Thomas from Europhase UK Ltd emailed me this exclusive offer for the LowEndBox readers. It’s a bit dealer — at £5/month it usually would not be listed here (GBP/USD has to drop to 1.40 circa early 2009 level). You have to make annual payment which gives you 2 months free, at £50/Year (~USD$6.73/month). Use this direct sign up link to make purchase. This VPS hosting plan comes with
- 256MB memory/512MB swap
- 2x CPU core (on quad-core Xeons)
- 10GB storage (RAID10)
- 150GB/month data transfer
- Xen PV or HVM/SolusVM
Test IP trace route to OHTele in UK. Europhase has been in operation for 2 years and their website has not missed a bit since I started tracking them in May.

LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.
We are also here to answer any questions :)
Does the Xen VPS support OpenVPN? If yes, is the TUN/TAP dev enable by default? Thank you.
Yes it supports OpenVPN and TUN/TAP by default.
So, no ticket request to enable TUN/TAP dev after every single time I reinstall the OS? Thank you.
@ Wing Loon
No. It’s enabled and fully working by default.
Hi,
I have been with europhase past 6~7 months. Excellent Service. only 1 downtime (that was because of Rapidswitch Scheduled Maintenance ) and they also offered to move my vps to a new node in another DC for Free, if i needed. Support is really good and no automated answer. Highly recommend.
A Question for Thomas and/or LEA : I don’t see the test IP in this page. can you please provide it?

You allow the use of IRC?
Sadly, we don’t do IRC on any of our services.
LEA, maybe that should be on your checklist? Seems to get asked a lot.
Yes sir!
Just was making a suggestion.
Hello.
Just a quick update to say that yes, we can offer the above plan on OpenVZ also.
We have had a few e-mails from people requesting this.
Just mark it in the order notes and we will take care of the rest.
Cheers
Looks good. Maybe I will go with them. Anyway how many are 50 pounds in Euro or USD nowadays?
You can either pay monthly at £5/$8 month or £50/$80 per year on this plan.
Our billing system supports USD and EUR on payment.
Thanks.
What is the difference between pv and hvm?
With HVM, you can load your own OS
like say… windows
With Hardware virtualization, you install an Operating System (Linux/Windows) from CDROM just as if it is a physical machine so you are not limited by what templates the provider has. There is a BIOS, there is a VGA display (VNC/SDL), there are emulated IDE and RTL8139 network chipsets.
Xen HVM also speaks directly to the CPU instead of relying on the Xen hypervisor to do everything.
Well It seems pretty cool especially having XenHvm with the ability of your own iso install.
But it is a day that I need to hear from their sales or support to hast out some offer and as you could see there is hard to contact them basically you could not sign In and put your ticket normally
I tried mailing them and it does not work either
I hope I can come back soon and post an awesome review!.
