Matt Ayres of Unixshell has just announced that orders are back!

We are back open for orders. Due to the inability for us to keep up with supply at the lower prices we’ve been forced to increase prices across the board and restructure the plans.

Current customers will NOT have their current plan prices changed.

They have had data centre space issue since May this year (they are with Gnax in Atlanta GA), have not been able to fill new orders, and have very limited capacity upgrading existing customers. It is great that they have in some extended sorted out the DC issues, and are able to provide more sign ups.

However the price of their VPS has gone skyrocket. They got rid of those silly plans with 32Mb memory increment — which I suspect is giving them issues keeping the servers utilised, when customers with weird memory configuration cancelled their plan. They now have Xen VPS plans ranging from 128Mb to 512Mb physical memory, costing $20 to $80 per month. They continued to be unmanaged, thus making them no longer good value, especially comparing to its sister company’s Virtuozzo-based VPS running SLM memory model. Gone is the company that started all that “Linux VPS under 10 bucks a month” craze.
