Via this WHT offer, CheapVPS.co.uk is offering some very interesting product — part time servers, starting from a low £2.38 (around USD$4.37) per month, and you get:
- 128MB RAM
- 10GB storage
- 150GB monthly data transfer
- CentOS/Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu/Gentoo/OpenSuse/Slackware
- OpenVZ/HyperVM
UK or Dallas servers (if I remember correctly).
Now, the trick is that they are supposed to be “part time servers”. From their description page:
With our Part Time Servers you can purchase any of our servers for 50% less than the normal price but based on the idea of fair sharing. Like a desktop PC you turn it on when needed and when finished turn it off…
For this we do operate a “fair share” approach in that we ask users to aim for 50% usage over a month (i.e. 2 weeks usage out of 4 weeks) and anyone over this we will contact and ask to limit usage or to upgrade to a normal plan.
So basically you pay 50% the price and you can not turn on your server for more than 50% of the time. Nice if you are not serving something that require being 24/7 online. There are already many companies that give you per-day (Linode/SliceHost) even per-hour billing (Amazon EC2), but for the part time server, your files stay in tack when you switch the server off so it might be useful for backups.

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.
