Virpus
I noticed Virpus is having a '50% OFF All XEN Plans!' year end special, but you have to prepay annually to get the discount.
I'm willing to buy and resell these at LEB rates (read: 25% off their respective monthly prices) if there's any interest.
Prudently posting this thread in 'Help' in case the thought breaks any rules or turns out to be harebrained or whatever. If I am permitted to do this and there is interest, I'll make some WHMCS order links and move the thread to the 'Offers' section.

Are you planning to sell on monthly basis?
@mazker yes, otherwise what would be the point?
@HostNun
Would it not be better to buy a reseller account from virpus? They do offer that! at least then your can customize the package and give solusvm access to your clients..
Ya so the minimun would be $3??
I'm sure there will be some interest in 512MB Xen for $3/month
I've been in talks with Virpus about a reseller account in the past. I decided not to go with them at the time because of this clause:
Besides, their reseller discount is up to 20% off whereas this sale is 50% off...
yep, and I would sell their XVM1536 plan for $7 (quarterly)
no, please don't buy from them
search WHT about them
haha, you're the second person to tell me that since I posted this thread
Well, not to discourage you from your idea.. but paying yearly for something you are going to be offering on a monthly basis seems like you would have to front up quite a bit of cash.. depending on what the turn over rate is you could be out quite a bit! Virpus does have it's fair share of bad reviews and there is a good possibly that your clients may cancel after the first month!
I could have sworn the discount use to be higher than 20% but either way having 6 accounts at $4/mo plus your discount of 20% only equals $19.2/mo compared to prepaying $24/yr for every clients that signs up..
It's a nice ideas thought, good luck to you
It's not something I would normally do. However their offer is a year end sale, it's not like I'd be doing this all year long. It's a passing opportunity. Maybe I would limit it to 5-10 VPS or something to make sure I'm not out that much cash.
Also I know there isn't much money to be made in reselling these for $3. The reason I'm doing this is less about the money and more so as an opening gesture of good faith to this forum.
Having been advised against doing this by a growing number of people, I've decided to ̶g̶o̶ ̶a̶h̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶r̶,̶
edit: nm!
Seriously, isn't this the same company that didn't even have raid on their openvz nodes?
Given that this is Virpus and there will be issues with the service, I will need to ticket you, to ticket them, to reply to you for you to reply to me. It's a messy approach.
I have received even more PMs at this point opining that Virpus is terrible. I wouldn't know, having never bought a VPS from them before. That said, I wasn't impressed with their sales department whilst researching reseller options the other month. Bless them!
Or I could just give you/whoever the login to their helpdesk...
