About Us

RamNode LLC exists for one purpose: to provide affordable VPSs with powerful features. Our years of hosting experience as both clients and providers have inspired us to offer the kind of hosting that clients want at the kind of prices clients want to pay. Though our prices are low, performance is our main focus. We know that our best assets are our loyal customers, so we strive to provide hosting they will rave about to their fellow internet users. Our SSD and SSD-cached VPSs are perfect for a wide range of applications. With our top quality hardware, we can guarantee that our clients will get the most bang for their buck.

Our SuperMicro enterprise grade servers are stocked with Samsung and Intel SSDs in lightning fast, LSI-powered RAID10 arrays. Our servers provide incredible I/O as well as the safety of drive redundancy. We use powerful Intel Ivy and Sandy Bridge processors on our VPS nodes. CPU is allocated on a fair share basis per VPS, only limited by the number of cores in each plan.

Our VPSs are hosted in Atlanta, Seattle, and The Netherlands. Our US servers are located at 55 Marietta (Atlanta) and The Westin (Seattle), where we own all of our hardware and network (AS3842). We have partnered with a provider in the Dataplace data center in the Netherlands to be able to offer our great plans in Europe as well.

RamNode offers KVM and OpenVZ VPSs. We also offer optional DDoS protection for our Seattle location. Please see below for more details.

=====================================

Do you have a money back guarantee?
We have a 3 day money back guarantee on your first invoice of your first service as long as your account is in good standing.

What is the difference between SSD and SSD-Cached?
Our SSD VPSs are built with RAID10 arrays of pure SSD storage. They are some of the fastest on the market.

These VPSs come with lots of hard drive space, but still have similar performance to an all-SSD VPS.

My Observium events log for the past 30 days for a RamNode NL openvz VPS:

Events [RamNode]

The log for the RAMNode VPS is completely empty, i.e. no downtime, or network outages, .  By contrast I have other openvz VPS's from top rated LEB providers who shall be unnamed where the event logs look like this:

That's something incredible, same as a cloud.

 

[MannDude]

Also a Ramnode customer. Also happy. Keep up the good work. I may pick one of these up later.

 

[eva2000]

nice tempted again (already have a few VPS with RamNode)... must resist LOL

RamNode is still the only web host who even offers an Oracle Linux 6.5 ISO https://clientarea.ramnode.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=48  B)

Oracle UEK kernels https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_the_unbreakable_enterprise_kernel

Every other web host I have suggested OL 6.5 to only has it on it's maybe to do list or suggestion list even after 12+ months ! Nick/RamNode on the other hand added Oracle Linux ISO within 24-48hrs of my suggestion last year IIRC the timeline correctly


Oracle Linux R6 U5 Server (x86_64/x86)

Excellent if you want CentOS like build but with more up to date packages and 2.6.39 and 3.8.13 UEK kernels for TCP improvements - just as well as Centmin Mod supports both CentOS and Oracle Linux

What happens to your v1 customers? Will we get upgraded or does Ramnode prefer new over existing customers?

[D. Strout]

Used the coupon to upgrade one of my older RamNode boxes. Good stuff - I'm never hesitant to put code in production on a RamNode box.

BTW, when does this coupon expire? I know that since it's on my account now it will be there for life, but when will you stop accepting new orders using it?

 

[NodePing]

If you don't have least one RamNode, you're doing it wrong. <grin>

 

[Nick_A]

Thanks everyone! I should mention we are planning to add DDoS protection from Staminus (NY) for our Atlanta location soon. Price will likely be $5/IP.

[Navyn]

Is this promotion valid for existing VPS.

 

[marlencrabapple]

Bought one a while back for ~30% off. Still an awesome deal.

By the way, I read something about having to throttle yourself to 100mbps when torrenting with RamNode. Is this still enforced? BuyVM has been fine with 200mbps down for a few minutes every few days, so I'm kinda curious about your reasons for the rule.

It's actually 20Mbps. High packet counts caused too many issues.
