Host your own DNS, now with 100% more ad block!
September 20, 2016 @ 4:26 pm, by SysAdmin One of your essential addons for your web browers is almost definitely some sort of ad blocker. Resources like bandwidth are a precious resource, especially when your ISP is of the many that limit it on a monthly basis. Another great benefit of having ad blocking software is that you risk a much lower chance of being infected by drive by malware, served by ads themselves. Not loading ads also means.. less loading! Why don’t we take the load off our machines even less by removing our ad block extensions?

INIZ – KVM and OpenVZ Servers starting @ $18.58 per year – in 11 Locations!
amsterdam, ashburn, california, chicago, dallas, INIZ, kvm, la, london, los angeles, miami, netherlands, openvz, OpenVZ.io, romania, seattle, singapore, storage, sweden September 14, 2016 @ 5:16 pm, by IThinkUFailed 
Kishan from INIZ contacted us recently with offers in several locations. INIZ has been featured on LowEndBox several times and were established in 2012. They were later acquired by SYN LTD in 2014 and they have said their biggest focus for improvement in 2016 is to cut down ticket response times. Currently the average is less than an hour for every ticket sent in. There are a total of 11 locations in this offer. I hope you’re ready because there’s a lot of variety in this post. All the following offers are non-inclusive of VAT and prices are converted from GBP so may fluctuate slightly but all are within the current LowEndBox pricing rules at the time of posting.
As always we encourage all users to read the Terms of Service prior to signing up.
Interview – Roilan, owner of TragicServers.com
September 13, 2016 @ 6:54 pm, by SysAdmin This interview was contributed by our friend @Daily over at LowEndTalk.
Today I sat down with Roilan over at TragicServers to ask some questions. TragicServers first appeared on LowEndBox in 2014, with their last appearance all the way back in January of 2015. TragicServers provides a variety of services, including popular game server hosting, Mumble hosting, and of course their OpenVZ line in Dallas and Los Angeles. They recently also announced their new KVM line located in Los Angeles.
September Hosting & VPS Coupon Round-up
My first post on Low End Box is something a little bit different than what we’ve done before. But, before we get to the round-up, let’s (no pun intended) talk about some of the changes we’re making to LEB and LET. Traditionally, Low End Box has been a resource for buyers and sellers of VPS and similar services — the vast majority having been submitted by providers directly, and often times those offers were simply not that exciting. Our goal for Low End Box moving forward is to increase the scope of what’s covered, no longer will the front page be an endless stream of offers. Instead, we’ll work hard to highlight services that are unique, feature-rich, and worthy of the intense publicity the Low End Box audience provides. Our goal is to make Low End Box a thought leader in the industry, and a hub of information, news, offers, deals, and community editorial.
Now, back to the September Coupon Round-up. At least every quarter, and potentially once a month, based on feedback we will highlight worthy discounts and coupons. Instead of listing just one or two specific offers, this round-up will put the purchasing decision and available options more in the hands of the shopper, and less in the hands of the hosting company submitting the offer.
