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.

Thanks. Link updated.
I’m finding this VPS very impressive so far. I have the 2nd lowest package 200Mb ram and it’s great.
Well a couple of months later I still have a vps account here, it has been great until a host outage last week that lasted a few hours. Other than that the only person I ever get support emails from is “Jon” so I think this maybe a one man operation too. However for the price I’m still happy.
Same here. I’ve had the VBS184 package for going on 3 years and I love it. Uptime is great, never had any issues. Support is prompt and spot on.
Hello,
We would like to rent a VPS with Windows 2003 as operating system and RDNS configuration.
Would that be possible and what would the overall cost per month be ?
Thank you.
Best regards

Considering that this offer is over two years old, you may want to contact them directly via their website.
Also, surely there are better deals to be had these days? VPS hosting has changed a lot. Mind you, the fact that this deal is 2 years old and the provider’s website is still up is pretty unusual in the budget VPS market. ;)
Surely you’re talking to Dave and not me. :)
Please watch your Reply link usage.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they had found this via a google search or something similar. Or they had missed the date of the offer.
Considering that a quick look at the company’s home page shows the latest news announcement from back in 2008….
Nope, I replied to the right person, it was backing up what you said.
I do mess up which post I’m replying to occasionally, but not this time. :P
