$3.99 BudgetVM Review VPS

23/08/2013 152hotness 0likes 2comments

budgetvm-cheap-openvz-vps-hosting-300x155BudgetVM is a very attractive priced, virtual private server provider who runs their own network in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami, Florida plus in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

This is very impressive.

I signed up for their 512mb OpenVZ plan about 3 weeks ago and this is my review of BudgetVM. BudgetVM is owned by Enzu, Inc. who sells Xen powered cloud servers and Xen VPS servers with RapidXen.

BudgetVM’s pricing is very, very attractive.

Their 512mb OpenVZ is $3.99 per month and you receive 1024mb of burst RAM, 40gb of disk space, 2 Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPUs and 2TB of bandwidth with IP addresses with your choice of Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami.

I chose Chicago, since it’s a great central US location and honestly there’s no difference between Chicago and Dallas. I think Dallas has modern infrastructure since the Dallas heavily investing in infrasture in the early 2000s which has paid off with companies like Samsung investing in manufacturing in the area.

512MB VPS

  • 512mb RAM
  • 1024mb burstable RAM
  • 2 E5-2620 CPUs
  • 2TB of bandwidth
  • 2 IPv4 addresses, 16 IPv6 addresses
  • Chicago, Illinois data center

$3.99 per month

As stated, BudgetVM through their parent company Enzu, Inc. runs their own network.

So far, the VPS has had perfect uptime since I ordered it:

Conclusion:

I think for the price and the uptime that BudgetVM is a great deal.

The $3.99/mo price I am paying, which I can pay $1 more per month and get 1024MB RAM, is absolutely amazing for pricing compared to a lot of hosting provders. For $19.99 per month, you can get 4096MB RAM and over 6TB of transfer at any of their US locations.

    I have used BudgetVM. Their service is as cheap as their pricing. I started with their OpenVZ VPS. One day they suspended my VPS all of a sudden - saying it has exceeded the 2% CPU limit. "2%!!!". I thought they were kidding - because some shared hosting provider even allow the customers 10% of the CPU usage and BudgetVM gives only 2% to it VPS customer!! Later I switched to XEN VPS - because their support said it will have some dedicated CPU. Only after a week they suspended my account - saying one of my domains were sending spam.
    Well it is acceptable to some extent - but how on earth I can modify/delete those accounts with my VPS suspended. I sent support tickets to them - and they didn't bother to reply in 24 hours... I had around 20 sites hosted on that VPS and all were down for more than 24 hours. After around 26/27 hours they unsuspended my VPS. I requested them to notify me before suspending again. The same happened again. After 1 hard month - I switched to BurstNet. They are far better than budgetvm. STAY AWAY FROM BudgetVM.
