Supposedly pure SSD with Xen virtualization. Has anyone taken the dive yet?

Well they have teased with VPS packages for a while now.  Unsure if they ever officially offered them.

Looks like their new packages at link you posted are more than 50% reduction in pricing.

Original plans were:





Outhouse

• 256MB RAM
• 512MB Swap
• 20GB Drive Space
• 2 IP Addresses
• 2000GB Transfer

$5 per month





 






WoodShed

• 512MB RAM
• 1024MB Swap
• 40GB Drive Space
• 2 IP Addresses

$10 per month

• 2048MB Swap
• 60GB Drive Space

Wondering what type of hardware they use...

I saw their advertisement on WHT a while ago. Not sure which virtualization they use.

Says on their website and in my original post: Xen

They reduced it down a dollar.

Now 4 dollars for the 512 mb plan!

From a features standpoint I don't see how they can hope to compete with the budget cloud offers (DO, Vultr etc) available now.


From a resources standpoint sure it's a competitive offer... But its a race to the bottom if that's your only/main selling point.


Best of luck to them though.
