Via this WHT offer. CurlHost has released a new website since featured here last week. Many links are still not working, but the new theme is indeed better-looking. It has also released some special OpenVZ offers. For $5/month you can get this on their Dallas server.
- 512MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
- 20GB storage
- 300GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Pretty good offer. The risk would be going to a relatively new company. Domain has been registered for 11 months although there is no indication that it has been operating for more than a month. WHOIS protection means no disclosure on the business + DNS on the same box means no redundancy. We’ll wait and see.

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.

None of the links on site work at all.
They seem to be reading this post . All links seem to be working now .
Their plans seem interesting . And they seem to allow private IRC as per their terms.
I don’t like the sub-title saying “Leading Hosting Solutions Provider”, you can’t be “Leading” if you are just opening, it is just a lie.
> IRC activity linked to any major IRC network is forbidden within out services.
So if you run a mere IRC client ‘linked’ to any major network, this is supposedly not allowed.
Right now they are down…
These are pretty fast. They are legit.
Just purchased hosting about 15 minutes ago. Awaiting activation. I’ll post back once they activate.
3 links gives me 3 404’s. I was looking to see what Dallas datacenter they’re in. From WHT, they’re in Colo4Dallas.
At 9:29PM CT last night they went offline… just checked again and they’re still offline. Could be network maintenance, but they didn’t email anyone about it.
I’m getting reports of these guys being down for quite along period of time now (4 – 8 hours now).
You heard anything, LEA?
No idea. My tracker reported it dead 6.5 hours ago, but it appears to be back now.
Still seems to down for me.
Still seems to be down for me*
After clearing my DNS Cache, it came back up… they must’ve done a dosey-doe with their IPs
The downtime was due to something which was overlooked. We are taking steps to ensure such incidents are prevented in future.
Tar and feathering? :)
These guys appear to be having a lot of trouble keeping their servers online. I was unfortunate enough to hit their server and order during a rare window that it was online. It has been a waste of money so far.
Yes we’ve been having certain issues with servers in Dallas. It appears due to compability issues. We can move you over to a new node which has not shown such issues (different hardware config) if you’d like.
Our sys admins are on monitoring the servers but each time a different reason is logged for the crash. That’s the reason there isn’t one fix for it. Contacted Openvz dev’s about the possible bug with the system but haven’t yet received a response so far.
You can email me directly at admin@curlhost.com and I can get it sorted for you.
I apolgoize for the issues and we’re working on it. :)
P.S. We test all our nodes before VM’s are deployed but the current issue occurs only when there are multiple VM’s running on it, which wasn’t included in our testing until now.
Down again….
