     < / img src = " image link here "> 

    Should do it :) Just remove the / after the <

  • I have one, paid a year in advance. Based in the Netherlands I found that the network isn't that fast and sometimes the VPS is real slow in responding.

    But good and friendly support, good value for money :)

    i have a VPS from them in CA..I am waiting for it to be moved to Netherlands...still no luck..there is a high demand for VPS in Netherlands..I use it for running game servers so since i am from India i get less ping if it was at Netherlands and btw in my opinion they are pretty good,the VPS was never offline.

  • Got this VPS for a year and used about 6 months, well, first impression was good but I'm regreting every minute now :D Can't even run my simple WP blog on it (took very long time to processing, about 4s, Semoweb $12/year took about 0.01s)

  • Ask yourself the question - how much does the server on which this VPS is hosted cost.
    Thenk ask yourself how many such VPSes they need to put on that server to break even.
    Then think again about your value for money :)

  • "they have bad reviews, afaik.

    I've had a Xen VPS with them in the Netherlands for 3 months. Their Xen is stable, reliable, great performance.

    I ordered an openvz VPS in their Miami location last Thursday and canceled it last night. Performance was great: dd around 450mbs and iops of 9000 but there were 3 extended network outages of several hours during the 6 days I had it (the outages appeared to be caused by someone on the node getting hit with a DDoS and making the entire node unreachable).

    Most of the bad reviews I've seen have been by people who had openvz.

    "how much does the server on which this VPS is hosted cost

    Their nodes are dual Xeon E5-2620's, ECC memory, supermicro hardware, raid 10...not cheap

    I did think about that, that is why I wrote it is good value for the money.

    I just cancelled my BudgetVM VPS that I had for a month. It was often slow, I could not connect at all sometimes, and I had issues with the IPv6 allocation they gave me. In the initial e-mail, they gave me three IPv6 addresses (the plan says I should get 16), only one of which worked. The two others were whacked out. They actually could get through (sporadically) to port 22 for SSH, but no chance on port 80. So I opened a ticket. They said the addresses worked fine. I showed them pings, browsers timeouts, the works. They kept telling me the addresses worked. Multiple back-and-forths: "it doesn't work" "it does" "it doesn't" "it does".

    Finally, I figured out that they were testing different addresses than I was! The welcome e-mail had different addresses than the client area! Whaa...??? The address in the e-mail that worked was also shown in the client area, along with the two failing ones, then the other two addresses in the client area worked. In other words, five addresses in all: one that appeared in both the client area and the e-mail (which worked), two more just in the e-mail (that, practically speaking, didn't work), and two more just in the client area (which worked).

    Once I figured that out, everything was fine, except I still didn't have the 16 addresses I'd been promised! I had three (five if you count ones that didn't work). I finally managed to get them to give me 16 addresses, all working. But that still didn't do anything for the fact that the server was slow. So I cancelled. And writing this, I recall that they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so I'm going to ask for a refund after posting.

    Edit: forgot to mention another con: for some reason, loading their support ticket page is really slow. I'm remembering now that I'm trying to submit that refund request.

  • I got mine (in Miami) a few weeks ago and it is quite good so far. Maybe I'm on an empty node (because the disk is really fast). BUT I already had several downtimes. Maybe the network is bad. It's too early for me to have a definite opinion.

  • I have 2 accounts with them (Chicago & LA)
    Support was fast (is someone is online - check the support chat available or not).
    If no one is online, expect for 24 hours.

    But Client Area & Main site really slow to load. And lots downtime on first VPS, the CS always reply after they node was fine so they respond that my VPS was okay.

    It's your choice to use it or not. For me I still host few sites on them.

    Here my new LA VPS for 4,99 USD
