Alex, from FlipHost, has sent in his first ever offers, for LowEndBox readers! These OpenVZ SSD plans are exclusive to LowEndBox and come with free backups, Anycast DNS and Offloaded SQL.
FlipHost have never been featured on LowEndBox before, though they’re pretty active on LowEndTalk. Alex informs us that the minimum specifications of their Kspliced Nodes, consists of: E3-1230v2 CPU, 32GB RAM and 4 x Intel 335 SSD in Hardware Raid 10 with a LSI MegaRaid 9266/9271 card. Some of their servers are using Dual E5-26XX CPU’s. Next month FlipHost will have been in business for an impressive 2 years! They’re currently working on a “VPS Auto Script Installer” (sneak peak). The only review I could fine was this one. It would be great if more reviews were left. Update: Storage plan has now sold out.
FlipHost accept payments via Paypal. Refunds are issued on a case by case basis. For their storage plan: Legal Torrents are allowed however you must throttle the download to prevent I/O abuse & a 1Gbps upgrade is available for $2 per month. Full Backups are taken every 6 hours (Self Restore) – Not Applied to Storage VPS (kb). Offloaded SQL can be requested via ticket. Anycast DNS management (Rage4) is also available for customers. We are told that you can host whatever you like as long as if it is legal in the U.S. and does not hurt or affect the performance of the node. Tor Exits are however not allowed. You can view their Terms of Service for more information.
