@Daniel15 has this spot on. This is Low End Talk.. the whole premise here is keeping costs low hence why you see older hardware, limited configuration options, and no frills hosting advertised.
We can of course offer "high end" boxes, but don't expect "low end" pricing!
Sounds interesting! Any looking glass? No small chicken? This is lowendtalk after all
Very impressive location, don't you currently have any billing sites? Something like WHMCS. If I want to order a try, is it only possible to contact you by email?
Perhaps you could let me know if you'd like to attach more IP addresses to the offer, thanks!
Our billing is done on Xero, we don't currently have a public-facing ordering system due to being out of the mass market for so long. Please drop us an email to order.
any vps deals?
Any IPv6-only VPS dealz?
We are not offering VPS currently
Perhaps you would be better off buying a server on UK eBay and having it shipped direct to us? We can offer some RH time to set up/install OS/etc if required. I suspect that would work out cheaper.
are you related to MI6?
If you are physically located in UK then something's definitely wrong with your network configuration and/or equipment.
From RO to your website's IP and another one randomly picked from BGP announcements, I have a latency comparable to New Jersey (and there's quite few oceanic cables involved).
Not mentioning the network is kinda unstable, packet loss here and there on a continuous MTR test.

I don't really know who'd like to host something in UK, but having the response time of US/Canada.
Good luck though!
You might want to provide traceroute/mtr and source information for him to properly investigate ;-)
I added some of their IPs to our smokeping a while back when they made their entrance, and since am seeing rather stable latencies, without significant loss. Monitored from our network in The Netherlands.
Well, tests were made from RCS-RDS S.A., Bucharest. I doubt the IP may be reachable too much, as it's a dynamic allocation, however: 82.76.27.14
Seeing no issues here, ping time seems to be fine from everything I've tested from. Might be an issue on your end?
Nope, same situation from Telekom Romania as well. Unfortunately this IP I can't disclose.

We are definitely in the UK, right here in fact...

However, without traceroutes it is really difficult to say what the issue you are seeing is. I would also advise against paying much attention when pinging a random IP address; you have no idea if that device is a server/router with a decent CPU to push pings back or an IOT device with a tiny embedded processor.
Here is a trace back from here to the IP you gave. Far better latency than you were reporting, and as you can see we hand over to rdsnet.ro at LINX in ~3.3ms, the rest of the latency (all 43ms of it) is within their backbone!
(edge3.lon.uk.as61337.net is our router connected to LINX LON1)
Hope that helps!
Unfortunately not. I do watch a James Bond movie every Christmas though, does that count?
yes, so i can be related to MI6 too
But does it withstand a nearby nuclear impact?
Dig a bunker below it, sell colocation at higher price.
Interesting offer. Is it possible to ship a big HDD from Amazon to attach to a dedicated server?
No, dedi servers come as they are. If you want to use your own hardware you can by a complete server and ship to us.
Only one of these left now ready to go (no HDD, but we can fit one) and one more that we are waiting on RAM for. Be quick if you want them!
No panel to control the server?
Everything through email support?
No panel yet, but we are already working on it already given how quickly these have sold.
Support via email ticket.
Box with HDD is sold. I have one of these left now but I’m waiting on RAM for it.
More stock coming next week!
Hi @ecomuk
All good with my server i'm renting so far, will the stock servers due in next week possibly have more memory? or more E3 stock as I could just rent a second?
Thanks
I don’t know the exact specs as yet, will see when the pallets turn up. I know we have a stack of HP DL360 gen9’s and another of Supermicro 1U. Probably arrive here on Wednesday so look out for an offer post shortly after that.
Oh shit, didn't know they also had a bunker. Thanks for sharing
TWO MORE now in stock and ready to go!
(we were waiting on RAM for them which is why they were held back)
These will be the last ones of these as our supplier has sold them all so grab a bargain while you can!
Not the right spec for you? Check out this thread for a preview of what we have coming next week.
Hello MI6, welcome to hosting business!
