Intronet Servers - Initial Impressions
I recently bought vBOX02 from http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/26081/intronet-servers-cheap-managed-openvz-vps-from-netherlands-free-ssl-cpanel-whm-free-domain/p1
It was deployed within about 30 minutes, and cPanel took about 2 days. I'm still waiting for the domain and SSL certificate, but will update as soon as I get these.
First of all - the cPanel is genuine:
Second of all - performance is very good:
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz Number of cores : 4 CPU frequency : 3499.897 MHz Total amount of ram : 6144 MB Total amount of swap : 0 MB System uptime : 16:16, Download speed from CacheFly: 84.2MB/s Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 18.5MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 16.3MB/s Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 8.23MB/s Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, NL: 85.4MB/s Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 82.0MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 5.75MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 13.7MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 13.2MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 22.9MB/s I/O speed : 575 MB/s

You didn't pay yearly did you?
Those prices aren't sustainable, cPanel licenses alone cost $7.50/month at SH.
Yes, I paid $45 yearly
How long have you had the VPS, and what have you done with it?
I've only had it two days. I haven't done anything with it yet, but I'll probably host a few basic sites on it. Before I do that though, I'm going to set up automatic backups & MySQL replication.
For clarity, might be worth changing the title to 'initial impressions' rather than review? Just to help your fellow VPS enthusiasts get a better understanding of what's inside.
Just curious, why take 2 days to deliver cPanel? Node its not in RAID, so prepare for backup. Thanks for this initial review, update us when you have a time.
Can't help but feel like they're only providing genuine cPanel licenses for a number of randomly selected customers to prove they're not a complete scam (eg. "But this customer has cPanel, just ask him yourself!"). It can be sustainable if you're only getting, say, one cPanel license per 7 or 10 customers while skimping on the hardware on the side.
We have provided the cPanel/WHM to all those who bought vBOX02 yesterday.And those who bought it today will be receiving it by tomorrow.
@IntroNet How is this sort of pricing sustainable for yourself?
Please leave it on us.We don't run this company to earn a lot of profit,the main point of running this company is to provide a cheap but reliable service.Our next offer will be on Dedicated servers next time.
That's no sort of answer, which doesn't instill me with any confidence as a potential buyer that you'll be here in a month.
yet, i am curious with the answer of @nekki quetion too @intronet ? can you willingly tell us ? or maybe PM me and nekki ?
But its ok they are not looking to make a profit...
If ever there's a red flag, that's it.
Come on dude, do you think everyone is as stupid as you are? Even if that was true you're still selling the licenses alone at below cost, that's not an answer as to how you're still going to be offering the service in 12 months time (your annual clients).
"Please leave it on us" = "I haven't thought that far" or "this is a pure pump and dump". Take your pick, either way I wouldn't even trust you with my e-mail on the sign up form.
They want to make profit but they are "not looking to earn a lot of profit" ?
how can a company that run bussiness not seeking for profit?
i thought profit was the main reason, someone build a company
Maybe because it's nice to help people. I am currently running some free things, which makes me happy.
The way I interpret it is... they are not looking at making "More" profit ( maybe for now). not making profit is different from not making **more ** profit.
Quoting what intronet said
"...to earn a lot of profit...", probably they are risking to be on break-even, or enduring a few losses at the moment, because they are focusing to getting some clients in or marketing their company name.
No, what he said was that he doesn't run his company for a lot of profit, not that at the time of the offer they're not out for your money. And do you know why that is? Because they won't be here in six months time to hear your complaints.
You have to be pretty naive to believe what he's saying, lol.
Discussions of no profit/not much profit aside, I can't see how the company would even break even at the prices they're selling at. Surely the cPanel plans alone are sinking them.
I think singlehop do their internal licences very cheaply, but don't quote me on that.
Cheap enough to support a server with these specs?

Even if Singhlehop paid you $5 for every license they gave you it'd still be a tight squeeze.
Yeah, it's freaking ridiculous. But hey, we said that about GVH. And their servers perform much better than GVH (at least for now).
$7.50/m they are.
That's pretty much what I understood.
Even if we assume that a newbie provider has managed to squeeze the licensing cost down to $5 per license per month, that's still all the money from the plans gone when you factor in PP fees and IP costs. There is surely no way they're making any money off that plan, even if the server is oversold beyond a reasonable measure.
CPanel licenses are at standard pricing that can't be changed. Ip's are $0.50/ea unless you have long contracts like we do and you get them cheaper. They're working at a big loss on these plans which makes me worry for people paying yearly.
Our servers are more stable right now actually.
I cancelled a week or so back because my VPS was either down or lagging all the time
Good to hear that you're taking a better approach with existing nodes though.
Which location you in and which node?
