So I log in and start poking around, lets see what kind of box this is, kind of vitalization, all that fun stuff. Oh I also installed Plesk (Full Install), and Updated Windows with a successful install of IE 8.

Server Specs
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
512 MB of RAM
25 GB Disk Space
1Gbit Network
VMWare

I started to do some speed test from the box and I would also like others to test it out for me as well.

From VPS Speedtest.net

Public Download Test:
http://38.100.214.58/Mom_Sky_Dive.zip - 50 MB Video of my mom skydiving.

So far I have emailed Sales and Support a few times to get a few questions answered, Support has been pretty quick, Sales longer. Overall I can't complain especially for a $11 Windows VPS.

My speed tests have been all over the board from 400k to 30Mbit, but I still can't complain.

Thanks,
Anthony

So what kind of the question you might have? Could you please explain a bit?

[kexhosting]

I think he was posting a review.

[RubyRingTech]

Morning,
No questions but a bit of a review. The idea of a $10 Windows VPS made me pretty questionable, but they deliver what they claim.
Thanks,

How is this even legal?

I'm pretty sure Windows license itself will cost twice as much.

[RubyRingTech]

Either they are running legal, or there copy is not blocked at MS yet, as I was able to update, install IE 8, and pass the genuine copy test.

Either way, its working. WHT has a thread going about these guys and some problems with MS, but its being traced to the DC not there copies of Windows.

It might well be just a promotion to boost sales.

[Ruriko]

I'm seeing alot of bad reviews on digital point forum =[

[RubyRingTech]

Well I can add to the idea, that my first VPS from them is still going, but when I tried to order a new one, nothing, no response to my sales, and magically after I submitted a cancel request the VPS login shows up.

Since there using Paypal can't even dispute it.

Sigh.

[[SRVLYR] Ivan]

their website is down and etc

[RubyRingTech]

@Servelayer, yeah as this was a year ago. They crashed and burned check out wht for this old provider.

[[SRVLYR] Ivan]

oh wow, lmao.

[eSupun]

For now days, it's no surprise. You can find many providers who offers Windows VPS's for more cheap price than this.
Check http://lowendbox.com

Anyway I think they were using datacenter edition. That's why they can offer them for cheap prices.

[jphilipson]

Yeah, the numbers don't compute here for Windows VPS hosting. There is no way it could be legit at that price with M$ and VMware licensing costs.

[adulti]

hell, they are down faster than their customers. Low cost brings low stabilty. I'd better buy a vps from company with good reputation.

i want to ask what is a normal price for linux VPS?

I suppose that normal price will depend on the configuration of VPS and network.

I think you need to open new thread for that. That might have much more answers.
