Solid uptime, using it as VPN and working great.
I used 256 RAM to serve 4 wordpress site with webmin control panel.
So far in 3 days is very good.
Great price for KVM VPS with dedicated IPv4
used it as vpn and it only goes down when am resetting password
Questions for anyone:
Thanks in advance
No paypal based payment
Best VPS you can buy for 99 cents. Uptime is fantastic, speeds are fantastic. No downtime in the 5 months I've had it. I'm at their USA-Central location.
They have four locations, but speed test files for just one. I brought this up via live chat, but didn't really get anything out of it.
Really good vps for the price. The GO box ($.99) is brilliant, coming with 1TB bandwidth. Best support via live chat, also (I had a problem updating cc and the rep of atlantic.net solve in in seconds). The only downtime for me is the speed: in Europe, Greece where I live I face speeds of 5-12MB download and 2,5-8MB upload.
Surprisingly, central location has better speed than east location.
This is from Greece
Of course, from local server speeds are completely different!
Can you change rDNS?
How is performance in Orlando? Dallas?
Thanks in advance
No you cannot mount any ISO (yours or theirs). They use template installs.
Yes. RDNS can be set via their custom panel.
Can't say about Dallas as I am using the Canadian location which has been all good so far.
Can't get it with CentOS for some reason (select it and the 99c Go plan disappears).
I think centos (they do not have minimal image) is recourse - hungry and they do not offer it to their small plan.
Thanks @akb; that is what I thought, re: you cannot mount any ISO.
It's KVM-based though, right? So you can at least bootstrap install if the OS supports it.
They offer Fedora which is pretty close to CentOS. I have no problems with CentOS on a RamNode 128MB+64MB swap VPS (the $15/year plan) so it should also be fine on a 256MB VPS.
Any resources to read on how to do that?
Yes, possible, but a PITA if you want to encrypt the filesystem.
Alternatively, if your OS supports it, you could get a bootstrap installer iso and start it from Grub, the rest goes via network. Anaconda/Kickstart, Debian/Ubuntu installers for example can do that.

Bootstrap? How? With no custom ISO install option, I mean.
Yep. There are actually two ways. WIth CentOS/RH, you could prepare your existing grub (from the pre-installed Linux on your VPS) to netboot/PXE the Anaconda installer, so that when you reboot your VPS, the installer will be loaded instead of the existing Linux. Or, with Debian/Ubuntu, you could use the netboot mini.iso file, download it to your existing Linux along with the linux/initrd.gz kernel files, modify Grub again, and have Grub load the mini.iso upon the next restart. Same result - mini.iso is the bootstrapper that will load the rest of the netinstall code and launch your installer.
In both cases I assume that you have VNC access so that you can go through the installing process without SSH. If you don't have VNC, even then a custom install is possible; you'd have to prepare an unattended installation which is possible with both Debian/Ubuntu and CentOS.
Is this limited to 1 instance per customer?
Interesting and very useful. Learn something new here every day. Thanks
Yes.

The same happened to me (visa). So they asked me to send some ID (blurred driving license) and my account/VM was activated. They really should add PayPal.
