Via this WHT offer. Here we finally have a low end VPS offer that is not of our regular boring Xen, OpenVZ or even FreeBSD offers. Some people prefer graphical user interface that you use this cursor positioning device called “mouse” to operate, and Atelra is providing low end solutions for all you Windows lovers! With current 20% off promotion, you can get a low end Windows VPS for $3.96/month. However I think to run a GUI environment you might need a bit more memory, so the next step up at $6.36/month it will probably good enough for the job:
- 256MB memory
- 5GB storage + 2GB backup
- 250GB/month data transfer
- Windows 2003 Server
Atelra.com has been registered for almost 5 years however I am not sure how recent have they ventured into web hosting, espeicially when it was actually founded in 2008 according to this profile on eLance. Website is hosted with 1and1 so I presume the VPS will be in the same location in Lenexa KS.

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.
Doesn’t a windows license cost more than that alone?
I would think so. That’s why I am not game enough to try it out myself…
https://www.atelra.com/store/plans.php?series_key=14&for_trial=1 – $0.00 could be given a try..
We use a Volume Windows License that allows us to distribute low end Windows VPS for those Costs.
While our Domain and Website are hosted by 1and1 our infrastructure is located at our facilities in Englewood, CO and Denver, CO.
If you have any concerns about a Windows VPS I welcome you to request a trial as ui has posted a link to one of our trials above.
Bought above Vps around 10 days ago, 256 MB ram
Testing it from 10 days , working very fine
Went with a trial and I’ve had no problems so far. Server is up and decently fast. Wondering how they’re doing it though….
their website is down now :(
Could I have a test IP for one of the DCs?
I decided for 128Mb Windows plan, paid ~14hrs ago. No reply from Atelra, only an e-mail that something’s wrong with payment (PayPal displays that everything’s OK).
Already got my VPS activated but it’s around 24hrs from control panel (Parallels Business Automation) went offline… tried to access it from various ISPs – everywhere unreachable :(
Much more than 48 hours and I still have no access to my VPS and control panel. No one responds for e-mails (i sent the same message for all contact addresses from their website). In my opinion Atelra is just dead – if it’s just a hardware/software/whatever failure they’ll give us some information…
Looking back at the dates on this. We had a critical redundant failure in our network infrastructure taking down one of our facilities. We overnighted equipment to fix this issue. The downtime lasted about 48 hours.
Do to this downtime we have increased our cores systems to triple redundancy to prevent another systematic fault.
We credited all of our clients accounts for the downtime.
We appreciated everyones patience in this matter and assure you that we have taken steps to prevent this from ever occurring again.
The whole system is offline. WHM links redirect to this 404 page
http://www.atelra.com/vps
and the main website says something else
“Under construction. This domain has just been registered for one of our customers!
Domain registration and webhosting at best prices.”
I think its dead
Appears to be back – however the SSL cert appears to be self-signed.
i recently bought a box with paypal straight afther that a got an email subjecting
“Sale transaction finished with error”
Please help?
“Sale transaction finished with error” here too.
They contacted after 24 hours and issued a refund.
hey, Can you post more cheap windows VPS?
Wouldn’t the system be a big laggy running on only 256MB RAM?
@LEA – There is reports that these guys are deadpool material :P There is a thread on WHT about it. I would link it but I would end up getting flagged.
