Free cpanel + 1.5GB ram vps = ~$7.5/m !BuyerBeware

Hi, i came across this offer from 9xhost in WHT
The interesting thing is they offer free cpanel for some plans with unlimited free ssl along with discounts

CPU : Equal Share
GUARANTEED RAM: 1586 MB
Disk Space: 110GB (RAID 1)
Bandwidth: 4000GB/MONTH
IP Addresses: 1 (IPv4)
Free cPanel.
Free Unlimited SSL >> looks like comodo positive SSL

Price = $14.99 / Month (20 % Off Using Code 20VHT, or code 50VHT for 50% recurring off if paid semi-annually)

after semi annual discount it comes to $7.5 with free cpanel and unlimited ssl.

Too good to be true. anyone has any idea about this host? benchmarks/ stories are welcome

From his time on WHT thus far I am not under the assumption that it is a scam, but quite possibly an oversight, or more likely a bad business plan. I suppose the possibility of an intentional loss for a limited promotion is also possible.

Stay away from them, he was openly advertising warez and other types of hosting. Had a bunch of his servers termianted a week or so ago for abuse (I think thye were with Securedservers) and other interesting things. Just look through WHT and you might fidn them.

Update : I assume from their reply to their previous offer at wht, free cpanel is limited for those don't use a discount code. i might be wrong. if anyone wanna try confirm before paying.

Can't even cover the cost of the cpanel licence at the discounted prices. That's beyond a bad business plan.

I agree with @Kenshin that 9xhost's dea;'s too good to be true.

Some of us still needed it

Some of our corporate applications, extensively use cpanel/whm api to manage privileges and automation. Its either cumbersome to push manual tweak via system administrators or keep writing own scripts ( and the onus of maintainence and upgrading them )

I also want for easier management but it's not worth of money for personal use.

For serious purpose, should find serious provider. This one sound fishy.

9xhost is a known scammer. He has done same before, I forgot which thread was it, but it was posted on wht.
