MomentoVPS is a very VERY cheap service. (It's over 50% cheaper than any of the competition).

This is really an instance of you get what you pay for.

Ian Knowles - CIYAM Lead Developer
I have been using Bitronictech for a month and did have a few problems initially - I must say that Bryan though has provided good after sales service and I am gaining more confidence in their VPS (I would not recommend anything other than their "gold" VPS service but my server demands are probably higher than most as I am regularly using the GCC compiler among other things).

You will soon be seeing the launch of a new open source project from CIYAM with the VPS service that I have with them so perhaps checking on how that goes will be a telling sign.

Psi laju, karavani prolaze.
http://www.bitvps.com/ not mentioned?

also https://www.kalyhost.com/, ran by magicaltux (mtgox).

And stay away from https://momentovps.com/.

But I don't use any of them anymore at least ... I recommend a non btc operation, http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-produktmatrix-ex

thanks guys for all your replies, I really appreciate it (albeit a bit late for my case Wink

I included your links in OP, tell me if you want changes...

I'm sorry I have neglected this thread and also to say that I'll probably continue to be doing so due to lack of time.

I think it would probably be best to setup a comparison table in the wiki. Suggesting to include at least the following info:

  • url/name/description
  • possible to use anonymously (yes/no)
  • cpu upgradable without reinstall (yes/no)
  • storage upgradable without reinstall (yes/no)
  • ipv4 address included (yes/no)
  • billing/cancellation cycle (monthly/weekly/...)
  • price of small (define) VPS per month
  • price of largish (define) VPS per month
  • ... ?

Maybe someone can do it and link here?

Not All Clouds Are The Same
Be very cautious when buying OpenVZ/VMware VPS, overselling is very common!

We are running on Hyper-V, works great if you plan on hosting Windows desktops along with Linux.  We had some issues with Windows vm's when testing the free hypervisors listed.

Can I cancel service at any time (monthly)?
Service is month to month, so yes.

Can I upgrade at any time (increase storage / cpu) without having to re-setup?
Yes, and disk space can also be upgraded without problem's. Just requires shutting down your VPS unit. We can take away and add to your VPS disk space at any time. So upgrades are fully available, without extra partitions Wink

Is first publicly accessible IPv4 address included?
1 IPv4 included for free, additional IPv4 are $2 a month Wink

Any other questions? We offer a 30 day money back guarantee Wink There has to be a "real" reason, as we have had some use it abusively for 30 days then come back in and say nope, it just doesn't do what I want, and won't explain what it is ha ha. But we do offer it.

Europhase and Exoware are the only ones I can recommend, being totally honest.

It would be interesting to know which ones you tested and can therefore not recommend. Surely you didn't test the whole list.

Only a curious passer-by / FirstBits: 13zsc1
http://www.bitcoinvps.net/ have good prices, but the order form is not working. http://leetnet.net/ have similar prices and looks good but... they should care more about the look of their site. Does exist a bitcoin e-commerce CMS?

By the other site they have no history knowed before bitcoin. Being cheap doesn't imply to be "ugly" facing (future) customers IMHO.

  • Can I cancel service at any time (monthly)?

Yes, service is provided month to month

  • Can I upgrade at any time (increase storage / cpu) without having to re-setup?


Yes, with a few notes: 1) The upgrade can only be performed with the system offline, 2) It may require moving the system to another node, 3) while you can add additional storage space, the geometry of the initial disk cannot change without doing another setup. In other words, if the upgrade includes additional disk space and you wish to claim it, we can add it as a second disk to your system.

  • Is first publicly accessible IPv4 address included?

No. Many of our customers don't utilize or require a static address. If you want an external/static IP address, it is an additional cost.


Thanks a lot for you answers. Maybe you could make this more clear on the webpage. Such information not being easily accessible can really stop people from making a purchase in my mind.

Especiall the "month to month" provision of service really makes it a lot easier to buy because it reduces risk and tends to increase service quality, thanks for that, I might buy from you but will do more looking at the others first.

Thanks for the comments.

Directly below the prices is the following text: "BTC prices are subject to market fluctuations. Listed prices are for month to month service."

The static IP question is addressed on the FAQ. The upgrade question is not addressed, it isn't something that I have been asked with any frequency except for after a customer has already signed up and they want to upgrade.
