BuyVM already offers a VPS for $15/year that has 128MB RAM with 15GB storage and 500GB bandwidth. That's only $0.25 more per month, and it works as a VPN server for those that want to watch Hulu outside the U.S.

I'm not affiliated with them. I just learned about their deals a few days ago and was intrigued.

The pricing is very intriguing (considering how low it is) but the website is so poorly designed I'd be scared to signup. Does anybody actually use these guys? They don't even talk about datacenters or location but their parent company has a canadian domain.

Can anyone else verify that BuyVM is a good/reliable service? I am planning to get one.

They appear to be "out of stock" of $15/year plan

Actually, all but the middle plan seem to be "out of stock".
