While going through all of the categories and content libraries within the Low End Box database I came across this gem from 2010 about Low End Talk.
Back in 2010 Low End Talk was just getting its start as a Q/A based “forum” running OSQA that doesn’t resemble our modern Vanilla software package we run today.
I am sure more than a few people remember the “OG LET”

The Story of How I Broke LowEndTalk This Week
Jon Biloh is the owner and operator of LowEndBox and LowEndTalk, two of the most recognized platforms in the global web hosting and infrastructure community. With nearly two decades of experience in the IT industry, Jon has spent his career building, growing, and acquiring internet infrastructure companies, with a focus on affordability, transparency, and performance.
Before acquiring LowEndBox and LowEndTalk, Jon was involved in founding and scaling several hosting-related ventures, from bare-metal data center operations to high-volume cloud platforms. His hands-on understanding of both the business and technical sides of infrastructure has shaped his approach to community building and editorial strategy.
Today, Jon’s mission is to modernize and expand the LowEnd ecosystem while staying true to its roots: serving developers, small businesses, and independent providers who value control, value, and community. Under his leadership, LowEndBox is evolving into more than just a deals site, it’s becoming a resource hub, media platform, and discovery engine for DIY hosting enthusiasts and indie cloud providers.
When he’s not working on platform improvements, Jon can be found engaging with users on LowEndTalk (@jbiloh), collaborating with providers, and exploring new ways to support the next generation of internet builders.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this.
Since then, the community has grown so much. Amazing times to be part of, then and now.
No doubt that traffic levels and overall LET community size are massive compared to what they were way back in 2010. Gotta keep the good mojo going!
Ah! A blast from the past. Hoping to see a return of the golden days again. Keep up the good work Jon. You got LEAs’ big shoes to fill.
Thanks! We are making progress every day. Traffic is up very significantly over the past 90 days. Great to see our progress paying off.
Wow, that’s the old LET theme! Time flies and grown so much popularity and traffic all these years. Keep up the good work Jon.
