Unmanaged OpenVZ VPS1 Monthly Bandwidth: 1,000GB Protected Disk Space: 20GB Monthly Fee: $5 CPU: 1.2GB Guaranteed RAM: 512MB Uplink/Downlink: 100Mbit

What can I say about Wayne & Katrenia at "Your Domain Goes Here" is that they really care about customer service. Nowadays I find myself being constantly dissappointed at how companys operate. It's really nice to see people with a focus on customer satisfaction. Anyone who knows me is aware that I have very little tolerance for poor customer service. But I will happily promote anyone who is prepared to go that extra step to make sure the customer is happy. In this modern fast paced world. We tend to expect everything to run perfectly. Mostly it does. But occassionally it doesn't. Thats when you need people like Wayne and Katrenia working on your side. So far they have saved me from lots of frustration on more than one occasion. The VPS itself feels quite responsive. It is very fast updating via the default CentOS via yum. Downtime so far has been almost unnoticable. Everything works as it should. I would recomend "Your Domain Goes Here" to anyone seeking VPS hosting. Especially to anyone doing an OpenVPS. Wayne has the TUN issue fully worked out. :)

I was on twitter and I mentioned that I needed a bargain priced VPS with low specifications. Next thing @BigWetFish gets me to check this URL. Well, I checked the URL and saw some pretty good deals. In my case I was after the barest minimum nano tiny VPS I could operate with.

So I signed up for the VPS 1 deal (as instructed via email) and had it downgraded by the Big Wet Fish staff to:

VPS 1/2 (SuperMicro VPS) * CPU - Equal Share

• Disk Space - 10GB
• RAM - 64MB
• Burstable RAM - 256MB
• Monthly Bandwidth - 150GB
• 100 Mbit Connection
• No Cpanel Option
• No setup fees
• Choice of Linux OS
• 1 Free IP address
• SolusVM VPS Management Software

US $2.50 per month.

I think a great deal.. And get this.. Because I was only after an evaluation to determine my requirements. Big Wet Fish Hosting were so kind as to give me 1 months FREE trial!

(Don’t everyone expect that deal! I think it was a slow day or something.. You need to talk to them..)

I needed to setup OpenVPN. As a result it soon became obvious that TUN needed to be turned on by the hosting provider. (This is a common issue with VM VPS) However, Big Wet Fish responded to my email request for TUN to be activated rapidly.

The VPS seemed nimble and always responded well compared to a few other VPS’s I have used. Downtime was un-noticable during the evaluation. :)

In my case.. I was able to evaluate the specifications of the VPS in comparision to my requirements in a very short amount of time. Because of this.. I have no hesitation recomending Big Wet Fish Hosting to anyone who requires an unmanned VPS.
