Community provider Hivelocity shared a video announcement on LowEndTalk to tease their upcoming VPS launch (see below).
If you’re not familiar with HV, they’ve offered great deals on dedicated servers to our community for a long time. Some examples:
- E3-1230 v6 3.5GHz Kaby Lake, 32GB DDR4, 480GB SSD, 20TB/1Gbps, Tampa, Atlanta, NYC, Dallas, LA, & Miami Data Centers, $62/month
- E-2136 3.3GHz Coffee Lake, 64GB DDR4, 480GB SSD, 20TB/1Gbps, Tampa, NYC, Seattle, Chicago & LA Data Centers, $99/month
Now they’re moving into the VPS market.
What prices? What specs? What host nodes? We don’t know!
But some hints have been teased:
- $4/month for the entry price point, with “some specials for this community” 👍
- 3 US locations…which cities are not officially confirmed but they have some tests going on in LA so (my opinion) that location is likely one of the three

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

They used to have a VPS brand years ago called Sparknode (https://www.hivelocity.net/blog/hivelocity-launches-cloud-specialty-site-sparknode-com/). Interesting that they’re launching a new VPS lineup. I wonder what they’re doing differently this time.
