I just ordered there $3.49 VPS - ServerBear Results to Follow

Alex Sage

Setup time is slow. Took about 15 minutes to provision my VPS.

Documentation is almost non-existent.

Now I am trying to find my root password.....

Alex Sage

They send me the root password via email, I just missed it in all the emails from them...

This is true. KimSufi seems to offer smaller systems at smaller prices. I'll run a ServerBear on mine too.
