Hi All,
DelimiterVPS offer very cheap dedicated server, with only $ 20/month we've got the following specifications:
- 2 x Dual Core 5150 Xeon
- 16GB RAM
- 500GB Disk
- 1 IPv4 Address (I add one IP address so I can use my own NS)
- /64 IPv6 address block
- Hardware RAID Controller
- Dedicated KVM (HP Lights Out) with full graphical KVM, virtual media
- Dedicated Power control (power on/off/reset as required)
- 5TB Bandwidth @ 1Gbps
- OS: Linux, Windows (you provide the license), FreeBSD or your own ISO
- Gigabit port
- DC Atlanta
Out of curiosity so I immediately bought one dedicated server from them, provisioned on 02/22/2014 (2 weeks of waiting because of I ask custom specs but not allowed grrr...). Test it for a while and seems all good than I move one of my forum there.
Network/uptime and Support
They have stable network, I had 100% uptime to date. The only reason my box down on that day because I execute yum update when installing igbinary (libmemcached) to replace pecl memcache than reboot it using SSH, but it fails because of kernel panic (stupid I am doing it on a live site), since I am new on managing dedicated server than I asking for help by opening a ticket, waiting for 1 hour and Brian T helping me to resolve the problems quickly.
Below the simple benchmark, I run it on production site with around 500 online users:
wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash

This box not sweat at all even in 1 day got more than 100K visitors or with 2000+ online users so this is a cheap monster.
Conclusion
For only $20/month than this box is an awesomeness, fast network, great uptime, and fair support.
Note: I have 2 boxes with them.
