- Root password sent by email
- IP details are shown only in the control panel (not included in email for security separation)
- rDNS setup available - simply submit a ticket.

If ordering for a mail server, please send a ticket BEFORE adding credit or ordering to avoid issues should we not approve port unblock.
- We do not inspect customer VMs or files - privacy is guaranteed
- Legitimate abuse complaints from reputable sources with proof will result in suspension and a ticket to confirm or dispute. Confirmation or lack of reply will result in termination. Please ensure you have a valid email on file to receive such notifications.

Doubling applied. VM was just rebooted to apply changes. Please check and let us know if you have any issues.
I like Albania as a spot, but its instability really puts me off. This has been happening pretty regularly — like two months straight now. Are the floods still going on there?
FWIW you can delete this part, nobody is going to confirm if that results in termination. It will always be a ticket to dispute
We've had a few previous serious cases of abuse where the person never responded at all and just moved on.
Yes. There's been very extreme weather in Albania for over a month now. Power outages daily. Lines being damaged. And there isn't that much we can do about it.
However - that isn't what your ping test there is showing. It's showing something expected. That's flooding the IP with 100s of pings per second. We filter and rate-limit ICMP. That is NOT real packet loss - it's dropped ICMP that went over rate limit.
Update: As we are writing here, the power actually is out currently - lines damaged again for the 3rd time this week. Generators running that will eventually run out of gas and require staff to get to them to refuel, backup inverters (rack UPSes) will only last so long after that, and we might end up with Albania fully offline yet again if power isn't restored. Not to mention we are seeing now 2 upstream internet lines down and the wind is flying everywhere outside - feels like a tornado just to take a step out. UK and NL we do not have these issues at all. Albania is full of issues. There is plans for some Israeli company to come build the first professional grade, proper datacenter here in Albania soon - if they do - we'll be the first to rack in it for sure.
And they will never respond with "yes, we did this and we stopped doing it, sorry" if you tell them that will cause account termination. It will always be "no, we didn't do this, you are lying"
Not at all true. Some have replied they did but didn't know - some have been hacked, ask for a reinstall and never happened again, some were let off with a warning and keeping an eye on it or a port block, etc depending the issue - sometimes that's enough to avoid us terminating. We aren't unreasonable - terms are there for extreme cases - which usually will result in no reply at all from client anyways. Some clients are just brazen and straight says it "yep, sorry. Feel free to keep our money". Every client and every situation is different.
Is the Albania location having some big problems right now? I can't ping from several different locations, and the virtual console throws 500 errors.
Sir, is it throwing 500 errors or 500 errors? Please clarify
Yeah. It's down. We are restoring it now. As per last comment, power died for over 16 hours yesterday, backup generators ran out of fuel at some point last night, and inverters (Rack UPS) ran out at some point. Staff are onsite now to add fuel and safely return services to online status.
Edit: All is back online now.
I'm not sure where you see 500 error? Our website and everything is fine. However, Albania only is offline and coming back up now.
Netherlands and UK are not effected and are online. Website and control panel also not effected. Only Albanian VMs effected. Should be back online shortly - they're filling the generators now.
Update: All back online now.
test ip in NL?
Network is Macarne -> RETN with connections in Multiple IXPs on the way, InterIX currently connected with Fry's and others being installed soon (awaiting XC) and transit quotes from 6 other providers being considered for backup and alternative paths. Here's the network:
V4: https://bgp.tools/prefix/208.70.218.0/24#connectivity
V6: https://bgp.tools/prefix/2a14:7580:c000::/40#connectivity

Is it really Albania and not one of those fake Albahost locations?
Btw, I'd be happy to be a customer, but please stop blocking Tor with Cloudflare. I can't even see the site.
Oh wait, you prohibit Tor relays, not only exits? Are you aware that Tor relays, unlike exits, do not result in abuse complaints? I am a huge Tor supporter and hope that Tor relays are permissible. They are vital for people's privacy.
Yes, probably he is aware of that. But normal customer would not even touch that 50 mpbs unmetered or use little tbs of data. But tor user will eat that every month.
It seems to really be Albania from my (very) limited testing.
Tor would never be able to eat through 50 Mbps in Albania. The bandwidth authorities sharply increase the consensus weight for Western European countries, thus a server in the Netherlands will easily achieve a constant 300 Mbps but a server in Albania will be lucky to route more than 2 Mbps. I'm always happy to limit my nodes' bandwidth in any case so as not to take unfair advantage of unmetered fair-use.
Edit: Oh nice, they do allow Tor: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4499683#Comment_4499683:
Hello! Can I ask to double specs of VM ID: 548980 ?
Also, can I order one more machine in AMS location and also ask to double specs for it?
Well, I managed to get in and make a payment, but now I'm getting constant Cloudflare blocks so I can't finalize the purchase to post my VM ID. Just my luck that I was unblocked just long enough to pay.
Edit: Got in just long enough to find that the payment doesn't seem to have been credited. Transaction ID (LTC) is dd9efa391347564a1fbb94928b2a5bd22a56182588db3cf5c16aa7e1df4a2c5a and my client ID is 267282. @avsisp Any chance you could look into this? I don't want to lose out on the promo by being late.
Helo - yes, it's real Albania even ipinfo and all 100% accurate and local.
Precisely the issue we've had and why terms were update to not allow it anymore - specifically for Albania with limited bandwidth - when we have many other customers using normal amounts of traffic and say 7-8 Tor relays using the full pipe non-stop 24/7, it just isn't something we'd like to have on that large of a scale. If people request it, we'd gladly host our own Tor relay in each location with bandwidth properly limited to a single VM doing the relay - but we do not see how 10s of relays on a single host are of any help to anyone and only eat large amounts of bandwidth from our experience. In Albania, bandwidth is priced higher by Mb/s than Gold per gram.
Please submit a ticket - our team will check it and get it applied. If you're using Tor to access our website, you will be blocked and that isn't something we can lift. We used to have a public Tor version of our website - which we're in the process of setting up again. However, public exit node traffic is ripe with abuse from ddos traffic to spam, fake signups, etc. Blocking Tor to public clearweb site has literally saved us countless hours of issues from the past - just turn off the Tor, use a normal VPN or Proxy if you're worried about privacy - we only block Tor exit nodes, not normal VPNs or Proxies.
Yes, of course. There is no limit 1 per customer. Multiple are allowed. Your specs will be doubled shortly. Just a note that it will be rebooted to apply to changes. Thank you for your support.
Ah damn. Your previous statement said it was allowed. Would it be appropriate to use it if I limit the bandwidth so it doesn't try to suck up as much as it can? I'd be more than happy not to have double bandwidth, and to throttle Tor traffic even more.
And for fully unmetered, what about your UK location?
I can't turn off Tor, although I can get in after changing the IP a few dozen times. It's just an annoyance but not a big deal, so long as I can get in sometimes. I just don't want to lose out on the promo due to running out of time, despite paying in time.
