Via this WHT offer. DashingHost continues to provide some cheap VPS deals in Los Angeles CA, starting from $8.97/3 months, which I reported back in April. One level up is still within my listing criteria — $14.97/3 months for the following VPS
- 128MB guaranteed/192MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 150GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Order their Bronze VPS here. Probably not the best West Coast offer out there, when you have YardVPS in Los Angeles and BuyVM in Fremont, which offer better spec VPS (on paper) at 1/4 the price. Has anyone actually tested DashingHost since last time?

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.
I’ve been with them for like half a year now, on a 80M plan. Pretty good uptime, and decent disk I/O; ticket response time is not the best, but acceptable to me. I’m actually hosting a static production site, a personal wordpress blog, and a backup DNS server there. IMHO, VPS providers like dashinghost and ramhost are very good low end choices, unless your only concern is to push the prices to the bottom. Yardvps and buyvm are not bad considering their price tags, only thing is that they oversold too much to make any money and that does hurt performance and stability.
I guess I should shine some light on this :)
None of our nodes are oversold and only a few are actually ‘busy’. The only reason any of them are even busy (loads around 3 – 4) is because they are pending a reorganizing :) Since node05, each batch of plans we sell goes on a completely dedicated node just for that plan, which lets us balance resources nicely as well as track abuse quickly.
We colocate all of our equipment so while we sell out of stock a lot, we own everything and get unbelievable deals from Hurricane Electric meaning that even our cheapest plans are making us very good profit margins.
Anyone trying to offer our plans on rented equipment is nothing short of a dreamer and I’d personally be scared of picking up anything with them.
Best of luck to everyone!

My BuyVM also performs as expected of the specs not only on paper. :)
I don’t want to be a critisizer but BuyVM and other providers do have lower prices for more spec, even if those may be oversold :)OpenVZ for this much? Meh, it’s probably oversold as well, just not that much.
Is it just me or is their site design horrible? Just my personal opinion.
It does look horrible.
Its by Payton, and ever since he got caught not being original and unique, which is what he sold to clients, hes had to come up with his own ideas with actually look very ugly.

According to this WHT post, DashingHost appears to be dead as well.
