[USA, FL] SecureDragon allows IRC?! Run your IRC client for $0.99/mo!
Yup, we just changed our TOS to allow IRC on our network (only clients at this time, no servers). We also have some new security in place so that DDOS attacks will no longer impact other clients on the network (good timing right?) so no need to worry about sharing a node with "bad neighbors".
Looking for a place to park your IRC client? Grab one of our O32 or O64 plans and get $2 off (recurring) using the promotion code: IRCME
O32 - 32MB/64MB RAM, 2GB Disk, 100GB Bandwidth, 1 IPv4 Address, 1 CPU Core = $11.90/YEAR
O64 - 64MB/128MB RAM, 3GB Disk, 100GB Bandwidth, 1 IPv4 Address, 1 CPU Core = $13.90/YEAR
Interested in another plan or service instead? Get 25% off your first 2 invoices using promotion code: 25ALL (ANY PLAN! ANY TERM!)
Both promotions have a limited number of uses and expire (check out our specials page for expiration date).
And for the basics...

Realy condering getting a 32MB for some vpn, that should be enough for 1 user shouldn't it?
That's what I use and I'm always on Netflix at work.

I some how managed to mess up the coupon, submitting a ticket.
I think there is a problem with WHMCS, you're the second person it's applied the coupon in your account, but not your invoice. I'll fix it and try to find out what's causing that to happen.
I am sad because you don't allow gameservers anymore Q_Q
So, now I just do webserving in my box u_u
We're still buying them and they're still running strong.
What if I go over the 100gb/month bw limit (my "worst" month so far with netflix was ~120gb)? I'm thinking of switching from my current.

I believe the american netflix has more content.
Your VPS is suspended automatically to prevent overages but you can purchase an additional 100GB at $0.40/month ($4.80/year).
I use it to watch movies and TV shows since we don't have cable. I use a VPN when I'm at work for security, full access (work firewall blocks a lot of ports due to government regulations but VPNs are allowed since we have a lot of contractors/vendors who need to VPN to access their company's network), and anonymity.
Yes, I think it's about $10/month now.
Can I get the coupon added to my existing service? :P
LoL, if we did that we'd run out of promotions without selling anything. :P
Thanks for answering, but thats too harsh on vpn clients
Auto-nullroute?
Is the 'IRCME' coupon ongoing?
(I am trying to see the advantage of that over the '25ALL' coupon which lowers the O64 plan to $11.93 for atleast 2 years).
Any chance of stacking? Would love to grab a sub $10 plan
@KuJoe based on your experience/testing, with very tight configuration, is it possible to run nginx and php (maybe no mysql?) on 32mb ovz?
Maybe...
Yup, for the life of the account.
Yes, definitely possible. My 32MB VPS is using 9MB right now and that's with Lighttpd and PPTP (nginx should be about the same or lower).
@KuJoe if i plan to have a blog with very low end server, could you give some pointers? Much of the tutorials around eats 40mb+ on xen, worst on ovz.
See here for a great starter: http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/yes-you-can-run-18-static-sites-on-a-64mb-link-1-vps/
For what it's worth... I have just signed up for the O64 plan and more than happy thus far.
Provisioning was instant, passwords were filtered out of emails (arrggh, it annoys me when people email me my own password!), default OS appears to be Debian 6 (running apache, saslauthd, ssh and bash), this is the first time I have seen a SolusVM control panel that actually functions 100% (others are missing some things, or have broken images/scripts) ... Nice start... Lets see what it's running under the hood!

TL;DR: In short, incredible stats for $1 a month!
Thanks! I could have sworn I setup the default OS as our Debian 6 minimal template (about 7MB of RAM). I just fixed this for future orders.
Thats good, I noticed I was using my burst ram idling before I re imaged.
... Hahaha, I find this out AFTER going through and fixing it myself!

(About a quarter of that is vi, apt and perl... Could be cleaned further, but I use them a fair bit!)
@BluBoy Wow! Did you use any of the "minimal" scripts out there?
Not, just removed superfluous languages, docs (not man!), and IPv6 stuff
rm -rf /usr/share/man/??
rm -rf /usr/share/man/??_*
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/*/copyright*
rm -rf /lib/xtables/libip6t_*
Then a bunch of packages I have no need for DNS, apache, fonts, DHCP, Samba, mail (bit of an iffy thing to do) etc. I don't think all of these are in the default debian install, so not really sure why some of them are here!
Also, apt-get install deborphan and localepurge to tidy it up a bit more as well.
Converted over to dropbear, and dash... And only running pptpd at this stage (to get me around a few hoops)
