BuyVM.net: Price Adjustments
Hello Everyone,
This email is to inform you of price changes on BuyVM's VPS plans.
We've never raised prices in all the years we've operated, and have eaten every data-center & bandwidth provider increase. Most of these have been fairly small, usually pinned to inflation, but over the past 6 months we've been hit with >15% hikes from most of our facilities. With that, we'll be adjusting your plans during the next renewal (though, no earlier than July 1st) to the following:
| Plan | Specs | Existing Price | Revised Price for Existing Services | Revised Price for New Services |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KVM Slice 512 | 512MB RAM, 10GB SSD | $2 | $2.50 | $3 |
| KVM Slice 1024 | 1GB RAM, 20GB SSD | $3.50 | $4.50 | $5 |
| KVM Slice 2048 | 2GB RAM, 40GB SSD | $7 | $8.50 | $10 |
| KVM Slice 4096 | 4GB RAM, 1 Dedicated CPU Core | $15 | $17 | $20 |
| KVM Slice 8GB | 8GB RAM, 2 Dedicated CPU Cores | $30 | $34 | $38 |
| KVM Slice 12GB | 12GB RAM, 3 Dedicated CPU Cores | $45 | $50 | $56 |
| KVM Slice 16GB | 16GB RAM, 4 Dedicated CPU Cores | $60 | $66 | $75 |
| KVM Slice 20GB | 20GB RAM, 5 Dedicated CPU Cores | $75 | $83 | $95 |
| KVM Slice 24GB | 24GB RAM, 6 Dedicated CPU Cores | $90 | $100 | $115 |
| KVM Slice 28GB | 28GB RAM, 7 Dedicated CPU Cores | $105 | $116 | $130 |
| KVM Slice 32GB | 32GB RAM, 8 Dedicated CPU Cores | $120 | $132 | $145 |

Nice that for people with existing services get a small discount from the new customers.
I've got 19 VMs there.
24 > 36$ for 1 Core 512MB @emgh @beanman109
Back when prices were sane and everything felt simpler, I had this little VPS that somehow did it all. It wasn’t powerful by today’s standards—just a few cores, barely any RAM—but it was reliable in a way that felt almost personal. I knew every process running on it, every config tweak, every late-night restart after pushing something risky. It hosted projects that mattered, experiments that failed, and ideas that actually worked. Now, with prices climbing and everything feeling more disposable, I catch myself missing that box—not for what it could do, but for what it represented: control, freedom, and a time when building things online felt a bit more within reach.
Its been a blast BuyVM, this is where we go our separate ways
When provider adjust pricing, customer should adjust their buying habits. Then provider quickly re-adjust pricing again.
Always vote with your wallet. Ignorance and apathy brings greed.
What about slab pricing and other addons like DDoS protected IPs?
I checked their Discord, that's not increasing.
Ticket response lazy nowadays.
Is Francisco no longer affiliated with BuyVM?
I hate the idea of the hike but I understand why. Every DC we are in has hiked rates by 15 to 30% in the past yesr or so. When I still owned the company I was eating all of that, we honestly never did a price increase, only ever a decrease.
It’s not fair to him to expect him to eat all of them given some DCs are taking this as a good time to dig in on power and such in the name of AI.
I’m around and still handle anything higher level support. Hannan asked me to take on a bit extra but we will see how I am for spare time after crane work.
Im not in tickets but to be honest ive always been pretty bad at that part.
Correct, addons and things like that stay the same.
Francisco
Oh no
Everything goes up except my salary
Time to say goodbye
suddenly @MannDude pricing looks just a tiny bit less insane (not much)
Now I suddenly feel less bad about not being able to grab one of those swiss slices.
With that kind of amount I think you should start your own company and start selling!
Oh, wait.
Low-end allure
I have couple of machines that I am using and couple that are just idling and it looks like I won't be renewing the idling ones. I am too lazy to look for new ones now
I didn't receive the email though (yes, checked the spam)
Email is still sending. WHMCS is a bit slow in how it batches.
Francisco
SMTP/Email have issue since week, I was got invoice on clientarea but no email since now in my inbox.
Unrelated. The issue you had stemmed from the Stripe changes we made. Those changes made WHMCS crap its pants so it was failing before it would complete emails/invoice charging/etc.
Francisco
Well, sometimes ticket system email also take time to in my inbox.
and i have question about price hike
If I renew or pay in advance for my VPS for one year before July 1st, will the renewal be charged at the current price ($3.50), or will the revised price ($4.50) apply?
>
If you renew now you'll keep it at the rate you're at. any renewals after July 1st will be the adjusted pricing.
Francisco
$3.50 to $5.. wtf, ig im still paying $3.50/mo ($21/6mo). nothing's cheap no more
Been with them since 2020 guess it’s time to move on
Was that written by you or by AI?
Can someone explain this mass price increase?
I get it lot of things have higher operating costs, but existing services? existing hardware that’s already paid? assuming the 15% increase is mainly discussing the increased hardware costs? it’s not been made clear what makes up this 15%
Why punish your existing customer base?
Strait of HVAC
Please don't post AI-generated comments
New users get new prices while existing ones keep the same prices locked i think
But AI generated provider advertising posts is fine
Got it!
