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.
Finally, a German vps with a lot of resources for super cheap. while 6.20$ is usually more than I am willing to pay, I had to get it. Its my highest resource vps yet. it got activated overnight while I was sleeping and I’ve been playing with it all day and it is very good so far.
I sign up Germany VPS a few minutes ago. Let’s how long it activated and how good this VPS. :) It’s my first time VPS outside US.
Just sign up, but I can’t login as root. Did uninstalled iptables/firewall, but still can’t access to SSH as root. Which part that I missed to access root? :)
Signed up two weeks ago.
I’m AMAZED how fast (I live in Poland and choose server in Germany) and reliable it is.
I can’t believe that you can buy anything like this for that little money.
Worth to try :)
Best regards.
PS Hasanul – do you have SSH installed? :)
oops, I missed this part :)
They setup new box with new IP for me in the same day after I submitted ticket. Love the Scranton for speed, but yesterday they move my box to Kansas at Joes, with node problem as the reason. But, it’s okay, got same speed from my country. And, ehm, free upgrade as apology :)
