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.
Their 512MB plan with 2 IP is 4.5 USD/m
Looks similar to Burst.net
+1 for spelling out their management options right on their VPS page:

Granted though that page has a banner for their shared hosting. And there’s a couple of typos….
I got a Basic and Standard package with them a couple of days ago, performance these past few days seems to be good. I’ve moved several production sites to their site.
Unfortunately no web proxy hosting allowed. However, for normal hosting they are OK.
Can’t they make their own website instead of using a free template.
*Cough Chough* Free template easiest one to find also.
Knew it looked familiar.
The template is Same as NoVPS, featured here not too long ago http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/novps-29-88year-128mb-xen-vps/
I believe they are run by kids, I’ve seen someone named Ashley advertise on forums for them (not following rules as well I think) and it was obvious he was you, I think he mentioned he was 15 or 16.
Hmm, Kids or no Kids? As what Billy The Kid said, “I’m as old as my gun”. Even if they are kids, as long as they know what they are doing and take into account the responsibility as a man, it ain’t matter. Just give ’em a break.
FYI not ran by kids Im personally 25 and Hudson Valley Host is a registered company with New York State. If you need verification you are welcome to contact me.
