Welcome to LowEndBox, GardenCloud!

They contacted us a month ago about getting an offer shared.  They’re debuting with some nice DirectAdmin offers, starting at $6/year including unlimited bandwidth!  These are in Canada with DirectAdmin and they’re riding on OVH.  This is obvious a new provider, but that’s half the charm of LEB – old friends, new opportunities, always something different.  So if what GardenCloud is offering lines up with what you’re needing, give them a try…you sure aren’t risking much at these prices.

They also are happy to work with you on custom plans.  Just drop a note to support.

They’re registered in Wyoming, USA.. Their Terms of Service is available on their web site. They accept PayPal.

Here’s a little about GardenCloud in their own words:

I’ve been a member of the LowEndTalk community for a long time, and I’ve decided to take the plunge and offer some shared hosting services. Our focus at gardencloud is to provide barebones services at barebones pricing. The main focus here is the customer, not profit. I’d say it’s a hobby project, but we operate as a business and to the most professional extent possible. You can also trust that your garden will be safe with no prying eyes, for all those wondering.
