Did You Know…
That ColoCrossing once owned LowEndTalk and LowEndBox?
The sites were originally started by LEAdmin. After quite a few years of pioneering the community, he sold it to a guy who went by @Chief. Chief didn’t keep it long, before he sold it to ColoCrossing.
ColoCrossing was subsequently bought by Deluxe. LET/LEB entered a period of decline because Deluxe didn’t give the sites much love. ColoCrossing was then acquired by HostPapa, and LET/LEB were spun off to its present owner, Jon Biloh.
So that’s a bit of lore for you…and you can use the coupon code: enter code DEEPLORE in the appropriate spot in the Gleam widget below (you may need to enable JavaScript and cookies if you don’t see it), and you’ll get 5 bonus entries!

Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
And wasn’t Jon Biloh the owner of the original ColoCrossing?
Yes, I founded ColoCrossing in 2006 and sold it in 2018 to Deluxe.
Are any of the physical prizes sponsored directly by ColoCrossing? If so, I wouldn’t trust on them to come through with providing the prizing for everyone.
I never got any reply/prize when I won the ColoCrossing credit from last year on https://lowendbox.com/blog/colocrossing-giveaway ; despite replying to the email in hours, and following up on it again the day before they made a blog post about how “successful” the giveaway was. I doubt I’m the only ColoCrossing credit winner who got ignored.
To my knowledge, every Giveaway ever ran by LowEndBox has ensured that every single prize was awarded. This includes Giveaways sponsored by LowEndBox directly, RackNerd, Interserver, ColoCrossing, etc.
I will raise this with ColoCrossing directly and ask them to contact you for clarity.
Thank you for that, Jon. I’ll spare the details, but I have gotten the credits awarded now, so I’m satisfied with the outcome :-)
Very glad to know that everything got sorted out. :)
Hello, thank you for bringing this to our attention and for sharing your experience. We want to sincerely apologize for the delay or miscommunication regarding your previous ColoCrossing credit prize. That is not the experience we want any of our winners to have.
I completely understand your hesitation given your past experience and we will ensure that prizes are fulfilled correctly. Could you please confirm your email or contact me at srattner@colocrossing.com so that I can investigate what happened and make sure your credit is processed promptly?
