UltraVPS Los Angeles Data Center Review: 15% Off for New Users
UltraVPS is a well-established German hosting provider with over a decade of history. It operates under several brands, including ProviderService, ProviderDienste, UltraVPS, and getkvm. While the brand portfolio is extensive, user feedback on Hostloc is generally positive.
VPS Purchase Process
UltraVPS does not allow direct account registration. Users must place an order first and then wait for manual review. The available configurations and pricing are as follows:
New User Discount: Use the following link for a 15% discount (85% of original price): www.providerservice.com. Note: The discount applies only to the first six months. The lowest configuration costs approximately €3.8/month after the discount, with full price applying to renewals.
After placing an order, the payment address will be sent to your email. Once payment is successful, the order undergoes manual review, which typically takes from a few minutes to several hours. Upon approval, login credentials for the independent control panel will be emailed to you.
Support System
UltraVPS does not offer a ticket system. Instead, they provide phone support and an email address: info@providerdienste.de. Users can send emails directly to address any issues, effectively replacing a traditional ticket system.

Route Tracing
Route tracing indicates that some China Telecom lines utilize the CN2 network. China Unicom and China Mobile connect directly, though China Mobile experiences significant routing hops, which may not be ideal for mobile network users.

I/O and Download Speeds
UltraVPS offers two VPS series: All-Flash-Storage (faster speeds) and RAID-10 SAS (more affordable). I tested the All-Flash-Storage series, which achieved an impressive I/O speed of 500MB/s. Download speeds were also excellent.

Conclusion
UltraVPS demonstrates solid overall performance and competitive pricing. However, the service is not very friendly to China Mobile networks, and stability requires further observation.
Regarding storage, the lowest configuration displays 30GB of disk space. Upon activation, the root partition (/) contains approximately 10GB, while the /data partition holds 30GB. This suggests the advertised 30GB refers specifically to the data disk, with an additional 10GB allocated to the root partition.
