Mohamed, from LetBox, is back with another exclusive offer for LowEndBox readers.
OpenVZ – 2048MB
|
Since we last featured LetBox in November, they’ve gone through a bit of transformation which was probably guided by some of the comments left on their previous offer. Unfortunately, the Smurf has gone after much criticism and a young lady has taken the Smurf’s place. Quarterly, the plan works out at $4.33 a month and if paid annually, it works out at $3.33 which is pretty unbeatable – let’s hope they can keep it up!
All Virtual servers use their homemade control panel ‘vPanel’ which allows you to reboot, reinstall, start, stop, monitor, get alerts and more; you can read more about it, and see some photos of it, here. Their servers are equipped with E5 Jaketown E5 Hex-Core processors or Quad Core E3 CPU’s, with 32 GB or 64 GB ECC Memory, along with Cheetah 15.7 SAS 6Gb/s HDD’s in Raid 10.
They accept payments via 2checkout (which accepts Paypal) and Payza. They don’t offer refunds but if your vps suffers with downtime, you may be able to claim service credit depending on where it falls on their SLA. If you exceed your bandwidth allocation, your speed will be dropped to unmetered 10Mbps. LetBox allow IRC, VPN/private Proxies and Adult but they don’t allow Tor. For a more detailed list of what is and isn’t allowed, and for other terms regarding this offer, check out their Terms of Service.
Network Information:
They colocate their servers with coreXchange in Dallas, Texas.

I like the website design, but thats just me
Thanks you :)
Thanks :)
The 100Mbps Port Speed keeps me from buying this. I ordered a 100Mbps VPS once (from another company) and I got 4MB/s max and 700KB/s normally. That’s just a bit to slow for my taste.
Other than that this looks like a nice offer :)
We will upgrade our network soon, We just working on some featured take much time from us.
The 100Mbps can get about 8Mb/s from us.
Just to be clear, you’re fine with game servers? Can I expect the ~70ms ping from the purchased VPS that I’m getting from your FTP server?
Please Test the ping before purchased, We do allow Games servers as long as not effect on other client or abuse on CPU or I/O
Thanks:)
The offer seems nice, but the website looks highly unattractive. Not to mention the many grammar mistakes. Oh and in the footer it says “Network status” which links to letbox.net (which doesn’t exist).
The network Status page is Under construction, The most important thing for us now is compelet our VPS Control panel to help clients managed their VPs easily, and add some new featured like Monitor system via VPS control panel Allow Free SMS and unlimted Email Address Alert for FREE!!
You almost had me until:
Refund: Short answer NO (seems SLA might allow for this).
Provide a short trial, or short money back window (even pro-rate if you must).
and now… yeah, really not going to risk my money here.
Let me explain this point, Resources were assigned to you which could have been assigned to someone else, so it’s not fair for you to get your money back or just leaving the services without request cancellation or contact us.
Why not prorate the refund for the resources that they used?
FYI they can’t collect $20 from a Paypal chargeback, it’s just chest puffing

if I didn’t have those 2 VPS I’d get that one for 40$/year (currently paying 12$/yrs and 5.25/quarter for 2 256MB vps)
We will upgrade our network as soon as possible next year, We just need more time to get everything prefect.
After purchasing I expected to install a different OS (Not Centos 5.8 ), as it said “Other OS (panel)” but the re-install button just doesn’t work (neither console nor backup button). What a waste of money :-/
Please if you are having issue with OS reinstall, just contact us via Client Area.
Thanks
I ordered, paid, received payment confirmation but 30 minutes later the VPS is not yet activated.
So, keep in mind that activations are not automated, if you need a VPS instantly.
I will post again with benchmarks when the VPS is ready (let’s hope they activate it soon!)
My VPS was activated in 35 minutes. Very good time!

So far very good!
low price and very tempting :)
Quite nice. Share it later.
hard to believe they are sold out.
More stock has been add :)
hi i want to know do you have contact email for general enquiry for non customers? Also i need to know things like does this have email support, i mean can i use the PHP mail() function to send emails using this VPS. I require to send 1000+ emails a month, to customers, but also it would be used within various different software titles to allow users to email me for support, send bug reports and licencing?
On a side note: anyone heard of a company called tecsupport.info they seem to have mysteriously disappeared after years of reliable service. Now I have lost access to all my files on their server. Also I had paid up till m ay 2013 so they are ripping me off… who do i complain to about this?
Thanks for interesting, But the mail server is not allowed.
oh…thats not for me then unless you can offer me a vps that does have the mail() feature
this provider is no good, watch your money
so who you reccomend. im thinking just stick to web hosting. its cheaper BUT they always limit the amount of mail you can send. I need PHP, MYSQL, CRON Job, preferably cpanel, ftp and 5GB space
Can you told me why? what is your story if have one?
story…my host is bad…he stop server he no tell me, me lose my files and databases. i have choose vps or shared hosting. i need for hosting my software also to get bug reports via email and email newsletters.
Sorry i’m talking to @euro.
Why do you think they’re no good? I’ve been with them for several days now, I get good ping time and good bandwidth. I haven’t had to interact with anyone to get the work done (which is pleasant). It actually is pound for pound equal to another LEB I purchased from another vendor, with better latency, price, and throughput limit.
Thanks You, Hoping always happy with us.
Ordered one, but the vps has been stuck at pending for the past day and a half even after payment was confirmed. Starting to wonder if this provider has shortage on servers now.
What is your order ID please? so i can looking into it?
it went live about an hour after my posting, not sure if my posting had something to do with it. Thanks for the support.
I just saw your post now, Can you pleas let me the order ID so i can check what is happend?.
7290
Ok i check it, due you are paid by credit card it take bit longer than paypal and we have slow setup in weekends
I’m apologize for the delay.
I ordered one last night around 11pm est and at 7:30am est it is still pending. Since support says they ignore requests for how long a vps will take I have no way of finding out how much longer it will take.
what is your order ID please?
Do you do domain registration as well?
I’m Sorry we don’t.
Thnks
So, If I go with your service, can I register the domain name later and assign it to your DNS servers?
do you have a recommendation on a registrant?
Thanks
Hello,
You will able to register with any domain provider now or later doesn’t matter when, the vps will be available to use with domain or without.
Thanks
Good offer.
May I know from which country are you?
Avoid this company, they look for every reason under the sun to suspend your service. I and a friend had it happen and we lost all of our money. I used the VPS for a basic static website and my friend used it for a mirror to his website. They speak very poor English and have little desire to talk to anyone let alone provide support. This is just my personal review i would like to see if someone has had any positive experience with them.
Is not your friend who spamming, i’m not sure what happend for people..
that is dated 17th of december and my service was 3 months ago, is that a fresh one you prepared for another unsuspecting customer?
Maybe i mistake and provide different one, Can you please provide your VPs IPS?
bet this person under 20 yo …
sorry wrong section, i apoligize :D
how does LEB advertise these criminals? my advice steer clear of them, the chap above explains it well
Thanks
What criminals are talking about? Did you even try our services? did you have any aproof?!!
Paid Via Payza.
Please Process My Order Number 2288131545
Kind Regards,
The order has been active
Thanks:)
Thanks :)
These offers are like 123com.org, who recently, as we all know, have stopped their service irrespective of the payments made by the customers. So i lost money equal to nearly 9 months!
Now they are http://www.imagine.la/
I bet we will soon see something from them here…
These people are here just to fool people into making yearly payments and than they run away with your money.
Just one question, Did they have their Hardware? switch, servers etc…?
I just registered two days ago and my server was up in less than a day.
I had a bit trouble finding how to reinstall my VPN with a 64-bit Debian, until I realized this must be done on manage.letbox.com and not in the client area. The account/password for manage.letbox.com was somehow hidden in the “VPS Box Welcome Email” (https://my.letbox.com/clientarea.php?action=emails) and wasn’t sent to my primary email (I double-checked my spam folder).
Other than that, I think the servers are running smoothly and pretty much as advertised. Please keep up the good work, LetBox!
We are Sorry for the problem you get, if you check knowledgebase will find how it work, Also the VPS control panel detials is inculded in Welcome Mail.
http://my.letbox.com/knowledgebase.php
Hope enjoy by our services.
Thanks
Hi, the “Reinstall” button in the product details page (https://my.letbox.com/clientarea.php?action=products -> “View Details”) is currently broken, and clicking on it has no effect. Can you fix that button, or simply redirect it to the manage.letbox.com page? I think some people may be confused by it. Thanks for the nice VPN!
Yes, i get what you mean.
Thanks
Seems powerful and cheap VPS for my website, just want to ask what is the difference between KVM and VPS on your plans, and do you allow swapping ?? I cant see any contact form on your website !
Thanks
We are using OpenVZ Virtualisation and KVM is different, Please check google.
But the link require register
Is the deal dead? I just tried to sign up with 40Y and it says “The promotion code entered has already been used”.
Sorry no more stock for this deal, We have antoher deal here
Signed up for a year a week ago and already regret it.
Their support just barely speaks English. Seems as though they are using google translate.
Their network is lucky if it managed 3mbps and suffers from massive lag spikes.
Beware of this company. They offer absolutely no refunds so be careful.
Chicago VPS has a much better network and support staff. Been burned and don’t want you guys to suffer the same fate.
3mbps? from where get 3mpbs? you don’t even trying contact us to looking into this, due for one reason when trying to upgrade RAM and find it expensive.
After one Minutes Claims network is poor.
Ok, here is the aproof

We promise here before the network will be improved this year 2013!.
Thanks
Show them the email where I said I initially thought it was an issue of RAM, but after I tested the exact same game server on my VPS with the same specs from Chicago VPS I realized it was your terrible network. Amazing how you are using private tickets to try and make me look like the jerk.
Your company, your network, and your English are all horrible.
Now Ram issue? ok here is all your tickets.
http://i48.tinypic.com/27zosi.png
We are not provide any private details only the name used by you here.
Not only is your English writing horrible, but so is your comprehension.
I set up a game server on my VPS with LetBox. Nothing but lag spikes and terrible network congestion.
I set up the EXACT SAME game server on my Chicago VPS server with the EXACT SAME specs and have zero problems.
I reccomend you hire someone who speaks and comprehends English because it is very obvious that you don’t understand what I’m saying.
Ok, Thanks You
Just incase if someone our client not received our mail about network upgrade.
Thanks
We have completed the upgrade Successfully, enjoy!
I would like to retract my previous statement.
Although the speed was not what I expected, I have come to learn that it is within the reasonable realm of speeds for a 100mbps shared connection.
My apologies to letbox.com and their staff.
Picked up one of these Dallas boxes for our growing vpn services.
Very happy so far ! Speeds are great.

Thanks for your good review :)
Is this offer still going on or its closed. When we are trying to buy it we get a error as # The promotion code entered has already been used #. Can you look into this
They just randomly suspended my service, no reason provided. Not responding to ticket.
Has this VPS provider gone rogue? this is the first time ive had problems with them.
Scratch what I had said previously, I am pretty sure they have gone rogue.
They are telling me (I think, very hard to understand) I am now only allowed to use 20% of the CPU usage I had purchased because otherwise I am ‘going over’ and overloading their servers. And for using my purchased amount of CPU speeds, I am now suspended.
Continued… The customer support replied, they told me I was sent an email about my suspension, yet, there was no email in my spam, or inbox. I told them I didn’t get an email and the customer support literally CHALLENGED me with “Then how did you know it was suspended?”
HMMM I don’t know, maybe that my server randomly quit on me, and it says SUSPENDED on my services page?
Just purchased a VPS from this company, needed a ddos protected system to host my darkrp server, since it seems to be a giant target. The installation was pretty quick, machine has pretty decent network speeds, but i’ve been tinkering around for the past 24 hours, hitting up all the forums asking for the support, trying to get the gameservers installed on this machine to contact steam’s masterserver list, ive tried multiple installation methods & operating systems, NOTHING WORKS. As for the support team, yes they barely speak the language and would rather blame your setup/configuration than try and troubleshoot something that’s most a problem on their end.
They have a very strict policy in their TOS regarding game servers “Games Servers Maybe allowed as long as no overload to CPU and I/O all the day If you feel unable to follow or Managed your Games Servers Please do not order with us.” did you read the TOS before ordering?
We are unmanaged services unfortunately we can’t help you to installing your games server if VPS not working please contact us.
