# BulkVM LLC

> BulkVM (AS401640) provides ZFS HDD storage VPS hosting and dedicated infrastructure hosting from hardware and network infrastructure it owns in Phoenix, Arizona. Not a reseller: BulkVM operates its own autonomous system, holds its own ARIN IP allocations, and runs Juniper MX core routing. No egress fees, no inbound fees — transfer is included in every plan. Unmanaged KVM storage VPS plans start at $5/month for 2 TB ZFS RAIDZ2.
