    Cheap VPS from Canada?

    Hi!

    I'm looking for a cheap VPS from Canada. I'd prefer Xen/KVM but openvz can be fine at worse...

    Any recommendations or hosts to avoid?

    (Anything will do, I don't need a hi end VPS!)

    Thanks!

    I can provide you a few recommendations of companies I know that are based in Canada. I don't have any personal exp. with them I just know of a few of my friends work with some, and I have a service with one.


    http://globotech.net/ - Company based in Canada nd Provides DDoS and Premium Canada Virtual Servers/Dedicated Servers/Collocation.

    http://buyvm.net (frantech) - is based and founded in canada but I think there servers are hosted in Cali, USA.

    TelVPS - They have vps's in canada but I've heard some poor things about them lately, please do research before trying them to make sure they will fit your requirements.


    I hope this has helped :-)

    Do you mean servers located in Canada or a Canadian company? I believe Frantech Solutions (BuyVM) is from Victoria, BC. They are well-known around here.

    Yeah, But I do think he means the server actually being located in Canada some where not just the company based/formed out of Canada.

    As I wasn't sure either so I recommend FT also - as I know they are based in Canada but there actually physical server location is at CoreSite at SJ, Cali I believe.

    Hi!

    Thanks for your replies.

    Yep, I'd be looking for a VPS located in Canada.

    I know frantech/buyvm, but all their servers are in the USA (but some IPs are, geolocalised in Canada if I remember well)

    Thanks anyway for your answers!

    Ask a Canadian host: Crocweb or Frantech/BuyVM.
    One of them probably knows best, even if not directly offering VPS in Canada.

    cheap - max 10/15 dollars
    Ressources - not much, 128MB RAM/ any hdd space / min 100 GB transfert/month

    From LEB link i did found serverica that can be interesting: XEN VPS @ netelligent DC but cheapest prices...

    I think Frantech (and not their other company, Buyvm) offers VPS hosted in Canada.

    +1.

    There's also some offers in the section of this forum. Do an advanced search for VPS offers and type "canada"

    Good Luck!

    Two (at least) of those providers are now history.

    It depends on your definition of "cheap" of course, but when measured against the US yardstick there are few if any cheap Canadian VPS providers.

    Unless you really require a physical Canadian presence, look south of the border for best value. Lots of US locations provide great connectivity to Canada.

    Alas, none of our services are physically based there

    Much of our IP space geo-locates to Victoria, BC, though, if you're needing that

    that is a pretty small budget for a XEN based VPS - though, 128MB is a pretty small requirement. Typically most xen/kvm/vmware types of providers would not offer VPS instances this small - maybe an openvz type of scenario or even shared hosting with cloudlinux would meet your requirements?

    For what it's worth, I get a very good service (so good that I signed up here to mention them) from OpenVZ.ca (Joseph at media-hosts.com), at decent prices, hosted at CANIX Montreal.

    Well, if I find nothing that fit my needs with Xen platform, I'll try openvz

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Yeah correct, Sorry I made a mistake.
    But they provide reseller hosting its not unlimited, and if you want unlimited you may choose www.varyhost.com, I am approximately with them for 2months and i haven't seen any interruption in the service.

    I had one with Frantech also for 1 month, they are very good, and also I saw many people recommend them. Also prices are very reasonable.
