ServerMania is developing a reputation for offering VPS deals that look very attractive.
Their earlier offer that attracted me was the “SSD Cached Linux VPS – 4 GB RAM”. This was available for an annual fee of $88.
I have already reviewed this VPS in this article. It works well and I have no complaints barring the fact that there is sometimes a connectivity issue with the server in New York. However, this is an ISP problem and not a VPS problem.
ServerMania’s latest VPS Hosting Specials offer appears to be slightly more expensive than the earlier offer. Here are the specifications:
2GB RAM VPS specifications:
• 2 GB Guaranteed RAM

4GB RAM VPS specifications:
• 4 GB Guaranteed RAM
• 4 GB vSwap RAM
• 150 GB SSD RAID-10
• 6 IP Addresses
• 4000 GB Bandwidth
• 100 Mbps Network Spee
The price is $97 per year
