Luna Node - Chicago KVM, 13 IPv4 (/28) / 512 MB for $7.00/mo, PGP-encrypted email
Luna Node
Luna Node provides high quality unmanaged VPS hosting at an affordable price. We exclusively use KVM on all plans for the greater control that it gives users. At the moment we're offering various plans in Chicago with 512 MB to 8192 MB memory. We take payments through PayPal (either through PayPal account or credit card) and Bitcoin.
Budget plans come with RAID10 HDD storage and 5 IPv4 addresses (or, get 13 IPv4 addresses for $3.00/mo over standard prices; note that justification is required). SSD KVM plans come with a single IPv4 address and SSD storage. SSD KVM is backed up weekly.
On Budget VPS, we offer a custom VM control panel that features the typical management options (although we're currently still using SolusVM for our SSD KVM plans). Servers are provisioned out of SingleHop's Chicago datacenter.
All plans come with a free single-domain/wildcard AlphaSSL certificate (additional certificates are $2/yr). cPanel VM licenses are available at $10/mo.

For more details on how to get PGP-encryption to work, see http://lifehacker.com/180878/how-to-encrypt-your-email
Once you have your PGP public key, you can upload it to https://lunanode.com/gpgmw/ and within a few minutes all emails sent from our mail server will be encrypted with the uploaded key.
encrypted sales emails meh.
Why are you just throwing around IP adresses?
SSD KVM plans come with a single IPv4 address. Budget VPS comes with 5 IPv4 addresses by default but you can upgrade to a \28. Since Budget VPS is provisioned with a special system that uses block for each VPS, it would be a waste of three IP addresses if we provisioned with \30.
You can contact us by opening a ticket on the website, which uses SSL.
Edit: updated so that OP points to the ticket page.
It's not \28 or \30, it's /28 or /30.
Ah. Thanks.
As for the offer itself, I wonder actually why is this not more popular (looking at the previous post, it haven't had any comments from non-employees). 13 IPs for $7 looks like a crazy deal. Also with the wildcard cert included, as I said on LET IRC earlier, "and on top of all those goodies you also get a VPS".
The PGP E-Mail integration feature is also amazing, kudos for that.
We're working on FTP backup space for SSD KVM as well.
What a great offer!
hello. possible to upload debian 6? i only see deb 7
So... do you sell wildcard SSL certificates? If so, how much?
We sell wildcard SSL certificates for $2/yr if you purchase a VPS (after the first free one). We do not sell SSL certificates without a VPS purchase at this time.
This is possible. Please open a ticket.
Let me know when / if you do.
@perrenate: why is it when i try to order the budget vps it shows different pricing than advertised here?
edit: nvm. the price is auto-adjusted after checkout

This is incorrect. SSDKVM already comes with automatic weekly backup.
we are working on FTP backup for our budgetKVM packages.
I mean direct access FTP backup, not automatic FTP backup.
I am interested in the SSD KVM, but if for any reason I had to cancel, would I lose my wildcard certs?
You would not get a free refund if you received wildcard certificates. The certificates would not be revoked; you can purchase a VPS for a month and get a yearly certificate with the VPS.
Okay, I was just curious. I do have a need for the VPS, but the certificate offer is really tempting as well. Would not expect a partial refund on services not used. Thanks for the response!
Update: I signed up for their 1G budget KVM VPS. Provisioning was very fast, and so far the server is pretty damn fast, I am really impressed. I also very much like their management system built into WHMCS.
