Travis from EdgeVPS sent me this offer to have $4 off recurring discount on their “Student” package, when you use the promocode LEBspeical2011. It comes down to $6/month, and you get
- 512MB guaranteed/728MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 500GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Domain was registered only 2 weeks ago with WHOIS info hidden. Servers are hosted on a box at Netriplex in Asheville NC, and “it is a SAS 70 type II certified Datacenter” according to Travis. Yes that’s the same Travis Waye from HostLadder, where it’s currently “undergoing a major overhaul” (i.e. meet us at Dead Pool April 2011!) Would his new VPS hosting venture be better? We’ll see.
I understand that some regular readers here would have probably started to complain “why is LowEndAdmin posting this crap”, especially I am knowingly posting offers from questionable providers. LowEndBox has always been my personal research on those low end VPS providers and sorry I sometimes do take diversity over only offers from trusted providers. Someone might also been doing research on this very shop, or even been testing them out (like this guy here) — so hopefully the discussions here would surface on the radar of other spectators. I am also the kind of guy who usually gives benefit of doubt — to some extend at least.
