I review a lot of offers, and over the years I've learned that some things are just bad signs. My radar isn't 100% (as the community reminds me), but I do filter out a lot of sketchy providers that either aren't ready or aren't professional enough for our community. Here are some things I scrutinize.

I think we've all been there. You're at work or at school and you get a ping from a monitor you've got setup that one of your VPSes is having a problem. But you can't connect to it because you don't have outbound SSH. There are workarounds.

In the early days of message boards and dial-up, a stranger showed up claiming to be a soldier from 2036—on a mission to retrieve an IBM 5100 “portable” computer. He didn’t just drop a prophecy and vanish. He argued, explained, posted technical details… and built one of the internet’s most enduring modern legends.

On the spectrum between speculation to prediction to guarantee, these are definitely towards the left end. The hosting industry has a special talent for making fools of us all (usually right after you prepay for three years). Here are five bets for what 2026 will look like.

One of my all-time favorite posts on LowEndBox - indeed, maybe on any site -is the seminal article "Yes, You Can Run 18 Static Sites on a 64MB Link-1 VPS". 16 years later, is it archaic? No.

I'm a former Hyper Expert customer and used my VPS for several years. I had a great experience with them. They've gone through some changes and refocused their enterprise (indeed, their whole mission) and we thought it'd be a good opportunity to sit down with their founder, Ali, and catch up on what's new with this provider. If you're a student or teacher, you definitely need to check out this provider because you may qualify for a free VPS!

Not long ago, LowEndTalk member @vitobotta started a great thread listing what he self-hosted and invited others to share their lists. It reminded me of the venerable Awesome-Selfhosted list on GitHub, which has hundreds and hundreds of apps in dozens of categories to choose from. What are you hosting?

As I was putting the finishing touches on my DediRock review article published Wednesday, I uploaded the YABS to ServerVerify. While there, I noticed a new tab, Insights, and decided to take a look. Pretty cool!

In one of our earlier posts, we talked about the fun part: Black Friday, megathread madness, and record-breaking traffic numbers that pushed LowEndTalk’s servers to their absolute limits. For example, look at the surge of interest on RackNerd’s LowEndTalk Black Friday thread – RackNerd achieved over 4.2 Million views on their LowEndTalk thread alone! But the celebration only makes sense if you understand the backdrop behind it.

Hard to say no to an offer for a 1.5GB VPS with IPv4 for only $6.85/year. I decided to give DediRock's CyberMonday offer a spin.

Every November, our sister forum, LowEndTalk, erupts into that familiar ritual: the Black Friday MegaThread. It starts with a quiet spark, a handful of pre-BF warmups, and then, it detonates into an annual tradition in which servers, moderators, and caffeine supplies are all pushed to the limit. This year's Black Friday megathread on LET was named: “2025 Black Friday / Cyber Monday: FLASH SALE & MEGATHREAD – The Trade War”, and it truly lived up to its name. And one provider really dominated the forum this year.
