Via this WHT offer. AgniHost has some pretty neat OpenVZ virtual server packages at $4.95/month and currently running 25% off for the first month. Its Unmanaged U-VPS 0 has
- 384MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 5Mbps unmetered bandwidth
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
From its WHOIS info the domain has been registered by someone in Florida under “Agnima LLC” which is currently registered and active. While their website is hosted with Rackspace/SliceHost, under datacenter/network page it lists out two locations — Chicago IL or Kansas City. I suspect that the VPS is with the later, as 5Mbps reminds me Virpus’ VPS packages, which are also in Kansas City in Oak Tower facility.
While the domain has been registered since March 2009, the service might only been around for less than a month if this tweet is of any indication.

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.

Despite this I had emails sent to me for two weeks prior to payment being due asking me to pay up, on the day payment was due I got yet another email to say that I was late in paying even though I wasn’t and my account was suspended despite the payment coming out of paypal later that day. Avoid, it’s a bad way of doing business.
Saw this on Flippa. The WHOIS information has also changed today so I think the provider might have changed hands. Someone in BigBrainHost.com has acquired it.
Get your life jacket ready…
Don’t worry about the life Jackets.
I’ve been working with the bigbrain people for a while now, and they know their stuff. They have a dynamite admin team that knows their stuff, and the guys there know what customer service really means.
If it’s any indication, they’ve taken the shared clients off of the shared reseller they were on, and moved them to something bigger (VPS? Dedicated? I’m not sure) but I worked with them to migrate some things over, and it was smooth as butter.
