Prometeus OVZ0 Plan ($9/year)
Hi there, I purchased this server yesterday from @Prometeus through a inbox session of fun!
Specs:
128MB Dedicated Ram
128MB vSwap
6GB SSD Disk Space (I assume so, judging by the IO!)
256GB BandWidth
1GBIT Connection
$9/y +21% eu vat
It's based on OVZ, and I am using it for a standalone web-server to host my personal website; chriseaston.info -- I'm currently using Debian 6 32Bit and used Minstall to minimalise the installation and optimize some common processes.
Firstly, the I/O is insanely fast. The network is on a 1GBit network and I often get 71~mb/s cachefly downloads. Here's my "bench.sh" output.

Secondly, I found the range of options of OS's a great help. Here's a screenshot.
I do also assume that he would install more images upon request, but CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu are the main ones, and the most used, perfect for "most" vps users.
Thirdly, the amazing support from @Prometeus has been IMMENSE this guy is so dedicated to what he does, he's an active user of LeT and really nice to talk to through inboxes.
A point to make in regards to "low" network speeds to some locations, is that this VPS is located in Italy, quite a lovely place, but unfortunately, is not "Bandwidth" central and doesnt appear to have a thousand and one ways out of the country to access other networks.
Prometeus if and when you read this, could you give me some insight into the exact specifications of the server, like SSD model, etc.
Thanks!

+1 for Prometeus. I'd show the munin graph of the uptime with my VPS with them, but our munin server is in transit.
Either way, highly recommended.
@Kbar you clearly havent had a @Damian / IPXCore VPS.
$9/year? :0
Damian, I'm running my blog with Minstall, but Munin can not produce the output to my Munin Server. Do you have any suggestion? Because my another vps which running Munin-Node without Minstall would work, and send Munin data to my Munin Server
where did you find the 9/year promo?
@ErawanArifNugroho @Jcaleb
I spoke to him personally, I think it was an old LEB Deal he had. I'm not sure if I should post the Direct SignUp Link or not. I'll leave that for him to do.
good deal

Third time refreshing this thread tonight, waiting for order link
@zhuanyi just pm prometeus directly i suggest
Figured it must be almost 3am over there and he must be sleeping, I sent in a ticket though, so far no one responded
wiat, $9 a year? @prometeus I want oneeeeeee
me too!!
Wait I'm paying 14USD/Y (without VAT) for the VZ0. I feel ripped off
come on, it is too cheap
Thanks for the kindly words :-)
you are on the same node with the VZ3, so if you like you can post a benchmark as I've seen you are a "maestro" now :-)
Edit: it IS a rip off, the price is in usd, just consider it a queue of the euro2012 madness :-)
this is not and ssd powered node, just a good SAS2 one :-)
Wrong dns records Haha
Ah.. Thank you Sir
I will try to make some post of Benchmark tonight, maybe 6 hours more.
I'm not a "maestro"
, I'm just an ordinary. I know how to post, because you teach me 
I already recommended Prometeus since the first day I had a VPS there. That didnt change a bit :P
It is on top of my EU locations and most VPSes I have in EU.
I am waiting for Damian to settle so I can replace the US VPSes I cancelled on the west coast.
