  How much will it be after a year? Is the order renewed automatically?

    You can choose when you pay if you want it to be renewed automatically or not - I did as it was a work card, so I went through stripe. There is also paypal, and for stripe there is a box you can tick to not have recurring billing.

    The price should be the same after a year as it's 40% off for life

    The discount is for life, which I presume would be as long as you hang onto the product.

    Edit: Beaten by OP :)

  How long does it take to have the account activated?

  I have received the account information last night around 9:40, but those details still not working this morning.

  EDIT: I'm in after doing a password reset.

    For me it was a couple of minutes, the details worked as soon as I got them

  you can get a 2048MB openvz vps from chicagovps for $60/3years ($20/year). no ssd but still good value. 2 ipv4 addresses https://billing.chicagovps.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0

    Some people wouldn't get Chicago VPS because it uses ColoCrossing, and RamNode has SSD backed storage. But it all depends on your usage. If lots of memory is needed, there are certainly more choices with crazy price that's unthinkable a few years ago.

    That deal doesn't exist any more? Can still get a similar deal from their "bargain bin" but it is $7/month.

      it is just from lowend box http://lowendbox.com/?s=chicagovps . there's also a ssd deal there but it's slightly more expensive @ $30/year

  I signed up to the Netherlands 50GB SSD-cached HDD plan. I am getting 330ms ping from Perth and about 1.32MB/s. How does that compare with Seattle? (By contrast I can download at 8.6M/s from cache-fly to Perth, and can download at 54MB/s from cache-fly to the Netherlands server)

  I signed up with them in December & ended up getting kicked off for 'high CPU usage' after a few days. I had the VPS set up to run back-end jobs for a site, which had been running fine on a Xen VPS here in Australia for the last ~2 years, but needed to be moved to a provider with more bandwidth (so we moved to a much cheaper USA provider).

  The server seemed fast, and the contact with them was good (fast, knowledgeable & polite responses), but answers were pretty disappointing:

  • They could not provide a VPS container with isolated CPU/Ram share of the server
  • My instance was slowing down everyone else on the VPS node (note I never had a problem at my previous host).
  • I had to cancel and move on (they provided a full refund, as they asked me to change hosts).
  • They also informed me that they do not have proper cpu/ram isolation on their KVM service either.

  Long story short, dont go with an OpenVZ container, as the virtualization layer does not have proper CPU/Ram isolation, meaning the can be oversold & show inconsistent performance. Stick with Xen or KVM.

  There are quite a few offers on lowendbox, just research a few reviews and do a few speed tests before signing up.

  http://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers , I ended up going with a fliphost KVM service. Not as fast as the RamNode service (CPU intensive part of the scripts take a bit longer), but no issues with overloading the node etc..

  Set one of these up with ISPconfig3 (has a 1 command install script for debian, very little linux knowledge required) and you have your self a very low cost alternative to a Cpanel installation :-)

    I'm curious how high the cpu usage actually was, did you record the load averages?
