Via this WHT offer. Looks like Burst.NET is getting into the UK/EU VPS hosting business. Here is their EU website which looks pretty much identical to their US site. Their UK VPS packages are also more expensive than their US counter part as well so you need to do annual payment to get under the threshold here. For £49.50/year you get
- 512MB memory
- 20GB storage
- 1000GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/vePortal
Burst.NET’s OpenVZ/vePortal product has often been rebranded/resold by new VPS providers (or provider-wannabes). Now they are getting into the UK market are we expecting to see a flood of BurstNET resellers offering VPS there as well? IRC not allowed (client/server/bots). IPv6 available on all products.

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.
“Their UK VPS packages are also more expensive than their UK” – Shouldn’t the end part be US instead of UK?
They running their business in UK, but are they going to provide UK server? I’m also have VPS reseller account with burst.net Also using my VPS with their reseller code, so it makes my cost lower :) Anyway I mailed them today. They inform me, all of their servers will be from US but they already established high speed net connectivity with their US nodes to UK/EU locations.
==================== // The mail I get from therm :
Upon turn-up, BurstNET® immediately has one of the largest webhosting-specific networks in Europe, with many providers still operating on 1Gbps connections, rather than 10Gbps.
==================== //
So its good to hear Burst.net still rocking around.
*** I’m actually satisfied with them since last 1.5 year and still running 6 VPS with them. But one problem is they provide only 1/2 CPU and very few restricted nodes. If you are using higher I/O, then they will send you 1MB L2 cached based server and slower node… ***
@Jackk — thanks. Fixed.

I have ordered one of these, and the option for location was Manchester, UK – and I’m seeing around a 20ms ping from my UK location, so definately UK-based servers.
@Paul can you please provide me the IP for check? I will try their UK services as well.
@Omio – When I asked, they provided me with this test IP: 178.238.129.83
Just to confirm, the EU servers *are* located in Manchester, UK – not the US, I think either you or BurstNET got confused there somehow.
This is a good choice.
Hi. Does any one know the actual speed of the non premium package? I see that premium package is 1/GBPS but this other packages, can somene tell me around speed?
Hi, I believe BurstNET is using northern colo owned by Melbourne Network Solutions Ltd.
