the service (Dallas node) and it is excellent. Very fast server and excellent time to support requests. Good job guys, keep it up!
Thank you! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.
Chris
Just ordered one in Kent lets see how it goes.
Did the same.

Hello,
I was 2 weeks ago get a vps hosting from them ,still i face to the DNS problem .the name servers not working for my domains .i need to get a help from them ,
http://www.windots.com
it is a my main domain .
they are replied but still not get a practically help .any one know solve to this Name server problem please explain ..
i cant add A records too , please help to remove in your name servers then i can add my main domain name there .those are following name servers not workout ..?
dns1.weloveservers.net
and
dns2.weloveservers.net
Greetings Dias,
I remember personally working with you to resolve this a couple weeks ago, if I recall correctly you did not add your domain properly to the DNS manager which is why you were facing issues…
Any other issues, please let us know. For others reading this curious, we offer complimentary DNS hosting for our VPS customers, which saves you the effort from managing your own DNS server. For more details please see http://core.weloveservers.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=8
Chris
I am planning to buy the vps. Will I be able to create private nameservers using your nameserver ips? Or do i need to buy 2 additional ips?
Aha… after waiting long time cud get UK location also !! :)
I’ve been with WLS for about a year now and service has been exceptional. These people have a real business and customer support plan set up, and not just taking payments on orders like my old host. I got myself two 1GB VPS machines, and recommended a friend over as well who was considering Chicago VPS. This deal was way too good to pass up and ignore.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Joshua!
I’ve read every post here and I would like to join as a customer. I do have extenuating circumstances that I do not feel comfortable speaking about in public. I will go far as to say that I have small companies that rent space from me and use my development services for their websites.
I followed the link to your site and but the price was totally different from what was stated on LEB. I’m sure this is only an issue where LEB has run out of stock on your item.
If we can get a conversation started about my needs, I’d like to get started with you as soon as possible.
Thanks !
KM
The prices on their website are their regular prices. If you wish to take advantage of the deals listed, you must click on the link that says “Order Link” under the plan you would like.
Yeah, what Josh said is correct. Any other questions, please ask.
Can we expect UK to be available again any time soon?
We do have further stock available in our UK datacenter now :)
Thank you.
Had an instant activation as well as a response to my email in just a few minutes.
Will recommend to friends.
Hello. I’ve sent you an e-mail Mr. Boswell but it seems you haven’t had time to read it yet.
My problem is that I kept getting e-mails asking me to pay for the server ($19/year) although I’ve paid when I rented it already. I’m still waiting for access on my server. Haven’t received a single answer except of “We will pass your ticket over to our management staff” (twice).
I’d be glad if we could resolve this soon. I know I shouldn’t post “support issues” here, but it seems your support team is not replying to anything I write.
Nevermind, my pay was finally registered and I have the server information now.
Can you do a deal on dedi in Orlando, FL
I have same question. FL is in stocK?
It is now :]
I am planning to buy the vps. Will I be able to create private nameservers using your nameserver ips? Or do i need to buy 2 additional ips?
I like to share understanding that I have accrued with the year to assist improve group functionality.
Hiya! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up
for the good information you have got right here on this post.
I will probably be coming back to your weblog for extra soon.
I can’t install mysql-server on Ubuntu 13.04
Unable to set password for the MySQL “root” user
An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL administrative user. This may have happened because the account already has a password, or because
of a communication problem with the MySQL server.
You should check the account’s password after the package installation.
Please read the /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.5/README.Debian file for more information.
I fixed it by installing Ubuntu 12.04 instead of Ubuntu 13.04.
Just got the offer, I did a check on more than 30 services and found this one was offering the most for the money and even more. Hopefully it will be set up soon. Going to use it for vpn solely, hopefully there is no issue watching netflix through it.
Does the 1Gbps upgrade still stand? Shall I send the support ticket or is it no longer valid?
Server done in less than 30 min, upgrade to 1gbps in less than 2 min, installed tun/tap within 2 min. Excellent customer support. Wish it was like that in most places.
I already replied on question of September 1, but I think no one will see this…
So my question again:
Any news about the ipv6 availability in the UK ?
Hello! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics? Thank you so much!
I am really impressed and satisfied with this company.
They have really fast servers and support :) This deal is just perfect.

Recently purchased the $19 plan, so far support and email response time has been fantastic, however I’m having weird trouble installing Webmin on 13.04 64bit (also tried 12.04 64) have re-installed OS several times but it always seems to hang at “Unpacking Webmin”. Disk access seems slow as well, while internet connection seems great, installing and upgrading appears to take forever (compared to another VPS I rent through another provider which averages >500MB/s) where I only seem to be getting an average of 16-50 MB/s on this server. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m on Node 11
Purchased a 1 year in Buffalo about a month ago and have had no problems. Had to send in a ticket for reverse DNS (email server) and issue was solved in a very prompt amount of time. I realize that prompt for some is not the same for me, but it was less than an hour!! I have re-installed a few times (my own fault) and server was right back up (5-10mins tops). Otherwise I am very please overall for the speed and support. I could see myself buying another one maybe in Dallas. $20 a year is cheap for great service!! Keep up the great work!!
Running : Ubuntu Server 12.04 32bit OS
Ticket #277997. Paid 3 hours ago. And so far no news? Can anyone help? Centos 6 with kloxo. Usd19 LA.
Having Incredible problems starting a pptp on a UK VPS, using same config that worked flawlessly
on a US VPN.
PPTP wil connect but not authenticate and then drop the connection.
It seems that the UK datacenter has issues forwarding port 47 that is vital for the PPTP GRE Protocol.
Have opened ticket #814578
But no satisfactory reply as of yet.
Have sent logs and screenshots.
Pity Because the US VPS is fantastic and works flawlessly.
I really hope they get this sorted out
Greetings Luigi,
I have already explained to you multiple times in your support ticket that this is a software configuration issue, this is not an issue with WeLoveServers.
All of the modules have already been enabled (TUN/TAP and PPP).

thanks chris,
i’ve launched an sos below, hoping for some help from one of your
kind clients.
regards.
L.
hello all,
just an update on my issue.
The help desk has been very helpful in trying to get the problem solved,
but i still can’t get the pptp to accept incoming connections.
The same config has been used successufully with 2 other providers, and
a US node at WLS.
Just a question, since i am really desperate at this point.
is anyone here successfully running a standard PPTP vpn on a We Love Servers UK KENT Node?
thanks to you all
Hi Luigi,
I’ve just had exactly the same problem in the Buffalo data centre (no incoming GRE traffic)
The support response was basically “it’s your configuration that’s wrong”, which I was very sceptical about but I was getting nowhere so I moved on. After wasting hours reinstalling, analysing logs, network traces and deciphering support responses, I decided to use OpenVPN which worked without problems.
I was in the middle of setting up the VPS as mirror for one my sites when the VPS was cancelled by Chris. Thankfully I didn’t have anything irreplaceable on the box.
I’d recommend either using OpenVPN or finding another provider if you’re still having problems using PPTP. You should be able to setup PPTP in less than 5 minutes, not 2 weeks!
We have plenty of clients who are using their VPS servers as a VPN service, and Luigi’s issue was indeed resolved completely a couple weeks ago…
Chris
Hello Chris,
Your support is still unable to resolve my issue which is the same as luigi and as you mentioned that luigi’s issue was resolved, I would love to get my issue resolved as well.
Waiting for your kind feedback.
Thanks
Imran
Hello Luigi,
How was your pptp issue with the UK node of WLS resolved as chris has mentioned it in his comment but I am facing the same issue and their support is still unable to resolve it.
Would you please advise me how it worked for you ?
Waiting for your feedback.
Thanks
imran
The issue has been resolved and Christopher really showed good concern to resolve the matter. He specially took time out from his busy routine and resolved the matter and my vps is working fine as a pptp server. Thanks and Keep up the good work Chris :)
Bought a “LEB 1GB” on July 2013, everything went smooth till yesterday. Judge this support ticket by yourselves:
|| Client
Server port, according to my VPS info (sent when bought it) is:
SSH Port: 22
Does it has changed? what is the correct server port then?
Also tried to connect via the Serial Console in Solus, it didn’t work either :(
|| Staff
Hi,
Please try to access it with correct SSH port.

[root@dhcppc1 ~]# ssh x.x.x.x

It looks like my server is down or has network issues, since I’m getting repetitive off-line warnings from a monitoring service.
Already tried to restart the restart on SolusVM, it says that server is online but problem persists.

Greetings,
I have located your support ticket and have responded to it with more information. It appears that you have modified your SSHD configuration file, and changed it from the default SSH port (22) to something else. For security reasons I obviously won’t be posting your custom SSH port in public, but I did go ahead and update your support ticket with it. You can also run “cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep Port” to verify.
You can use the SolusVM Console feature to access your server console to reset/reinstall SSH to restore it to the default configurations.
Chris
Hey!
Few questions:
1. Does the service feature a control panel?
2. Am I allowed to host public / private game servers (such as a Minecraft server) with this plan?
I’m impressed with the amount of great support and positive feedback given so far!
I received a really great reply to a sent support ticket, I am very impressed with the company so far!
(Heads up to those wanting to host their own Minecraft server, you cannot host one unless it is private and is not a burden on the CPU / IO.)
Thank you George!
Purchased a server as this offer is still available (i think). Opened a ticket before the sale asking about CentOS 5 image and got a response in 10 mins :-)
When I first got the server I tested the disk with DD (dd bs=1M count=256 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync) and got a normal result of 90 MB/s.
However, this morning I re-tested with the same command and got 661 MB/s! I’m not sure what changed or what disks they use, but this server is AMAZING! I also asked about the UK location in my ticket, however they are out of stock at the moment. Upload speed is a little slow (speedtest-cli), but still perfectly usable. VERY pleased with this service, you have me as a customer for life.

Good Morning,
Thank you for the great words, we’re happy to have you with us. Have you requested an upgrade to 1Gbps yet? I presume not going off your speedtest result. We are offering a free upgrade to anyone from LEB to a 1Gbps port if you open a support ticket and request it.
You should have much better speedtest results once your VPS has been upgraded to a 1Gbps port, as by default they are on 100Mbps ports. :]
Chris
really it is good to be true….
those guys are amazing from sales to support…. all are fantastic and professionals.
Thank you so much for the offer and the support…
highly recommend all to go for this offer.
We feel the love! Thanks Eddy.
Do you offer freebsd system feature?
We do not offer FreeBSD.

I dont have paypal account, can I pay ma credit card or by bitcoins? If yes how could I do that? There is no option at checkout.
Even if you are not a registered PayPal member, you are able to complete your purchase by paying via credit card.
Chris
Hi cris. Does LEB1GB allow transcoding?
We allow it, as long as the CPU usage isn’t considered abusive.
Chris
I think this provider has overselling their VPS/
I got this result after 2 month use their vps.

Your vm is fater than mine.
Intrested. But last 2 comments above worries me. Oversold server?
I have one of these in Orlando. Performance is pretty bad, using Node51 right now and anything disk related is terrible. Just executing some simple scripts that start up processes take time. Updating the box also takes a while. Not very happy with this deal but for what it cost i can manage.
Oh and forgot to mention that the bad performance translates to SolusVM as well. Note the error:
An error occurred processing your request. The host is currently unavailable. Please try again later
Status Unknown
IPv4 Address 1
IP Address xxxxxxxxx
Virtualization Type (OpenVZ)
Hostname vps.com
Node Node51 – ORL
The VPS is up, it’s just that performance sucks so bad that i can’t even manage it from the panel most of the time (forget about reinstalling it or any other control panel related activity).
I’m guessing they read this, the performance of my box seems to have improved substantially since I wrote this comment.
I highly recommend WeLoveServers, Been Their Customer for last 10months and i would tell their System have 99% and Their support ticket, Oh! No words about it. Great Support and Great Service.
the worth servers and service, i bought 3 vps and always my servers was offline …. long time to resolve the problem.
Simply wish to say your article is as astonishing.
The clearness for your submit is just spectacular and i could think you are an expert in this subject.
Thank you one million and please keep up the rewarding work.
