There was a time when if you wanted to be a hosting provider, all you had to do was rack some gear, sign up for networking, and hang out your shingle. That boat has long sailed. In today’s hyper-competitive market, you need to bring something to the table that makes you unique. Some people compete with niche offerings or unique software, and some compete by adding value and services to the relationship.
That’s what Layer does. They’re a full-service shop that can take you by the hand and walk you through logo and brand design, social media marketing, and VPS hosting. If you just have an idea or are just getting started, their consultancy can take you from dream to reality, putting your digital footprint online.
Of course, this is LowEndBox, so your question is “well what does the VPS hosting cost”. Not much:
- 2GB RAM, 2 cores, 5 backup slots, 3TB bandwidth (plus another 3 free – see below), IPv4 + IPv6, KVM for only $4.99/month!
Service is in Spokane, Washington which is a less common geography.
Here’s a bit more about them from their owner, LowEndTalk’s @rsk:
We’ve had offers on LEB and LET going all the way back to 2012 under our previous brand. We have rebranded into Layer (a registered company in Dubai, with trade license number 900809, and real offices) 3 years ago, and have been working really hard in Dubai with local businesses – where we are offering all in one service contracts for social media management, infrastructure management, web design services, hosting, and more. With a major focus on B2B.
We currently host our customers out of Dubai, Germany, New York, and we have just expanded into Spokane, WA!
This expansion will help us improve our service offerings, and provide additional services to the wider public, by shifting from our traditional B2B approach to B2B as well as B2C. Services for all!

This is why, we, as Layer decided to provide all our services publicly on our website for both our B2B and our B2C customers.
