Note : SSH Port in Here are not using port 22, for security reason EthernetServers change the port, i will not mention the port, to avoid brute ssh.

(Previous Day Scene)
I have contact their Customer Service by email, and has been redirected into their Sales Promotion Team, and finally spoke with "The Person" i don't mention name :P, the respon for that is quite fast, and very kind, they offer me server in Buffalo, NY for trial with the spec as i requested.

And i request to review their VPS and post it on my blog which is angelimus.blogspot.com the old domain, and now is Angelimus.com.

They gave the permission, its nice.

Now, from the value side, it has diffrence in what they offer in website and their promo, promo are not mentioned in their official website, it's a special offer, i have verified with ethernet server, and it's valid. But until when? for this time it's still valid until next confirmation.

VPS CPU Usage

We operate a fair-share CPU policy. CPU is not dedicated to any one VPS on a host machine, and as such, you are asked to moderate your usage and consider other people who are sharing the same hardware as you. We do not allow any other form of CPU intensive application such as Bitcoin Mining which can utilize a large amount of CPU. Our Management Team reserve the right to suspend any VPS' that we believe are using excessive CPU. Game servers are acceptable assuming they do not utilize too much CPU.

>> Max CPU Load is 1.00

Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of Ethernet Servers is strictly prohibited. As our customer you are responsible for all your accounts. Should you violate the Terms of Services outlined within, your account will be cancelled without chance of refund. 

Traffic Usage

All accounts that exceed bandwidth usage will be automatically suspended, it is up to the service owner to work with Ethernet Servers on a solution.
