BudgetVM Reviews

BudgetVM, founded in 2005, established itself as a provider of hosting and virtualization solutions, focusing on delivering reliable and high-performance server hosting at competitive prices. The company offered a range of services including dedicated servers, cloud servers (including KVM-based SSD VPS), Windows VPS, DDoS protection, and potentially reseller programs. They emphasized using enterprise-grade hardware and maintaining robust infrastructure across several data centers. Key locations included Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, CA), Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and reportedly Tokyo, Japan. These facilities were often SSAE16 Type II certified, featuring redundant power, cooling, and security measures like 24/7 onsite security and biometric access. Their network boasted significant capacity (e.g., 160Gbps global network mentioned historically), multiple transit providers (like Cogent, Zayo, Hurricane Electric), extensive private peering (especially towards Asia-Pacific carriers), and included DDoS protection. BudgetVM targeted businesses and individuals needing dependable IT resources, from small VPS plans to powerful dedicated servers, backed by 24/7 customer support accessible via phone, email, and chat. In 2022, BudgetVM was acquired by Hivelocity, another hosting provider. While the BudgetVM brand and website may still exist or redirect, its operations and services are now integrated into Hivelocity, which itself was acquired by Colohouse in April 2024.
