I was surfing the web today and I found, what I think, was a great deal. It was a VPS with 4 Virtual CPUs and around 300MB of RAM for just 1.75 a month at a host called IPXcore. So I thought, yea sure, why not. I purchased the package to give it a try.
I wish I could tell you more. The interface and management looked nice but I wasn't able to try the server out. The company's data center was having an outage just when I got this new VPS. Now this isn't IPXcore's fault as they don't have too much control over troubles in their data center but it was kind of annoying not being able to start using my new VPS. I had plans to get a debian LAMP server up and maybe a VPN as well.
One thing that was nice was the support. I was able to live chat with a techi about the issue. He was always there and gave quit, ENGLISH HUMAN responses within seconds. Also note that all of this was on a Sunday.
Ohh well, I don't mind too much. Hopefully they will get things fixed and I will be on my way setting up my new VPS. If not, it was just a buck seventy-five.
I'll update if once they come back and let you know what I think of their services.

Update 7/31/2012: Sorry I didn't update this earlier, I was too busy playing with my new VPS. First of all they had their problems sorted out at the data center by the end of that very same day and I've been using my VPS every since then. I like the thing so much that I even purchased a second one! I would HIGHLY recommend this company!
